( 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

[ You can nearly hear his teeth grinding via text. ]

As I said, LILITH assigned it. Perhaps you should take it up with them.

I find it inaccurate.

[hitokiller]

i dunno
it kinda fits now
given all those tips you gave me

( time to be vague on purpose. heh heh heh. )

[zauneyete]

[IZOU...NOOOOO

But if he's distracted by this then...]

Are you done yet?

[hitokiller]

done messin' with you?
... i guess
bat daddy

[zauneyete]

Yes, yes, you're very clever. Would you like applause?

[hitokiller]

i wouldn't say no
but also, i wasn't bullshittin' when i said it kinda fit
in the sense that...
i'm still thinkin' about how you called it a gift

( and egged him on to just accept it. which is going well, and isn't. )

[zauneyete]

Well it is, isn't it?
Immortality coupled with the changes. Would you rather call it something else? Like a curse? Too many see it that way, and they're wrong.

[hitokiller]

some of us weren't 'sposed to live forever
and not bein' able to eat what i want is sorta cursed,
so
guess i can see both sides to it

[zauneyete]

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. ]

[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

[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]

( LITERALLY THE ONLY ONE. )

keep on beatin' that dead horse

[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 ]

( 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. )
