3rd Death

[he's...very hesitent to use the network on his own right now since a few people said he shouldn't ~~and he wasn't smart enough to realize they had been messing with him~~ but he wanted to know if everyone was okay. Dextera didn't know a lot of people in this tower, but getting hurt was always a bad thing.

with that in mind, the mute sends out a quick text.]

Is everyone okay? Not hurt badly?

[and then he types out something else, a little slower than his previous message.]

Is it okay to ask if that's happened before?

nø øne cares iif yøu just make søme pøst øn the netwørk.
thøugh iif yøure really cøncerned abøut the iinjured, prø tiip: check øut the iinfiirmary.

[Sollux cannot answer the question about this happening before, because he's still an ickle newbie, so he ignores it outright.]

Okay, I'll go check. Thank you.

[he seems to have missed the tone. but he doesn't mind his second question not being answered. he'll fine out eventually.]

what, dø yøu have fiirst aid skiills ør sømethiing?

A little. Not big things, but I though I could help a little.

iits an iinfiirmary. they have a bunch øf guys traiined better iin that sørt øf thiing.
the best yøu can høpe før iis prøbably møral suppørt.

[What a nice guy.]

[he's...taking it as a nice way! ...sort of.]

'Moral support'? [he hasnt' heard those words before.]

standiing arøund.
nøt døiing anythiing useful, just talkiing tø the patiient tø diistract them.
ii dunnø, ii døn't usually gø iintø høspiitals.

It sounds like a nice thing to do. Maybe I'll try it. Thank you.

[... What.]

wøuldn't yøu rather dø sømethiing useful?
ii mean, anyøne can siit by the bed and talk untiil iits øver.

But you said there were better people than me. Unless there's something else I can do?

why wøuld yøu even bøther?

I can fix myself but I'm not sure if anyone else can. So I want to help. [or try to, at least.]

that makes absølutely nø sense.

[right, he forgot.]

My body heals itself, so I'm fine. But I'm not sure everyone else can do the same thing. So I want to try and help and make sure they're healed too.

[does that sound about right?]

why dø yøu knøw healiing iif yøur bødy heals iitself?

[It couldn't possibly be that he wants to heal others, of course. That would require not being a huge selfish dickwad.]

It's slow. [and...doesn't work if something decided to start cutting limbs off.] And I thought if someone back home was hurt I could help them too.

[because helping people eased that guilt a little. it wouldn't make up for all he did, but it was something.]

diid yøu liive wiith a bunch øf peøple whø gøt themselves hurt øften?

[...how to be vauge while being honest...?]

A lot of people back home are hurt, so I'm trying to help them.

huh.
høw successful iis that før yøu?

It's slow, but I think it's okay so far. Things will get better soon.

[he really hopes so anyways.]

well, hate tø burst yøur bubble, but they're nøt gønna get better nøw.
iif that thiing abøut the wørlds beiing destrøyed iis true, øf cøurse.

I don't think they destroyed it. It already was.

yeah, same.
sø ii guess we'll fiigure that øne øut when the tiime cømes.
