[she had actually wondered if he'd realized what was going on there. it was real blood! the fact that they couldn't see it when she touched them was the illusion. congratulations on having karlach's blood on you at one point, daan.]
Yeah. Fuck, that's right, I did tell you, didn't I. Sorry, everything's been a blur. [a little sigh.] Anyway. I'd had it for a bit, and Gale insisted.
[ WELL LIKE basically he thought she was using her mass illusion skill to make everyone bleed to cover up the fact that SHE was also bleeding. And also maybe after the fact that she had been using it to hide her own bleeding, but he doesn't know how far the expanded power goes, how many uses, etc. Either way he did clock that there was a mass hallucination going on. ]
[it really was just me keeping a list of who she touched with her blood hands all day and then presenting it to the mods like yes hello, the illusion wears off now
in any case, he was right, there was a hallucination going on, and when she realized he knew, that was when she asked.]
Nah. Suguru was. [a little twist of guilt.] Gale just knew I'd been holding onto my wish for a while. I wanted to cure Astarion.
[ Mmh. Well. There's a small chance he could've figured out Karlach's issue by praying to Sylvian hard enough, but there isn't much he could do to assist with Gale or Astarion's predicaments.
He absently picks at his other wrist with a hand, and then sticks it in his pocket as he frowns. ]
You're always thinking of each other before yourselves, huh?
[that was mostly why she's been so finicky about it, because - she's been offered a lot of solutions. she has a solution, back home. if she'd just gone back to the hells, she'd survive. but there was never a way to fix vampirism, the nether orb. not without something more powerful than she could manage.
daan says this, and she tilts her head back, hands in her pockets.]
We've been through so fucking much together in such a short time. [she says, with a sigh.] So... yeah. I guess we are.
[ He pauses. It's a good thing? No it's not. He wishes you bitches would have a bit more self-preservation. Yeah, sure, shut up because it's him who's saying it, but he's also got nothing going on in his life, okay? You all do. He's talked to all three of you enough to glean that you all actually have the will to live, not just survive.
He sighs. ]
No shot you couldn't convince him to slide one in at the last second? Make the bond, make the wish, then he can go about his merry way killing the cult like he's been apparently aching to do since day one.
Oh. True. Suppose this would count for it, even if it was a mercy-kill?
[ Imagine they just made you come back to life instead. Also wow, should he feel insulted about her decreeing blue to be a terrible colour for Astarion. ]
[the way i told them if they tried to revive me i'd make the mods tell them they wasted their item. also no!! astarion is the one who said it'd be a terrible color on him!!]
They were going to have to put me down either way, so I made sure he got something out of it.
[she kind of laughs at that, tail flicking back and forth.]
Yep! Can't deny a woman her dying wish. [twisty, terrible guilt wells up in her, which does not show on her face.] Hope he writes back, soon. Both of them, honestly.
[ True bro behaviour... unless? He has no idea what's going on in the relationship department there given Astarion is Astarion and Gale... whatever is also going on there with Mystra...
When they arrive to BOP to the TOP and descend down the stairs though, there's finally at least some kind of shift in emotion from Daan. Interest. Curiosity. Not blazingly positive but it's definitely something. He just shuffles off first thing to the counter to look at everything. ]
[mutters grouchily as they walk, because she also has no fuckin' idea what's going on there. the boys are Stupid.
in any case, she perks up a little when she gets those hints of curiosity? she eases back, letting him poke around and explore. like unleashing a cat into a new house... even if the cat metaphor is an unfortunate one.]
[ Unfortunately it might be a little bit accurate. You really could imagine a cat hopping on the counter, sniffing around, pawing at things... but like, behaved, because he isn't going to knock over any of this good shit on the floor. Turning over a nice-label brandy in his hands, and the impression is impressed interest. ]
I do hope this place is here to stay too, if I'm interpreting how locations over here work correctly. This is quality.
[i'm very sorry for how happy the little bits of interest and curiosity she's getting from him make her feel. there's a little burst of her being pleased, and she wanders over to take a look at the brandy, as well.]
Lucas said everything sticks, here, yeah. So it should be around for as long as we are? [headtilt.] That does look like the good shit.
[this is a woman who spent most of her time in taverns before she got thrown to hell, she is all about this. she takes a pretty solid sip of it, and then laughs.]
Holy shit, meds, you weren't fucking kidding about the strong.

Yeah. Fuck, that's right, I did tell you, didn't I. Sorry, everything's been a blur. [a little sigh.] Anyway. I'd had it for a bit, and Gale insisted.
So I used it Sunday morning. It was easy.

Gale's your partner? Or was.

Why the fuck are ALL of you hiding afflictions that you're all trying to self-sacrificially save each other for
You know that meme that's like curling around each other trying to take the bullet going 'nooo', THAT'S YOU. THAT'S YOU THREE. ]
Of his, ah, vampirism?

Yeah. Because he didn't want to find his partner. [it'd been gale, originally, but then gale found a partner...]

but past that, she glances at daan with a little half smile.]
Well - he's the one that killed me, so he had better fucking use that to get himself a cure from that horrible incentive room.
[dryly.]
If we get back and he hasn't done, I'm going to dye his hair blue.

Think so. He wasn't possessed when he did it.

[ The aura is clearly an unhappy one, but at least it's not with the usual turbo-depression vibe you'd expect. It's just plain unhappy... ]
He'd just be a plain arse if he disrespected it now, hm?
[ There's really no reason he shouldn't so DO IT ASTARION. ]
no subject
Yep! Can't deny a woman her dying wish. [twisty, terrible guilt wells up in her, which does not show on her face.] Hope he writes back, soon. Both of them, honestly.
no subject
[ Btw any location in particular we want to look at? They be wandering. ]
no subject
maybe they can go visit his bar actually]
And I would, too. Send them dreams of them kissing each other, that'd show them.
no subject
Really. Guess that's one way to do it.

[ Because he's going to whip her up this. ]
Here you go!

Holy shit, meds, you weren't fucking kidding about the strong.

That's really fucking good, actually.
