There's a supernatural touch to it. Trust me.

But yeah, it's practically a war. Two different fractions going at it. That kinda thing.

[He meant 'factions'. Be nice and don't correct him, he thinks he sounds smart there.]

... You really think so? I guess people say that a lot. It's always "oh my god Charlie, that was poisonous!" or "how did you survive that fall?" or "I can't believe you ate magnets and didn't explode your guts!". Things like that.

[droptheious]

[He COULD be an asshole and correct him, but Varian is only like...5% sure of what Charlie is even talking about, so he's going to let this slide. ]

Huh. I never knew. Guess that's something to learn about... assuming this place has a library.

[Enjoy being smarter than Varian, Charlie, enjoy it.]

I do think that a lot every time I hear one of your stories. Honestly, if I had my lab I'd kinda want to take a blood sample to try and understand why you're not dead yet.

[kingoftherats]

I mean... You can have some blood if you want. Kinda sucks when I need to do it, but if it's for a good cause...

You got a blood bucket anywhere?

[What was that about being smarter than Varian?

Either way, this bitch is still standing on one foot.]

[droptheious]

[...Charlie why.]

Wh- no! And I don't need a bucket!! A sample is maybe a syringe-full at most. God, Charlie, I don't want to drain you of it, you need that.

And it's fine, it can wait til' I have a lab set up again.

[He's not going to stop him. Varian is genuinely curious to see how long he can manage this for. ]

[kingoftherats]

Seriously? You just want a little bitty amount like that?

How're you gonna test on something that small? I can totally give you a bucket of it, it's not gonna kill me. I mean, I'll probably be sick for a while, but I've lived through shit loads worse.

[droptheious]

[Oh, sweet jesus. Varian starts waving his arms wildly.]

Charlie, no! I don't want a bucket of your blood. Believe me, I don't need a bucket! I'd just need a tiny little bit. A bucket would go to waste.

[kingoftherats]

Well aaaalright. If you say so. Still think it's a waste to not get more, but whatever. You can be wrong about it if you want.

[A pause.]

How long has it been, again?

[droptheious]

If I need more I will ask for it, I promise. Just...please do not make yourself suffer from blood loss on my account.

[He pulls out a little bone pocketwatch. It...doesn't actually work, but it's mostly there for show. Varian's been keeping count.]

You're about seven minutes in. Nearly there.

[kingoftherats]

[He throws up an 'OK!' signal, giving a firm nod.]

You got it, man.

I think I finally know how flamingos feel. This is kinda peaceful.

[He's a little wobbly. But he's also high. So.]

omg Ashlee what is that icon

[droptheious]

[Okay, Charlie, that gets a proper laugh out of him. ]

I can't say I've ever felt peaceful like a flamingo before, but I'll try to keep that one in mind.

...Nearly there. What're you gonna do with the potion once you have it? Shenanigans?

what ISN'T that icon???

[kingoftherats]

I'm gonna use it to cause a distraction.

Then I'm gonna steal a shitload of beer!

[you asked, varian]

TRUE

[droptheious]

...Of course, you are.

[If you ask stupid questions, Varian...

He snaps closed his pocket watch, pocketing it again, clapping his hands together.]

Okay, you did it! Congrats, you've proven...some kinda point.
