Nightshade - Private Voice

[minesprettier]

I have a theory about the cause for the more interesting effects seen on the network lately, since things from Tuesday can be easily linked to the cupcakes many people were gifted with. But rather than go public with incomplete information, I'd like to ask this from a small group first. Have you eaten a golden apple recently? If so, did you experience anything unusual shortly after eating it? If not, I'd like you to refrain from doing so unless you're completely comfortable with the risk you're taking.

I would simply ask the one who gave the apples, but I haven't been able to reach Eris lately and I believe she may have lost her connection with the community altogether. Some people are likely to miss her far more than others.

[OOC: His side effect of eating it is that he's both more talkative and more truthful. I only ask that anything he reveals about his other job/the real reason for his injuries remains a secret between Chloe and your character if those topics come up.]

You might want to avoid apples for the time being

[redlikecrimson]

And you ate an apple not that long ago.

I suppose we will have to keep an eye on the food and make sure that it's something we actually purchased before eating it.

[sky_protector]

I probably would anyway since we don't have any fruit in the apartment since my father is at the lab and forgets to shop.

And I haven't purchased any fruit lately because it's easier to eat other things while I study.

[minesprettier]

That's probably a good idea. And compared to how my day's going, I think I would rather have turned into an animal or gone blind.

[minesprettier]

It's not exactly healthy to avoid other things while you study, though.

[redlikecrimson]

I think we should keep you away from Michel until your twenty-four hours are up.

[sky_protector]

I know that. I'll eat them later after this test at school.

[minesprettier]

I already planned on it. It'll be easier on both of us.

[redlikecrimson]

I think it will be easier on all of us in the end.

[minesprettier]

If you don't, I'm tempted to visit you and deliver better food myself.

[minesprettier]

I think I've already traumatized Ken without intending to.

[sky_protector]

...Why does everyone want to deliver food to me?

[redlikecrimson]

I noticed that actually.

What are your plans for the rest of the day, Chloe?

[minesprettier]

I suspect it's because we remember being teenagers and how willing we were to ignore proper nutrition because there were other more important things going on.

[sky_protector]

I'm not ignoring it though. I just prefer to eat something that I can just eat while I work.

You usually have to prepare fruit so you can get it out of your hand quickly.

[minesprettier]

Reading, talking to anyone else who can see this entry, and generally trying to answer as few questions as possible until I return to normal.

[minesprettier]

Only if you feel the need to peel or slice it beforehand. Otherwise, all you need is to keep a trash can nearby to throw out inedible parts.

[redlikecrimson]

Good idea.

Do you want me to get you anything?

[sky_protector]

But then I have to hold it.

[minesprettier]

Not right now. But maybe you can tell me how best to apologize to Ken for what I said.

[minesprettier]

Don't you have to hold anything you eat?

[wasabloodknight]

... at least it's not like everyone else could hear it this time.

[redlikecrimson]

I think it would be best to wait until to tomorrow then talk to him.

[sky_protector]

Yes. But the amount of time holding it is different.

[minesprettier]

I know better than to be that embarrassing even when I'm spilling my thoughts to everyone. Not many people can see this.
