[Having only just learned how to use video on the omni, Goku's feed is a bit shaken and choppy. He's really only half visible for most of it, kind of stepping out of frame every so often because he's clearly walking. You might see some of the rolls of bread he's carrying.]

Hi ev'rybody! My name's Goku, an' my friends said that I should talk to th' network if I need help with stuff, soooo... Do we have any healers around here?? 'Cause my friend's ankle is broken but he can't heal himself 'cause it don't work like that or somethin', so I was hopin' somebody else could help him??

Oh yeah, m'also goin' around deliverin' bread for him! So if Hakkai toldja that bread's on th' way over, that's me! Goku!

Did someone already reply to help heal?

[ Especially since apparently Hakkai can't heal himself, or Goku wouldn't be asking for help like this.. And since Hakkai is usually Daniel's to-go healer, he doesn't have anything to recommend the poor thing right now. ]

There's quite a few people who can do it here. Otherwise you might have to try and get them to the Lumenarium, there are people who can help them there for sure. [ See, Goku?

It's all okay! Daniel isn't offended, he's still just calmly trying to help. ]

[Goku nods, extremely pleased with himself and his results.]

Yeah! There's a lizard-man who makes potions that'll prob'ly help! And Sharon said that people here all heal pretty quick because we're all magic squids!

[And when he talks to Sailor Moon soon, that'll be even more!

He pauses though, looking curious.]

What's a... loomy-nary-um??

It's a hospital.

[ He'll leave the rest of what Goku says alone, considering that it only sounds ridiculous when you aren't used to this place. Especially since Daniel is well aware that him being a 'magic squid' is what healed his broken back in the first place..

Wait, hold on, scratch that thought-- ]

You know what hospitals are, right?

[ It's not even that he's asking because he thinks Goku is child-like despite his age, he's more asking because the place Goku and the others come from seems to be.. strange in some ways. ]

[Goku's head tilts, eyes big and curious. Daniel's absolutely right; He's not familiar with that word.]

Hos..pital..? I never heard o' that before. Is it someplace ya take injured people to??

[ ...

God.

What is their world even like? Them not having heard of Italy is something Daniel can take, but the idea there aren't hospitals.. No wonder Hakkai's got to have that healing power to get them by instead! ]

Yeah. [ At least Goku seems to get what it is just by context. Atta, boy. Daniel's proud. ] There's people there who can help you. They know how to treat all sorts of things and make people better.

[ Usually Daniel wouldn't trust doctors in such a weird place, but.. well, they've proven before they really can get stuff done, so there's no hesitation in recommending it. ]

[His head tilts the other way, and for a second his expression remains pretty blank... And then suddenly it's like a light bulb turns on over his head.]

Oh!! So like-- like a clinic?? With doctors an' stuff??

[He looks pleased to have made this connection. They may not have hospitals where he is, and really whether that's because their world just doesn't have them as a concept or just because they're always out in the boonies is anyone's guess, but he knows what doctors are and he knows that doctors usually run clinics. Usually out of their own homes, though, and certainly not on the scale that Daniel's familiar with.]

[ Okay, at least that's better. Daniel was kind of fearing there was no medical help at all where they come from..

Which wouldn't really surprise him in the sense that it fits the way they tend to act, even if the idea of a world like that existing somewhere out there is still way too wild for Daniel. ]

Yeah, like that. But bigger. [ A whole lot bigger. Daniel kind of wonders if Goku is ready for that, but on the other hand, he'd probably have to bring Hakkai along since he's the injured party here.. which would probably make it okay. Hakkai can handle it. ] If you go to the Lumenwood district, you'll see it right away. It's a huge building. They also have a lantern there, so you can get there easily.

[ You know, since walking with a broken ankle isn't exactly ideal. ]

Huge building...???

[Goku kind of gapes for a second. A huge building all for doctors? It sounds so fancy to him. There are already so many buildings around here that are taller than what he's used to. He's genuinely imagining a place that stretches all the way up into the sky.]

Whoooaaa!! An' it's all just for doctors ta help injured people?! An' there's more'n one doctor?!?

[MIND BLOWN.]

[ Daniel can't hold back a laugh - it spills right out. ]

Yes, both of those things are absolutely right.

[ The things Goku can get amused about.. Is it any wonder that Daniel thought he was a kid at first, and that even now it's kind of hard to not see him as one? He acts exactly like the teenagers Daniel teaches. ]

Though you might be one of the only people to get this excited about hospitals.

Whhoooooaaaaaa...

[His little monkey brain cannot comprehend this level of medical competence. Where he's from, people who get too sick or too injured just end up dying and that's that. If there was no real clinic in the town or village, no one with some medical knowledge or a magic healing ability of some kind, then the only thing people could do was pray and hope a benevolent god answered them. The idea that people could just be brought to a big building full of doctors to take care of them?? That's wild.

But then Daniel has to go and call him out, and his face flushes slightly in embarrassment.]

I-- I'm not excited! I just- I never heard o' nothin' like that before... It sounds like a real good place ta have around, that's all! An' since there's one here, then- then that's super helpful!

Hey, hey, don't worry!

[ Daniel knows when to not take teasing too far, okay.

.. he usually does, anyway. Right now is one of those moments, since he puts his hands up as if to pacify Goku, letting out a hearty, but sweet laugh. ]

It's fine to get excited about it if it's something you've never seen before. God knows I've seen so many things here that were completely new to me as well. [ So many.. Though mostly not good ones, so-- ] Better to have new things you can get excited about than new things you'd just dread, yeah?

[He still looks a little embarrassed, thumbing at his nose while his shoulders sag a little in relief. Daniel makes a good point, and it's not like Goku has much ability to argue it, but he's still in the middle of letting that embarrassment flush out of his system.]

Yeah... Yeah, I- I guess so.

[He even nods a little, like he's just reaffirming what's been said to himself.]

A-An' since things get pretty crazy around here, it's good t'know there's a place ta go to if somethin' happens, right??
