[!!!]
Are they okay?

[ The next message comes after some deliberation. ]

Not that I know of. Just was curious.

[jumpthegun]

Yeah. Just stress from everything. It's one thing after another.

[That response is suspicious.]

Zell, if someone experiencing pain, I'd like to know. I might be able to prescribe something for it.

[swatsflies]

Things have been nuts here for them.
Well, sounds like it could have been nuts for them at home, too.

[ Whoops. Just going to play it off like it's not a big deal. ]

Nothing to worry about.
I had an increase in pain, but I can handle it.
Concentrate on getting better and getting down here to visit Angel, Rhys, and Dumpy.

[jumpthegun]

[Zell, you are pinging his parental instincts rather hard at the moment. Not to mention, you're giving him someone else to worry about. It's a relief.]

How much of an increase? Do you have medication? Were you injured recently? Or is this something to do with MN, do you think?

[swatsflies]

[ He doesn't understand people being parental. He only has his Ma and she's pretty hands off and lets him do his own thing. ]

I could ignore the soreness before.
Can't really now. So, I guess a lot?
It's from the MN poisoning.
It's been ongoing for about three months.
I have aspirin. Talking to G. H. about getting something stronger.

[jumpthegun]

He's not trying to prescribe you narcotics, is he?

[Just... checking. Really, it's probably what John would go to, as well, but all things considered.]

[swatsflies]

[ Whoa. How'd he guess? ]

It sounds like he might be.
I told him I didn't want anything that would make me dumb.
He said that people react differently to medication.

[ Does that help at all? ]

[jumpthegun]

[It's almost like the drug addict is completely predictable.]

That is true. Have you ever been on narcotics before? Prescribed or recreationally?




It's fine if you've done them for fun. I'm not going to yell at you about it.

[swatsflies]

No! Nothing like that.
That would get you kicked out from Garden.

[ He's mostly a good rule abiding kid. ]

We usually just use over the counter stuff.
Or potions and cure spells.

[jumpthegun]

[But those punk tattoos and hair, Zell!]

Potions and cure spells. Right. I'm not sure the Admin's going to have those, so a regular prescription for this world is probably the best you can hope for right now. Try to hold out, Zell, and if you have any trouble with your medication, you can let me know if you're not comfortable with him.

[swatsflies]

[ Nothing says good life choices like a tattoo on the face! ]

Pretty sure they won't go for that either.
He's putting me on oxycodone. Ten mg.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks, man. :)

[jumpthegun]

Not a problem and good luck!

[He'll just quietly fret from afar.]
