Quote Trace was removed from Janice by the Qhoral Queen. She's managed to get a little sliver of her soul out of the Queen's clutches, and currently is doing her best to help Cruz. Just now, Knight of Iron said: Cruz was taken aback by the sudden expression, but it didn't go unappreciated. He hugged her back and whispered, "You're going to be alright, Trace." "Promise?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"What's... wrong with Vespyr?" @Fallapede "Well, to begin with, Vespyr has a severe chemical dependency on a number of horribly addictive substances. In addition, their physiology appears to be warped in ways that I cannot claim to understand at the moment. To be perfectly honest, I am completely unaware of what is happening to Vespyr at the moment, but it appears to be purely psychosomatic in nature. My knowledge of such areas is rather limited, but I shall render such assistance as I am able." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote You're really gonna make me explain the concept of addiction to a 13 year old, aren't you. "It is not that simple, child. Their body is as dependent on Nectar as yours is on breathing. To go without it entirely would kill them. My hope is that I can slowly and continuously lower the dosage, in order to lower their tolerance and mitigate the effects of withdrawal. This will be a long and difficult process even if it is sucessful, and I cannot honestly say that I am confident that I will succeed." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if that's true, tell me where you are so I can come punish you properly. Vespyr ignored Janice. Speaking to her would give the child away to the Queen, but he waved at her. “I apologize for the inconvenience. I die without your influence, as she did.” Janice sputtered, "Wh--what? No, you can't die!" Vespyr removed his mask and glared eyelessly at her. She was getting in the way of a conversation she didn’t even understand was happening!

Channelknight Fadran Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Janice sat down, but being the impatient tiny adolescent that she was, she immediately got up again and started looking around. There had to be some way to get back to her friends faster... A thought jumped into her head. A really stupid one. Wasn't there a thing called mail? She grabbed a piece of paper and a pen. She pressed the nib to the end, and then remembered something rather important: she couldn't write. @Fallapede 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the Queen could hear Vespyr’s surroundings. Living alone had never provided an opportunity for Vespyr to test how the connection worked. Ah, well. The experimentation had been worth a shot. “The girl is dead to you. A worthless pile of uneducated flesh strapped to a frail skeleton piloted by a rash, impulsive fragment of a mind. A god would not be so foolish to waste resources murdering children for no gain. But then... you have always been exactly that foolish.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
