( it comes as video at first. the image of someone kicking a chair over in the cafeteria, the sound of "THE HELL?!!!" being screeched at a pitch even dogs can hear. there's a bottle and a half-filled glass on a flat table nearby.

maybe he didn't mean to send that. maybe he did. either way, there's a text immediately after. )

whaddya mean we can't
TASTE A DRINK NEITHER???
how long is this gonna last?
th... a week? a whole 'nother month?
where's that damn cure, huh?
how long's that gonna take?

( let the panic begin. )

... how're the rest of ya coping
with not bein' able to eat real food, or drink, or

( a pause. )

and don't say anything stupid
like i shoulda just not gotten bit

What do you care about what you're "supposed" to do? Isn't it better if you exceed whatever is meant for you?

[ Or maybe that's just silco who's a freak about that stuff ]

At least for me, I've never taken much enjoyment out of eating. This was hardly a downgrade. [ To be fair: look at him. ]

[zauneyete]

[ He exudes that decrepit warmed over refuse feeling, down to his very organs. ]

Good thing I can't leave base during the day, then, isn't it?

[newphew]

There's been a lot of blood shed. That mission wasthe closest call we've had with our own numbers.

[ but yeah hunter is inclined to agree..... even though he is one of the bleeders. even though tezca is one of the reasons for that ]

With so many of us affected they beter be ablte to find a cure>,

[newphew]

[ izou's forced detox...... with a side of bullying ]

GUEss you'll be skipping the alcohol then.

You have enough actual blood ?

[intertwinedfates]

[URK. He's really in it now...]

Yeah yeah. I'm sorry for picking on you and having to make your girlfriend stand up for ya.

[Lame apology is a go!]

[hitokiller]

... fine, fine
even if i'm more scared 'a water right now

( it was an empty threat anyhow. he's not about to burden ishmael of all people. )

[hitokiller]

( ... yeah.

people keep telling him that, and it thumps against the inside of his head. to keep living beyond his means. and he wants to... )

well, i'll keep yer conviction in mind
at least until this whole thing blows over

[hitokiller]

i got...
sources

[newphew]

That is the most suspicious way to phrase that/.

[ hunter being rude when he just wants to make sure izou isn't starving..... ]

[saudadist]

doesn't sound like it's that great, no

but the option is there if everything else tastes like ash I guess

[wheft]

[ ... ]

For the record, if I suddenly lost the ability to consume alcohol, I'd be throwing a fit too. So, I get it.

[cranekin]

I just think if there's something you like, you shouldn't give up so easily~

[zauneyete]

Isn't it better to find a way to enjoy it?

Personally, if they never find a cure, I'll be quite happy.

[ Literally the only one. ]

[hitokiller]

what
'cause i don't wanna talk about who i'm drivin' my teeth into where everyone's got eyes?

[hitokiller]

i get it
trust me
i just don't wanna be on the floor every day for tryin'
otherwise... i wouldn't let this shit beat me

[hitokiller]

( LITERALLY THE ONLY ONE. )

keep on beatin' that dead horse

[newphew]

Because you're making it sound weirder than it already is.

You good for blood orwhat?

[ not that he cares... baka... etc ]

[zauneyete]

You must not know me at all. I've been told I'll beat it until it's reduced to pulp and keep going.

[............jesus christ silco ]

[cranekin]

There's nothing wrong with that.

(I mean... there is. But Tsurumaru isn't going to judge Izou if he ends up on the floor as a puddle of inebriation or something.)

Are you missing anything else right now, Izou-kun?

(Any other foods...)

[fursuit]

I guess they might. but is it really worth that? seems like a lot more downsides than gain to me

[zauneyete]

What downsides? Sensitivity to the sun? Consuming blood? Repelled by religion? None of these are particularly detrimental.

[ Until they encounter a kaiju during the day. ]

[kaizou]

WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO BE A VAMPIRE ANYWAY

YOU WERE ALREADY STRONG ENOUGH

[redsoil]

I wish I could see yours. Quetzalcoatl used hers before her demise — she helped me obliterate a whole section of city.

[ The next time Ereshkigal brings up Quetzalcoatl being disappointed in Set's human-hating, he's going to tattle on that air-headed goddess and her role in Legitimately Killing People. ]

Sometimes I am asked to babysit the wealthy children. I feel I am transitioning from socialite to nanny.

"GG" is "good game". When they say it "ez gg", it is a compliment. "gg ez" is akin to saying "haha you sucked".

private

[fursuit]

yeah, heard about that. don't know the specifics, but I can guess what it was all about. mine's at a different level entirely, so I get why kenos and this earth both went "no thanks". it's costly for me to use, so it'd have to be for something real special, but it's me rearranging timelines a little bit. bring the future to the present, pull the underworld to the world of the living, shit like that.

course, don't go sharing those details. ereshkigal and izou, they'll see the real deal eventually, unless that master of theirs really sucks shit and doesn't even survive to that point. but that's so pathetic that I'd be disappointed. we'll see!

since to be honest with you, I don't think they realize the caliber of god they're dealing with. if I'm taking it seriously, they don't stand a fucking chance.

[ he can't wait for that day ♥ yay ]

anyways, much more importantly! I'll add that one to my repertoire for sure. works better in text though.

you pick up any other slang from your kids send it my way.

actually wait maybe I've got one for you

I think you're a milf set

[hitokiller]

( he wants to make a dick joke so badly. so, so badly.

but he already ragged on the guy for his stupid nickname.

here's where he's gonna just leave things alone. for now. )
