I got into a little bit of trouble last night and my right arm is currently immobile.

Well, I'm more from Genji 1, what you would called 1864, than ancient Japan. But what do you mean 'getting any of this'?

-Julian Ikeda

What kind of 'trouble'?

It just seems odd that someone from that far back in Japan is doing so well in America. And speaking English.

The kind of trouble one gets into that results in a sword being shoved through their shoulder.

It was not my choice to be here and I do not understand English. I am writing Japanese, and by some method or another, you are seeing it in English.

-Julian Ikeda

Nurse's Note: Julian fell and hurt his shoulder - he was not stabbed. I apologize for his mistake.

Seen that done before. Leaves a big scar.

So whatever's translating all this works on writing too? Donny'd be thrilled.

Yes, I'm hoping to get it healed so it doesn't. I've come this far in my life without many scars, I'd like to end it with the same number.

Apparently so. Donny is...?

-Julian Ikeda

Healed? Like how?

Donny's my brother. Biggest techno-geek ever, but a genius when it comes to machines and things. I was kinda hoping he, Mikey, and Leo would be here too. And maybe even Sensei. But I guess that ain't happening.

I don't really understand it. But if I can figure out how it's done, I may have to do it. Waiting for these to heal on their own takes too long.

What is a techno-geek? And I'm sorry that your family is not here. Although, considering this place, perhaps it is best that they are not.

-Julian Ikeda

Yeah. That kind of injury can take weeks or months depending. A way of cutting down the time is something anyone'd want.

Techno-geek is someone who's really good with technology. And likes it a lot. Donny's never happier than when he's busy in his lab making something.

Guess you're right about that. Still it'd be easier to know they had my back.

Yes. I'd rather not be out weeks. Or anything more than I need to be.

Oh. I see. I think. He is a scientist?

That is why many patients here have organized into clubs. They lack their usual allies, so they find new ones.

-Julian Ikeda

Kinda a scientist. Donny's a genius all on his own, seeing as we didn't exactly go to school or anything.

I think I'm starting to get what your club's about. Think a hothead like me might have a little fun?

Ah, I see. How interesting♥

As long as you're willing to do a little gruntwork in order to move up in the ranks? Certainly. We're known to be one of the more "aggressive" clubs out there, so as long as you don't mind a little bit of 'fun' at night, then you'd get along swimmingly.

-Julian Ikeda

I think I'd get bored if there wasn't a bit of 'fun' to be had around here. What'd you mean by gruntwork?

We can't just give toys out to anyone. In order to earn better playmates, you'd have to do things like gathering the materials to make your own toy (whatever that may be), run a few errands, things like that - gruntwork. However, those who make it through the training without leaving?

That's when the real fun starts.

-Julian Ikeda

I've been through plenty of training like that. Should be a snap. So, maybe I'm interested. What do I gotta do first?

Either post to the History Club bulletin here [an arrow drawn pointing toward this (http://community.livejournal.com/damned_bulletin/437350.html) post] or speak to the man named Homura. He is our leader. Let him know that Kaneyoshi recommended you.

I do hope to be meeting you soon.

-Julian Ikeda

Figure it ain't gonna hurt. Thanks.

Likewise. Maybe when your shoulder's better, we can see about sparring.

Instead of trying to figure it out on your own, how 'bout just, y'know, asking the one who can do the healing? What d'you wanna know?

I suppose that...is a possibility, yes. I didn't want to bother you, that's all.

But if you're offering - how exactly does it work? The last time I was healed, it required physical contact. Do you read the injured person's body?

-Julian Ikeda

Pfft.

The ability itself is… um, well, it's kind of weird, trying to explain Limit Breaks. It's sort of like this: physical pain and emotions like anger, frustration, excitement, the thrill of battle, the desire to survive and etc. build up, making it easier to tap into more and more powerful techniques. Sadness and apathy and all that other stuff does the opposite. I'm pretty sure that I've only got two out of seven of mine here, which kind of sucks, but that's beside the point.

Anyway, Clear Tranquil. That's my healing ability. It doesn't require touching, nope, and… uh, nope to that other thing, too. Since it's primarily used directly in the field, both of those things would be awkward and unnecessary and besides, I wouldn't know how to go about 'reading somebody's body' like that even if you paid me.

The whole point behind it is to heal somebody's physical injuries enough so that they've got a better chance of surviving than they have of dying, that's all. There's probably a limit on range, just like there's a limit on how many people I can use it on at once, but you could plaster yourself to the ceiling while I sat on the floor, and it'd still work okay.

This is very different than the last time I had someone treat me.

Thank you, Yuffie-san. You have no idea how much you've helped.

-Julian Ikeda

It's a bit of an oddball, 'specially when compared to the rest of my techniques. But even healing people with Materia doesn't usually require actually touching them. What happened last time?

The person held my hand and the injuries began to heal themselves. She held on until I was well enough to move on my own.

-Julian Ikeda

You'll be glad to hear that I'd rather eat minced brick than hold your hand, in that case. :) So, hey, are you the one Homura's gonna ask me to heal tonight?

:( Oh, but I wanted to hold yours. My heart is broken, Yuffie-chan.

Perhaps another time. I was asked, but refused on the grounds that I did not know what the healing entailed. I believe you'll be seeing different people tonight.

-Julian Ikeda

To offer my hand is to offer my soul, a fragile thing of snow-flurry and fallen leaves. Your heart will be mended! But, alas, not by me.

I'll keep the offer open for you.
