( 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. )

with not bein' able to eat real food, or drink, or

( a pause. )

Don't even test me. I've killed a bunch of Bloodfiends back home, you know.

[hitokiller]

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

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