You do seem like the inside blood type.

[what does that mean]

I'm the same way! I'd rather get along with everyone here then start anything.

[recession]

Everyone should be the "inside blood" type.

[ Please, give a shit about yourselves. ]

That's all well and good. I think things are difficult enough without purposeful troublemakers running around.

[bookpapers]

[SOMETIMES... you gotta bleed after a cyoa]

Would be nice if we didn't have any... [thinks about karma] Dunno how long that'll last with a group this big, 'specially if no one takes charge.

[recession]

[ Stop BLEEDING. ]

Mm. I'm not really all that much of a fan of being in charge, but whatever keeps everything from going down into anarchy...

...

Not that I have any idea of where to point people towards.

[bookpapers]

You don't have to point right away! Could be something simple instead, like 'don't drink the swamp water'.

[recession]

...We spelt out the dangers in the river with what we had, so I guess I'm already ahead of you there.

[ The LEECHES warning. That was him and Ishtar. ]

Though that being said -- try not to screw around with the book in the church either. Removing it from the premises has some negative consequences.

[ That was him also. The first time. I hold no responsibility for everyone else suddenly borrowing it afterwards. ]

[bookpapers]

[!!! he immediately perks up]

Very take charge of ya. [don't tease daan... but he looks appreciative of the info, and also of course,

curious.......]

Like an injury? Or a curse?

[recession]

...Auditory hallucinations, to put it in a way. And a compulsion to return it to its original place.

[ ... ]

[bookpapers]

[...he immediately pulls a face]

...Great.

[WELL... THAT'S GREAT...]

So it is important, but we can't do anything about it.

[recession]

I'm not sure about important, but I think it would be best to leave it be.

[ AND THEN NOBODY LET IT BE. Daan is going to yell into a paper bag if everyone else keeps stealing it because he made it go missing for half a day first. ]

Not good to mess with the unknown, especially the more runes it's covered in.

[bookpapers]

[IT'S FINE DAAN THINK OF IT AS A PUBLIC LIBRARY]

I took a look at it earlier, but Lucas made me put it back. I guess I owe him...

[recession]

[ A public library that curses people and deserves to get boarded up... ]

It doesn't seem to have any ill effects in terms of purely looking inside the building itself -- just removing it from the premises makes the forces cranky.

It'd be nice to be able to at least decipher if it's worshipping a local god here, but I can't read it...

[bookpapers]

Same here. It's not like any alphabet I've seen.

[he looks a little disgruntled at this]

Maybe it's got to do with the Sabbatic Goat on those stained glass windows? Maybe it's about Baphomet.

[recession]

A god in your world?

[ Who That. ]

[bookpapers]

Kinda. A god, false idol, demon -- depends on who's using 'im. The whole goat thing's recent -- drawn by a guy named Éliphas Lévi. According to him, it's a symbol of balance between good and evil.

But before that, it was just propaganda that people from the Church accused their enemies of worshiping. Three heads with three faces, said to grant wealth to its believers. Sometimes a cat?

[recession]

[ Oh. He makes a bit of a face at the last part. ]

Cats... they're not often good news...

Guess goats are a little bizarre too.

[bookpapers]

[DAAN?]

...Do you not like cats?

[recession]

...

Not really...

[bookpapers]

[...]

What about cat girls?

[recession]

...

Do you mean Miss Izutsumi...?

[bookpapers]

So you’ve met her already… How’d that go?

[recession]

I was startled, but it isn't as if I've got something against her specifically.

[ There's something here that's kind of like... well... he's a little embarrassed. ]

[bookpapers]

…Did she take her clothes off in front of you?

[what other possible reason could he have to be embarrassed]

[recession]

[ Do you think about words before they come out of your mouth, my good sir? ]

O-of course not! Why would she do that?

[bookpapers]

[LISTEN YES HE DOES]

I don’t think she cares about nudity like we do.

[guess who had to see her take her clothes off]
