Vhalar, 716
Beginning the process of stitching the man up at Faith's behest it wasn't easy without a template, but she'd at least sewn before and with an example fresh in her mind it wasn't impossible feeling, in and out in and out slowly pulling the raw flesh together it was grim work, but satisfying, she'd saved a life, on her own almost. It wasn't something she was sure she'd make a habit out of, but the ability to do it was something she felt she could take pride in.

"Thanks for all the help Faith, I couldn't have done it alone."

Slowly the last stitches went in and like she's been shown she tied a knot and looked at her work, it wasn't as straight or pretty as Faiths, but it looked like it would hold, and it looked like the man would live, she patted his hand comfortingly and hoped he'd be alright in the long term before making her way to faith and bowing deeply in thanks for her saving her life and teaching her how to save others.

"Yup, you've taught me a lesson I won't soon forget, and put me together to boot, so.. yeah... Thanks, a lot."

With that Symbri turned towards the exit ready to get home and heal, she had new knowledges to ruminate upon, and a new ability discovered, perhaps she wasn't only useful on the frontlines, she could save lives in more ways than one.

General Comment:
I took a bit of a leap there with devotion and fame, the former because, to my knowledge, Symbri was the only one that wanted devotion to Moseke out of you three? (I awarded the Famula ones to Faith 'cause she has Famula's blessing, in case you were wondering) Also, since the fame chart tells nothing of saving a life, I went and doubled the amount of fame you would've gotten for a general good deed. General good deed fames were given for helping the patients that weren't fatally wounded, but still required some help.

Now, away from the seriousness, this thread got me so emotionally invested into every single patient! It felt like I was in the middle of an episode of Grey's Anatomy, if that show was actually about doctors. I just love how calm Faith is, and how, well, uncalm Symbri is, and yet she's too scared, or invested, to go and burst into an argument with Faith. I just feel like Faith is 10 years older than Symbri when I'm reading this thread, it's amazing. And Alex by herself is really fun to read. All that smug, but really she just wants to help. If I had favorites, which I obviously don't, Alex would definitely be one of them. I just love how she interacts with the world around her, in a smuggy, but still nice-ish way. :D

Story: All very good from all of you! Very well done!
Collaboration: As expected, really nice, I just wished there was more socializing between Alex and the other two, but alas, perfection doesn't exist :P
Structure: Faith - Really quite good, there were just a couple odd word choices in the first two posts that made me consult google. It all turned out just lovely, as a Brit like yourself would say >>

Vluharqih - All good, no issues here :)

Symbri - You've had some really small errors, but they kept repeating so I had to take away one point from structure. Some examples would be:

"When she was awoken by faith it seemed like the first few moments were a blur,(...)" - Capitalization, should be Faith. Unless you meant that she was awoken by her belief in the Immortals? Which I doubt, so, yeah, forget it.

"Quickly fetching the Suture kit Symbri watched wide eyed as Faith went to giving orders again unphased by the situation, having her Hold onto the wound Symbri bit her bottom lip as she touched the man's wound pressing down on it as warm blood welled around her fingers, she'd worked with raw meat before but seeing a human reduced to a similar state was in it's own way mortifying, seeing the muscles that lied beneath one's flesh was mildly disgruntled to say the least." - Several bad capitalizations, should be "suture kit" & "her hold onto the wound" (couldn't find any witty response to this one). It also should be "wide-eyed".

"watching the woman work without flinching or taking any heed to the viscera she worked in, more than that she was quick and able to talk while she did it, Symbri wondered if she'd ever reach a level where she could do anything and teach it at the same time. listening to her talk was enchanting in its own sort of way, she just seemed so calm amidst all that was going on, like an Anchor amidst a maelstrom. " Again, some bad capitalization like random capital letters in the middle of a sentence, and lower-case letters at the beginning.

There were some other errors, as small as these ones or smaller, but I want you to know that all of those are easily fixable by a quick proofread and edit of your posts, and it's nothing to be alarmed about. A wise person once told me that if you're finding editing boring, what you can do is read the text out loud, but in a funny pirate voice! (I've been doing this ever since I heard the advice, I'm not joking :D )

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions or concerns. I wish you all a marvelous day/night/middle!
