I'll survive in the woods, but if I ever had the option, I'm staying inside.

[ Just refuses to curfew outside ever I guess. ]

[ablazement]

[goes to check the terrifying spigot that makes you dance forever]

Bet the Academy's going to be crowded this week.

[recession]

Maybe I should make a point to avoid it then.

[ Well they'll see what happens. I think so many people being in the academy that they have to split the curfew again is very funny. We only have 27 people. ]

[ablazement]

Wherever you go, I'm going with.

[cheerfully! it would be really funny we just have 27 people crammed into the book egg]

[recession]

What, now you want to make it on purpose?

[ Their continued unplanned curfewing is so funny still. ]

[ablazement]

[snortlaughs!!]

Aw, that hurts, Daan! We talked about it the other night, though I guess you were loopy.

[recession]

Be my guest. Anywhere you had in mind in particular?

[ablazement]

[a little shrug.]

Nah. I'm not picky, so long as I'm with people I want to be with. [puts

her hand in the blood spigot]

Not outside works though.

[recession]

[ Looks at her just putting her hand in the blood spigot. ]

You know I can see this, right?

[ Does your hand feel weird Karlach. Are you developing a yaoi hand as we speak? ]

[ablazement]

[becomes a kaiju but only her hands

no, nothing happens if she touches it, i asked. tch.]

Yeah, I wasn't gonna just test it by myself.

[ok]

[recession]

I did just say it was preferable.

...

Is anything happening? What does it feel like.

[ Does it feel like blood. Is it warm, ew. ]

[ablazement]

[wiggles her fingers in it...]

It's warm. Ew. [...] It smells like flowers? Kinda sexy.

[THIS IS. WHAT ANNA TOLD ME WHEN I ASKED]

It's not doing anything, though.

[recession]

Probably not my next go-to word after "ew".

[ Holds out the little jar of water he tends to keep around these days. Just always boiling and bottling sterile water just in case. Wosh ur hands. ]

Good to know that it isn't going to make people do something weird just by touching it. I really can't predict anything that goes on these days.

[ablazement]

I can't help it if that's how it smells!

[holds out her hand for wosh.]

Bet it makes you do weird shit if you put it in your mouth.

[recession]

Are you going to put it in your mouth?

[ Girl you can wash your own hands. He pours water over it to get some of the blood off even though she may or may not just end up drinking some soon. ]

[ablazement]

On a scale of one to ten how mad would you be if I did.

[THE RESTLESS SPIRIT OF CURIOSITY CAN NOT BE SATED OR TAMED]

[recession]

Not a ten because you asked first.

Seriously, be careful though? Don't like... down it.

[ Maybe just one small taste...

He's really only agreeing because like. At least she'd probably own it and take it into stride instead of just bass-boosted suffering like a certain Ms. Preaker. Unless this blood just makes her go fucking berserk and kill Daan on the spot which in that case understandable have a nice day. ]

[ablazement]

I'm not going to chug it!

[she is curious, though, and it's probably better to know what it can do? just in case it comes up later...

so she reaches in and scoops a bit up and puts it in her mouth. asks the mods if she goes berserk and kills daan on the spot free me from this mortal coil]

[recession]

[ Let's get the fuck outta dodge big girl. ]

[ablazement]

[well

she doesn't go insane, probably. instead, she wrinkles her nose, because she doesn't like the taste, and then glances over at daan.

and then behind daan!]

[recession]

...?

[ Looks at her just to check if she looks like she's about to jump out of her skin or more specifically at him. If not, then he'll also glance behind them before back at her. ]

Karlach?

[ablazement]

[there's nothing behind him...

she looks startled.]

-- Wait, really, you're just going to look back at me? Did you not see the turtle?

[recession]

The what?

[ Oh boy. He's squinting a bit and trying to discern from Karlach's expression and eyes if her pupils seem dilated or anything strange like that. ]

[ablazement]

[she seems like... fine, mostly, but listen, he's a doctor. he can probably figure out she's hallucinating something. karlach shifts, moving to stand so she can go past him, reaching a hand out into empty space.]

The turtle. It --

[stops talking. loooong silence.]

[recession]

Karlach, the blood's making you hallucinate.

[ Just says it. Probably, anyway. Why a turtle. How big is this turtle she's imagining. ]
