Re: Day 244

[nymphcompoop]

[a light chuckle]

Yeah, pretty much. I'd rather have it than not, I think. But it's not great when I don't have as much control over it.

...

Are yours also...?

Re: Day 244

[liveslaughsloves]

I’ve got three. The bird one I really like. The other one’s for work, and it’s pretty good, though I lost most of my skill with it when I got amnesia.

My healing one ain’t great, though.

Re: Day 244

[nymphcompoop]

... Healing Blessings tend to be pretty costly, huh.

Re: Day 244

[liveslaughsloves]

Yeah.

Past me kinda fucked up, I guess? Don’t know why it came out this way, but it’s in a shape where anyone who learns about it hates me using it on them.

Re: Day 244

[nymphcompoop]

... How... does it work...?

Re: Day 244

[liveslaughsloves]

I can take anyone’s injury, no matter how bad. They’ll be just fine.

But it’s literal. It just swaps over to me.

Re: Day 244

[nymphcompoop]

[lets out a strangled sound of disapproval]

Re: Day 244

[liveslaughsloves]

[does little fingerguns at him]

That’s the usual reaction, yeah.

Re: Day 244

[nymphcompoop]

... I wonder if it could be hacked.

Re: Day 244

[liveslaughsloves]

Hacked…?

Re: Day 244

[nymphcompoop]

Like with a contract. I mean, not that it would do much in an emergency, which is when these Blessings normally get used, but I always wonder about rebalancing things so they're less inconvenient.

Re: Day 244

[liveslaughsloves]

[huh…]

I wouldn’t mind trying. Worst case it doesn’t work, right?

Re: Day 244

[nymphcompoop]

No. Worst case scenario, something totally unexpected happens. Everything I don't account for can become a potential loophole.

Re: Day 244

[liveslaughsloves]

Huh…couldn’t you do like, a master clause? ‘In case the exact conditions aren’t a met for this thing, nothing happens to anyone?’

Re: Day 244

[nymphcompoop]

I can, but that means we then need to define said exact conditions in as much detail as possible and end up with a ten-page contract.

Which is why it's useless in emergencies.

Re: Day 244

[liveslaughsloves]

Yeah, that sounds like a lotta thinking cap material.

Did you ever finish up the one you wanted to do so we can work on your room—?

Re: Day 244

[nymphcompoop]

... I had a draft but...

Re: Day 244

[liveslaughsloves]

[stares him down lol]

But…?

Re: Day 244

[nymphcompoop]

[backs away slightly]

I-It can probably wait.

Re: Day 244

[liveslaughsloves]

…

[slightly plaintive]

Was yesterday so embarrassing you just don’t wanna work with me anymore?

Re: Day 244

[nymphcompoop]

I thought I'd—give you space? To ffffrecover?

Re: Day 244

[liveslaughsloves]

That’s nice of you, but the best way to get space to me is having something to do with my hands.

Re: Day 244

[nymphcompoop]

[opens and closes his hands a couple of times, as if grabbing something invisible]

Would... you prefer to have something to work on, then? Like a distraction?

Re: Day 244

[liveslaughsloves]

Yyyyyes?

[eyeing his hands like ???]

Re: Day 244

[nymphcompoop]

[throws his arms up]

O-Okay! Okay.

[and then stiffly turns around to go look through a pile of papers on his desk]
