[He normally doesn't bother with network posts. But this was a fairly long time in coming.]

Who here knows about painkillers, anesthetics, or other analgesic drugs?

Most of us have gone through surgery to get additional implants or modifications, or know someone who has, and every fucking time it's the same damn story: "This won't be done with any anesthetics as it's an elective procedure and LILITH is saving anesthetic drugs for life-saving medical procedures."

That's bullshit.

If they're cutting into us to do surgery, it's a damn life-saving medical procedure because we're the ones saving their fucking lives! The least they can do is knock our asses out or numb it before digging in and shoving more crap into our bodies! It's odd as hell a place with this much technological advancements doesn't have a way to create or access a steady supply of painkillers, so it's probably just not on their priority list.

I'm not a botanist or a chemist, but I know medical pain relievers started with plants before it became chemicals derived from them. Coca, thyme, clove, poppies, and curare are some of the original bases. I'm leaving the city next week to try to locate some of these in the wild and bring them back for cultivation. If you want to come with me, meet me in front of the base at dawn next Tuesday.

In the meantime, if anyone has knowledge about this, share it. Just cause they won't help in this doesn't mean we can't.


[ooc: for the record, i'm no botanist, chemist, or medical practitioner myself, but i'm happy to do some research if we wanna go down some kind of rabbit hole with this. feel free to mingle and interact further to share information or ideas if you like. hypothetically, if this succeeds, it would make future reward surgeries less burdensome on the outsiders... unless LILITH's just doing the pain on purpose.]

You actually got one of the implants here?

[And yet you gave us shit for getting the style chip recently...]

Which one?

[blastedass]

[You're gonna hear this one, man.]

HELL NO!! ARE YOU MAD?!

I HAVEN'T GOTTEN A SINGLE FUCKING THING FROM THEM SINCE DAY ONE!!

[thundercrashes]

Oh, so it was someone else who got one that you are bitching on behalf of.

[That's what Manjoume is being made to assume here.]

[blastedass]

[DO YOU HAVE TO PUT IT THAT WAY?!]

I'M NOT FUCKING BITCHING, ASSHOLE!!

[thundercrashes]

IF YOU WEREN'T BEFORE, YOU DEFINITELY ARE NOW!

[Otherwise you wouldn't be going all caps on us here, BAKAGOU.]

[blastedass]

WHAT?! I'M YELLING AT YOU!! HOW'S THAT BITCHING?!

[Bitching is more like complaining. This is not complaining. This is yelling at a dumbass for being a dumbass, SAWBLADE HEAD!!]

[thundercrashes]

BECAUSE CLEARLY YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH WHAT I AM SAYING, HENCE YOU STARTED BITCHING AT ME!!

[again, what the fuck are these two even arguing about this time]

[blastedass]

THEN SPIT IT OUT!!

[It's obviously because Manjoume was gonna say something DUMB!!]

[thundercrashes]

oh my god, I already asked whether or not this post was because of either you or someone else getting the implants here, do you not even remember the past five minutes or something

[granted, he assumed more so than asked a few tags ago, but still]

[blastedass]

AND I SAID I DIDN'T GET ONE!!

[that leaves only the option he isn't admitting to!]

[thundercrashes]

Then someone else did, which is all you had to say instead of flipping out on me!

[blastedass]

What?! You straight up assumed I got an implant!!

[thundercrashes]

Look, your post is vague enough that it made it sound like you were asking these questions because you wrre the one who got an implant, okay?

[Fucking sue him then for not realizing otherwise and that Bakugou has not in fact changed his mind about getting one himself yet...]

[blastedass]

I didn't get one and I'm not going to! I don't trust these assholes not to keep controlling them once they're in.

[The oculars in their heads and the implant in their wrist are more than enough evidence to be untrustworthy...

Consider yourself sued, Buzzsaw Head.]

[thundercrashes]

Fair enough.

[It's a sound argument, and frankly part of the reason why so far Manjoume has only gotten the style chip. Anything else that might somehow affect his mind is absolutely off the table if he can avoid it...]

Then, to the question at hand: I'm not a chemist or botanist either, but is there at least any sleep aids people can use if not pain killer type stuff during the day? 'Cause like, at least trying to sleep it off is better than lying awake in pain I would think...

[blastedass]

[Bakugou's resisted getting the style chip upgrade so far, and after the stupid maid malfunction in a future thread, he'll be even less inclined to get it. The only one he's considered is the healing implant, but... that just starts a war in his head each time he's in a situation it could've been useful.]

Nothing I've heard of outside basic painkillers at the drugstore and home remedies. They don't send you back to your room with a bag of fucking opioids to pop for the next week.

[Come in, cut you up, finish the job, and send you back out with some Advil.]

[thundercrashes]

Yeesh. Even Duel Academy at least tried with treatihg its students better than that despite some of the fucked up nonsense that happened there.

[Though, they probably should of had a therapist on staff in regards to the school's particular brand of "fucked up nonsense" but alas.]

[blastedass]

U.A. had nurse's office to treat injured students and staff too.

It's fucking ridiculous they'd bring people in, nerf their abilities, then dangle power ups in front of them to get stronger, but require surgery without any damn meds.

[If he's going to be completely growly about the gist of the matter.

As to Manjoume's school... they probably should have gotten a different Headmaster, considering all the shit that happened on Chancellor Samejima's watch.]

[thundercrashes]

[To be fair to Samejima, I'm not entirely sure how anyone could have stopped what happened in Seasons 3 and 4 of GX........]

Given that they have essentially kidnapped us to fight their battles for them, I have to admit that I can't help but think that they probably see us expendable: save the good shit for themselves, and if we die because of it, then just bring in a replacement from elsewhere.

[blastedass]

["Y'all graduate early. Ha ha!" But no, fair point. The Sacred Beasts were Season 1, the Society of Light was Season 2, and Yubel + King + Darkness was Season 4... What was Season 3's big thing? I forget.]

They wouldn't invest this much into something expendable.

[As much as he dislikes LILITH, the accommodations they've made, the upgrades they offer (even if dubious), the comforts they've at least tried to give, the relative freedom they've provided, the medical staff, and more, LILITH has done a lot for mercenaries that should be considered merely "expendable" at best.] Text
