Oh...I guess that's what you meant by first aid last time? [How odd, though. Izuku gets the feeling something isn't quite adding up here, but that can wait until later.]
A-anyway... we should still send Maribelle-san a message in case a different kind of healing magic is needed.
I'm used to having to keep it a secret, so it kind of came naturally, but it really doesn't matter if you know. I have... some sort of power too, even though it's really nothing like your quirks, I think. Sorry for misleading you, Midoriya-kun.
I-it's okay! I can understand needing to keep something secret... [It's not like he has any leg to stand on for that in particular.] We can always talk about it later, after we've taken care of Serket-san.
[On reflex, Izuku reaches into his pocket for his phone and sighs when he remembers they don't work here.] I really wish there were an easier way of contacting people here. Can I use your laptop? I have her hex code memorized, but my laptop's all the way back in Flavo.
Thanks. [Izuku quickly fires off a message and looks relieved when he gets something back before long. It's a flurry of quick messages from there before Izuku finally stands up again.]
Okay, she said she's heading over now. Let's wait for her outside.
[He'll shut off the laptop by closing the screen, and then off they go into the outside world to wait for Maribelle... hey Vriska statue, how u doin'.]
Maribelle-san! [Izuku perks up as soon as he sees her.]
S-sorry, I should've been more clear about what was going on. It's urgent, though.
[And now he nods toward the statue that he and Minato were hovering around.] Um, this is the friend I mentioned. Arisato-kun, do you want to explain what happened?
This statue here... is my roommate, Vriska. I've tried everything I can, but I can't seem to get her to turn back to normal. I'm sure it's her, though, she's just...
[There's a flicker in his expression as his hopes are dashed.]
I-it's still worth a try. Just in case she reacts to another kind of healing magic.
[He's grateful that Maribelle's still willing to make the attempt despite her doubts. It would feel wrong to just leave things like this without giving it a shot.]
[With a sigh, she holds out her staff. It glows faintly, but aside from that, nothing else seems to happen. To her credit, Maribelle does try again, and again, and again, until she breaks into a sweat and has to lower her staff.]
Ugh... A-anymore, and my staff will break in two...

Yes... some of it. I gave it a try, but it didn't do anything for her, unfortunately.

...Sorry. I guess that was pretty misleading.
[a-ahem.]

But yes... let's message Maribell-san.

[To his laptop! He'll log in so Izuku can use it at will. Enjoy being blue for a brief moment instead of yellow, Izuku, as you use Minato's laptop!]
no subject
Okay, she said she's heading over now. Let's wait for her outside.
no subject
Got it.
[He'll shut off the laptop by closing the screen, and then off they go into the outside world to wait for Maribelle... hey Vriska statue, how u doin'.]
no subject
Now, would someone care to tell me what's going on? I was given quite the scare.
[Yet she speaks as calmly as ever.]
no subject
S-sorry, I should've been more clear about what was going on. It's urgent, though.
[And now he nods toward the statue that he and Minato were hovering around.] Um, this is the friend I mentioned. Arisato-kun, do you want to explain what happened?

Hello, Maribelle-san.
[What did you even say to her, Izuku...]
This statue here... is my roommate, Vriska. I've tried everything I can, but I can't seem to get her to turn back to normal. I'm sure it's her, though, she's just...
[Been turned to stone.]
no subject
[She had assumed this was someone's ghastly idea of artwork. Probably not idea to say that out loud.]
She... she was turned to stone? How is such a thing even possible?
[So that should already signal her magic's going to do bupkis. She swallows, holding out her staff.]
I... I don't believe I can cure her, if this truly is her... but I will try.
no subject
I-it's still worth a try. Just in case she reacts to another kind of healing magic.
[He's grateful that Maribelle's still willing to make the attempt despite her doubts. It would feel wrong to just leave things like this without giving it a shot.]
no subject
[After all, they've tried other healing and it hasn't worked, but... with a rueful, worried shrug:]
We thought we should try everything.
no subject
[With a sigh, she holds out her staff. It glows faintly, but aside from that, nothing else seems to happen. To her credit, Maribelle does try again, and again, and again, until she breaks into a sweat and has to lower her staff.]
Ugh... A-anymore, and my staff will break in two...
no subject
M-Maribelle-san! [As soon as she stops, though, he takes a few steps toward her, worry written all over his face.] Are you okay?
[Even though he does want Vriska to be healed, he doesn't want it to be at the cost of someone else's health!]
no subject
Maribelle-san, please rest now...
[He shakes his head.]
Thank you for trying. That's all we could really have asked for.
no subject
Magic uses energy... Too much in one sitting, and it's like running a hundred miles. I'm afraid, as far as my abilities go, I'm useless here.
no subject
Do you need anything? We're the ones who asked you to come here, it's only fair we help you if you need something to replenish your energy.
no subject
[Maribelle tried her best...and Minato's grateful for that.
They'll have to find another way to restore Vriska properly.]
no subject
[don't worry she won't ask you guys to fan her and rub her shoulders.]
no subject
Um, I can fetch water from the well? [He shifts from foot to foot, looking anxious to help.]
no subject
[While Izuku fetches water, they can at least do that much.]
no subject
Thank you, Izuku, Minato. I can only hope whatever this is, is not... contagious and spreads to either of you.
no subject
And he returns with a bucketful of it just a little while later.] Here it is! Sorry it took so long.
no subject
[He didn't even think about that; his brow furrows as he thinks. Uh...]
...I'm sure we'll be fine. [Yeah.] I haven't heard of this happening to anyone else yet, so...
[At least, he's hoping so.
But yeah Minato just grabs a clean cup for Maribelle, so Izuku can pour the water into it.]
