[ The text comes in just before noon the day after karaoke night. ]

So do the dead get hangovers? :p

[deaths_head]

Very fucking funny, little mage.

Think I might be dead CAUSE of this stupid goddamn hangover. Makes me wish I still had some of them herb sachets from good old Yiska back in the day. Some of the ghosts 'round here don't know when to shut up while a man's eyeballs is bleeding.

[wearenotbroken]

So what you're saying is that you are no better at handling your liquor. Gotcha.

If I can find the ingredients, I can make you some of those sachets.

[deaths_head]

The hell you say? Telling an Irishman he can't hold his liquor--I oughta make you eat crow, next time we hit the bar.

Some things can be ordered through customs, but it can take a dog's age to ship. And that's IF you can get them.

[wearenotbroken]

I would take you up on that but I remember what it's like trying to drag your ass somewhere, no thank you.

You have so little faith in me, I'm offended.

[deaths_head]

Drag MY ass? The hell you talking about, you never dragged me nowhere.

[They were never together long enough for that...

They were never together, period...right?]

[wearenotbroken]

You just keeping telling yourself that, Josiah.

Anyways, I need your advice.

[deaths_head]

You're asking the man who made Death his houseguest, and was gullible enough to get tricked into eternal damnation, for advice?

Sure. Why not? What's on your mind, little mage?

[wearenotbroken]

Would I be foolish to heal someone here?

[deaths_head]

If you're asking that, I'm assuming we're talking about a healing beyond the will of Fate, not just some bumps and bruises--cause I've healed my fair share of even serious injuries here. Might wanna look at the medical folk here for a job, if you're gonna do a lot of that.

Getting off track here: this person you wanna help. What's the extent of their ills?

[wearenotbroken]

No, I don't want to be a full time healer here. I'm going to work in farming and live a quieter life than I have in the last century or so.

He's paralyzed, can't walk.

Hey Joe...big favor. Like...Asgardian big..

Re: Text 9/1

[deaths_head]

Always. Name it, Boss.

Re: Text 9/1

[not_fragile]

I want to try riding Fjǫrnir. Loki's horse.

[That huge mare in her stables.]

I've just never done it without Loki.

Re: Text 9/1

[deaths_head]

She was fair steady with me when I was working for you. I ain’t Loki, but she never bucked me much.

Be happy to help, but if it’s all the same to you? I’d like to fix you up with a talisman first. So you don’t break the important bits if she gets uppity.

Re: Text 9/1

[not_fragile]

She always had a rougher gait with me than Othello, thats why I had to special order my own for riding.

That would actually be much appreciated. And put certain people at ease when I tell them.

[As in Harry doesn't know about her crazy plan yet.]

Re: Text 9/1

[deaths_head]

[He knows the unspoken name. He does not envy her—but he can’t help but smirk to himself at her little predicament, either.]

I’ll bring booze with the talisman. You’re gonna need it, I reckon.

Re: Text 9/1

[not_fragile]

Probably yeah. [She grins to herself a little.] And I'll bring the weed. He'll need it.

Re: Text 9/1

[deaths_head]

Damn right--then again, maybe keep him the hell away from the whole damn thing. Knowing him, he'll sail up on roller skates and spook the poor girl.

[The last karaoke night will never leave the poor man's brain.]

Re: Text 9/1

[not_fragile]

Oh Joe, you should really give him more credit. He knows to not spook horses...particularly when I'm on them.

Especially not to spook the Asgardians. They both wanted to fight the dinos when the first arrived and damn near knocked me out of their paddock.
