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.

( Non-IC cut to save your flists )

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 wanted to let all of you know that Kiba, Blood, Range and I made it back safely. The spider that killed Bastet and Snap is dead, along with its mate—it might have been part of the attack, too—and their babies. There was a whole nest there, but it's gone now. We came away with a few injuries, but everyone will be fine.

This doesn't bring Bastet and Snap back. I wish it did. But at least what killed them can't hurt anyone else now.

[OOC: The log hasn't wound to a close yet, but I figured they'd check in so people wouldn't get worried.]

Hakuteiken disappeared from the sphere today.

I didn't see it happen, but I've always been able to sense that he was here, even when he got lost...but now I can't.

I know not many of you were close to him, but I thought people should know.

I have a question for the fighters here, especially those who have remembered a little about their pasts. Have any of you experienced a degree of sentience from your weapons? Of any kind. I'm trying to figure out how common--or uncommon--something is. It's not a matter of huge import, but any information you can share is appreciated.

Kiba, I traded shifts with one of the other medics; his girlfriend's birthday is tonight, so I said I'd work the evening shift. So don't worry about me if I'm back late.

I had fun the other night.

If anyone comes across a memory crystal in the Wilderness, I'd be extremely appreciative if they'd be willing to sell or trade for it. I can pay. There's something very important I need to try to remember.

I'm back. If that's the right word for it? I'm very sorry to have worried people.

For the moment I'm at Kiba's, since we weren't sure what provisions I'd left at my home...so I'll be here if anyone needs me.

Has anyone else noticed that the snow looks...strange?
