Has anyone found a way to burn things yet?

[ The voice that comes over the network is clearly exhausted, an almost husky rasp to the words that are slightly muffled, as if her mouth might be covered by a layer of fabric. ]

Because I'd love to get rid of these damn flowers and burning them sounds really cathartic right now.

[ She sounds weary, frustrated, and a little bit sick. And for good reason: one of the perks of being a vampire is an enhanced sense of smell. ]

Alternatively, are there any magic users out there who could set up a ward or something to keep this smell out?

[ She's skeptical but also desperate. He's getting a pass on this one. ]

Okay, if you promise me you don't have any broken bones or missing limbs, then I won't tip off your jailer about your great escape plan.

[itselbitch]

Ahaha, what are you saying, El? You would definitely make sure I don't somehow break a rule I said I'd follow, right?

[ why does this sound really forced... ]

[otrazhenie]

I'm noticing a lack of assurances about those broken bones.

[itselbitch]

Oh. Right.

My bones are definitely in tact and still within the confines of my body.

[ displaced a bit? maybe. but what he said isn't a lie! ]

[otrazhenie]

Thank you.

And... thank you. Really.

you're the one who was talking about negotiating your release. are you seriously sneaking out?? eliot! I was just joking about the escape plan, not giving you ideas!

[itselbitch]

look q has to sleep at some point

and I'd rather not have you stuck smelling ass for the foreseeable future since it's not like Rome was built in a day

[ ...equating his body to rome is somehow not the most ridiculous thing eliot has ever done. ]

[otrazhenie]

I appreciate that, but now I really need you to tell me how badly you're hurt

Re: private

[ he physically sighs, which hurts, and he hates it. ]

okay, maybe I'm not ready to compete in the Olympics, but I literally arrived here with a cane and it's not like I don't know how to use it

[ And suddenly she's afraid for him, worried that he'll overdo it and hurt himself further — or worse. Magic isn't something to mess around with. Bonnie made that mistake. ]

will doing this kind of magic hurt you? will it make your injuries worse? please don't lie.

private

[itselbitch]

I don't think it would make them worse

think of it like
idk

standing up after running 10 miles the night before?

private

[otrazhenie]

okay...

can I help? would you let me try to?

private

[itselbitch]

help?

like how?

private

[otrazhenie]

vampire blood can heal people. I haven't tried it here yet so maybe it'll just be kinda gross, or maybe it'll speed things up for you.

private

[itselbitch]

oh
I'm not really grossed out by the idea?
but I mean it's probably more because Anne Rice ruined the concept to me so it can't be anything but sexy to me now

which I know isn't what you mean but

anyway

what would I have to do? just drink it?

private

[otrazhenie]

okay, first, I have to say that with the way I'm feeling right, there is very little that could possibly make me laugh

but you just did.

yes, you just drink it. I used to do it all the time before I turned, anytime someone tried to kill me or I had to stab myself to prove a point.

private

[itselbitch]

[ he beams to himself since no one else can see. ]

I aim to please

wait so
but it still tastes like blood, right?
or is this ACTUALLY like the Anne Rice thing where it tastes different somehow if done in the right way

private

[otrazhenie]

sorry to disappoint but it still just tastes like blood. hence why it's a bit gross at first. and hopefully, you won't have reason to get used to it the way I did.
