What if I'm a snowstorm burning?

It's come to my attention that with the recent disorganization in Edensphere, all the new arrivals may have extra trouble acclimating. Aside from learning where everything is, I think it's important to know who people are. Certainly people are capable of meeting new people on their own, but there are other considerations--for instance, if you find yourself in need of a guard but you don't know who they are, that's a problem.

Since we sometimes have downtime here at Wellspring, I decided to make a visual guide to certain people and groups in the sphere. I decided to start with the medical clinic since most people will be sick or injured at some point, and it's good to foster bonds between doctors and patients. But I hope to add more later.

I hope this is helpful and lets you recognize your friendly sphere medics. And the rest of them, too.

[ooc: Feel free to pretend the NPC medics are here, too, but PC bunnies take enough time as it is.]

To anyone still able to read their journals, this is Kazahana. Medical Island was damaged by the firestorm, but the clinic is still standing, we have supplies remaining, and there are [brief pause] surviving medics. We're treating everyone here, but there are undoubtedly other victims who need our help.

I'm asking anyone with any kind of medical skill or training to get here as fast as possible. We need all the help we can get. Those of you without training who are well enough to move, please help bring the injured here--with as few resources as we have now, we have to make this a central point of treatment.

I don't know where Cross and Lezard are, so for the moment, I'm taking charge of Medical. If you're coming here to volunteer your help, come to me right away. For the truly critically injured, also bring them to me immediately so I can try to heal them enough to stabilize, and Will after. From there on we'll just have to see.

This is secondary in importance, but it still needs to be done. If you can write, please check in here, letting us know you're still alive...and if you've witnessed deaths, we need to know that, too, so people know who to look for.

Thank you for all your help.

[ooc: a log for medical triage will go up a little later]

I want to pass on a warning--hopefully it's nothing serious, but one of the tree's large squirrels has been sighted roaming the residential areas, apparently looking for food. I caught a glimpse of it in Section 3, and one of today's patients from Section 4 reported a sighting as well. I'm not sure about the other areas. The patient was in for unrelated issues; the squirrel hasn't shown any aggression so far, but it's best to be cautious.

Those who have pets might want to make extra-sure they don't get outside. KC saw it through the window and he must have thought it was some kind of giant cat, there to challenge his domain. He puffed up so much he looked like a giant furry orange.

I'm not coming outside today. I look stupid in this dress.

And the neckline is practically indecent.

[OOC: Strikes = crossed over a couple times but legible if you try.]

So, this map thing, the one with the "trouser gnome"...if one were interested in following the instructions out of curiosity, what should she do if she has no pants?

It's a fair question.

Since we're back in the tree and somehow forced into pajamas, remember that the marketplace is back open as well. There are a couple of stalls selling slippers since some people's shoes seem to have gone as well. I like mine. Pants and a shirt are still easy to move around in and they're cute, too. I hope I can keep them.

I'm no longer in search of a memory crystal; thank you, those who offered help. And thank you, Bastet. I just hope this tells me what I want to know. I'm saving it until we get things fixed up here.
