SCAWWY 😱 tomi

[concoctive]

In the earliest recordings of the Language of Flowers, foxgloves symbolized riddles, conundrums, and secrets, but by the Victorian era they had devolved into the more negative symbol of insincerity. Foxgloves give us digitalin, a glysoside used to treat heart disease, and this powerful plant has been used for heart tonics since Celtic and Roman times. However, the plant is poisonous if consumed directly, and can cause a number of health problems.

[ we are at the spooky shrek swamp. not IN it but like, they did have to get their things back somehow. ]

Ah, shit, now it's gonna get all infected.

[ WE REALLY AREN'T IN A HYGENIC PLACE AFTER ALL ]

[concoctive]

[ looking at this and frowning deeply at this. terrible swamp. the things that are stuck. ]

Hopefully not... there's some running water, if we need to clean stuff off, but not great still. I miss home and its clear waters already...

[ and then he looks around like HELLO, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT THEY CAN USE ]

[cashcab]

[ at least the blood sacrifice was tiny... but like, what if his finger gets infected and falls off????? what if spreads to his whole hand?? ]

Yeah, I half expect the water here to be full of tetanus or whatever.

[concoctive]

[ he's got a very small bandage made from a thin strip torn from his robe wrapped around his own finger at the moment. he made something out of one of the flowers in his crown for it. ]

Tetanus? [ lmao ] Most boiling will clear stuff up in water, but at least my flower crown had yarrow in it. It's good for astringents. Maybe someone has stuff for detoxifying water.

[cashcab]

It'd be easier just to get something from the pharmacy, but I'm gonna assume there just isn't one here in blood-sacrifice-town. [ despair ] Never had to do like, boil water and make medicine out of berries like it's the 1700's.

[concoctive]

[ blinks slowly ]

There's... not another way to do it? I mean, you wanna use the right berries, otherwise you're gonna be having the shits for days if not something worse. But that's how we apothecaries do things.

Which, the least they could've done is let me keep all my concoctions if they were gonna do this to us.

[cashcab]

[ haha. what the fuck. ]

Pretty sure there's machines and such that make 'em now.

[concoctive]

[ squints at him like he's trying to decide if tomi is ful of shit or not. ]

... this is gonna be like speakers, ain't it. We don't have machines for making medicine, that's why we got apothecaries with their medicines and clerics with their healing magic.

[cashcab]

[ i mean he is but not for this reason ]

Oh, are you from somewhere more... [ slight pause. um. ] -- Rural?

[ completely ignoring the healing magic thing ]

[concoctive]

You can say I'm a hick, s'fine.

Backwater as backwater can be, at least in the Riverlands. I'm kinda getting used to nobody knowing where that is, though.

[cashcab]

Well that's kinda vague. Lots of lands with rivers.

[concoctive]

[ thinks about it ]

...

Y'know, I guess that's fair. Riverlands, Cliftlands, Woodlands, Coastlands... Frostlands, Flatlands... man, we really went with a real dumb naming theme, huh.

[cashcab]

Dumb but to the point. We call the island of Hawaii the 'big island' since it's the biggest in the chain, so I guess I don't have a leg to stand on.

[concoctive]

I mean, at least it's a name that means something instead of "hey, this is the land of rivers!"

Shucks, I grew up in Clearbrook, and it's got brooks and streams and rivers all around it. Not real creative. Figure Flamesgrace probably got named that because that's where the main cathedral of the Church of the Sacred Flame is.

[cashcab]

Okay, but Flamesgrace sounds pretty cool. The name, anyway, I can't really speak to the church stuff.

WEEK 0, FRIDAY

[cashcab]

Man, this is fucked up.

[ hey man how's it going ]

W1, MONDAY

[cashcab]

Now this is much better than the village.

[ yaey beach :) ]

[concoctive]

[ HELP I MISSED THE FRIDAY ONE I'M SORRY TOMI!!!!! I'M SORRY KELSEY!!!!! ]

Man, you look way more in your element like this. [ said while he's undoing the straps on the sides of his boots, so that he can get them off. ]

[cashcab]

[ me setting you up for failure by doing pcs at bedtime on friday IT'S FINE SNOW ILU!!! ]

Hell yeah I am. I couldn't stand one more day in that coldass spooky village. Now I don't have to worry about my feet freezing off.

W1, THURSDAY

[cashcab]

[ WE'RE IN THE VOID IT DOESNT MATTER AAAAA ]

Shit, dude, what happened to you?!

[concoctive]

[ RUNS BACK IN FOR MY TOMI ]

... you got the time for it tonight? [ the weakest joke, as he sits in the void working on cleaning his shoulder injury through the open collar of his shirt. it's not bloody it's just getting some salve put on it to numb the pain. ] I really... I dunno how it happened. I was just walkin' through the fog, headin' from the village to the island, and then I just wasn't in Scawwy anymore.

WEEK 3, MONDAY

[cashcab]

[ guess we're in the fuckinnnggg hollowed city, wherever you want. ]

Sure is a lot of tree names for some reason.

[concoctive]

Probably some kinda omen, or they worshipped somethin' related to trees..?

[ squinting around this city, hand on his axe but not drawn from the back of his belt because he doesn't trust anything after what happened to ishtar. ]

This place is so huge.
