Third Cup: The Price of Magic

Post office

[So Crown has ventured into the post office. He's heard of it and knows what might happen. He could end up dying if he goes in, but he needed to at least start from somewhere right? Everyone had something in this town back from home and he couldn't afford to wait for anything. But he decided to bear the weight of whatever it cost alone. He wasn't going to have someone come in with him and watch him mutilate himself. Even he wasn't that pragmatic.

It's only a few minutes and after signing the forms and receiving his magical potential back, it hits him all at once. Inside of him he felt like something had stabbed their hand into his side and raggedly broke off one of his ribs. But it's not over with just that. It feels as if another hand stabs into his side and just rips out one of his kidney's, and still as unclean as the first. He clutches his side, there's no blood but he can feel it. He just lost one of his organs.

As he stumbles out of the post office, he's just stumbling around in the streets. It's not so much the loss of the organ and the rib, but the blinding pain of having both ripped out so unceremoniously.]

Phone

[He's managed to make it home, but he's still in a lot of pain. Picking it up weakly he presses it to his ear.]

Remus...I will have to cancel our lesson today.

But if anyone has healing powers in this town, I would greatly appreciate them right now.

Well, this is Mayfield. They don't give without taking first. [sigh] Are you going to be all right?

[logic_and_magic]

Well, once I die of internal bleeding first I should come back fine...at least that is what I have been told.

[hawkeward]

Assuming you're all right with dying. I'm not, just as a general rule.

[logic_and_magic]

It is not pleasant, but I will have to deal with it. It is just something I should get used to if it happens in this town often.

[hawkeward]

Or you could keep looking for a healer. Maker knows we have enough of them in town.

[logic_and_magic]

This is precisely what this call is for. But for them to make it here on time before I fall into unconsciousness...is...looking rather...hmm...it seems the room has decided to spin a bit.
