[A hissing, raspy voice comes over the network. He's bitter about getting shoved around by an unaffected inmate.]

That was interesting. I wonder how much of that was the...whatever that was, and how much was your own brutal natures. My own nature is hardly pure, of course, but at least I can say that I'm not prone to complete and utter loss of self control.

[Private to Dr. Caesares]

I will not need a substitute for my herbs. I found all I need in the greenhouse.

Would I be correct in assuming that with the return to my normal self, I'm no longer expected or desired in the infirmary?

[Private to Biff]

During the flood, I took some herbs from the greenhouse out of necessity. In the future, I would like to request permission to gather herbs to relieve my cough. If you'd prefer, I could also take some seeds and grow my own, though without natural sunlight I'm not sure how I could keep them for long.

If you want, I can still see if there's some drugs we have which are more effective than what you are used to. But very well. As long as the people in the gardens know you're taking them.

Not expected, but if you'd like to help... I will see what the procedure is for an unsorted inmate.

I'll make sure they know. It was during the...incident over the past few days when I gathered them, and I didn't feel secure asking for things.

Yes, I think I'd like to help.

Please make sure to talk to them about it, and keep what you have got as safe as you can. If you like, I can keep them with the medicines we have here.

I have to check with the other doctors whether that's acceptable whilst you're unsorted. I'd have to supervise you closely, though.

I'd rather keep them on my person, in case I have and unexpected fit of coughing.

Of course.

Understood. How often do you take these? Is it only in emergencies, or on a regular basis? I'll need to know in case I have to treat you anything else.

Usually once a day. Sometimes more. They work best when brewed into a tea.

Is there any other effects they have, aside from helping your cough?

Is there anything that might affect it - alcohol, other drugs?

I'd like to observe it's effects, if you'd let me.

I barely drink, though I haven't noticed any interference from the occasional glass of wine, and I've managed to avoid having anyone drug me.

...you want to observe me not coughing?

I want to use the equipment we've got to observe how much difference it makes. Then I can work out if anything we've got will work better, or if what you have works well enough.

It'll just involve taking some quick readings and observations over the course of a day or so.

I can already tell you that it works well enough.

Well enough doesn't mean that we can't find something better. Or maybe easier than having to carry a bag of herbs everywhere.

I'd just like to explore the possibilities.

I keep pouches on my belt anyway. What's one more?

I don't want to spend all my time here letting someone explore the possibilities of something they're unable to do anything about.

And what is marijuana? Someone mentioned it when I asked about herbs.

What's one less?

I don't think I'm incapable of doing anything about it.

It's a recreational drug, usually smoked. It doesn't do you any good.

I do.

Believe me, I have no intention of inhaling any sort of smoke intentionally. I was unaware that people drugged themselves for recreation.

It's an ill advised pasttime. That's mostly why I'm worried about you keeping your herbs on you - people might want to use them for other purposes.

And will you at least let me try? I think I've found a similar medicine to those herbs, and you can try both and see which works better for you.

I'd rather not get you into fights over this kind of thing.

Thank you. It might mean you get something that helps more.

I'd rather not get in a fight over my herbs myself, but I'm not going to change my habits because someone might want a bunch of herbs that taste like boiled shoe leather.

I don't doubt it, but in this kind of environment, that's quite likely to get you or other people hurt.

Because if you unduly hurt someone, you'll have to face the consequences as well as them.

I was expecting eternal torment in the Abyss when I died, to be torn apart by the talons of Takhisis over and over again, but kept aware by her dark power. What consequences should I fear?

There was a lot of loss of control going around, wasn't there.

That was the bizarrest Flood yet. Is everything in order with you, sir?

You didn't...um...see how I was during the Flood, did you?

[please say no, she's thinking.]

The greenhouse is for everyone to use. You do not need to ask my permission. But try to lend a hand if you are going to take things. Maybe help with the weeding. I am very bad at weeding.

I think you should talk to the doctors, though. About your cough. They are very good doctors.
From: [identity profile] hourglass-twin.livejournal.com
I can help out in the greenhouse. Back home I'd often grow my own herbs for such purposes.

It isn't marijuana, is it? I do not think I should allow marijuana.

It's a medicinal herb. I think you should probably ask the doctors what it's for, though. I thought it was for glaucoma, but I don't think that many Californians have bad eyesight.
