SCAWWY 😱 kate

Nowadays the hellebore plant has strong associations with serenity, peace, and tranquility, but this has not always been the case. In Victorian times the flowers of the hellebore plant signified delirium, and some cultures today still see the flowers as representing stress, anxiety, and scandal. Also known as the midnight ruffle, black hellebore leaves, root, and underground stem (rhizome) are used to make medicine. Be careful not to confuse this plant with white hellebore, which has been used as a poison. Despite serious safety concerns, people take black hellebore for nausea, worms, kidney infections, colds, and constipation.

... Yes. It's terrifying.

[ studying him... not like he can tell. ]

Are you... all right?

[ he - pauses, and then looks at her with a smile. or an attempt thereof, anyways, since it's kind of a grimace. ]

... one of our friends that died this weekend was my partner, I think. Things hurt real bad after the ritual ended, and now the monster's just. Lonely, if that makes sense.

[sootprints]

Ah...

I'm sorry. That sounds horrible...

Do you know who it was?

[concoctive]

[ shaking his head and considering it for a moment, before patting the spot next to him on his perch. pyre bench? log at the ranch? something like that. ]

No idea. I'm gonna see if I can get a hint, or just... confirm it. But I guess it's worth knowin', right, what happens? So that others can know. Especially with the update to the rules.

[ ie; we can share that our partners have died with those that we've already shared our monsters with ]

[ she sits down with him! ]

Hmm... I wonder if it would be inappropriate to make a guess.

[concoctive]

[ thinks... ]

We lost Pickles, Mr. Ichiban, Karma, Erin, and Nona... so, I wonder who'd fit the whole "golem" thing best.

[sootprints]

Well...

I was wondering if it could be someone who carried paint around, "just in case"...

[concoctive]

[

frowns softly, a little sad. ]

Maybe. I wish I could've asked him. I wonder if the overseers would tell me if I asked.

[sootprints]

I wonder. It would be nice to get that confirmation.

[ a thoughtful pause, and she adds, ]

... He kept a pen in his shoe, too. I remember thinking it was an odd place for it.

[concoctive]

He was an odd kinda kid.

Tryin' to be prepared for anythin', with different options of things to draw with... could make sense like that.

[sootprints]

Yes... he was. I think it would explain a little bit of his odd behavior, at least.
