As much as I am loathe to admit it, we will have to move on from what small bits of safety and comfort this place has brought us. I do believe we should discuss our plans for the coming crossing openly. Consider this a place to drop your thoughts on the idea. Might as well start planning earlier rather than later.

Unless you have a good reason to I strongly suggest that you do not take the crossing alone. There is safety in numbers.

I would like to also get a head count of who all is with us if possible. I have heard about some of us going missing and I find this rather disturbing so I find it pertinent to double check.

The floor is open.

Indeed it did. I suppose it is politeness not to gossip about someone's injury openly, but yes, I sustained the injury during the first crossing. I've decided not to go with the Ferryman both times we've crossed, you see.

SO I SEE! AND PART OF WHAT I SEE IS MORE MYSTERIES.

YOU GOT AN INJURY THAT STUCK WITH YOU, DESPITE OUR UNUSUAL RESISTANCE TO INJURY...

AND DESPITE THE INJURY, YOU WENT THAT WAY AGAIN.
DID YOUR OTHER LEG FEEL LEFT OUT?

[This does raise the relevant point: it sounds like he only got hurt on one of the crossings. Small wonder people have been finding the gamble worthwhile.]

[marblenest]

The healing that we receive appears to me to be natural healing, just faster, for some reason. My leg was simply damaged beyond the body's ability to heal itself.

[ If he would have been able to intervene, medically, maybe there's something he could have done. Maybe. But as it is the leg wound that's only a few months old physically looks like it's a few years old. ]

Though no, I'll say, my other leg does not feel left out.

[ Because he'd be even angrier at himself and this situation if both of his legs were injured to the same degree. ]

SO IT'S ONLY NATURAL HEALING...

[He wouldn't entirely say no to a cool scar, if healing magic was an option for making sure the scar was mostly superficial. But it sounds like that comment wouldn't make leg or person feel left out, and maybe just annoyed, so instead:]

THAT'S IMPORTANT INFORMATION! AND NOW THAT WE KNOW THAT,
IS THERE ANYTHING PEOPLE CAN DO TO HELP THEIR BODIES HEAL EVEN BETTER?
SPECIAL FOODS OR SOMETHING.

I'm afraid it happens so quickly that it would be difficult to supplement the healing process with food. Months of healing happens in minutes. It's a bit bizarre to watch, truthfully.

[ Dankovsky briefly wonders what it will be like for Papyrus to heal considering he's all bone. Literally. Dankovsky would kind of like to watch that, a medical curiosity, if you will. ]

[spaghettimonster]

MONTHS OF HEALING... WOWIE.
BUT MAYBE MONTHS OF DIGESTION HAPPEN TOO. WE SHOULD TEST IT!

AND BY WE, I MEAN WHOEVER TAKES THE RISKY TRAVEL OPTION.

[He's not committing to a plan just yet. Part of the reason for testing himself with days(??) of cardiovascular activity is to build up to testing magic-less reflexes.]

[marblenest]

Months of digestion? I'm not sure how, or why, that's relevant.

[ Is this really the skeleton he picked to be his Watson??? Dankovsky's starting to regret that decision right about now. ]

[spaghettimonster]

TO MAKE THE HEALING MORE EFFECTIVE, OF COURSE!

[Surely a doctor knows that food is important to healing injuries... His phrasing about digestion (something of particular mystery to skeletons, it has to be said) must have confused the matter.]

[marblenest]

There really isn't enough time to gather food before the healing process happens. You'd have to have a dinner table full of food beforehand.

[ Why is he entertaining this, again...? ]
