Coyote Medicine, Tuesday 5/11

It was easier to not think about the Gremlin bitey of the day before when you kept yourself busy. So Oz was hard at work doing things that hadn't been done in awhile.

Like checking out all the back stock in the storage room. Ooh, Frank Frazetta type posters.

Coyote Medicine is open.

He was not wandering; wandering implied aimlessness. Jimmy was systematically walking through the streets of the town, trying to see what businesses were open and what empty buildings seemed to be a safe place.

Apothecary shop? He decided to investigate.

Oz came out of the storage room with a few posters to put up. They may not be strictly medicinal, but hey, neither were the figurines.

He paused when he saw Jimmy. "Hey." he said. He debated pretending not to remember what happened the other day, but was pretty sure word had got around that that wasn't how it worked.

The guy from yesterday, the movie.

"This is a medicine shop?" opened Jimmy. "I've heard there is a clinic in town for medicine, and this as well," he said, asking a question with a statement.

"This one's more preventative." oz said. "Though there's some stuff that can help if you're already sick."

"What kind of items?" he asked, browsing the shelves. He blinked at the posters.

[identity profile] loyal-type.livejournal.com 2010-05-12 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
"Medicine bags, aroma therapy." He pointed out some totems and dream catchers as well.

[identity profile] squire-hand.livejournal.com 2010-05-12 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Jimmy had some passing familiarity with some of the items, albeit under different names. "You make poultices here?" he asked.

Because this was better than, say, visiting the doctor at the clinic.

"Do you have any books, with drawings and sketches, of the herbs and such? I'm not from this world, but I'd like to see if there are some familiar plants by a different name here."

Stupid botanists and their stupid naming things across languages...

[identity profile] loyal-type.livejournal.com 2010-05-12 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah." Oz nodded, going over to a section with the books. They were all about holistic medicine and Medicine Man wisdom. He hadn't looked through them much. "Might find what you want here."

[identity profile] squire-hand.livejournal.com 2010-05-12 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Jimmy spent about half an hour browsing through the books, marvelling at the beautiful sketches and paintings of herbs and plants. He picked three; he should be able to make what he needed using these as guides.

Midkemia and this planet were fairly similar.

"I'll take these," he said, holding them up.

Oz nodded and rang him up. "Not feeling well?"

[identity profile] squire-hand.livejournal.com 2010-05-13 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
"Just want to be prepared. I'm not sure how your medicines work on your world. These should work well, if the plants are the same."

Some things were not medications.

His grin did not quite reach all the way to his eyes. "I like having a plan or two. Never know what might happen."

[identity profile] loyal-type.livejournal.com 2010-05-14 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
Especially here.

"No you don't." Oz agreed. "If you really get into trouble though, the folks at the clinic know their stuff."

[identity profile] squire-hand.livejournal.com 2010-05-14 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
"I might try that. Better than a chirurgeon, perhaps."

Never know.

[identity profile] loyal-type.livejournal.com 2010-05-14 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
"I'll take your word for it." said Oz, who didn't actually know what that was.

[identity profile] squire-hand.livejournal.com 2010-05-14 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
"So how much for the three?" he asked. Ah, the lovely art of haggling.

[identity profile] loyal-type.livejournal.com 2010-05-14 01:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Oz was not unfamiliar with haggling, having traveled a bit. But he didn't pick up on the signs of it right away. He quoted the combined cover price of the items.

[identity profile] squire-hand.livejournal.com 2010-05-14 01:48 pm (UTC)(link)
James responded with a price that was significantly lower.

[identity profile] loyal-type.livejournal.com 2010-05-14 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
To which Oz thought for a moment and lowered his price a bit, but there was still room for negotiation. The boy was nothing if not adaptable.

[identity profile] squire-hand.livejournal.com 2010-05-14 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
James countered with something in the middle. A Mocker (even a former one) loves a good deal.

[identity profile] loyal-type.livejournal.com 2010-05-14 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Oz returned with a price that was about in the middle between his new price and James'.

[identity profile] squire-hand.livejournal.com 2010-05-15 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
That was acceptable. James pulled out his small pouch of gold to pay.

[identity profile] loyal-type.livejournal.com 2010-05-15 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Did that mean Oz had 'won'? He knew some people thought of this as a game.

"Pleasure doing business with you."

"I'm sure I'll be back around," he said with a grin.
