whichever asshole has been moving the buildings around, can you not do that? you're making my job really freaking hard.

( No one is moving any buildings. Clarice has just pretending she hasn't got the weird sickness everyone else has. But maybe right now she's definitely heading into delirious category. Thankfully, she knows enough not to try portalling right now. Sitting down, catching her breath, not panicking. Those are good ideas.

She needs to be distracted. )

and i'm pretty sure the body mod parlour people are trying to induct me into a cult. i don't even have pierced ears!

[spellslots]

Where are you, darling?

[viatorius]

bench.
by the cyborg tattoo parlour place.

( She just needs to sit for a second, it's all good. )

i'm okay, i just got weirdly tired for a minute there.

[spellslots]

You sure about that one, cause it's no skin off my nose if you need a ride home

[expeditiousness]

well yea that gets attention
r u ok?

un: skyenet

[evite]

do you need a map?

un: thunderbird

[tanker]

do you need me to come pick you up? are you getting sick?

[viatorius]

i'm fine.

( She is better than this! )

i'm pretty sure i just got lightheaded for a second.

[viatorius]

just dizzy.
are we having a heatwave nobody told me about?

( No, Clarice. You are succumbing to the lurgy. )

[viatorius]

no.
i know where the buildings are! they're just not where they're supposed to be right now.

( Give her a second, the moon's spinning. )

[viatorius]

i could probably portal back, i just need a second.

( N o. )

i'll call john, if i don't feel any better. maybe i've just overdone it with the deliveries.

( Although she'd much rather suck it up and deal with it. )

[spellslots]

If you're sick I think we should ixnay on the powers

If John's at work or whatever I can come get ya, I do know how to teleport and I've already been Hella exposed to this shit so you're not gonna infect me or whatever.

[viatorius]

i didn't even go near the festival, this blows.

( She remembered Taako saying it was going to be a sad one, and Clarice has had her fill of that. )

and i heard it's tiny robots which i am super unhappy about? why do tiny robots keep fucking my life up?

[evite]

is that how you found the cult?

( she's not totally convinced this girl isn't high off her rocker right now. but she'll go with it. )

do they want to pierce your ears?

[viatorius]

maybe?
they probably think i'm one of them. my face is weird enough.

[spellslots]

I dunno if Lup did either I think this shit is random

Tiny robots and magic, a great fucking combination. You should probably like, not work until you're all good again

[viatorius]

yeah.
you're probably right.
i don't want to tear down a bank again just because i'm feeling under the weather.

( It's a funny story. )

did you get sick?

[spellslots]

That sounds like a story

I'm clear so far, thank fuck

[viatorius]

when i first met the underground i was kind of running low on my own personal resources. we were trapped and i did what i could to get us out. but i'd never extended my powers like that before.

i guess i passed out? i don't remember much. they said it was shock. but i ended up stabbing a few holes through reality that should not have been there. brought half a truck into our hideout. almost brought a whole ton of bad guys too. john had to protect everyone while i did a metric ton of structural damage and didn't know it.

( DON'T WORRY, SHE WON'T DO THAT AGAIN. )

i thought this was kind of like that at first. using my power too much. which is why i am sitting and leaving space well alone.

[evite]

i'm gonna put fifty down on "it's probably not that weird"
but you realize this means you have to send over a selfie now so i can find out if i'm right

( she's seen some shit. as long as blink doesn't sprout quills like raina the human hedgehog, it'll probably be okay. )

[viatorius]

i don't think i've ever taken a selfie in my life.

[expeditiousness]

nope

[heat + dizzy sure sounds like it = sick]

u no ppl r gettin sick all over rite?

[evite]

how is that possible?
i mean, i'd get it if you were like "what is a selfie and how do i take it"
but you obviously know what it is

so

???????????????

[viatorius]

yeah, but i'm fine.
i didn't go to the festival.

( Because that matters ... )
