May 3: Alas! I am dying!

[Tommy More]

Although the experts and doctors assured Tommy it was just a reaction to the weather patterns and nothing to be concerned about, he was still annoying all the staff with his proclamations of his sure to be forthcoming death.

[Isabel Galen]

"Hi." Isabel said as she walked in "Dr. Noe sent me in to check on you. I'm Isabel."

[Tommy More]

"Isabel? Why couldn't they have sent the doctor?"

[Isabel Galen]

"I'm a healer." Isabel said "If there is anything physically wrong with you, I can fix you right up."

[Tommy More]

"No, no, surely, it is too late for that now."

[Isabel Galen]

"Dude, I've cured fatal illness before." Isabel replied "Give me your hand, please."

[Tommy More]

Tommy did so.

[Isabel Galen]

"You came in here for a paper cut?" Isabel said after a moment.

[Tommy More]

"No!"

[Isabel Galen]

"Thats all thats wrong with you. Other than your power freaking out."

[Tommy More]

"No, surely, this is the signs of a wasting illness!"

[Isabel Galen]

"Hey, if you want to hang out on your true love's grave and die of consumption, follow your bliss. But I'm telling you, there isn't any illness to cure."

[Tommy More]

"Maybe you're not very good at your job!"

[Isabel Galen]

"I'm very good at what I do, and so are the other people who looked at you." Isabel said matter of factly "If you want, I can get you some juice, or a snack."

[Tommy More]

"...that would be good, yes."

[Isabel Galen]

"What would you like?"

[Tommy More]

"I don't know....a nice strong port would be nice."

[Isabel Galen]

"That doesn't involve alcohol."

[Tommy More]

"THat's not NEARLY as fun."

[Isabel Galen]

"But better for you. Since you're apparently dying of ebolatyphoidaidsteebee, I'd suggest staying off the sauce. Maybe some orange juice?"

[Tommy More]

"Dying of WHAT?"

[Isabel Galen]

"Something that you don't have. But I could give it to you, if you'd like to die of several illnesses at once."

[Tommy More]

"THAT doesn't sound good."

[Isabel Galen]

"Its the way my power works." Isabel said with a shrug "I pull the disease out, and I either have to give it to someone else or get it myself. Usually lab rats. But since you want to be sick, and I actually like lab rats......"

[Tommy More]

"I don't WANT to be sick you clod, I AM dying!"

[Isabel Galen]

"Duh. I mean, in your condition, if you're lucky you've got maybe eighty, ninety years left."

[Tommy More]

"...come again?"

[Isabel Galen]

"Everyone is going to die eventually. Since you aren't a shapeshifter, and you don't have a healing factor, I'm guessing that you aren't going to live much beyond human normal. So, eighty or ninety years."

[Tommy More]

"You are mocking my tragic fate."

[Isabel Galen]

"I'm being realistic."

[Tommy More]

"You're SURE I"m not gonna die?"

[Isabel Galen]

"Positive."

[Tommy More]

"That's good, I suppose..."

[Isabel Galen]

"Once the weather gets back to normal, you'll be fine. Promise."

[Tommy More]

"What the bloody hell IS going on, anyway?"

[Isabel Galen]

"Magic, apparently."

[Tommy More]

"Bloody magic."

[Isabel Galen]

"It does suck, most verily."
