video; CW: animal neglect
[A VERY URGENT message shows up on the comms at around 11 PM Christmas night. Qubit is outdoors in Heropa with one George O'Malley, both their overcoats liberally dusted with snow despite the fact it's not snowing in Florida. (It is snowing in De Chima, however.) Both appear to be cradling something very small and helpless inside said coats.]
Does anyone know a good emergency vet that's open right now?
[George seemed to teeter slightly as he steps off a curb. It could simply be from the distress and panic of rescuing puppies on Christmas - or it could be the somewhat large amount of bourbon he put into his very small body over the past two and a half hours. Really, it’s a toss-up. Dogs, or booze.
He leans in Qubit’s general direction, gesturing.]
Do you think CPR’s different if it’s on a dog? [Then, slurred but urgent-] Don’t touch it too much, the blood vessels could expand too fast.
What do you mean, "don't touch it too much"? I can't not touch it, it's barely the size of my hand. Look, just - let's just get them a vet. Neither of us is qualified for this. [He looks back to the camera, trying not to be distressed (but being a little distressed).] Please hurry. The rest of the litter was already gone, I don't know how long these two will last.
((ooc: green is Qubit, blue is George!))

[Her healing is the same on a dog as it is in a person right?]

[You have no idea Qubit.]

[George shuffles into the shot and unzips his coat just enough for Gwen to see the top of a tiny puppy head.]

[Qubit is probably aware of her unregistered status and the fact that it's why she'd want to do anything inside rather then outside.]

[He hangs up and opens a portal into the living room of the house, motioning for George to head through first.]

I made a spot for them. How bad are they?
no subject
This one's still shivering, which is good. You should look at Qubit's first.

Her hands started to glow a violet before she carefully rested them over the puppy; not quire touching it. She closed her eyes and sent mana into the tiny thing, willing it to heal what had been damaged and strengthen it. Honestly, she'd really only done this for mostly minor wounds on Ben and Kevin during fights, but again, the concept seemed the same - in theory. All things were made of mana so mana SHOULD be able to heal and protect all things.
Once she'd finished she continued to watch the puppy with worry.]
If this doesn't work we should call that guy, or Gogo as soon as we can.
[Even saying that she hoped it worked.]
no subject
Looks as if that did something, at least.
[He pulls the puppy back to his chest, and motions George over so she can do the same thing for his. What's the next step? An incubator, they'll definitely need that. Easy enough to make, once he has a moment. And then....... then he will need to ask the Google.]
[Meanwhile-] Why Gogo? [He's acquainted with her, but he's pretty sure her powers have nothing to do with animals.]
no subject
Awesome.
[George marvels at the change in the puppy's movement, and passes his over quickly.]
no subject
[Gwen's not even sure what to say to that since she's never had anyone call her abilities awesome before. She just takes the pupbean from him and gathers together another glowing handful of mana, resting her hand over the pupbean and carefully letting the mana sink in.]
There's a heating pad under the blankets. It should make due till we can make something better for them.
no subject
[And actually she beat him to what he was going to suggest next, i.e. "make something better." THIS IS THING HE CAN DO]
Right, yes! [He hands his particular puppy off to Gwen.] Hold this a moment, will you? I'll whip something up. [Without waiting for a reply, he heads out the back door toward the shed, where he still has a bunch of parts stockpiled.]
[action]
[He looks down at the little wriggly pup in his coat and tries to think like a doctor. Maybe he could do a cardiopulmonary bypass. Except - no, that is a terrible idea, it would require extensive veterinary education and an emergency room full of tiny equipment. A tiny emergency room. Would that work? Why do the streetlights look so big?]
no subject
Who gives a puppy alcohol? Please tell me people don't actually do that.

[He's not sure what's more incredible - the fact that someone brought a 150-pound wild animal to a human hospital in the first place, or that the human hospital actually treated it.]
no subject
[He unzips his jacket a bit to check on the puppy.]
She could probably do a cardiopulmonary bypass on a puppy.
[For all that he's stumbling around right now, it's sort of impressive that George can say "cardiopulmonary bypass" flawlessly.]
no subject
Do you need to sit down?

If your friend isn't capable of healing them, I definitely am. [always good to have a backup, right?] And my home is open if you need somewhere for them to stay.
video;
Thank you. I'll let you know how this goes. [Glances sideways at George and Gwen, who are nearby but out of frame.] I'd still like a vet to see them as soon as possible. They've got to be very young, their eyes aren't even open.

[it's a civilian outfit, but Jonathan doesn't discriminate and he knows that the dogs don't either. they love anyone who spends even a moment of their time helping.]
Do you know what happened..?

It's always difficult for animals to deal with sudden changes in weather, let alone little ones. [he gives a small sigh] I can't imagine they're the only ones in need of help tonight.

[Runs a hand through his hair. He did just come from the soup kitchen earlier.]

[he'd hoped that some of this would have changed from his own days, but Jonathan supposes that a problem like this was too vast to be solved in a measly hundred or so years.]
