anyone know how to fix broken ribs

Comments

I see.

Then I would recommend try to ice it as much as you can and avoid moving the area. Although, try your best given the current situation we're in.

[Pause]

But why were you trying to fight a bird?

[bratherine]

aye aye

( Thank god Ryouma is taking her to a medic, because she hates all this "rest" advice. )

he won't leave me alone

( Kate you started this. )

[localweirdo]

Was it that bad where you had to fight him where you got yourself that injured?

I really hope it was worth it because I am curious what led up to it.

[Did she at least kick him where it hurts?]

[bratherine]

( It would be for the good of society if she put Izō's dick out of commission, true. )

think that guy would fight a wall if he walked into it

( In other words: you barely need to do anything to get yourself in this situation if you run into that birdbrain. )

[localweirdo]

Ah, so you're talking the type who likes to fight a lot. It sure sounds a lot like someone I know.

[Why no, she is totally not talking about a certain orange haired Fatui member. What are you talking about?]

Did you at least put up a good fight? [You're not helping, Hu Tao!]

[bratherine]

( hm it is truly a mystery as to who she could be referring to! )

could've been better

( she's gotta sort that problem out but like. the question of how to approach that with someone lingers yet. )

[localweirdo]

[Huh, that certainly wasn't a response she was expecting.]

How so? Unless you're referring to your broken ribs.

[bratherine]

could have had a weapon with me

( She is tiny and weaponless, Hu Tao! ;; She's still a n00b at this shit okay. School brawls are definitely not the same as actually fighting thugs with bats. )

[localweirdo]

You too? Aiya, no wonder you broken your ribs!

If you want my advice? Next time, make sure to go for the neck. That's where most of the carotid arteries are!

[Was she giving her terrible advice? Probably. But when Hu Tao was equally tiny? She needed to find a way to protect herself!]

[bratherine]

( Probably, but Kate'll take it.

And maybe make a point to buy a knife. The billhook she pilfered in the underground is too big to carry around on a day-to-day basis. )

any other recs?

( She knows a few things but, hey, more info doesn't hurt in this case. )

[localweirdo]

I would also say try to attack the legs too so it wouldn't let your opponent get away easily. But there isn't anymore advice as I have yet to encounter a fight without my vision or my strength weakened.

[Because alas, now she is a 5'1 girl with limited fire power now.]

[bratherine]

vision? you got sight-based powers or smth?

( 👀👀 an fwend...? )

[localweirdo]

It's a gift given to us by the gods! It allows us to use elemental abilities.

Mine happens to be fire but alas, the power I have is limited. Isn't that tragic? What is a small girl supposed to do?

[Perhaps...?]

[bratherine]

( shorties gotta stick together, even if vision didn't mean a sight-based power like Kate thought. )

guess it would suck if you have smth good like that

( Kate, for one, does not mind the nerf. She doesn't have to be blinded by people any more. )

[localweirdo]

It really does and especially when I rely on it so much! Is there anyone you know who can teach me some martial arts?

I promise I'll pay you back!

[Pretty please with lots of cherries on top?]

[bratherine]

no

( sry Hu Tao, but she really doesn't. )

ask your faction

[localweirdo]

I might have to.

It seems like the both of us are going to have a difficult time here, aren't we? Although, I suppose we can both share the misery.

[bratherine]

you might

( This is absolutely bravado. This day has SUCKED so far, and being told she's "going to have a difficult time" simply makes Kate bristle more than anything else. )

i'll be fine with a bat

[localweirdo]

You sure? I could assist you in fighting if you want.

I'm pretty proficient with the polearm.

[Look, she's trying to help!!]

[bratherine]

yeah?
prove it

( She's sus of everyone here tbh. )

[localweirdo]

[Well then...!]

Shall I wish this to video? I do believe I can show you what I can capable of!

[bratherine]

go for it

( She'll watch. Convince her. )

[localweirdo]

[And just like that, she turned the communicator onto video before giving a quick wave. Should Katherine look, she will see a young woman holding a pretty long wooden stick.]

Hello there, can you see me? You'll have to excuse the weapon, I'm afraid a long stick is simply all I have at the moment.

[bratherine]

i can see you

( She's sticking with text, because she isn't trying to prove anything right now. )

show me

[localweirdo]

Then please do be amazed!

[That being said? Using the long stick she had, she decided to use various attacks at the random space she had. Although, should Kate look around her area?

She may or may not notice there was a lot of clothes on the floor, couch, and even on the table. Please do excuse the mess.]
