he just shows up at the opium den as quickly as possible because harrow has just used a WINKY FACE emoji and is clearly about to do some shit she will regret and he has to rescue her from opium probably immediately]
[He will find her in the den, carefully reading the instructions for how to do opium, while preparing the ingredients. Because even like this she's still a dork.]
[nope! nope nope nope! he's just quickly coming over to just physically pick her up and put her on one of the couches far from the opium and then starting to put all of the ingredients AWAY]
It's my business because I'm trying to help you make sure you don't have, I don't know, every fiend of all nine hells trying to birth themselves from your kneecaps on your first go round.
[just sitting down on that stupid opium couch and making sure she hasnt like
snuck any of it over here and is gonna try and just rip it while he isn't looking
but it seems fine. digging in his coat for a little red box and pulling it out.]
You just want some of this stuff? It'll just make you tired, probably. You shouldn't do a lot. Got to be awake enough to tell me your tattoo anyway.
Yes yes, I'm terrible. The worst! I never let you do anything at all. Hope I drown in the hot tub and such.
[He's rolling he's rolling! he has to lick the paper so hope she isn't offended by that, but eventually he offers her a not-so-fat blunt because he doesn't want her to die. Holding out the lighter too.]
Alright! I can do that. Simple enough. Where? Unless you want it on your face.
Oh. Hmm. Where do you think is best? You're the expert. Arm or something?
[This is acceptable. I'm. She has probably never used a lighter before because pressurized environments, but she's able to get it to work. She understands the concept here. The Ninth House is the loser house; all of the other houses except the Eighth are cooler and probably do have weed. She manages to take a drag, coughing a lot.]
If I hate it, I can just cut off the arm and regrow it in the medbay pod. And then She -
[busy rolling himself one too. he doesn't even question the she he's just like okay and moves on.]
Feels like there's less extreme ways of removal? Burn the skin or something. And yeah, I'd say arm or anywhere you've got something between skin and bone, which isn't much on you, I'm afraid.
[Not taking it slow at all. Coughing more. And okay. She will - start removing some bone bangles and pieces and then roll up her sleeve to the shoulder.]
Look-- you have to breathe it for it to actually work, Harrow. So just try taking a slower fuckin' breath and hold it for a few seconds. And if you're coughing up there, the lines are going to get all wiggly.
[digging out the ink and a needle - now just wrapped around with a bit of cloth he's gotten from somewhere so it's easier to hold, because he's been using these things rather a lot recently. possibly it's a brand new one? ye oldes! it's probably fine. And then taking off his coat, blowing hair out of his face, and moving to sit so he can get to her arm. Very concentrated.]
Terribly impatient today. Think nice thoughts. You'll have a better time. Um, how about your favorite new foods here. I've come around on the spicy pudding. It's disgusting at first and then you're like, oh, I like how it burns. Or pretty goddesses playing broken harps?
[He'll get a new one FINE, but once he gets started he's actually pretty quick with that thing - and he's got a good eye for art, just using the notebook drawing as a reference. It's a stick n' poke, so it's probably not even that painful, and harrow doesn't seem the type to white about a little needle action.]
Vira, Shi Qingxuan, Primrose, Endorsi. . . I'm fine including the dead, but it feels slightly inappropriate to either include or exclude Misa. No, forget that, I'll say Medb.
Unfortunately, she is very my type. [Mean girl with sword.]
Vira. . . [Hmm. Also, you really are taking advantage of the one day when she'll gossip. But a lot of frustration here.] Doesn't particularly play on anyone's field except that of the girl she's here for.
how do you explain to harrow that she is also here for a girl
but it's fine whatevs its just teen drama]
Are any of us expecting anything permanent? [Uh. Not to get too much of his Own Shit on the fun gossip but there's a twinge of something sort of painful there.] I think the point is to enjoy the things you can while you can.
Of course I'm not. [Rolling her eyes at him.] That is not the issue. The issue is that she has spent this entire week going to increasingly ridiculous lengths to avoid me, because God forbid anything be acknowledged, even by accident. [Emotion share. . .]
Assuming that's even the reason, which I suspect but can't know because we're in a murder house populated by monsters. It is so stupid.

No! Nope! No-- Are you serious?

I didn't realize I'd extended an invitation to a black vestal.

depositing her!!]
Why.

[She chills out when she's dropped - she doesn't seem mad, more that she just wanted to fight, so she did.]

John.
[Just. So she knows.]
Look-- Let just not start with opium, yes?
no subject
I really don't see why you've made this your business. But fine, what should we start with?

[Rolling her eyes! But holding her hand out. Yes, but he has to show her how because she's still a nerd.
. . . Anyway, she'll get out her notebook, which is mostly written in an unreadable cipher, but she'll draw out something that looks like this.]
This is the jawless skull - the sigil of the Ninth House. That's what I want.

All right.

It isn't doing anything.
[But she'll sit still and let him work - though she'll make him get a new needle if he doesn't have one! It's okay - she has a suture kit.]

That is a nice thought. [. . .] Not the pudding. Ew.

Top five hottest. You can include the dead if you like.

[THAT'S FAIR.]
I agree with most of those. Vira and I don't play on the same field I don't believe, and Endorsi isn't so much my type.
