text, un: Hat Guy, backdated to the 6th

[ This message might seem poorly composed or slightly out-of-character for anyone who knows the Wanderer. ]

So far, all the experiments have healed any injuries we received upon its conclusion. But we can't rely on this always being the case, just like how the restocking period keeps getting longer month by month. Our captors might suddenly decide injuries are the next factor they're going to test for their stupid community-building bullshit.

So who here knows how to treat wounds or heal them? There are a few things I'd like to know.

( let's just say that this, too, is not an entirely selfless act. she's not sure she has that in her.

but even so, )

what would you like to know?

[ Oh, this is the one who gave him those atrocious gifts and the one who was interested in the greenhouse project. ]

What kinds of wounds can you treat? Minor or major injuries?

( it's the same feeling as last time, when she held back out of spite only to see someone fall to the brink of death when she could've helped.

this guilt thing sucks? wow. imagine that. )

i can't replace anything that's missing if that's what you're asking me
otherwise i do pretty ok

[ He's not about to reveal his real reason for asking, but it might be increasingly obvious as his questions get more specific. ]

Can you heal broken bones?

( she hasn't had to yet! well, not here. )

probably?
are you telling me you're typing at me with broken bones right now

( why can't the people she knows ask for help NORMALLY.. )

Check your assumptions. I'm merely trying to determine the abilities of the few healers we have here.

If the bones have been shattered into many small pieces, would you still be able to heal them?

well maybe i'll think about it when you check your tone

( hmph!! )

but, i can
it'll just take me a long time
like 'i'd have to come back everyday for a few days' long

( this is getting a little too specific for her to believe that this is just about gauging a healer's abilities though.. )

Still better than natural healing. No chances of your technique going awry and making things worse?

[ He can't take any chances when it comes to Altria, though it'll only be Fearne's word and not definitive proof. ]

( thinking about the ritual magic literally not that long ago - )

nope
does the healing magic in your world get weird or something or are you just always this paranoid

Better to be prepared for the worst than to be caught by surprise. Why shouldn't I be cautious of magic from another world? For all I know, yours could demand payment in blood.

some of them need diamond dust

( which is notably harder to get than blood. )

but that's for like.. diseases and stuff
which i can't do right now anyway because of the weird limits thing

[ Ah, so there was a cost to it. He's right to be paranoid then. ]

And what's the payment for the magic you can use right now?

[Well this doesn't do anything for his stress levels but. That's life here.]

I'm decent with basic first aid and I can take care of stitches... to an extent. I was still in classes. I wanted to keep learning.

But if I can help, I'd like to.

[ This kid was... the one that wanted yakitori, he remembers. Doesn't sound like someone who can help him with the real reason he made this post, unfortunately. But it's good to know that he has limited skill with treating wounds. It's still useful, he thinks. ]

Guess that's better than nothing. What exactly entails basic first aid? Dealing with minor cuts and scratches? Or does it include some proficiency with handling broken bones, or concussions and other less visible injuries?

[ Because... yeah, he doesn't actually know what people mean when they say first aid. He has never helped with injuries, even when he lived in Tatarasuna, because the smiths didn't bother with cuts and bruises, and anything severe enough to require treatment was handled by the village's doctor, out of his sight. ]

Taking a class on first aid was part of my hero courses back home. Some of the things I learned and was learning to do were:

- CPR.
- Heimlich Maneuver.
- Setting a Splint.
- How to stop Bleeding.
- Treat a Burn.
- Spot a Concussion.
- Support a Sprain.
- Sutures and Stitches.

But like I said, I was only learning to do these things well enough in the field. I wasn't training to be a hero with full medic training.

Do you need something specific, though?

[ Those are all surprisingly more useful than he'd imagined, which showed exactly how little he knew about the topic. But none of this would be able to help Altria, whose injuries were more severe. Well, he'd expected that, so it doesn't bother him. ]

I was mostly curious to know about more severe injuries like shattered bones or broken ribs. It doesn't seem like you can do much for those kinds of injuries. Is there a way to treat them past wrapping them tightly with bandages?

Ah...?? Those kind of injuries will need to be treated by a doctor, immediately...!? But I do think wrapping them tightly is a good start...

[ So that was the extent an untrained person could do to help Altria... then there was nothing more he could do personally. ]

I see.

[ And he's just going to leave the reply at that because what else is there to know? He's gotten the information he wants from Izuku. ]

Unfortunately, the most I know is basic first aid and some rudimentary stitches. However, if there are those here willing to teach, I would be happy to learn.

I have also noticed the restocking period becoming longer. Based on your reasoning, it also sounds like we should stock up on any medical supplies while we still can, if the restocking period.

[ So, not someone who can actually help him then. But he brings up a good point. Because of his sturdiness, he never thinks about injuries and wounds, and this hadn't occurred to him. What else might he be forgetting, in that case...? ]

Anything that's useful, we'd best start stocking up on. But if we're lacking in medically-inclined individuals, those will be especially important.

You should be able to take a few things at a time without being punished for hoarding. Best to start now. Find some empty apartment or building to store them in.

[ He starts pondering about the requirements for storing medical supplies. He's been scouting the interiors of buildings more often lately, so it shouldn't be hard to find a good place to start the stockpile. ]

Alright. I can start scouting the local pharmacies and hospitals for supplies that could be useful. If you know of a few locations we could begin storing them, I can bring them there; if not, I can store some in my own apartment.

If there are any books in the media store that offer more information of medical knowledge, perhaps they could be useful as well. It won't be the same as formal teaching, but some information is better than none if people are willing to learn.

Some office buildings have rooms that are designed to reduce humidity and control temperature so their control systems can run without risk. Those might be suitable for storing anything that must be kept sterile.

[ He's specifically referring to the server rooms in corporate offices that are often designed in such ways because servers were delicate pieces of hardware. Climate controlled rooms, static prevention, seismic protection and liquid-free mechanisms that could put out fires instantly. All of these made them good candidates for storing certain types of supplies. ]

We'd have to move the existing machinery out of those rooms, but they have no use to us save salvaging parts for devices of our own creation.

They should exist. I'll search through the media store for them.

[ There's much he needs to learn about treating injuries, so he could pass them on once he's read them from cover to cover. ]

Is that so? I hadn't considered that. It's a good strategy. Moving any equipment or machinery shouldn't be difficult, if you need to move anything.

Are there any office buildings you have already scouted? If not, I think I know of a couple that could be of use to us.

I'm familiar with a decent number of the buildings in this city. Most of them possess one or two of those kinds of rooms, so take your pick.

[ He's spent many nights scouting out the city in its entirety, and while he hasn't quite visited every building yet, he can say he's at least covered enough buildings to equal an entire district. ]

If we intend on making multiple stockpiles, one closer to often used facilities and one farther away from hubs of activity would be ideal.

[ You could never be too careful...if one day District One was targeted as a hub of activity, having a stockpile of medical supplies elsewhere would be a lifesaver. And having one in the first district is just for ease of access. ]

That's a good idea. It would mean multiple trips, and a few people checking in on them to ensure they are well managed, but it would be a good plan.

Aside from medical supplies, we should also begin storing other useful items. Food, perhaps, and maybe other necessities.

When it comes to survival, function should be preferred over convenience. It might be annoying, but it could be what saves us one day.

A good idea. Let me know when you've come up with the list of items we need.

[ Is he foisting the work on to Fumikage? Yes. But for good reason. As a puppet, he has no need for anything to survive. Therefore, if he were to come up with a list of necessities that a human might need, he would be likely to forget something. It's better that a human handle creating that list. ]

No, you are right. Though perhaps we could get a few different people adding to the stockpiles.

Of course. I'll come up with as many items I can think of, and pass it along to you. If there is any other items we should consider, we can prioritize them as well.

[He doesn't know about the artificial nature of Hat Guy's being, so he's assuming this is just another human stuck here like them.]

Trustworthy people. Most people here might have good intentions, but you'd be a fool to believe everyone does.

[ The last thing they'd need is someone poisoning the stockpile or destroying it when they need it most. He's not so trusting to believe someone won't do that, even here where there are so little of them. ]

If I think of anything, I'll let you know.
