    Frontier Town Drungfield's Remedies

    Lucien sighed, and wiped his brow with a wingtip. "Not many names I'd expect you'd know. Well-to-do gentle 'mon from the east side, for the most part. And that one fellow with the propensity for great alarm..." "Dayle," provided Drungfield, sounding like she was announcing a patient's time of...

    Frontier Town Drungfield's Remedies

    Lucien's mask sloughed away once again, although only after he'd taken a minute to fully absorb what had been said. It may have helped that Drungfield slipped him a persim berry on the sly while she spoke up first... "I'll look into the guards on the grounds that Shadow corruption is a medical...

    Frontier Town Drungfield's Remedies

    Lucien looked stricken at Wes's, then Steven's, words about his father. Drungfield's eyes shot to him, as if she expected such a reaction. "I have... recently become aware of the depths of my father's misdealings," said Lucien, his voice quavering a little. Sometimes it was suddenly quite...

    Frontier Town Drungfield's Remedies

    Drungfield put her paw to her mouth as she watched the Wayfarers' reactions and interactions. At times, some had wondered if her psychic abilities were capable of reading minds, or at least perceiving hidden truths in people's responses. Was she trying to spot deceit...? Lucien pressed his...

    Frontier Town Drungfield's Remedies

    "Hmm." Drungfield's spectacles flashed as she inclined her head up. Was she skeptical of the Wayfarers' evasive account...? Lucien's face was less masked than usual. More emotive. Presently, the emotion it was showing was concern. "This Lycanroc, you're saying he's a, a vagrant? Without...

    Frontier Town Drungfield's Remedies

    Lucien shook his head gravely. "Zoroark are rare in civilised parts, you know. I look at this case and wonder if people will say to each other that of course it makes sense that a Zoroark should do such a thing, having the powers that they do, and ask themselves if other Zoroark do just the...

    Threadmarks: [Ch04] ~ Candour and a Cadaver

    The body lay under a white covering. Not too clean, but not filthy. Practical, affordable, but respectful to the dead. Even if the dead had it coming. Lucien adjusted his sash, looking a little pale. "How, uh—?" "A few days," replied Drungfield, stiffly. "I couldn't say precisely how many...

    Frontier Town Drungfield's Remedies

    "Glad to hear it." Drungfield gave Wes a stiff nod, which from her was most certainly a gesture of modest approval. "And, mm, good luck with looking for mechanistic work, or whathaveyou," she said as she returned to her reading, adjusting her glasses again. "...It was nice meeting you, Wes."...

    Frontier Town Drungfield's Remedies

    Drungfield read over her book as Wes thought, and sniffed with what might have been amusement at his comment on Lucien. "Mechanic?" she said, looking up again. "You're a mechanic, son? We've got a lot of demand for those, as it happens. Not a lot of expertise this far west, but plenty of modern...

    "Mm? Ah, right. You were one of the late arrivals." The thin smile again. Drungfield sat back down at her desk and reached for her book as she spoke. "Prinplup Lucien is the town marshal, and the mayor's son. He's putting up the credit for all you newcomers to stay at the Haus for a few...

    Frontier Town Drungfield's Remedies

    The indeedee scoffed, and raised a brow. "No, and you won't be any use on my errands until you recover. Or if you strangers wind up getting kicked out of the Haus for being freeloaders or suspicious types. Lucien's word is good, as is his credit, but he's not the mayor round here. Best you pay...

    Frontier Town Drungfield's Remedies

    The Doc looked as if she was about to scold Wes, then thought better of it. Then he asked about dungeons, and her train of thought changed track. She cleared her throat. "I always figured mystery dungeons were a global phenomenon... maybe you know them by some other name. They're also called...

    Frontier Town Drungfield's Remedies

    Drungfield leaned against her desk, favouring one leg. "If you've got no other particular skills, the least you can do is deliver prescriptions, fetch supplies from Main Street, and help me prepare treatments. But if those scraps that keep finding you have made you any use in a tough spot, what...

    Frontier Town Drungfield's Remedies

    Drungfield sniffed, and that thin smile returned. "You have mettle enough, son. You'll be right as rain within a day or two, with youth on your side, and run errands once you're better." She eyed the sprain again, and pushed up her spectacles. "Best avoid scraps for a few days further...

    Frontier Town Drungfield's Remedies

    Drungfield's eyes narrowed, but she didn't raise an objection. At length, having poked and prodded at Wes' leg enough, she stepped back. "Well, I can hardly blame you for this mishap, if what you're saying is true. I saw a 'mon appear out of thin air yesterday, so who am I to doubt such an...

    "Good." The doc nimbly went to work prying off the makeshift brace. "We had a dozen like you arrive in town out of the clear blue yesterday afternoon. You can read about it in the Gazette. Apparently there are still more we're to expect. Hold still." Drungfield set about squeezing different...

    Drungfield sniffed, and stared Wes down a moment. She was psychic – did that mean she could read minds? "Sprain, is it?" she said at last, just as Wes' thoughts were turning towards fleeing. "I'd better take a closer look. Hop up on the table behind me." The doc put her book down and beckoned...

    Frontier Town Drungfield's Remedies

    The Doc lowered her book and raised a brow. It was hard to read her expression. She'd looked at least as disapproving of whatever it was she'd been reading. "Well?" she barked. "You got an injury or an ailment, son?" She eyed him up and down, put her book aside, and pressed a digit to her...

    Frontier Town Drungfield's Remedies

    Frontier Town had its fair share of quacks and snake oil merchants, but it had one credible GP, and they said that if the reaper came for you while in her care, they wouldn't take you without a fight. The indeedee doctor, who gave her name as Drungfield, ran a small practice succinctly titled...
