Right, so-- I don't know what is going to happen to all the idiots who went to the corroded train station we were explicitly warned away from, but I believe it falls to us to save them from their own stupidity.

I would like to gather a team to provide medical aide and/or transportation-- and pray to god we won't need it though I am fairly sure we will.

For the newly arrived, Corrosion is not a game, nor something to be taken lightly. I hope we can all learn from this experience that maybe there are some rules we absolutely must obey.

Hero complex. It's always a hero complex.

My spells are still weak, but I'm strong enough to carry people if needed.

[blessedarethebookmakers]

Oh, it's general human nature. To go where they've been explicitly told not to go. To do what they've been explicitly told not to do. It was there at the beginning, it will be there at the end. I am sure that you are not even above that.

[that being said]

I'll keep you in mind. I'm not sure what will be needed just now but thank you for volunteering.

[blue_ice]

At least I avoided this disaster.

[ He harrumphs, but nods. Can't really deny it...had Atem gone, he would have too. ]

Call me if you need extra hands.

Warning?

[Someone only vaguely pays attention]

[Video]

[blessedarethebookmakers]

Apparently the train station has been closed and everyone has been asked to steer clear of it. They haven't said Corrosion, and it may well be something else entirely-- but I am fairly certain that's what it is because why else go so far as to make an announcement of this nature?

[ticoticosamba]

Well, then I am going to have to find a newer place to work from.

[Corrosion...did you have to say it so plainly, Azi?!]

And now you are going to be heroic and save them?

[strangeandunusual]

Who went? Just new people...? Hang on...

[she checks the network thread and gasps]

Beetlejuice! ... Oh no. [of course he'd think the rules didn't apply to a demon. he was on the verge of planning a revolution as it was... and she had a feeling he wouldn't accept any help from anyone but her] Yes, of course I'll help.

Voice/private

[blessedarethebookmakers]

You know him? [in a tone of one not altogether fond]

Either way, thank you. I would ask you not to come because there are only a few highly trained princesses and, for better or for worse, we are vital for any sort of success in healing this place.

However, if you could go to the hospital and inform them of a possible emergency-- Oh and do ask about effects of Corrosion. Just in case. We've met it in the wild, but if it is the case that it's infected the town and we are being warned away from it, I'm afraid it's a different sort of beast altogether.

[strangeandunusual]

Yeah, he ... It's a long story. I can tell you later, if you want. Right now I should probably get to the infirmary. I'll let you know what I find out!

[voidalviera]

[There's a pause while Rice takes the time to look back on the Network to see just what the hap is fuckening, and then-]

Oh Twelve forfend, Anthony. Why have you done this?

Sir Aziraphale, I can offer defence and if needs be I can pick people up and carry them myself.

[blessedarethebookmakers]

Er... [he glances down at Crowley, currently in snake form and out of frame.] While he is rather sinister in general, I doubt that any of this is his fault.

I appreciate the offer, my dear, and will likely take you up on it. I could use someone with upper body strength.

[borntolove]

I can help carry others. Do we know who exactly is all involved?

Video

[blessedarethebookmakers]

We won't know that until we get there. [he looks awfully familiar, though in a way Aziraphale can't place. His mind weakly offers something to do with Hamlet, but nevermind]

I appreciate the offer. Hopefully we're worrying over nothing.

[video]

[mrsbrisby]

I would like to help if I can. I have been practicing my healing.

[ Obviously she wouldn't be much force in helping to move anyone... not unless she shrunk them first. ]

[video]

[blessedarethebookmakers]

Yes, thank you, my dear. Your help would be much appreciated. I shall let you know when and where. Or, I could come pick you up-- It might be an awfully long way. [for one of her size anyway]

[princess_weia]

I wanna go help!

...But I already know you'll say 'no'. So I'm gonna go wait at the infirmary. That way I can be there to help with healing and to tell everybody what a dumb thing they did.

[Yes, on top of their injuries they get to be scolded and get the fact driven home that a kindergartner has more sense than them.]

[blessedarethebookmakers]

There are many ways to help, my dear. The best way to help is to go where you're most needed instead of where you think you ought to go. But I think you've nailed it. Helping out at the hospital and reminding them of their abject stu--foolhardiness is the best idea.

[im_a_hugger]

If you need some extra muscle, you can count me in.

How'd the train station get Corroded though? I thought this place was safe from that stuff.

[blessedarethebookmakers]

I will take you up on that and let you know where and when.

Right now it's only a guess at what might be going on. It could be nothing and we'll have worried for no reason. But I'd rather look silly than be sorry.

[smilingarmor]

Well this isn't good...

[Both that people decided to rush off and that the train station had somehow become Corroded.]

I'm afraid I'm on the other side of town at the moment, but if you're short of hands, just give me the word and I'll rush right over.

[blessedarethebookmakers]

Well, I think you might be more of a benefit at the hospital. Perhaps cook up something delicious for them or add moral support? I don't know if we'll need it yet, but be prepared.

[beancounter]

Corroded...? Oh.... oh no. I don't know any healing magic, but I'm ready to help, however I might be needed.

[strangeandunusual]

I'm going to the infirmary for Aziraphale... They might need help. You could come with me.

[hard_mode]

I'm practically a pro at pulling bacon of out fires by this point. I an help get people out, secure transportation you just let me know where you need help and I'll be there.

Do we have a list or count of all those who went in so we can be sure we get them all out again?

[blessedarethebookmakers]

We do not, unfortunately. But yes, I could use your help. Thank you for volunteering. Let's hope it's only a few and that whatever trouble they cause, they will not make things unduly worse.
