[ Lex has been quiet for some time - busy for parts, sick for others. But the items spilling out of the mirrors this morning has stirred her out of bed, and the item she has received- well.

Well, it's worth saying something. ]

Did anyone- [ a pause, a cough; her voice is raspy from disuse ] -did anyone else get something... potentially hazardous?

[ Potentially. Ha. As Lex stares at the item in front of her, potentially seems incorrect. ]

I need to get rid of this, [ she mutters, and then the connection cuts. ]

((ooc: hi guys! my concussion is finally healing, so Lex and I are back in the swing of things! if you want to hit me up, send me a message either via pm, on plurk gadgetsandgears, or discord gadgets#7461))

...well, fuck. Even if it's in a bomb?

[ It wasn't like there was a lot of lead in the wastes, so... education sort of dropped the ball there. ]

Depends on your definition of 'worse', really.

[ WHAT IS MOOD LIGHTENING CAN SHE EAT IT ]

[ He's getting double freakout on his line, he is tryyyying, it's all fiiineee— only he's kind of... easily affected, and now joining the train ]

Because of those things your people couldn't live on the surface. Cwyld doesn't make surface uninhabitable, just dangerous.

[Whoops. Looks like someone's getting a double feedback and isn't best at keeping walls, so time to take a deep breath and calm down. Archer mentally kicks himself for not realizing sooner. He needs to stay calm and collected now for all of them.]

...let's not argue over semantics. I think we have two workable solutions so far, one with bag of holding, another with kind of spell I described. [he's trying to lighten the mood reminding that yes, they have a way to avert the worst disaster.

There's another question to reply to, tho.]

To be honest I'm not sure, Lex. My knowledge includes only power plant reactors, since it's what I've been dealing with. I can't be sure about other uses. [a sound when he runs hand through his hair.] Better to stay away from lead, both for us and those who mine and work with this metal.

[After all, lead had many different uses during the Victorian era - lead plumbing, lead paints, lead bullets and even makeup.]

[lonewanderer]

It only makes the surface uninhabitable in large doses. And only for some species. Cows were fine - I mean, they got a second head, but...

[ That sounds better than turning into a Cwyldtid, to her.

Either way, she takes a deep breath, trying to focus. ]

Mine comes from living in a post-nuclear war wasteland, [ she tells Archer with a little laugh. ] It's just kind of... a fact of life, there. Sometimes you get mildly irradiated! Or super irradiated. Actually, if I get irradiated enough now, my limbs heal.

[ the more you know ??? ]
