@demogrit,       (melusine's dark irises stare at the girl for a bit longer.  hanging limb in hand,  which most certainly belonged to a man.  although all there was left of him was this piece of carcass that's soon to be devoured as well.)    i'm afraid i can't perform an active demonstration again.  there's no one else here to test that on,    (a smile drawn on sanguine lips and teeth,  canines that sink back into skin and bone.  it offers a deafening crunch before he swallows.)    

@salvague     mm,  no.   i’m sure you could do better 

@demogrit,     something like that.   it’s really just a defense mechanism.  to us it just stings but..       who knows what it would do to you.  shock,   poison,     all of the above..   wouldn’t want to take the chance..   /again/

@kingsarc      how so,   if you don’t mind me asking?    is it almost like  ..  a dangerous repellent?

@demogrit,     forest rinnick made.     not entirely cursed but it reacts funny to..   well,  non dragonlords

@eadimidium     mm..   yeah,   i’m fine.   ow,  your knife is sharp

@saintoire      thanks ..    [she would mumble,  yet nonetheless tilting her head back so at least the blood wouldn’t ruin her second shirt of the day]   since they won’t stop or seem to go away anytime soon,   i’m ..   experimenting with it,   and so far i’ve come to a conclusion.   the stronger the entity,   the more it bleeds

@dragarc      a beldam.   well,    more so the remains of one ..    —- long story,   you weren’t supposed to witness this

@vampirte    [luckily,   dylan kept a small packet of tissues in her pocket,   to which she held one up to her nose.    this nose bleed,   unlike the others,   was light and would subside soon.  once she felt the blood flow lighten and ultimately halt for now,   she crumpled the tissue into her fist]    it’s what i do.   well,   what we all do here.   we hunt and slay demonic entities and supernaturals,    mainly demons though,   unless a supernatural poses a imminent threat 

@demogrit          [there’s a tilt of her head at the response,   hues of amber assessing the other in silence,   continuing so until she was ready to regard the other’s presence once more.]     how peculiar,     [a whisper,   perhaps brought forth by unbridled intrigue.     regardless,   she continues,   pressing further with a biting edge.]     excuse my callousness,   but,   what warrants you to stand face-to-face with the unknown this often?

@vampirte      lately,   yeah      .. it’s a not so pleasant sign when an inhuman entity is near     —-    so you.

@likeholy     a lot better,   with your help.   i also found out the source of my  ..   issues,   with some experimenting

@demogrit     mm.  [he settled comfortably beside her once she was sitting upright.  lifting the tea and offering it over]    as long as it’s working,      that’s all i care about ..       gwen really cares,     she said it took like.. a good forty five minutes  to make it right 

@reapsowed      as nasty at it tastes,   it helps.   it’s like taking a shot ..    don’t let it linger in your mouth for too long and just drink.   [upon careful hands in means to help her up from her practical fetal position,   hands would wrap around his forearms to pull herself up]   only downside of it is it makes me want to sleep for the next one hundred consecutive years

@demogrit,     yeah..  i’ll think next time before i snag a sip of your drinks    [he sets the tea mug on the coffee table,        shifting to her side and reaching out to help her sit up]       she really is like a mom,       making you drink that crap..  

@demogrit      could be a hybrid..  which is, rare and unlikely given the ancient rivalry vampires and werewolves have.  just a theory..    or its a creature we haven’t come across yet,     i was reading up on writings from the past exorcists and hunters —-    maybe..      runners are resurfacing or..   [he’d let his assumptions die out with a shrug,  turning away from the bodiless witch even with her covered.  it was still gruesome and quite frankly? he just hated witches.  more than demons arguably and they were both forces to be reckoned with, instead he kept his eyes on her.  she was easier on the eyes for one and more welcoming]    ..  they’re still bothering you?    

@reapsowed     that is true,   those hexes are pure evil.   but i want to find out  /what/  did it.  the feeding pattern is more of a vampire’s style,   yet the teeth marks and bite force indicate a werewolf     —nothing we’ve seen before,  i don’t think.   [setting the head back down on the table before them,   she finds the closest thing she could to some sort of sheet to cover her face,   pale and cold.   grey eyes wide open,   even in death.   while she didn’t like witches too much,  she still believed in that king of respect for the dead so she covered her face]    when the migraines subside,   i’ll figure it out.   

@demogrit,       [there’s a visible grimace on his face,     and a faint gag that follows suit the very minute her hand touched the witch’s head. he never did like witches.   they were nothing but the devil’s disciples,    and that was the truth]    whatever it was,      it should keep doing ..  this.  dead witches means a safer hunt  ..   [he couldn’t really tell what was the cause of this,   werewolves had a strong bite, sure.. but they never did just bite and leave,     that was a vampire thing.     they were animals who ate from each and every part,   but the head was left untouched it was simply ..    off] 

@likeholy    maybe tea,  but other than that i think i’ll be okay,   they typically go away after a good while and don’t bleed too much,   so it’s the least of my worries

@demogrit,     uhh..  give or take.    if it does just tissue it away. ..      you want anything?    water? tea? ..   

@likeholy      will do,   i’m not allowing myself to suffer by an imaginary vice squeezing at my head.    and the nosebleeds.    will those go away with the headaches?
