that’s unlike you.

@torturedmagician       [  standing  there  for  a  moment,  dain's  brows  furrow.  any  card?   his  hand  instinctively  reaches  for  a  card  on  the  right,  pulling  it  out  of  the  bunch.  ace  of  spades.   ]   alright,  i  know  my  card.  is  this  the  part  where  i  put  it  back  into  the  deck?

@butcherit   oh.   [ the smell is nausea-inducing,   to say the least.   it'd been a while since she smelled fish (much was ROTTEN fish),   so it didn't immediately register. ]   is it any place i know?   is it local?

@lacrymosas      rotten  fish.  unfortunately,  i  have..  incompetent  colleagues  in  my  line  of  work,  so  they  forget  to  weed  out  the  bad  fish  from  the  good  fish.  it's  mostly  what  we  specialise  in—-  after  all,  i  work  in  a  sushi  restaurant.

@hyrded      first  time  i've  seen  someone  so  passionate  for  chopping.ᐟ  since  you  seem  to  be  enjoying  this  so  much,  why  don't  you  give  it  a  go?

not really.    doctors don’t even get accustomed to dead bodies,  they just know not to panic. 　[ she steps back, ] 　you don’t need to pay me back.    you should be celebrating that you still have your fingers — though i could’ve stitched them back pretty easily.

@ohbunnys       maybe.  still,  though—-  don't  you  think  that  as  a  chef,  one  should  grow  accustomed  to  dead  fish?  [  glancing  upwards,  dain  tightens  his  hand  before  relaxing  it,  bicep  flexing  beneath  the  bandages.  seems  good.   ]   i  promise,  i  will.  i'll  make  sure  everyone's  careful  too.  now,  how  can  i  pay  you  back?

by working in a vegetarian restaurant ? 　[ she shruges, finishing by wrapping gauze around the cleaned cut. ] 　you’re welcome.    it’s my job and all — you still need to be more careful.

/   @prodiqal    smooches  you !!!

@prodiqal       y'know,  it  ╱really╱  doesn't  seem  like  that.   [  dain  sighs,  rubbing  his  temples.  normally,  he'd  never  do  this.  but  he'd  rather  not  have  someone  seem  so  out  of  it  in  front  of  guests.  ]  come  in  to  the  back,  and  tell  me  what's  going  on  there.  clearly,   you  don't  seem  fine.

n-no.    yeah.    'm j—    um,    need t'...    call someone.    th-thanks.    *    oz stares at the phone screen,    frozen.    who is he supposed to call?    *    ...    y—    it's,    um.    'm fuh-fine.

@prodiqal     uhh..  sure,  yeah.  here,  it's  unlocked.  is—-  are  you  alright?  you  seem  awfully  panicky.  is  everything  okay?

/ㅤ@butcherit,  bites you
