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.

[Well, at least that's a win/win for both.

His own lip quirks at that.]

I aim to please, mate.

Thank you for explaining.

No God I know would ever die for another person's sins, so that's a kind gesture, but I wonder if that's because it doesn't seem so practical. Did it redeem anyone, as the tale tells it?

I am used to the smell of blood, actually. The Styx is made of it, you know? Runs across the House. So it wouldn't bother me. I'd appreciate it.

I mean Jesus may have supposedly been the son of a deity but he was just a regular guy, so no actual Gods died in the """GREAT SIN PURGE""" (I just made this name up). ig it helped strike the fear of God into ppl and there are a bunch of humans who live well following Jesus' good teachings and stuff, but there a bunch who use it to do bad things/spread bad msgs.

It's super complicated, I'm totally not doing it justice.

Man, though, you gotta visit my place in the Shadowlands if I'm ever brave enough to go back there. bc one of my tethers is my old cell phone and there's this band called Styx and they rock. You'd totally dig them.

I'll show you sometime. In the meantime, mi shack su shack. It's the one off the main strip up a ladder and it's got a smiley face painted on the front. idk why but whatever.

Ah, that's interesting. The fact that he was the son of a god, I mean. Most heroes where I come from do descend from divine blood, but aren't exactly divine.

What kind of bad messages?

A band called Styx? I'm very curious, now.
If we ever do go there, I'd be happy to show you something in mine. There's a book there, written by my mentor. An index of things, people, and entities from where I'm from. You're welcome to take a look at it, I feel you'd like it, too.

Oh. I can actually see it in the distance from my place, actually. I'm at the one at the edge of the dock, with the window on the attic?

omg fr (for real)?? I see it rn lol, dude we're like next-door neighbours.

I don't really wanna get into the bad msgs thing though...... idk just think of a religious crusade (nonviolent and violent) against ppl who don't share the same faith as you. Then picture it happening for everything someone could be considered "different" for. Some ppl read a good thing and interpret it to mean smth shitty, that's all.

Anyway thanks for the invite to your door. That'd be cool, taking a look at other ppl's. Mine's kinda a super creepy island. What's yours?
