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.]

i know someone who can get you out of that if it happens.

[since bakugo has been under "house arrest" -- or more room arrest -- once before. thanks for the escape, fushiguro.]

uh-huh. i'll let them know we're going; i'm not asking permission if we can.

[1797]

really? noted
that would be hilarious, actually

[ofc ren would think an escape like that would be 1) cool and 2) very funny. excellent reason to feel smug.]

i like it
oh, and i'll see if i can find any useful maps

[might as well see if his job as a cartographer comes in clutch.]

[blastedass]

next time i'm gonna blow down the fucking door even if i have to take the wall with it!

[though he HAD blasted both door and window for some time and nothing happened, so that was... disconcerting.]

maps? if you do, scan them or download them and we'll pass them out before we head out.

[that's very helpful, ren.]

[1797]

what makes you think it's going to work this time?

[yeah, ren is assuming he tried already because he can't imagine bakugo calmly hung out in his room for a few days.]

will do
most of the newer maps are already digital
i don't know how helpful older ones will be, but maybe one will have something a satellite can't pick up

[blastedass]

i'm stronger.

[and possibly lilith decreased whatever it was that kept him there. (note this was early on and not communicated/defined well, so fudge a little.) bakugou still doesn't play synthia's stupid social games.]

the older ones show routes and paths that might be destroyed or overgrown by now. these people probably have maps for the city and nothing official about outside it.

[1797]

can't say it wouldn't be fun to see

[just some casual property damage...]

if you come by where i work sometime, you can take a look for yourself

[blastedass]

get locked in your room and find out.

[hmph. he didn't exactly want to blow up his room though...]

where's that?

[1797]

i thought you were going to hook me up with a get out of jail free card

[but he sends over the shop name and address, bc i never actually picked what the place was called... it's a small store that specializes in futuristic and retro globes and maps tho.]

[blastedass]

when the hell did i say that?

[that's an oddly specific store, ren. has anyone gone out with the sole aim of purchasing a globe? (even if globes are awesome.)

bakugo's taking down the information regardless. expect to get taunted when he shows up.]

[1797]

"i know someone who can get you out of that if it happens"?

[don't knock spinning a good globe if you've never tried it before, bakugo!

ren genuinely likes making maps, though, so this actually turned out well for him.]

[blastedass]

I SAID I KNOW SOMEONE! THAT'S IT!

[could've been a general "you" as well! still not promise... even if bakugo would help bail ren out since he's not cruel.

as long as you spin them and they come free and turn into a bouncing ball of death wrecking chaos around the city.]

[1797]

it would be for the greater good

[would it tho.

kaiju vs globe, where the globe wins.]

[blastedass]

uni hair.

[there. now you have a name.

a "name" ...

he'd rather stop an out of control globe after it smashes a swarm of kaiju for them.]

[1797]

who committed what crime to be called that?

[rip to fushiguro...]

[blastedass]

you'll see when you meet him.

[he has to live with it.

aren't you glad you're "Joker" now, ren?]
