Open and backdated to the 16th!

[The post is open to both Seelie and Unseelie, only because Pod hasn't figured out locking yet (or, honestly, think it necessary). Pod appears on the lockets, surrounded by linen strips that she's rolling into tight rolls.]

I have been hard at work to make things for the army heading out. Wound wash and liniments and bandages, but all my work does not make enough. Not a job for one, this, so I thought, perhaps, that there might be others that would like to lend their time to the task and work with me.

I am also running low on some herbs I need. I would be most grateful if someone knew where else to find them in winter.

[She smiles and bows her head.]

If someone would like to join me, I am in one of the rooms in Caer Glaem that seem set aside for tasks such as these and can send directions. Or if someone would like to stop by and help by delivering them to those in need, that would also be a fine thing.

((ooc: there is indeed a log for those who want to help. and let's pretend this wasn't hideously late.))

[Man, why is everyone who looks even remotely her age always seelie? Lumina might be a bit grumbly as she appears.]

Sooo...you're working really hard, but not hard enough, and want people to make you work harder?

[Because that sounds dumb to the chaos child.]

Then you should've told some of them you didn't want to help. [Obviously.]

I mean, making bandages sounds really boring.
chaoticwhimsy: (Oh so coy.)

Tedious. Which is a fancy way of sayiiiiiiing...boring. [Lumina giggles.]

What's wrong with a lie? You'd have less to do.

I wish I could help, but I just don't think I can spare the time. Do you know when the army is planning to leave?

Oh, I see. I wish I had something useful I could offer you, but I'm really pretty much rubbish at that sort of thing. Although, you might want to talk to Hermione, but I'm not too sure where she's based out of at the moment. I know she makes a fine salve.

[Victoria still trusts the lockets not at all, but curiosity overcomes her distrust, eventually. Without introduction or preamble:]

What's in your wound wash? Is it a standard antibiotic, or does it have other properties too?

[You can take the doctor out of the lab, but not the demanding nosiness out of the doctor, evidently.]
noonedies: (I ain't got no dollar signs in my eyes)

[Victoria appears to be jotting down some notes as Pod speaks.]

Antibiotics. They're medicine that... wait, we're going to have to back up to germ theory, aren't we? Okay, there are different things that make a person sick, and one of them is tiny organisms that you can't see with the naked eye. Cleaning a wound helps get rid of them, that's why it can prevent infection. Antibiotics are a more powerful and effective way to do that.

[For all she can get impatient in some contexts, Victoria likes offering this kind of explanation. And she's still feeling out the level of medical knowledge available here.]
noonedies: (what is he doing)

[She considers a moment.]

While not strictly accurate, poison comes close enough to the idea, yes. They either kill the organisms that are there or stop new ones from taking hold.

But most antibiotics aren't herbs, at least not at home. The first ones were cultured from molds or fungus, but today you can get more control by making them synthetically. Putting them together in a lab, something like following a recipe. Or at least, that's how it was done at home. I doubt there are enough chemists or enough materials to do much here, based on what I've seen so far.

You have certainly been busy, Lady Pod. I think me this sort of work is one far better suited to me, if you mind not the company.

[ He can't help but beam back at her, her joy infectious ]

I do not - my Lady Eowyn had was learning such things, now that the time of the sword was over, and I would often sit beside her in my free time. I cannot promise I will be any good! But at the least I will be glad to give you company.

Well, that much I can certainly do! And tis true that any task goes the swifter for willing hands to do the work.

[ he chuckles [ Well! I do not know if your Kiga will heed me, but I can certainly try and keep him distracted. I will see you soon, then!
