so everyone's cool with the squid thing
like everyone just collectively agreed that was okay
and went with it
that's a thing people just live with in this crappy city

Oh, nice. I didn't know we had weed around.

[It's fun on occasion, but like many things, he's not that interested in it outside of a social setting.]

I don't really cook, but I know it's not easy to grow plants around here.
Must've been good business in spices, too.

[venatoris]

Yeah, I've got this...plant thing that just keeps replenishing itself. It's pretty cool.

I guess my previous self and Cas were pretty good at it. They kept a journal, thank God. I don't know how to garden to save my life.

[eudaimonikos]

Can't help you there. I used to like keeping houseplants, but they were easy.

[Mostly because he was like, creating them out of thin air? If the architect wants the plants to be alive, they're gonna stay alive, that's just it.]

One of my giant cactuses from the dream showed up here, too, but I don't think it can really die.
I mean, I'm pretty sure it wasn't supposed to be growing in Maine, either.

[venatoris]

I think I liked that, too. There's some weird plants in here.

Or...Cas did. I'm not really sure.

[ that's one way to deal with a houseplant ]

A giant cactus? Like how giant are we talkin?

[eudaimonikos]

It's like ten feet tall.
Still growing, too!
I had two in my yard before, but only one made it here. Makes for a great landmark, though - have you noticed that they don't name the streets here?

[venatoris]

damn. did you plant it in your yard here?

yeah, I have noticed that, it's a pain in the ass

[eudaimonikos]

No, just sort of appeared there.
I don't know, but it's a nice plant.

Yeah, makes navigating hard.
I can never give people great directions to my shop either. It doesn't have a giant cactus.

[venatoris]

Well at least it’s a landmark like you said

what kinda store?

[eudaimonikos]

Clothing!

I'm a Darkblood - I can make pretty much anything, if I try, but it's a lot easier now to just specialize.
It's fun to help people design custom pieces anyway!

[venatoris]

oh really? that's pretty cool. what's it called? maybe i'll stop in sometime

my blood is...blue. and really cold. i dont really know what to do with that

[eudaimonikos]

The Garb Place!
It's a joke from home.

Oh, that's Coldblood. They can do stuff with elements, like fire or ice - it varies, of course, all this stuff seems to.
Try not to shoot fire from your hands unless you mean to.

[venatoris]

Huh, cool.

fire?? Seriously?

[eudaimonikos]

Yeah!

I've heard they can enchant weapons to use fire/ice/whatever, too. Don't know anyone who's actually done it, but it sounds cool.

[venatoris]

Wow. That would be pretty awesome if I could do that. I'd be like a wizard.

[eudaimonikos]

Yeah!
Everyone's got magic here, it's sort of nice!
Little bit more of an even footing, I guess?

[venatoris]

yeah, that's true

how do you access it, are there like...teachers or something or do you just wing it and pray you don't burn the place down

[eudaimonikos]

I don't think there's any kind of formal schooling.
Not that I really looked.

If you ask around for a Coldblood, I'm sure someone would help you out!
I'd offer, but I'm a Darkblood, and I think that manifests pretty differently.

[venatoris]

yeah, it sounds like it would. this is all a little creepy.

[ he's seen weird colored blood before, been splattered with it (eugh), but not like...coming from him. ]

[eudaimonikos]

Ugh, right? Blood is so gross.

[venatoris]

right?? ugh

[ hes so squeamish sometimes ]

[eudaimonikos]

At least Darkblood is sort of a gas.
It just comes out like a cloud.
Which is weird, but it's better than being all sticky.

[venatoris]

oh man, that's WAY better, what the heck

[eudaimonikos]

It sort of looks like space dust.

[Michael isn't above a little bragging!]

[venatoris]

yeah that definitely isn't fair

[ HARRUMPH ]

[eudaimonikos]

LOL

Well, I didn't get any new elemental powers. So there's that.
