[hello, hot pants!
after the q&a session, jiuqing can be found sitting on one of the benches in the central node, wearing an oversized meme sweater over her robes and perusing the profiles on her new smartphone. she looks up when she hears footsteps approaching, though.]
Ah, how are you doing today?

Ah, how are you doing today?
Mm. I would say "alright", but...a lot has happened.
[She's not wearing her meme sweater, sadly! Hot Pants has got the bag in one hand, though, holding it loosely at her side. She pauses for a moment, before:]
...Say. You're a doctor, are you?

...Say. You're a doctor, are you?
[well, she's immediately alert at that.]
Yes, I am. Is there something you need assistance with?
Yes, I am. Is there something you need assistance with?
[She looks to be considering something.]
I would have fixed it if it was working, but... [She's muttering to herself more, but now she's raising her voice.] Can you do stitches?

With the right supplies, I can. We'd need sterilized needles for stitching - my acupuncture needles aren't quite the right type. And clean, sturdy thread, as well.
Of course. Makes sense.
[Hm. More thinking.]
You said acupuncture? What's that?
[Hm. More thinking.]
You said acupuncture? What's that?
Hmm... well, this is simplifying it quite a bit, but in essence it's identifying parts of the body to put pressure on with needles to provide relief from certain symptoms or to identify certain illnesses.
Ah. So sort of like medicine, but using the body itself to treat? That's interesting.
Is it hard to learn, doctor?
Is it hard to learn, doctor?
Yes. Used in conjunction with herbal medicines, it's quite effective.
[she smiles]
It takes time and dedicated effort to learn, so some might find it difficult. I thought it was quite fun when I was learning it, though.

Fun, huh...
[She sniffs.]
It's good to have you around here. We need someone like you.

[hmm...]
Well, if I can be of help, I'm glad for it.

[A pause, and then...]
I have a power. An ability. That could help heal people. If you need help, and I manage to get it back...I'll provide my aid to you.

Really?
[huh! well, she doesn't know anything about magic, but she can apparently use color magic now? and they're all, like, here? so even if she doesn't know how it works she won't doubt that hot pants is telling the truth.]
That's wonderful. Thank you!

No need to thank me. We have to find our way out. I hope it won't come to anything drastic, but...
[A huff.]
Anyways. That's what I wanted to say.
[can u tell she's very good at conversation]

I hope it won't come to anything drastic, either. But I appreciate your saying it.
[she smiles]
I'll be glad to help you with any stitching you need once we get the proper supplies. I'll keep an eye out for anything we might be able to use.

...I was hurt before coming here. But I've been through worse. I'll manage.
[ma'am do not just say this]
[ma'am do not just say this]
Miss, I'm a doctor. We may not have the supplies needed for stitches right now, but depending on the exact condition of your wound there may be other treatments I can suggest until we do. It will also help me if I know what it looks like before I go looking for stitching supplies, so I know exactly how much I'll need.
It was bad enough that you came to ask me about stitches.

[YEAH MAYBE YOU HAVE A POINT BUT STILL!!!!]

I'll let you look at it. But I can't say there's much you can do right now.

There may not be. But if I get a good look at it now I'll be better prepared to take care of it once there is something that can be done about it.
