hey

dont tell anyone about this okay?

From:

claritatis

Tell anyone? About what?
I honestly have no idea what you might be talking about.

From:

multivitamins

what are your thoughts on gazebos?

From:

claritatis

Excellent at garden parties until the wind picks up. Why do you ask?

From:

multivitamins

[ what even? what? eddie is just going to take a moment to frown slightly.]

i thought they were bullshit. don't know what the wind has got to do with anything??

From:

claritatis

Perhaps you ought to explain what you're talking about. We appear to have hit some kind of miscommunication.

From:

multivitamins

when i was in the pharmacy getting my medicine someone told me they were gazebos. i think they were lying.

From:

claritatis

Placebos, Eddie.

From:

multivitamins

i mean they're not though, placebos. that word. she was just saying it to be horrible, right before she wrote loser on my cast.

what do you think about placebos?

From:

claritatis

I think they can be very effective, if the person taking them believes that they work.

From:

multivitamins

but they're not real, so how can they work if they're not real?

From:

claritatis

The human mind can be a very powerful thing.

From:

multivitamins

[ takes a good five minutes to even try to figure that answer out.]

so you mean, if someone believes they'll get better then they will?

From:

claritatis

I certainly wouldn't put all of my faith in that kind of healing, but there is a great deal to be said for a positive attitude, no matter the source of it.

Of course, the opposite applies as well.

From:

multivitamins

that sounds silly. who believes that kind of stuff? if that worked there would be no doctors left.

From:

claritatis

Medical science is often a necessary component, but it has certainly been shown that people with a positive attitude towards their recovery have a faster recovery rate.

Why the sudden interest?

From:

multivitamins

my doctors are never positive so thats just weird.

someone at the pharmacy said something i had was one. but that can't be right because they wouldnt charge money for it if it was a placebo.

From:

claritatis

Perhaps you simply had poor doctors.

What was this supposed placebo?

From:

multivitamins

[ Debates saying it for a moment. It's weird to think that such a vital and steady part of his life could even be fake. The thought of it alone is heinous enough.]

my asthma medicine.
