I'd thought we wouldn't have to worry about dying early because they'd want to make sure to keep us alive for the two months until the ritual, but there goes that one point of optimism.
[ it's fine, his innate cuteness is keeping him smelling fresh........
he nods. ]
And now this monster thing's an even bigger liability than we thought it was. Like, it was already creepy, but it seemed like you could pretty much opt out of the whole system if you wanted to. Now we're all just ticking monster time bombs.
[ His outward reaction is really mild but it's probably a lot more telling how the black words begin to scrawl over his arms in creepy moving lettering, like spiders skittering over his sleeves. AGAIN. AGAIN. AGAIN. ]
We'll want to make sure it never gets to that point. How, I don't know -- I only know how to treat diseases and injury, not this... but the next best thing I can do is try to look at it like one.
[ you know it probably would have gone over his head if it hadn't been pointed out, but since it has been, that gets his first actual smile of the day. ]
[ Just saying!! He cannot legally judge someone for drinking to forget the horrors here, doctor or not.
He sighs. ]
Mr. Aventurine and Mr. Boothill both knew their alcohol. [ A shame...... ] Tempting, but we'll see. As nice as it'd be, I'm sure we can all think of more vital things to request.

As well as can be expected, I guess.
[ which is Not Great, but that's mostly for theater and karma reasons. ]
How about you?

Alive. Functioning well enough. Could use a cigarette.

No. It's looking decidedly less like a mass sacrifice and more a gradual offering... little by little.
[ Running a hand through his hair. ]
It still opens the avenue of maybe attempting to intercept before we reach some kind of ponit of no return, but...
It's going to be much more difficult now.

...Well, I guess if you come up with something, let me know if I can do something to help with it. [ ... ] Preferably not lab rat stuff.

[ Jeez, what kind of person do you think he is. Karma? ]
Though I'll keep it in mind, if something doesn't look like a one-person job... or if I need more eyes.

That's not meant to be funny.

Okay, got it.

Anything I can get you? Water?

Mm, I'm okay right now, but thanks!
Maybe ask again if you ever see me coming out from the wine cellar, though.

Not normally much of a drinker? Although calling the things here "drinks" is pretty big praise.
no subject
[ which it very often is here because the food sucks!! ]
no subject
Couldn't blame you if you tried it though. We all have our limits, and sometimes we want to change it up a little before it gets overwhelming.
[ You can drink alcohol to restore sanity in his canon so. You know. He gets it. ]
Wish we had something nicer. Then at least we could make a decent real drink or two.

Seriously. Maybe someone can make that their request for this week, if they're willing to share.

I'd think they should be able to make a more generic power source with the same technology, though.

[ ??? You can do that? ]

Shame that it only works on your phone, but like I said before -- I think having something like that around and powered will be handy anyway.
