[Appearing on screen is one Dr. Jezebel Disraeli, who looks thoroughly irritated. He also looks mildly disheveled and sickly, somehow appearing even thinner than his normal lanky appearance. Behind him, a large dog paces and whines, glancing at his owner all the while.]

So. I surely can't be the only person in this damned place who is completely unable to eat. Or eat food, rather.

If it's not the whole town, then I assume it is those who share my blood type, since that seems to determine everything around here. Vileblood, I believe I am called.

In any event: I believe I have stumbled upon a solution for those who might be afflicted.

[With pained grimace of a smile, he holds up a set of vials in his palm.]

Arsenic. Cyanide. Strychnine. All of which are deadly poisons, and all of which seem to be the only thing I can eat without wanting to promptly pass out on the spot. I imagine anyone else afflicted will be the same, since this does seem to be the sort of sick joke we would be afflicted with.

So, if anyone is in need of a poison or two, I suppose I can assist. I have a decent supply.

Before anyone asks: yes, I do have a lot of poisons.

Yes, I study poisons and made some of them myself.

No, I have not poisoned anyone in the town.

Although, believe me, I've been tempted.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

There is a library, I have heard, that may be good for such pursuits. The scholars there surely have a hundred theories, yes? If one is patient for such things.

[Personally, he's not sure he is, which is why the whole comment has an air of teasing about it.

The static settles down.]

I am interested, and I do care. [You never knew when you might need poisons. To...eat, apparently. Sometimes.] What do you have to hand and what are your prices?

I have quite the stash of cyanide, strychnine, and arsenic, among others, so I have little worry that I will run out.

I am less interested in monetary payment than I am in trades and bargains. What would you be willing to trade for such vials?

Hm. Any wolfsbane or nightshade? I could hope for othalam, but I do not know if they have this here.

Information, favors, or goods? I am a Darkblood, as well, if you will take that in trade.

You are in luck -- I have a belladonna plant, perfect for providing nightshade.

I have not yet experimented with blood other than my own -- if you are willing to provide a vial of darkblood, then I would be happy to arrange a trade.

Good! It is a trade. To where am I bringing this vial of blood? [He supposes he could hire a courier, but that may also be a great way for it to go missing, given Darkblood's relative value.]

We can meet in the Willful Machine, if you like. It seems that is the most place for trades in these parts.

I have noticed this, yes. I will wait at the Lamp for you--unless you have another place you would prefer. Quieter, maybe.

The Lamp is perfectly suitable to me. I shall be there shortly, then, unless you would like to meet later.

Now will do; it is not so large an errand as to need postponing.

[He'll just collect a vial of Darkblood he already has to hand and hop the Lamp to Willful Machine. There to wait at the Lamp on the other side, with all the patience of a thing long-dead.]

Very well then. I shall see you shortly, then. If you encounter any delays, I will have my device with me.

[ooc: Action this out, or leave it here?]

Well enough. I will be in touch, if so.

((ooc: we can leave this one here! I look forward to threading with Jezebel again though. :D))
