( 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. )

like i shoulda just not gotten bit

@ BAD DADDY

[zauneyete]

Ah, yes. It's disappointing, isn't it? The one downside, soothed by the fact that at least we can still smoke.

As a tip, in case you are in need.

[atonality]

What of the non-bitten in need? Asking for a friend. The friend is me.

[zauneyete]

Oh? Interested in a little contraband.

I can make that happen. Off base, of course.

[ in case LILITH if watching.]

[atonality]

Always.

There’s a great shadowed alley in Kabuki-cho that serves well for illicit meetings and the like.

[zauneyete]

I'm familiar.

Have any particular tastes I should be looking for?

[atonality]

I figured you would.

A beggar can’t be a chooser, so I’ll let your tastes dictate what’s available.

[ And let him have another glimpse into the tastes of an ornery old fuck. ]

[zauneyete]

Like to gamble, do you?

I might just choose something I would have liked. Be careful.

[atonality]

Life is a gamble, so yes.

If I wanted caution, I’d go pick up a productive hobby.

[zauneyete]

Then I will be more than happy to sate your curiosity. Just don't complain if you can't handle it, hm? Nothing here will be nearly as potent as I would prefer, but there's enough that's passable.

[atonality]

Now what would a sweet fellow like you consider to be potent?

[hitokiller]

are you two makin' a deal on MY post
instead of givin' me sympathy???

[atonality]

Absolutely.

But if it’s sympathy you want I can cut you a very good deal on that too.

[zauneyete]

Oh? I didn't realize this was only a space for complaints.

[hitokiller]

( "bad daddy"... who tf? )

huh
i didn't try that yet
not a bad tip at all

[zauneyete]

[ 😑 he'll never learn to fix it bc it's too funny ]

I know.

This is an adjustment, but it you want to soothe your ills, you must get creative. You could always drain a drunkard.

[hitokiller]

... there's an idea
guess i could just,
ask someone to drink for me

[zauneyete]

I don't know how potent it would be, but I can imagine if you have enough in you, it may work out.

Why not just pay some poor fool on the streets? If you're worried about ethics, they'll likely be so out of it they won't even remember.

[hitokiller]

huh
that's pretty damn smart
hell, a guy like that might even be into it

( given some of the locals he knew deeper into the city. hmm. )

smarter than i figured for a "bad daddy"

[zauneyete]

Now where have I heard something like that before? You'd be surprised how smart some of us can be.

The name is thanks to LILITH. They seem to think they're rather funny.

[ AND MEAN??? Is he not a good father...(No) ]

[hitokiller]

maybe they are
who's this, exactly

[zauneyete]

[ dammit ]

Silco.

( 1 / ????
