Not... everyone. Since it's not actively contagious- the disease comes from a mineral that's native to Terra, and doesn't spread through person to person easily for the most part.
( she... it's the coward's way out, but she'll let wave draw her own conclusions here. )
... But Rhodes Island is one of the few places an infected person can live safely and actually earn a decent living, while also getting affordable treatment.
[It doesn't really matter if Susie does or doesn't have it, not to her. Something about the way the separation between worlds works--even if it did spread via person-to-person contact, it's odd how things do or don't work among a group of people such as this.]
People shouldn't have to work for a company to earn treatment for a condition. It's good that they have options, but...
[But maybe she shouldn't push it too much. Wave shakes her head, then softens her words with a little smile.]
Sorry. My mother's a healer, back in Coriolis. She's always believed that it's her duty to our people to do anything she can to take care of them. She'd be so mad...
No, it's alright. I agree, honestly, but... the medicine and other procedures, depending on how Oripathy has damaged the body, are all horribly expensive. Equipment, board and food, too... O-oh, but even then, almost all of the operators' work is voluntary, though- everyone has their reasons.
( silence wants to cure herself, her best friend and her daughter. the ursus girls want to regain control of their lives after chernobog and ensure that happens to absolutely no one else. some want to prove to the world that they deserve to exist, others have a bone to pick and this is an outlet.
... )
It's a mess. A great big mess, made worse by fear, discrimination, and greed. But at lest someone is trying.
Does anybody use magic in Terra? It sounds like a good healer could do a lot to help.
But you're right. Something like that needs a lot of people that are in it to help people, not just for themselves. It must be really hard on everyone there.
... We have Originium Arts, but none capable of healing Oripathy- in fact, Oripathy makes one's Arts stronger. And it's not that everyone at Rhodes Island is just in it for themselves- they all have their own reasons to fight, is what I meant. Everyone there is there to help, still.
