"Should I be calling for a doctor? There's one not far from here."

"No, I don't think most of my problems are amenable to doctors and I think the ones that are, are clearing up on their own." She sits up.

"Oh... can I help with the other ones?"

"It's complicated."

"Mm." Lucette has no idea what to do in this situation, apparently.

"Where am I, please?"

"The Oakhill manor, in York."

"Where is that?"

"Northern England."

"...where is England?"

"The island of Great Britain west of the European continent?"

"I think I may be from another planet. That or my translation magic is not very good at place names."

"Your shoes and jacket look quite foreign, and I suppose another planet is possible, though there are areas on this planet we have had little contact with. I think there's a globe in this library you can check if you'd like to see whether anything looks familiar?"

"I can't see. Except I can read the spines of your books."

"Oh. Well, then I suppose a map won't help... how did you acquire this condition?" 

"I think what happened is that I was hit by a vehicle containing several improperly stored artifacts and some of them hit me."

"What are artifacts?"

"Magic objects. If you touch one you get a good thing and a bad thing. I'm not sure how many I have."

"Those sound fairly distinct from how magic works here - how were they created?"

"Sometimes, when someone dies, their favorite object becomes an artifact. Artifacts are indestructible so they accumulate over time."

"Okay, that sounds different from anything I'd expect to encounter in this world. We have people who acquire powers around adolescence along with demons who haunt them, and sometimes this can result in magical artifacts being created by the demon or the empowered, but not in a manner such as you describe."

"What do the artifacts do?"

"It varies, some of the ones I've heard of glow and can heat a large space evenly, another is a type of metal stronger than any we have yet discovered on our own."

"So nothing like our artifacts really.

"I have... one, two, three... benefits, and... either four or five drawbacks, I think I'm also deaf except for language, I can't hear myself breathe at all, so that might be the same thing as the blindness with the same exception for the translation magic. I don't know how they correspond so there could be plenty of both I haven't noticed yet." She takes off her coat while she says this.

"And the others that you've noticed? If you are interested in sharing that is."
