Library Mingle Log

[foundafamily]

Who: Everyone!
Where: The Library
When: Throughout their time in Struxta
Rating: PG, will edit if this changes
What: The Circle gets together for some research on what this place is all about. Please treat this like a mingle log--feel free to put up a starter and tag around!

The Library (hopefully) promises to have the answers that the Welcome Committee and the general robot on the street don't. Characters can access the information by computer, and the Library has just about everything that's happened in Struxta.

That's thousands of years of information to wade through, so get to work!

[ooc: As it says above, please feel free to put up your own starter and tag around! Characters can have heard others chatting about the library or been told about it by the Welcome Committee or have just wandered in. If you come across anything of interest that you'd like me to edit into or link in the main post, please just let me know.]

[Processors? Overheating? Elizabeth can't help but look confused for a moment as she glances back to the unconscious man, then it strikes her. Connor doesn't look much like Daylight or anyone else in this world for that matter but he must be an automaton all the same.

She gives a quick, firm nod of understanding - at least the basics, that is. If the unconscious man were human, his need to be rendered into a more stable condition would be the most vital thing, so she thinks.]

If you like, I can aid in making him somewhat more stable, at least with his overheating.

[Here she gives a small smile.]

Astoria has seen fit to make me a healer of sorts and I find such abilities work just as well on objects and mechanics as they do on humans. I fear I could not heal him all at once but I can certainly help with this overheating probably and ought to be able to aid further as time passes.

please forgive me for being in a different timezone ᕕ-ᐛ-ᕗ

[ meddy is offended and gives out a few choice beeps in reply at zari, sounding almost hurt that their diagnosis isn’s trusted. definitely flitting closer to elizabeth in hopes of finding some form of sympathy.

usually, daylight would give it to his buddy but he’s a little too busy looking hopefully at elizabeth himself. ]

Could you? Oh wow that’s amazing. [ daylight needs to squish that quick flare of envy he feels whenever he hears someone else's power. ] That could be a lot of help right now. [ he looks down, refocusing his optics to get a better idea of the guy’s current state. ] He really, really, really needs a lot of help.

[ but— he looks over to zari, not wanting to do this without getting her consultation first since, right now, she's the one with the most knowledge of how to deal with this. ] Can we...?

apologies from me as well! this week was a little crazy.

[hackedhistory]

No, yeah, by all means.

[Zari isn't really sure how this is going to work, exactly, but if Elizabeth thinks it will, then she is willing to try anything.]

Every little bit helps.

no worries!

[a_sharp_wit]

[They might be near the exit but stabilization seems the more important priority at the moment, at least in Elizabeth's opinion. With the go-ahead from Zari, she moves closer to Sunlight.]

If you do not mind then, all I should need to do is touch his head. One hand will do nicely.

[sunborne]

Okay. Yeah. Sure.

[ nodding so eagerly that his helm is doing a fantastic impression of those bobble headed toys back home, day begins to kneel down and shift his weight so the guy - oh man they never even got his name. - is closer within elizabeth's reach.

but then something occurs to him, visible by how his winglets suddenly flare out in worry - watch out, zari! - as he looks at elizabeth with worry in his optics. ]

... Will you be okay? He got hurt a lot. Like a lot. You're not going to get hurt in return for healing him, right?

[hackedhistory]

[Zari darts to the side when she sees something swinging out towards her face, and decides to just ... stand over by Elizabeth so she's out of the blast zone, at least for now.]

Yeah, let's not do that if it's something that's going to hurt you too.

[a_sharp_wit]

I assure you, it does not hurt. Perhaps it is tiring but I have certainly felt worse.

[That said, her fingertips are light as she lays them against the sides of Connor's head. She rests her palms against his hair and notes to herself that he certainly feels human enough.

She's gotten used to the feel of energy seeping through her fingertips, through the skin of her palm and the heel of her hand itself. It has something of a funny tickle to it, so she thinks. She stretches muscles well put to use in El Minha, focusing on that feeling and settling that focus near the forefront of her mind.

She gives the pair, Daylight and then Zari next to her, a soft smile. Her tone is light and breezy, ever the one to inject some levity where she thinks it might be necessary.]

Why you ought to have seen how busy I was in El Minha! One individual is almost a rest in comparison.

[sunborne]

[ oh wow.

oh wow oh wow oh wow.

it's a good thing that zari has moved far and away from daylight because- because there is no way that daylight can control the excited flaps of his winglets now, so strong and excited gusts of air is being formed with every flap. even if there's no visible sign of the healing process, she's healing connor all the same and it seems to be working?

it's definitely working, if meddy's reassuring trills and chirrs are anything to go by. it's working! (he hopes.)

there are practically stars in his optics when he looks at elizabeth now. ]

You’re the best, Elizabeth. The absolute and total best! Remind me to, like, treat you out next time.

[ but first: ] ... Do you think he's stable now, Zari? Meddy?

[hackedhistory]

[Zari takes a step closer and places her hand over the top of Connor's forehead, almost like she's checking for a fever on a human.]

Yeah, that's much better. Thank you.

[a_sharp_wit]

[Elizabeth herself shifts her hands away as Zari checks the man -- automaton -- over. The gusts of air wafting from Daylight's direction draws her attention back to him. There is a light lethargy settling within her limbs, though nothing at all like the ragged tiredness she had felt during El Minha. It's nothing a good nap or something longer wouldn't solve.]

I will keep you to that promise in the future.

[She's teasing, honest. When Zari pronounces Connor as being stable enough, her smile brightens with her relief.]

I am glad to hear such good tidings. I could not tell you what other work he might need but I doubt I am half as capable as the two of you in sorting that much out. If he needs further help however, do not hesitate in finding me.
