@arachnesGossamer
Night shift nurse, always ready and willing to heal your 8ches and pains! ::::)
May8e sometime I will get to hear those fins flap flap flapping........ #vaguepost
My dear lusus has agreed to help dispose of the trolls too disfigured 8y the fire to recognize! I am eternally gr8ful for her wisdom and kindness. I will ensure they are remem8ered in our memorial garden on the hospital campus. In return, perhaps I can educ8 the more curious amongst you of the many medical applic8tions of spider's silk!!!!!!!! Leave a <3 and if we get 8 or more, I will go into further detail! ::::)
I am told the 8laze that overtook the ward within which I worked last night was cont8ined with very few lives lost. It reassures me that the lime Helpsmen who aid in the suppression of fires are so ready and a8le to assist us, 8e it during the dead of night or sometimes even during the day shift. A gr8 many of them have taken to calling me 8y Swansong, in addition to Lamplady. A 8it of a harsh ja8, 8ut I do my 8est to t8ke it in stride. Not all patients are a8le to survive their illnesses and wounds, though I wish it were not so. #lighttriadempath #swansong #ontheoriginofepithets
Another shift ending with the wailing of the condemned. I've 8een asked to head 8ack to my hive, out of consider8tion of my not-insignificant empathic a8ilities. My 8indings upon my ruined eyes are soaked through with tears, and all I can smell is ash. This puts me to mind of a gr8 catastrophe that occurred sweeps ago, when a Helpsman was discovered to 8e an impot8nt Imposter, and allowed for a pocket of natural gas to 8uild up within a coalmine. Rather than requesting aid, or even insinu8ting that he was incapa8le of clearing the gas himself, which would have covered his deficit of powers and perhaps even allowed him to retire from service, the Imposter fled the premises in shame, and a gr8 explosion ripped through the mine. My own 8lindness is attached, of course, to some of the events I have detailed here. Some of these tales are not mine to share, 8ut I thought inquiring minds may enjoy knowing a piece of forgotten 8eforan history. Also, I wanted to think a8out something other than the wails of the newly injured at work. Truly a horrendous situ8tion, and no one is certain what the cause of the conflagr8tion even was! There must 8e a way to ensure that our hospitals are designed more eleg8ntly for the needs of those poor souls who suffer within. #imposter #helpsmen #8eforanhistory #musings #empath #lighttriadempathy
I guess that is one way to solve ward overcrowding. ::::/
How could this happen again? Twice in one workcycle........
THE P8IN! THE P8IN! THE P8IN! THE P8IN! THE P8IN! THE P8IN! THE P8IN! THE P8IN!
Great googly moogly it has all gone to shit.
Lo! in that house of misery A lady with a lamp I see Pass through the glimmering gloom, And flit from room to room. #trollhenrywadsworthlongfellow
Oopsie! Knocked over my lantern again, so clumsy! Fortun8tly I have several extras to keep my patients a8le to see my reassuring smile as I ease their 8ches and pains! Unfortun8tely I fear Old Sawyer Jenkin is out of hive now. ::::(
Sometimes my eyes burn and itch, but it is fine! I know that other trolls suffer far more than me, and I am happy to assist them! It is, after all, my calling, as an empath. ::::) #empath
Time for another shift. I am so excited to feel the gr8ful smiles of my charges as I assist them with their maladies and ailments. #nurselife

I am begging you all to please take your medication.
