Out of curiosity, about how much virgin blood do you think is required to break the mask curse?
( Given the fact that Peter currently looks like a six-foot-tall spider person from Hell, he's wondering the same thing. Texting when you have eight eyes proves to be a very strange experience; he keeps getting distracted by looking all over the screen. )
I do know that in this place, a little blood goes a long way
Last year I had to do a ritual and all it took was a single drop
But for the mask curse... I wonder if it depends on how bad it is? I've seen some people a lot worse off than others

Knowing this place, it's either gonna be a single drop or a whole bathtub worth.
I see. I had heard some are looking for people that can help them.
Or, maybe looking isn't the correct term. And, well I was just wondering how much they would need to take.

Goodness! A whole bathtub? I certainly hope not! That would surely be far more than what a single person could possibly give.
Such a terrifying thought. Hopefully only a drop would be needed. Are things always so uncertain here?

It's more like... if the answer is easy to find, that means the solution is going to be really hard to do. But if no one can figure out the answer, then it's going to be something really easy to do once you figure it out.
That just sounds like most things. And, I guess in a way that adds a bit of normalcy here. Or maybe things become normal after living here long enough.
Have you been here long, Joker?

Yeah, I actually could use help there, too
The curse messed me up pretty bad. I look like Spiderman gone wrong
( Will this person understand the reference... )
But I'm pretty wary to like, drink someone's blood, you know?

I would start small and steadily add to the volume until you have the results you're looking for.
What kind of problems are you having?

Yes, I understand that too well. The idea of taking, and ingesting, another person's blood does not sit well with me. I have heard of things like transfusion before, from back home. But this feels
different.

I see, slowly escalate the dosage until you find the desired affect. Mm, that might be the best way to go about it.

[It was a small comfort that the girl was rational about the whole situation. Some sleepers would get far too excited and end up making dangerous mistakes in their need to fix a problem. However-- ]
Then is this a preparatory measure, so you are ready for trouble if you do decide to enjoy the Parade?

[It might help that she was thinking of how best to use it? Or maybe not. Being connected to an Eldritch God and knowing witchcraft helps. On her end, anyway.
She's still overall cautious and feeling a little... ick, about the whole thing.]

Yes.
[That was quite the pause on her own end.]
I was actually worried. About others coming for me.

You think so? It all seems equally horrific. But I suppose it could differ from person to person.
Like different people need different doses of medicine. It still sounds universal to me.

[-- he quickly filtered their conversation, as a security measure. This way, they had some degree of privacy while they spoke.]
Miss. I doubt anyone would attack someone that was newly arrived to help with what's effectively just a nuisance. The masks at the Parade gave me cat ears for a few days; they're just surface level annoyances that can be waited out with a little patience.

You think so? A new person seems like the type people might seek out for, well, "help". And some didn't seem like just a nuisance.
It's not permanent though?

I would rather not think too hard about it.
And it's not always something given away freely. I don't know about how many people would take without asking in this case, though. But I'd also rather not find out.

Forcibly taking a sleepers blood will likely add even more to the blood pollution all over town. Even if someone were inclined, the greater effects of it might deter them.
... If you really want to enjoy yourself without worry, why not ask for someone you trust to go with you?

This a very specific question, so allow me to ask one in return: Did someone here, anyone, behaved in an untoward way in your presence? I'd like to have a word with them if they tried, so it won't happen again.
Maybe. But you have a choice over that part, don't you?
[ choosing to ethically source one's virgin blood, he means. ]
I haven't been here very long, but plenty of horrible things just seem to people. It seems like the smartest thing you could do is control what you can.

I would, but they're not really available to. It's fine though!
I can take care of myself just fine. I was just a little worried is all. I still want to enjoy everything, regardless!

Mr. Alex, good afternoon!
Nobody has done anything as of yet! I was just worried and curious is all; and am sorry for any misunderstanding.
I saw some of the things that people had been stuck as. And none of it looked all too comfortable. Or friendly. And I'm sure most people here are good!
But... there are probably some bad actors too. So....

There's nothing to be sorry about. It is a very valid question to ponder in current circumstances. True, most people here are fine and helpful, but it never hurts to be cautious.
As for the mask themselves, they go away after some time. I believe two days was the longest, so the solution can always be simply wait it out. The curse will dissipate on its own.

I am a professor.
I am also a Waker, someone who helps people that recently arrived here.
It means nothing here, but I'd be willing to accompany you if you felt more comfortable having a teacher around.
