[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.]

I know that aloe vera plants works on burns, I can identify those, but I'm not sure about pain relief methods for things like surgery recovery. I can offer knowledge on the use of hot and cold to lessen lesser pain from swelling in reference to it maybe.

What brought this on, Bakugo?

[An injustice, yes, obviously, but something had it on the man's mind.]

@duke, text

[frostfist]

You really did it.

[ not that he thought Bakugo wouldn't, but that sure was speedy ]

We use magic to numb severe pain where I'm from, but I know there are some gases that if you breath them in, you loose a lot of your sensation to touch.

[blastedass]

If you find aloe, grab it. But they aren't going to let you into the damn operating room to ice over shit.

They don't even let people with the healing implant in there until it's done.

[As for the last part-]

Fucking sick of it. That's all.

[blastedass]

You think I'm a damn liar?

[He said he would.]

[blastedass]

Yeah, anesthesia in vapor form is one of those where I'm from. But we'd need to find a way to make it here.

Like that damn half-n-half bastard up there, they're not gonna let you into the surgery room to use your magic.

[likemybooks]

I know my way around a chemistry set. If we can find some supplies, I could try brewing some in my room.

I doubt they'll let me bring it to the operating table, but it could help after the surgery.

[blastedass]

What supplies do you need?

The point's to make shit they will use on the operating table! We've got plenty of damn healers once they're off.

[likemybooks]

I think the first step is to get ourselves involved with the operation. If we don't know for sure that they'll accept what we give them, it's all for nothing.

But I need some glass containers. Some containers to hold gas. Beakers and all that. The chemicals are another issue. I'll have to see if it's something readily available.

[blastedass]

WE'RE ALREADY INVOLVED, IDIOT!!

IF WE MAKE A LOCAL ANESTHETIC, I'LL CRAM IT UP THAT CAT'S ASS UNTIL HE USES IT!!

[There's a visual image.]

Don't count on using anything in the hospitals. Are any of the chemicals you need naturally farmed?

[likemybooks]

I mean I guess?
Do you mean that literally?

[He can never tell with some people.]

They can be mined. Usually in desert areas of my world.

[blastedass]

IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES TO STOP TREATING IT LIKE A DAMN TORTURE CHAMBER!!

[He's angry enough to threaten it.]

Get a list of the rocks or minerals if you can.

[frostfist]

Not at all. Merely impressed with your speed.

[ we respect a go-getter in this house ]

More seriously, while I don't know much about anesthesia and painkillers, I'll do what I can in asking around and looking up information.

[blastedass]

I'm not gonna tell people to do shit I wouldn't do myself.

[If it's, you know, useful.]

If we can compile a list of ingredients, plant or mineral or even medical, we can use that to streamline a search.

@pochita

[nutkick]

are you okay?

[ he didn't read that long wall of text. does he need to do something or you're just smart-talking with other people, kacchan? ]

[frostfist]

We'll need a place to work. I can see if I can find a location off-base.

[blastedass]

Apparently secret labs do well under theme parks.

[blastedass]

[pain bad. medicine good. people don't give medicine. fuck them.]

i'm fine. just pissed.

[frostfist]

You're not worried about LILITH keeping tabs on the labs there? Though I suppose the park's plenty big to find a different underground lab of our own.

[blastedass]

Hell no! I want them to watch.

Maybe they'll get the bright fucking idea isn't not that damn hard and they should've been doing this shit all along while we've been training and doing their other dirty work.

[He was being petty and mocking with the theme park reference. But it's not a bad idea? Just he doubts underground is a suitable place for growing plants. Though there are a shit-ton of flower beds and grassy areas above ground for planting and cultivation...]

[nutkick]

[ hmm. seems like he's pissed off for real, and not just a 💥 personality 💥 quirk. ]

what can i do to help?

[blastedass]

[oy...]

how much do you know about painkillers?

[he'll walk you through it.]

[nutkick]

they're supposed to make you feel good.

[ yeah, he never had one. eventually, he starts reading through that long ass post, bored at first, and then- ]

huh? you're leaving the city?!

[frostfist]

I think it'll take a little more than that for them to care, honestly. Maybe if you yell a little louder, they'll finally hear you.

[ he's mostly kidding. ]

[blastedass]

I already blew up the fucking immigration office lobby for fucking with me.

[Don't think he won't pop a few off in the hospital if it means forcing the medics to take the anesthetics for other Outsiders' surgery.]
