[It's a rare occasion to see Lucy actually making her own broadcast on the network. From the look of the background, she appears to be sitting in the lobby of one of the hospitals.]
It's Lucy, if you're wondering which one of us is speaking now. I understand we have some healers in our midst, so I want more advice about healing wounds, even if it's through magical means of doing so, since I'm not sure whether my vectors' way of healing would fall into the science or magic category, or both. I didn't even know I could heal others until a few months ago, and the first time I did it was by accident. I'm more used to tearing things apart, not mending them together.
[It's said in a matter-of-fact way. She wasn't going to deny that she was more of a fighter than a healer.]
That's why I'm volunteering with the hospital, and considering recent events, it's probably best I learn as much as I can now before shit hits the fan again.

I can heal. I never really thought about it much but in those terms it would be magic based.

[That's how her vectors work, at least.]
Or do you actually have to focus energy somewhere? Or something entirely different? I'm not an expert on how magic works since it didn't really exist in my world, or at least, I didn't believe in it.

[And still something of a problem considering they've yet to solve the whole imbalance issue.]

[But all joking aside--]
So, your healing... What sort of things have you fixed up with it? Broken bones? Bloody wounds? Damaged organs?
[At least, that's what Lucy imagines her vectors being able to deal with.]
no subject
[That was amusing, though.]
All of that, yes. I can't save someone from fatal injuries, though. That's a bit too much for me.

Trust me, there are times I wish I could be that strong...

[Memories of holding a dying Aiko in her arms flash through Lucy's mind. She has to shake her head to rid of them, bringing a small pause.]
I don't really know what my limits are yet, let alone how exactly my healing works. But what bothers me most is how I can't figure out why I didn't have access to it before. I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the moons in this place, though. There were no cycles happening when I discovered my healing ability.
I mean, are healing powers something you're born with, or something you learn later?
no subject
It depends, honestly. Someone who is deeply in tune with water and becomes an Elementalist will generally have a fairly good handle on basic healing skills from the get go and can train them further if they so wish. The same with some Guardians. I, however, started as Ranger which is not a particularly magically inclined profession. We're more about pet training and long range skills.
But I wound up lost in the Maguuma Jungle several years ago. I lost two of my weapons, was injured and pinned down by Mordrem. That area was very close to a lot of magical ley lines - the source of magic for all of Tyria - and I guess something awoke in me there. I was able to call on that power and started using the abilities of the ancient Druids.
no subject
Druids... I think I saw something about them in a book when I was a kid. The druids in my world are probably different from yours, though. Same with people who are said to be "in tune" with certain elements. In my world, it's mostly just people stating their favorite one. We don't actually have anyone who can manipulate elements with magic, or at least none that I know of, since technically, according to the "accepted science" of my world, I shouldn't exist or possess the powers that I have, but I do.
no subject
It's a little freaky.
[A blink, head tilting slightly.]
What powers? It seems to me that science can't really explain away everything, especially if you have something they can't explain.
