WEEK 4

[killerwaves]

WEEK FOUR

24 Vacationers

What started with a week promising relaxation turned into something else entirely. It might be nice to try to grab a quiet moment after the whirlwind of the weekend, but there's something to be said about keeping up the momentum too.The island open to you this week, Dodo's Outlook, seems to have that in mind, or at the very least, keeping your mind occupied. All damage to the island buildings has been fixed by Monday morning at least, but noticeably there are less palm trees than before where the damage was the heaviest. Explorers too will find that the area behind the waterfall has been completely sealed off with solid rock.

Whether you're the type to commune with the nature of marine life in the aquarium, the cosmos in the planetarium, or to spin your own tale in the theater, there's plenty to do and enjoy. As always there's task to complete too, and after all you've been through by now, what's a little more bonding in the pursuit of prizes?

[well, dehydration could potentially be from blood loss or the alcohol consumption, though those don’t rule out that it could a sign of whatever potential poisoning this is as well.

How’s his heart rate? Baizhu is going to get cozy and listen to his lungs too, might as well double check before he tries less mundane options.]

[killerwaves]

[Always a good idea to get right up in there when the patient isn’t a corpse! His heart rate is fast and his poor lungs are in about as bad a shape as you’d expect for somebody who’s been continuously coughing up blood.]

[solutionary]

[ah, intrapulmonary bleeding, something Baizhu is intimately familiar with. Sucks bro.

Other attempts at magically healing made it worse from what he was told, but perhaps the next course of action would be a slow application of Dendro, and seeing if that was agreeable? Or it could give Baizhu a better idea on what to check next at least. He obviously doesn’t exactly have his whole pharmacy here to work with.]

[killerwaves]

[Sucks to suck, indeed.

The smallest applications of Dendro healing won't return too much effect, but he'll notice that the healing itself is less than it should be. This is true for all applications of healing, and by the time he ramps up a bit more, the nosebleed will start again, slow or abruptly depending on how fast he's increasing the magic.]

[solutionary]

[Hm. Bad. Okay, let’s definitely stop that for now.

So all/most healing on the lungs causes increased bleeding, and it’s proportional to how much is applied… It was also harder than usual to apply, even taking into account that it’s slower in this place than home.

Dehydration, no fever, pallor, tremors, high heart rate, trouble breathing… and there’s no sign of injections, or powder/residue along his eyes/nostrils/mouth? Nothing on his clothes, in his shoes? An aerosol could easily target the lungs…

He might get a little handsy WWX but when all else fails!!! It’s time to be thorough.]

[killerwaves]

[ No sign of injections, or powder/residue along his eyes, nostrils, or mouth. Nothing in his clothes, or shoes either.

And hey, some skinship is sometimes what the Dr. ordered. Baizhu will notice since he's getting all up in there, that his tongue in addition to being black is dry and rough too. ]

[solutionary]

[Are there any other suspicious patches on Wei Wuxian, discolored, distextured, or dried out? Anything in the rest of his mouth— inner cheeks, under the tongue, roof of the mouth, back of the throat? Or is it only focused on the top?]

[killerwaves]

[ There's nothing blatantly obvious, but there is some reddening in the back of his throat that looks mildly irritated. ]

[solutionary]

[ hm. interesting, but he hasn’t learned as much as he really wished. It’s too bad Changsheng couldn’t contribute either…]

I’m going to have to recommend being monitored in case it gets worse, by me or someone else qualified enough, and to stay hydrated. Stay away from healing techniques, and potentially as much magic as possible.

[diabolizes]

[ Wow, he feels like he knows Baizhu so well now...

Anyway. Wei Wuxian nods seriously. ]

I will. I don't plan on letting anyone else heal me, especially not like this.

brief summary

[solutionary]

[As an addendum to WWX and also anyone else in the vicinity:]

I would say it's not caused by magic, but is exasperated by it. You must have ingested or more likely inhaled something orally; you have discoloration on your tongue and it is also rough textured and dry. There are other signs of dehydration, including shaking, sweating, and a general pallor.

Interestingly I found no signs of injections, cuts, or contact through the skin or other entryway into the body besides the mouth. Your lungs are currently in bad shape [the "obviously" that comes from Changsheng is brushed off] and your heartrate is very elevated, so I would take it easy for now.

[chosenwang]

[ He's just going to give a perplexed look at the results. What have you been putting in your mouth, Wei Wuxian? ]

[diabolizes]

Thanks, Baizhu.

[ Hm. What a concerning assessment. He lets out a soft sigh, coughing a couple of times before finally speaking again. ]

I'll make sure I get plenty of rest.
