[Good morning, Asgard. There's a cheerful warlock wearing a dopey sort of grin on your bracelet screen.]

Since Arthur's already had his time to talk about the Citadel, I guess it's my turn. After what happened with the Gentlemen attacking, and the SOS message a couple days ago, it's not a bad time to remind everyone that the Medic Corps are still around. If you want to help with the war effort but aren't a fighter yourself, we could always use more healers willing to go onto the field and help the wounded. The hospital's a good place to work if being a physician is something you'd like to do, too.

I've just finished packing some more of the medicine kits. [He holds his own kit up to the screen as an example.] If you want one, or if you need to restock yours, just go to the hospital and ask for Merlin.

Right--speaking of the hospital. I've been talking to Jack, and we're going to be redecorating the hospital. Most of the walls and rooms are white, it's hard to believe any patient would recover while looking at something so painfully bare. We could use the help brightening the place up. Paint, portraits, trinkets--anything you've got that you that you want to contribute, I'm sure we'll find some place to put it. Or Jack's little ducklings will if we older folks can't. [Merlin grins, picturing the Guardian surrounded by the native and traveler children.]

Send all of that over to the hospital if you want, or [the half teasing, half sly expression on his face indicates the second option is the better one] you can come and help us decorate in a few days. There's enough of you good at creating and the like that it shouldn't be a problem, right?

[Was that a challenge you just heard? Nah, probably your imagination. Merlin beams, practically radiating cheer and innocence.] Great, so I'll see you all there!

Long sticks? [Alice is wrapping her brain around what it could possibly be.... she snaps her fingers, a habit she picked up from someone since she's actually quite bad at snapping her fingers.] You mean wallpaper?

I don't think that's it. I've seen some of the children in the hospital use it before. Sort of like...a quill, I guess? There's some colour at the end of the stick that they use to draw.

Wallpaper's just a roll of coloured paper... [He looks thoughtful.] though using that for the occupied rooms isn't a bad idea.

... Crayons? Marker? Colored pencils? Paintbrushes? I know Jack once had us color on walls with crayons.

Those might be it. They don't have a scent, do they?

Well, crayons smell of wax but otherwise no.

Wax? That's not so bad. [The new kinds of wax in Asgard are fairly easy to ignore, scent wise.]

Well if we can use them, we should. Do you have any of those around?

I have dozens and dozens! I might have well over a hundred!

That's...quite a lot. [Well, Alice does like her art!]

Would you mind if we borrowed some for the day?

I've a better idea! You can keep some! That way the other children can have some to play with in the hospital! Ah... is... or do you think we should get them new ones?

I don't think they'll mind, Alice. As long as they have something, does it matter where it's from?

[says one of the servants in Camelot.]

Well, then in that case, they can have them. I have lots of them.
