un: jonas. cw: blood chatter.

[coherer]

ik this is going to sound like an episode of 60 Minutes that never got aired, but I have smelled worryingly like blood for the past week or so.

Please pre-emptively cool it on the wild guesses, though. God forbid any of this winds up vaguely sexual like Keith's thing (F, buddy). No, I haven't even been injured lately. No, it's not my time of the month. No, I'm not actually a murderer. I woke up one day, sniffed foul air, and have been increasingly ill since.

Does anyone have any idea what I can even do about this? bc I feel like I've tried literally everything but bathing in bleach.

Oh, actually, for ppl who don't want to interact with my TMI, what are your favourite movies? I work at the theatre in Mirth now and I'll get a 2% raise if I bring in more traffic, so I kinda have a vested interest in knowing what kinds of things you'd wanna see screened. Set can't pay for everything yk lol.

Thanks.

Can others smell it as well?

idk actually, I've been given a few looks, but I'm always given a few looks.

Wait.... why? Am I dying or smth????

[fallingsand]

You smell like blood? All the time?? For no apparent reason?!

[ Jonas, what the heck?! ]

[coherer]

That's p much the start and end of it, yeah.

I'm actually handling this way worse than it seems I am. js so you don't think I'm a psychopath for calmly going through the motions.

couldn’t just let that post shrivel and die to fading memory

true bro, jonas is ]

so you haven’t tried everything

[coherer]

omg this is so similar to one of your first ever texts to me, remember?

Aww, I'm getting all misty-eyed and nostalgic.

[dreamlords]

Have you done anything that would have made you smell like blood or is it spontaneously occurring?

[coherer]

I have not been a bad boy. I have been a surprisingly good boy, actually, which ig makes the answer to your question a big ol "no to the first one, yes to the second."

idek of any like srs medical condition that'd make me just suddenly smell like blood, but tbf I didn't know what shingles were until last year.

Okay, who even is this? bc that was one time.

can u smell other things?

[coherer]

(tv news magazines: babe magnets)

Good question. Yes, I can smell other things.

And thank God for that bc if I couldn't we'd be in the clutching-the-toilet-bowl phase for 24 hours a day, not just 4-8. Cigarettes are really helping me cope.

@silco

[zauneyete]

Just smoke more, and burn out your sense of smell.

[coherer]

Spoken like a man with experience in smelling awful and needing to cover it up.

tbh the cigarettes are actually helping quite a bit with this.

un: zagreus

[dodgeouttahell]

[When something like 'have you tried not smelling?' comes to mind, you know that you talked way too much to Hypnos.]

That does sound strangely like a curse or a blessing, in a sense.

[Wait. It couldn't be because of him, could it?]

Anything else unusual? Before this happened, I mean.

[coherer]

(ZAGREUS, IF YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS—)

Not that I'm aware of, but now that there's another voice adding to Bruno's "curse" idea, I'm wondering if I've made more huge mistakes in other parts of my daily life.

All I did was chill at the Frightful Harvest, even if we did run into that skeleton guy.

Do you think it had smth to do with this? It was unnaturally pissed at us??

Oh, drat! I swear I've heard about this before...
Give me a moment here, I'll try to remember what it was all about.

In the meantime, I'd LOVE any type of romantic movies! Is that in your power to offer?

[coherer]

omg you have? I owe you big time, bc I totally thought I was cursed for the lizard thing. Or maybe it still is a curse but with a treatable condition like Sakura said??

The goopy romance flicks will totally be the first payment installment. I think we have free reign to decide which to show bc the manager said he didn't give af, so your wish is my command.

Got a favourite?

text; un: d

[damnpire]

It's a curse, more than likely.

You should be careful you don't attract unwanted attention from creatures.

[coherer]

I didn't even consider the creature part, luckily I never stray anywhere I shouldn't. I think. It's hard to tell here.

Working in Mirth is probably what I shouldn't be doing, bc there is creepy shit in that amusement park, but yk... gotta chase that bag.

@harukaze

[janescayre]

[very helpfully:]

Gross.

Did you roll in something weird?

[coherer]

Yes, I put my rubber booties on, found a puddle of blood, and jumped right in.

Friends joined me after seeing how much fun I was having. Soon we were all giggling and splashing each other and wrestling in it. You really missed out.

@hawkins

[rattlingthestars]

Maybe avoid going outside for a while. You probably smell pretty tasty to a lot of those things wandering around.

What's a movie?

[coherer]

ughhh I wouldn't even make a good meal, I'd be stringy and taste like cigarettes or smth. Why is this happening to me?

Are you from ancient times or smth? Not judging, I'm just wondering if you have any moving picture setup at all or if I sound like I'm speaking in tongues to you rn.

[killtohero]

Oh thats gross haha sux for you.
No but okay ill stop being a dick - seriously you coulda caught some kinda virus, yeah?
Illnesses often manifest odd tastes and smells that dont dissipate unless you kill the virus.
I just got to this weird place so idk whats up but thatd be my guess.
Are there doctors here?

As for movies, go for murder mysteries. Take it from a murderer, theyll bring in a lotta ppl.

[coherer]

Sorry @ all of the rest of what you said, my train of thought was totally derailed by you casually admitting to being a MURDERER.

Are you saying that to be edgy or is that real???

@lark

[appeale]

Do you want to use some of my perfumes??
But you said you've tried everything so maybe that isn't any help :(

[coherer]

No no it's a huge help, I actually haven't tried perfume yet. I've tried other hygiene stuff but I didn't want to overwhelm myself right off the bat. I'm just about ready to douse myself now though.

What sorts of perfume do you have??

un: viktor | shows up a week late shhshhhhhh

[theorems]

Don't bathe in bleach.

Sounds like still blood. Have you tried leaches?

you could tag this after i dropped the game and i'd be like "aw🥺"

[coherer]

Leeches. Like the lake ones that suck onto your skin with their sharp little fangs and drink your blood?

ig I really haven't tried everything. Do they hurt?🤨🤨

(fuckin horrified)

[windsongs]

[ You know, she's not going to share her theory on why he smells blood, since 1) he asked people to not, and 2) she's pretty sure it's a trauma response. He doesn't need to think about that. ]

I'm a huge fan of superhero or monster films if it wasn't obvious
I bet they'd get a lot of traction out here

what kind of stuff do you like to watch?

[coherer]

(oh, more movie talk. thank god.)

Superhero stuff I like less, but man a good monster movie is so fun lmfao

Not the super scary ones but the cool action ones a la classic Godzilla or smth. I'll see what I can do on the theatre end of things.

I'm into war movies and stuff. I like documentaries a lot too.
