Oh yes, you very well may need an operation. But you'd have to see a doctor first before they send you into the theatre.

I don't believe it really is, though. But they probably shouldn't do it again.

[theheroics]

they promise to never ever do it ever again

they wont even look at snow

[ Like. Ever. ]

so should i let you know doc if it gets worse?

[herlockian]

Why? Do they always eat snow when they see it?

You could. Or I think there's a clinic in town. They're probably better equipped than I.

[She's not actually a practicing doctor, but she sure got that degree anyway.]

[theheroics]

believe it or not i dont try to put everything i see in my mouth

[ He promises!! He's only a puppy in name alone! ]

yeah... yeah ur right. ill go see them if it gets worse

[herlockian]

Oh, so it was you who ate it.

I think that would be the best plan. It should pass normally, though.

[theheroics]

[ !!! ]

okay but you cant go around telling everyone about this okay?

[ this is public. he's doomed. ]

gotcha. thanks again doc i really mean it

[herlockian]

Of course not. Doctors aren't allowed to share information on their patients in most cases. It's one of the oldest rules of the profession!

[Although she knows that it's public too, but hey, a little lesson can't hurt.]

You're welcome! No one's called me "doc" before.

[theheroics]

no one? but isnt that what you are?

[herlockian]

Yes, but I'm not really practising. Most people aren't that comfortable being diagnosed my someone by age. It does leave me plenty of time to do other things, however!

[theheroics]

well i cant tell your age from this journal, only that youve got some really great advice. you even sound "doctory" to me so ill take it

[herlockian]

Thank you! I do realize you can't see me. For what it's worth, I finally turned 10 last year!

[theheroics]

[theheroics]

you turned how old!?

[herlockian]

10. I suppose I should start looking forward to turning 11 later this year!

[theheroics]

so i really did read that right. you are actually 10

guess that makes you pretty smart huh?

[herlockian]

That's right! "Genius" is the word people typically go with.

[theheroics]

well call me impressed! guess age isnt everything huh?

really proud of you n all. you could say im a bit of a prodigy myself.

[herlockian]

Aww, thank you, Zackie!

Really? At what?

[theheroics]

zackie!?

[ THAT NICKNAME.............. ]

no no. just zack is fine! and wouldnt you like to know that youre speaking to a genuine hero! or close enough.

fast. strong. whatever you think a hero should be? thats me

[herlockian]

[Bad news, she nicknames everyone. Everyone. And is controlled by someone canonblind who has no idea if that's already a Thing so she'll go with what she likes.]

Oh? Well, when I think of heroes, they usually wouldn't want to eat glitter.

[theheroics]

i swear i didnt do it on purpose. youve gotta believe me

[herlockian]

Honestly Hurley's eaten worse on purpose, so it's really not that bad. You won't end up ill on the floor from what you've ingested.

[theheroics]

grateful for that. but dont go thinking that heroes cant make mistakes too! i show you one day just how great of a hero i can be

[herlockian]

Of course I won't. It'd be silly to think that someone would never make a mistake.

All right! I look forward to it!
