[ Finn waves at the video and immediately gets down to business. ]

So, Archie and I have been talking and we’re wanting to get the, uh- Heal Squad? [ He glances off screen then looks back. ] We want to get the Heal Squad together again. Basically, we want it to be a group of imPorts with healing abilities that can get together in case there’s a crisis. So, if you have an ability like that or if you have any medical knowledge at all, we’d be interested in… getting together?

[ He looks off camera again. ] Archie, I have no idea what I’m doing.

[do you think there will be some actual advice, from archie’s end? oh, no. he’s still slightly off camera, and a party horn suddenly blows, hitting finn lightly in the face. archie leans in, still blowing it, big grin on his face.]

That makes two of us, ha! Right, so, some of you might remember when our dearly exPorted Magnus Chase had the idea to gather the imPorts who can actually and are willing to use their healing powers. Be they Porter given or otherwise. Finn an’ I figured that it would probably be an idea to throw that back together, given the constantly rotating nature of this shitshow.

[he gives a big cheesy thumbs up at the camera.] So the plan is the same as before, sound off if you have a power and you’re willing to help, keep this broadcast bookmarked for the names that’ll be noted down that you know you can call if you want ‘em for any reason rather than using the medical services here, and sign a legal document acknowledging none of us are actually doctors! Foggy, that one’s for you!

[ Finn, after jumping and scrubbing at his eyes because of the sudden party horn, now smiles at the camera almost like he’s holding back a laugh. He waves again. ] If there’s any more legal stuff we should look into, feel free to let us know. Thanks, everyone.

[holding the party horn between two fingers like it's a cigarette, archie blows it again in the corner of his mouth.]

I'll never get used to doing serious shit like this. [he nudges finn's shoulder.] Don't think you even needed me, you camera hogging charisma fountain.

[hatejakku]

[ Finn sputters a laugh at charisma fountain. ]

Please, you did way better than me. You actually know what we're talking about. And I think they'll appreciate the horn.

[ He was good at keeping serious topics serious. He was no good at lightening things up. ]

[rebelhealer]

I'm a healer.

[h2no]

Ah! You mentioned that at that swear in a while back, right?

[he nods.]

You're welcome to join, if you wish. It ain't no official thing or anythin', though, so don't expect a paycheque.

[hatejakku]

You'll fit right in, then. I'm Finn. It's good to meet you.

video. sometimes the inside is identical to the outside.

[flightforfreedom]

[ Ugh, he loves these guys so much. ]


Ugh, I love you guys so much.

poe...

[h2no]

Finn is pretty great, eh? You caught a real good one, here.

video.

[hatejakku]

[ Finn laughs, blushing from the praise of both Poe and Archie, even if their conversation looks like it got weird fast. ]

Love you, too? I thought you didn't like this idea.

[Video]

[sleight_of_hand]

Hey, Archie; this is a great idea!

[ ...that was too nice. ]

Have you thought of a squad uniform? May as well go all the way, right?

Re: [Video]

[h2no]

I'm interested to hear your design, Adachi. It sounds like you have one in mind.

[his tone is wry. he feels like he knows what's about to come.]

Haven't seen a doctor since 400 BC.

Re: permavid

[h2no]

Maybe I'll think of part of this that needs funding and you could fund it by selling your organs repeatedly.

[hatejakku]

Um... I don't think we're qualified to do check-ups.

[drivesadesk]

I really appreciate you guys doing this! It's always good to know who you can go to for healing.

Re: Video

[h2no]

That's the intent.

[there's a pause, then archie switches to private. he doesn't know if jon is okay to talk about this publicly...]

How are you feelin' about acid blood and such? I can still see if I can find someone who can do it contactless... or we can keep the same agreement.

[pullsheavendown]

I can do cure magic? I'm not that great at it, though.

Re: video;

[h2no]

Nice! What does that entail? Sounds like toxin healin' and such. Don't worry about skill, practice makes perfect and perhaps there's someone out there that'll see this and be willing to teach!

video;

[hatejakku]

That's okay. With all of us together, I'm sure we can help each other out, learn a thing or two from everyone.

My name's Finn.

[sonofgold]

I think this is a great idea. Count me and my healing in.

Re: video

[h2no]

I was thinkin' of asking you, Al! Glad for the help. Hows it all goin'? Don't take on too much along with your Aegis work, now.

[onlydoubts]

I'd be open to helping, you know I can heal as well. Not sure if the stipulation that comes with my ability would disqualify me, though?

[ he wants to help, but if they're uncomfortable with him getting hurt to do it, well... ]

Re: video »

[h2no]

If you want to help, you want to help. As long as you don't feel pressured to use the power you have.

[he cocks his head, humming.]

There's no rules or anything, but I'm sure there's ways to work around it. Guess we just gotta practice with small stuff, eh? I wouldn't be surprised if there's parts of all our powers we ain't unlocked yet.

[solarcharged]

[ Apollo looks DELIGHTED by this. ]

That is such a good idea. I'd say 'hopefully we'll never need you guys' but... [ He trails off with a meaningful gesture at the general world around him. ] ...This world, you know.

Re: video

[h2no]

[figuring he knows apollo well enough to deliver That Bullshit, archie's first response is to hold up his own comm and press a fart soundboard app. just a solid minute long fart noise.]

This world! [he says, at the end of it.]

[redcosmedic]

Excuse you, some of us are 'actually doctors'.

Re: video;

[h2no]

[he seems unfettered by the giant robot?]

Well, shit! I shoulda guessed there was at least one of us with enough brain cells to rub together to get through medical school. What's your name, big man?

[pharmaka]

I am more proficient with protection than with healing, but you may include me. I am called Circe.

Re: video

[h2no]

Anything that helps, right? Thanks for speakin' up, Circe. How does your power work?

[a beat.]

Not-- not in an interview and scouting way, I'm just nosey.

video

[am_i_a_monster]

I have a healing power. It only works when I play harpsichord. So a patient would have to be able to come to me or hear me play over the phone.

Re: video

[h2no]

Yo, Abigail! Good t'hear from you again. How're you doin'?

[okay onto the actual topic.]

That works just as well as anything. Do recordings work? Ah-- you know, I bought that CD of yours! You got a lot of talent.
