Bisi September Catch-all

Characters: Bisi and You! Also starter for Milyn
Date: Throughout September
Location: Around Keeliai
Situation: come hit Bisi or Mag up for things!
Warnings/Rating: none so far

A. Bisi has gotten a place in the Sky Sector, a humble kedanese architecture house, which besides being a home for Bisi and the somatic link for Mag, is also a halfway house for a family of Kin'nal. Bisi spends rather little time conscious in the place, to the Kin'nal's joy, but it's still far from an ideal living arrangement.

B. Bisi is now working as a Biologist instructor at the College, which gives her access to the labs for research. She's currently trying to study the Dust that recently started a riot in the sky sector.

C. The Apothecary - closed to Milyn and Penny, Sept 5th
Bisi seeks out Milyn to question her Dust and if she can shed any light on how to neutralize it. She waits outside for Penny before going in.

D. Mag continues to patrol the city and train new officers in the lot beside the Dojo. Her armored body, unexpressive shifting face and martial arts expertise make her an intimidating instructor, and her strict technique only reinforces the perception.

Penny has his own reasons for wanting to learn more about Dust. There's a chance the substance will help him keep the voices in his head down and could help him to focus without needing to explain his condition to everyone to get the narcotics he's been using lately. Careful dosage, select need. He's never been an addict, thankfully, despite OD'ing once before.

"You her?" He asks as he approaches, eyeing the acquaintance up and down a little. She looks alien. While that isn't inherently a bad thing -- hell, he's friends with a number of kedan now -- and he's dealt with his share of judgment for how he looks, he can't help but distrust the unfamiliar at least a little.

"Yes. My name is Bisi." She half-bowed in her wheelchair.

She didn't really have any snap judgements of Penny. Most of the people in Keeliai had a unique sense of fashion; she didn't have any stereotypes to fall back on.

"Ready?" she asked, turning to the door to Milyn's place.

Inside Milyn's clinic, a few kedan were perusing the wares on the shelves, and the Healer herself was wrapping up a purchase for a customer. The bell above the door will jingle when they enter, and the kedan woman will give them a cheery smile. "Come in, come in!"

"Penny," he offered in return, though there was no handshake or any other form of greeting to accompany it. Instead, the magician crossed his arms and turned to follow her into the place. The bell in the door and the setup of the shop made him feel oddly nostalgic and comfortable. This was the kind of place he had visited many a time back in his own world.

He glanced over some of the herbs and other such things for sale, brushing his fingers over a couple of hanging items before returning his attention to Bisi and the woman he assumed was Milyn.

Bisi follows behind. "Hello, you're Milyn, yes?"

She glances at some of the other patrons. She guessed that even with the recent controversy and public announcement, Milyn's shop was just so functional that it was hard to stay away. Or maybe these people supported Milyn's reasoning behind creating the dust.

Even so, she took the advice given over the console and decided not to speak too loudly about it. She approached Milyn and in a whisper, asked, "Could we speak somewhere more private?"

Milyn kept ringing through her customers' purchases as she replied. "Oh, I'm much too busy for that, dear. What did you need? Sleep aid, rash ointment, energy perk? I can whip up anything you're craving, even for cravings!"

"Ah..." She looks around again, nervously. "I was hoping to ask you about Dust, actually."

The Healer tsked loudly, even as some of the kedan browsing the shelves glanced up and over at the overheard mention. "I don't sell that."

Bisi frowned. "No, I don't want to buy any."

Although- having an actual pure sample would be very useful to compare to the traces she harvested from the North Sector.

"At least not personal use. I actually was hoping you could shed some light on what it is, so that I might devise some type of antigen or something to relieve the symptoms."

Penny rejoined them from his browsing, listening in from the first words. He glanced at the kedan nearest them, who seemed annoyed with their interruption, and made a point of making himself look intimidating just to be safe. Then he turned to where Milyn and Bisi were chatting, picking up and examining another item near the counter as he spoke, clearly less invested.

"You can really make something for anything?" Priorities and all. "And if you don't sell it, how come you know so damn much about it?"

"Well that part should be obvious," Milyn tittered. "I thought everyone had been told about my little 'secret' by now. I created, or rather co-created, the formulaic base for what became Dust. Not with its current intention in mind, of course, I saw that it wasn't what I was aiming for and then stopped work on it. But it's not a bad first attempt."

Bisi frowned. Penny seemed to actually be distracting Milyn from the intended conversation, and she'd already been warned that it was hard to keep Milyn on track.

"But can you help counter it? You know about the riot in the sky sector, yes?"

"Of course I know about it," she responded haughtily. "I was there, after all. Helping the people who were affected. What kind of Healer do you take me for, anyway?"

"One who accidentally created a lethal drug that's now taking over the streets," Penny replied honestly, though without much malice. He'd heard of things nearly as bad from one of his favorite healers, after all.

"You didn't answer her other question. Can you counter the side effects or the withdrawals?"

"Only some of them," Milyn answered, with a roll of her eyes as though Penny's reminder was irritating. "The physical ones, I can address. But what Daseng built into Dust, are not solely physical properties."

"So there's 'magic' in it now?" Maybe Zatanna could help, then.

"Well, I think somehow that's a little vague," the Healer answered dubiously, "but yes, something to that effect. I know very little about it, you have to understand. I'm no magician."

"Who's the hell's Zatanna?" He asks Bisi, not even realizing that the words weren't spoken aloud.

Then his attention is back on Milyn. "I am a Magician. So how the hell do I get a damn sample and the resources to test it?"

Hmm? Had she said that out loud?

"She's a foreigner, she works at the welcome center, I'm a little surprised you know her. She knows a bit about 'magic.'"

Milyn seemed unimpressed by Penny's brusque tone. "If that's what you want, I'll get you a sample, but if you go messing around with it and dose yourself, don't even think about coming to me to fix it!" she huffed.

Although given her track record with fussing over Foreigners, she'd probably fix any accidental exposure anyway.

"I would greatly appreciate that, thank you. Don't worry, I know how to deal with potentially dangerous samples. I'm using the lab at the college to analyze it."

She moved to follow Milyn. "I don't know the story, exactly. But.. I understand what it like to try to help people... and it not going exactly how you thought it would."

"Do you?" Milyn's countenance softened. "It's nice to hear that, dear. Honestly, you'd think none of the other Foreigners had ever made an oops in their entire lives. You just let me know what you need, and I'll get it for you."

She smiled, a pained smile.

"A sample, to compare what was found in the sky sector. I'd like to find out how it differs, if it does. Do you have other research that you can share about its development?"

Penny followed along silently. As long as he got a sample to test with his magic and a little bit on the side, he'd be content. He was oblivious to most of the dangers the pair were warning about, but that wasn't going to stop him. Besides, that's what Bisi was for.

"I'll see what I can put together for you. Will you come back tomorrow, to give me a chance to do that?"
