how do you do fellow kids?

my name is willa and i want you all to know what if you are injured and need a hand, you're free to call me instead of 911. i know it's wonderful to have a hot firefighter scoop you up and whisk you to an ambulance, but i'm a healer so i can also do that.

i probs cannot pick you up, actually and there are some caveats. i can and will heal a paper cut, but some things should be dealt with on your own i think. it's not noble to suffer but i don't want to put band-aid out of business, they will sue me. so use your best judgement.

second, much like the genie of the lamp, i can't bring people back from the dead. i'm not jesus. but a cut, a dismemberment, a stabbing, a shark bite, or perhaps you were gored by a minotaur because you didn't knock before going to the center of the maze. i'm you girl, that's me, your man in havana. [ included here is her phone number if anyone wants to TEXT HER instead of interacting with the post and just in case. ]

thirdly, does anyone remember 2001's ben foster vehicle get over it? bc i have the big red theme song stuck in my head battling with vitamin c's cover of captain & tennille's love will keep us together.

ok bye

how so?

[infirmiere]

i like the idea of someone singing big red at the top of the lungs with everyone around them wailing for them to stop

and if it's captain & tennile then i like it even more

[torchbearer]

I actually don't think I have much of an audience which is a bummer.

[infirmiere]

disappointing

i do think singing is supposed to get the song unstuck but maybe i just heard that somewhere and its bullshit

[torchbearer]

at least it sounds like plausible bullshit.

[infirmiere]

like every remedy for hiccups

[torchbearer]

everyone swears by them but they never work when you need them too.

[infirmiere]

onion really does help hair regrowth tho! that old wives tale remedy is legit

[torchbearer]

really? onion?

[infirmiere]

yeah, onion juice

[torchbearer]

no way.

[infirmiere]

yes way

[torchbearer]

have you used it?

[infirmiere]

no, my hair is perfect because i take excellent care of it

[torchbearer]

so how did you know the onion juice works?

[infirmiere]

i'm well traveled

[torchbearer]

must be, to know even the old wives tales.

[infirmiere]

everything's got a kernel of truth, doesn't it? even old wives tales. though i am glad we've moved past leeches, i hated those

[torchbearer]

[ there it is again. ]

I mean. doesn't everyone?

[infirmiere]

doctors used to love bloodletting and at this point i think they liked the leeches more than their patients

[torchbearer]

so

are you like a time traveler. is this a doctor who situation??

[infirmiere]

did the leeches give it away?

not a time traveler, though doctor who isn't very far off. i think sydney newman stole the idea from us and i look very much like a young diana rigg so i can't discount that emma peel is based on me as well.

[torchbearer]

right.

so immortal?

[infirmiere]

more like a sisyphean cycle of constant rebirth in order to stop the end of days

[torchbearer]

so the least sexy of the time travel stories.
