[early Sunday, post-merge]

You guys are going to find out sooner or later so I might as well tell you myself.

I'm the Vahishta, as of yesterday.

So I guess welcome to the club, self.

[... uh]

[does Nyx have sleeping potion on hand or is that completely unethical. actually, he's more concerned Duncan is in the middle of something important.]

I'm serious. This is a lot to process. It'll be easier to handle if you're well rested.

[inchesofevil]

I'm serious too.

I went through the hospital last night. The whole hospital. I cured everyone.

Not everyone, just the serious ones. The necroticorn stuff. Me, and a few other clerics Gabe brought, and Marlene for her mana restores.

I'm exhausted.

I sat down for a couple minutes to get some rest. Dozed off in the waiting room.

Have you ever read about the Denizen, Rhys?

[brokencrescendo]

[something important indeed]

Only the basics. Did something happen?

Head's up.

[a few moments after he sends this, he sends a dragon mail too. it's actually signed the Ahura (he forgot to sign it himself) and contains no message, just the requested latte]

[inchesofevil]

[omg latte yesss Rhys you are his best friend right now.]

Thanks man, you're a bro.


I met it.

No amount of reading can prepare you for what that's like.

That was the first time I tried to sleep after. It lasted five seconds.

[brokencrescendo]

[it's what he does]

Wait, you were resurrecting?

Do you need me to get you some sort of portable nightlight?

[100% serious question. he realizes how it sounds.]

Victor and his cleric. They had trouble sleeping after. Said nothing about the Denizen, though.

[inchesofevil]

How do you think the new Vahishta proves it?

I don't think a nightlight will help. That waiting room was bright as day.

[brokencrescendo]

[ouch]

Sorry.

If there's anything that might help, let me know. I'll be around Bastan. If you can't get rest, at least ask for a decent meal.

[inchesofevil]

Yeah.

Shit, yeah, I'm starving. I didn't even realize until you said it. I'll get something.

Do you know if there's anything that'll give you dreamless sleep? I guess that's more Nix's area...

[brokencrescendo]

More her area, yeah. I just saw her the other day. If she's not still around, we at least have warps working. And dragon mail, finally.

Vitality potions might help, too.

[inchesofevil]

Damn, Nix too? Is everyone in Bastan right now?

[brokencrescendo]

We're still cleaning up. And, uh, sorry about the mess.

[inchesofevil]

It's cool. I brought you guys a pandemic. I think we're even.

Don't get sick.

[brokencrescendo]

At least I don't have to worry about the stomach flu.

I'll be careful.

[inchesofevil]

ha ha ha because you ate a god-stomach I get it

Are we all just completely fucking insane, by the way? Tearing a guy's heart out of his chest and then eating it raw was pretty much the nastiest thing I've ever done in my life, this coming from a guy who grew up on a family farm.

How did you even stomach it?

(see what i did there)

(i am so tired right now)

[brokencrescendo]

Yes Duncan.

I see it.

I don't know. Probably. At least you guys could claim there was a precedent. I was just

[...]

trusting my gut instinct.

[inchesofevil]

FUCK oh my god the bishop is giving me this fucking death glare right now

Fuck you

That wasn't even funny enough for me to be laughing this hard

[brokencrescendo]

[not sure if smug or more worried]

Just make sure you get that meal.

[inchesofevil]

Right, yeah, food. I'll ask Nix about a potion, too.

[brokencrescendo]

Good plan. Let us know if you need anything else.

[inchesofevil]

Sure thing.

Thanks again for the latte.
