Yo. It is I, the kid who talked about the mystery of toilets and sentient plants. What's up?

So, uh, turns out I'm pretty shit at cooking, so I was wondering if anyone around here would mind helping me out? You can be my substitute mom, or whatever.

Don't have much to trade you, unless you know about Privileged Blood. Can teach you about some spells, too. Mostly basic stuff, but useful stuff, guaranteed. You can use my blood an' everything.

Anyway, you cook for me, I do Crafts for you. Sounds pretty fair to me.

Many thanks.

What the fuck is privileged blood?

[nightblogs]

[squints.]

You're not a cop or anything, are you?

[acapriciousthing]

I'm pretty good in the kitchen. And probably tell you a thing or two about magic in my universe.

[nightblogs]

Then I don't think I got much to offer ya.

[acapriciousthing]

I'm offering anyway.

[nightblogs]

Okay. Why? You bored or something?

[darkart]

[ What the. He remembers this ID. ]

Why would you offer to give people your blood in a community full of people whose origins and abilities you know nothing about?

[gilding]

And why, exactly, do you think your blood would be worth trade?

[acapriciousthing]

Well, I don't sleep, so it leaves an awful lot of free time. But I just like people.

[nightblogs]

How come y'don't sleep? [are you an insomniac!!]

[nightblogs]

My cooking is just that shitty.

[but he gets what you mean

he's just more of an idiot than careful]

[nightblogs]

I already told you. It's Privileged Blood - you can do all sorts of potions and spells with it. It's more powerful than just normal blood.

[beat.]

It also gets you stupidly high. If that's your sorta thing.

What is Privileged Blood?
And you'd be better off asking someone to teach you how to cook.

[darkart]

I will teach you something if you rescind your offer.

[ MERLIN H CHRIST, YOU NUT ]

I'm not human, I'm an anthropomorphic personification.

[Hey Hyperion; long time no see. Pepper's voice sounds a bit distracted, but also curious.]

What do you know about dying cloths?

[No, seriously, she has a whole bunch of hooker red outfits that need to be dyed to ... any other color.]

[rancorously]

What do you mean by Privileged Blood?

[gilding]

[This is interesting. Blood magic, where Gold is from, while incredibly potent, is usually a matter of limitations - in power holders or in targets. The idea of blood as any kind of universal ingredient is a strange one.]

I'm going to make the guess that you offering yourself up as a source means you don't have much understanding of the hows and whys.

[Otherwise he'd be making the potions and spells himself, and offering those as trade.]

[nightblogs]

Right. Now what I wanna know is what you eat.

[nightblogs]

Teach me what?

[nightblogs]

Nope. Like I said, I only know the basic stuff.

[Not quite enough to be one of those crazy craftsmen who rely on magic to do everything.

Or like his brother, who turned to dark magic a couple of years ago.]

What about you?

[nightblogs]

Dunno, it's nice to have someone do that stuff for you. Like my mom used to. Call it bein' hungry and homesick.

[yep!]

Anyway, Privileged Blood's pretty much magic fairy dust blood. It can get you high, it can get you the best potions out there. Depends on what your thing is.

[pause.]

Also, Priv-blood ain't illegal up here, so you can't report me to the cops.

[nightblogs]

Dying clothes? [uh.] Dunno, never done it before.

[nightblogs]

Priv-blood. Magic blood. Blood that does magic stuff.

[why does nobody knowww

oh right different universes]

[specialism]

Magic fairy dust blood.
