[ooc: backdated to Sand In Your Eyes (end of)]

Hello, Hermione here, currently writing this from the exit of Ra'esh's temple.

We've found water for the sandworms in a pool, in a cave. We also found a woman in that cave. Her name was Marath, she was alive, and she was tied to the altar and chained. We've set her free - and if anyone has a word of criticism about that decision, by all means, convince me why any living soul should be chained to an altar and left to rot and to thirst and to die. I'll wait.

Anyway, Marath's people are the ones who occupied Uruksithar. She claimed she was left behind because she warned them not to go into the desert. Once freed, Marath ran (rather athletic for someone of her condition if you ask me) and left myself and Vi locked in the temple.

Don't worry, we're out now. Keep an eye out for Marath, if you can. And don't drink the water from the cave if you make it there, it felt...oozy.

[ooc; If you'd like some context, here you go.]

I expect neurosurgery will be inevitable in that case.

[rehandle]

Exactly.

Seriously though, I don't imagine you need me to tell you this but if you notice any persistent side-effects don't sleep on them.

[reparo]

I promise I will not.

[rehandle]

Good. I'll leave you to your adoring public. Best of luck.

[reparo]

Thanks.

[reparo]

Wait!

[reparo]

Have you met Dr McCoy?

[rehandle]

I have not.

[ It's hard not get a sense of who's who when you're making camp with them day in day out, but he's not officially introduced himself yet. ]

[reparo]

Well, I think you should. For starters, because he's from Earth - and the future. He travels through space!

[rehandle]

Oh, great. A space doctor.

[ Space sucks!!! (Jk he and space just got off on the wrong foot.) ]

How do you know I'm not from the future?

[reparo]

I don't - you might be? But you're not from a spaceship kind of future. I'm not even sure you're from my future, to be honest.

There's plenty of people here from a version of Earth - might be safe to assume there are multiple versions.

[ Multiverses, if you will. ]

[rehandle]

I'll have you know that I've been to space, inside a spaceship. Assuming makes an ass of u and me.

Expect that assumption. That one's correct.

[reparo]

Right, then. Clearly, you contain multitudes.

[rehandle]

I do, in fact.

[ when will young people stop bullying him ]

I'll make sure to introduce myself to Dr McCoy. Thanks for recommending your physician.
