FORGE

[livestage]

[The Showmaster leads you through the dark stage and you find yourself entering something that looks like a very nice and expensive classroom.

Each desk is spacious with drawers that you will conveniently find any important item that had been on your person or that you feel like you would need here. Each chair is cushy and swivels.

Sitting on top of the teacher's desk is a young girl, older teen / younger adult in age at most, hair that looks like mint cotton candy that probably reaches down to her ankles. She has a knee drawn up to her body, resting her chin on top as she scours the room of who arrived . . .

And then she looks at you all with disdain and slight fear in her face. You'll notice that her purple eyes shifts when she makes the scowl, it goes from a solid purple to a purple mixed in with this symbol in green also.]

I thought you guys might have been the exception, but oh no, no, no. Absolutely NOT.

Nooo they're all weeds.

[Today, Rose is learning that OF ALL THINGS......... their bones are kind of messed up by memory regains! Wow! Interesting self-anatomy lesson! And by "messed up" we mean some of the bones look bone-like but a lot of this skeleton looks like it is made out of something that is suspiciously close in texture to wood if one looks closely enough past the uhhh blood and stuff.

Not that much of Rose's body is ever exposed, so it's probably impossible for everyone else to see the extent of the damage, but it's pretty apparent how they start wincing and then cringing and then worse. They reflexively try to brush off the "spiders" at first but when that doesn't help at all and the pain gets rolling they're putting their hand to better use muffling what noises might have come out of their mouth otherwise.]

[ oh dear

reaches out but has a potato in one hand and an onion in the other so has to take a moment to be like 'wait my hands are full of vegetables' and honestly that's probably good. ]

It seems not everything was as easy-going as it seems. Do you need anything?

[sweetdreamsandivorysmoke]

[Honestly


they cannot think of anything that would make this better so they just shake their head.]

Re: CW: removed flesh spider implications etc etc

[throughbamboo]

—fuck, Rose -

[he starts to reach out, then abruptly stops like he's forgotten no, touching bad]

Re: CW: removed flesh spider implications etc etc

[sweetdreamsandivorysmoke]

[Thanks for at least allowing them to preserve their dignity somewhat Ore.
Rose doesn't have much to say atm since they need a minute for the initial OW and YIKES to pass and for the torture to level out into "just" a cycle of having their flesh try to reform itself and be bitten off again.

...more than a minute actually. This is a lot.]

Re: CW: removed flesh spider implications etc etc

[takeyoutochurch]

[gets close, but stops just short of touching them, very quickly masking his alarm. the implications of what's going on are...there, but, he's still a Forge. assessing the situation properly comes first.]

Hey there, buddy. Talk to me. Can ya tell me what's wrong?

Re: CW: removed flesh spider implications etc etc

[sweetdreamsandivorysmoke]

[Immediately obeys by lowering their hand and opening their mouth to talk- but all that comes out is the rather pathetic noise they were trying to cover up, so they end up shaking their head to answer his question.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[throughbamboo]

[watching his fingers melt ig, though when he glances over to the Storyteller he pauses, just utterly confused-looking]

Re: DISCUSSION

[ ......................................... ]



That seems. . . not good.

Re: DISCUSSION

[throughbamboo]

[he winces a bit as the rest of the hand starts]

All 'cuz I said it'd be kinda cool, I bet.
