WHO: Rhel and the network
WHERE: The network
WHEN: Early July
WHAT: So. Someone got a sunburn.
WARNINGS: None atm

[Rhel sounds utterly miserable when she starts this recording.]

Ah--what tonics or creams are used here for sunburn? It seems the lotions available here aren't strong enough or otherwise not meant for someone quite as pale as I am.

[Ow.]

And if someone could tell me where one might purchase a decent parasol, that would be likewise appreciated.

[Elliot texts a list of heavy duty sunscreens]

Here, these are the brands I use. Hopefully they'll be enough to prevent more sunburn.

[He is a ginger he knows the threat of the sun well]

Thank you. I'd asked the al--er, pharmacist what was recommended and...it did not help. At all. I think they thought I was exaggerating.

Yeah, I think they mean well but don't always understand how much some people burn.

Let me know if it helps!

Oh no, are you already sunburned? You should try some aloe vera, it's really soothing!

I'd also heard cat licks can be helpful? I know that sounds weird, but I'd heard that!

[Read it. On the internet. He's too gullible. At least the aloe vera advice is accurate!!]

Aloe vera, understood.

[. . .]

Why...cat licks?

The thing I read said there's healing properties in their saliva?

I see.

[Well. Hm. Rhel turns on the video for a moment to reveal that she is, in fact, a catwoman. Who is currently a painful shade of purple-red.]

Unfortunately, I don't think that's true at all. Perhaps their tongues would feel nice, but...well...

[It seems only polite to match format which is why Rhel gets to actually see Yoosung's surprised face.]

Ah! Are you really a catgirl? --Oh, you're really sunburned too, I'm sorry...

[There's genuine sympathy there.]

[Wait. He's having a thought. It's probably not a good one. At least he looks appropriately embarrassed as he asks it.]

....Have you maybe tried licking yourself?

[Just. Just a Look that may or may not be disappointed mom/teacher. Obviously this guy's never dealt with catpeople so she's just Disappointed.]

I am more woman than cat, you know.

[Oh god not the Disappointed Mom Stare. He just moved out of his house and got his own apartment and managed to escape the Disappointed Mom Stare!

.... he's aware now though that that's totally fair, he deserves that, sorry Rhel.]

R-right! Sorry!! Sorry about that. I've never met... Um, I just thought maybe it would help... B-but the aloe definitely will!!

Most people here have never spoken to a Miqo'te, so I'm not offended.

[But yeah you deserved that look.]

I'm glad you're not offended! I didn't mean to be offensive. I've never heard of Miqo'te before.

[He makes sure to copy the way she pronounces it.]

Have you always lived around here?

No, I arrived here in...February? I think. A few months ago--I think the term people are using is "isekai"?

Ah, I've heard that term before! Um, usually for anime and stuff though, not usually for people...

It means you came from another world, right? A world where there are Miqo'te?

[This time when he copies her pronunciation, he accidentally... Manages to exactly copy her voice as well. And looks very startled after having done so.]

[!!]

Did you just copy my voice?

Ah, I think so? I didn't do it on purpose, though. I didn't even know I could do that!

A new power then?

[Hm...]

Try to say "Eorzea".

[The first time he repeats it, it's his own voice but carefully copying her pronunciation. The second time comes quickly after and that one is her exact voice and tone as he repeats just the word.]

"Eorzea"... "Eorzea"... Ah!!

"Try to say Eorzea."

[The whole sentence he copies also matches her voice and tone.

After the initial surprise, he looks pleased to have discovered a new skill he didn't even know he had.]

That's fascinating. And you didn't know you could do this?

I had no idea! I was just trying to make sure I copied the way it sounded right and suddenly your voice was coming out. It's never happened before! That's so cool, I have a superpower!

[He's so giddy, his smile is blinding.]

[He's adorable.]

If you'd like practice, see if there are any limitations to it, I'd be happy to help if I can.

Thanks! Just a month ago I was really surprised when my eyes turned purple, and now all this other stuff has been happening... People arriving from different worlds? I had no idea things like this were real, I feel like I'm in a video game!

Since nobody's answered the parasol part yet, here!

[And there's some incoming links for a variety of parasols.]

Thank you. I had a few back home but obviously they didn't come with me.

Aloe vera should help soothe the burns, though it can also help to spread some yogurt over them - it creates a seal so they won't be aggravated by the air. Over the counter painkillers can relieve the pain but won't do much for the burn itself. For the future, find a sunblock - not suntan lotion or tanning oil - with the highest SPF number you can find. If you're particularly fair-skinned you'll want 60 or higher, and definitely nothing below 30, but the higher the better.

If the burns are too bad, I can come find you, too. I've healed sunburns often enough.

The highest "SPF" I could find was a sixty, though Elliot's suggested a few brands for next time. But--heal? Are you a healer?

Sixty is the highest that's easy to find, but unfortunately it's not really enough for an increasing number of people. It's easy to underestimate the sun, isn't it? And yes, I am a healer.

I have a specially formulated sun lotion that the alchemists in Ul'dah taught me to make so I would always have some on hand. Unfortunately, I have no idea if anything here can be used to make it instead.

[So.]

I would not be opposed to some healing, if you don't mind.

Hmm... I'm not much of a naturalist, but maybe we can do some research to see what substitutes there might be?

Alright. Where shall I come find you?

The Zodiac apartments, unfortunately.

[She wants to be out of them so badly.]

I think I got a parasol or two here. Condition unclear, though. And some recommendations for sunscreen.

[ Eda is very pale herself, so... she needs the protection. ]

I will take any and all, to be frank. I haven't been this badly burned since I moved to the desert.

Alright, here we go!

[ She texts a list of sunscreen recommendations. ]

Stop by the Owlery and I'll see what I can find for you.

Are you open right now? I can be there shortly if you are.

Yep! We're open Mondays through Saturdays from 10 AM to 6 PM.

Then I will be there shortly.

[As soon as she finds a hat and a loose enough dress because fuck all of this sunburn.

Sure enough, Rhel makes her way to the Owlery as carefully as she can, wincing just a little when she nudges the door open.]
