[This is Krizalid.]

[This is a very drunk Krizalid, wearing ...some kind of costume. It seems like he's in his bedroom at home, a bottle full of something that looks alcoholic sitting on a nearby table. There's also a very used shot glass. He's been training his liver as well as his muscles, apparently.]

[He's muttering incoherently to himself and

I think you're overreacting...to something.......mate.

[cuttingedges]

[Oh, it's this coward again.]

Perhaps, but I am not injured and I have confirmation. [Though, there's still that blood to deal with. Excuse Kriz for a moment while he ducks out of the frame to clean the floor.]

[ video]

[lists_to_port]

[Yes, this very same coward.]

Oi! Where've you gone, then? Has everything gone dark? Walk toward the light, mate. Or so they tell me.

[...and up he comes, bloodied rags clutched in his fist.]

I am fine. [...physically, at least.]

[cuttingedges]

[And yet another shred of Krizalid's dignity gets torn away by a cat.]

...I had to know.

[Removing some of the fluffier bits from the costume, he's going to do his best to mop up that blood before it stains too badly.]

I forgot to get back to this. orz

[cuttingedges]

A very drunk woman, whom I had failed to assist a few days ago, stuffed me into this... ridiculous outfit. [Maybe not so ridiculous considering his usual attire. :|a]

[sonatas_edge]

[Soul just watches for a few moments after he's done mutilating and then healing himself with this face.]

... That's one hell of a drug.

[cuttingedges]

That it is. [Don't mind him, he's just busy cleaning all that blood up.]

[sonatas_edge]

Though I don't think you needed to bleed so much to prove it.

[cuttingedges]

Experimentation requires someone to experiment on.

[my_yoke_broke]

O-oi, Kriz! You don't have to hurt yourself, y'know...

[He really hopes most people he gives his medicine to doesn't actually injure themselves to test it's potency. Oh gosh, what if they do? He'll need to definitely put that on a label or something...

Still, this is a little worrisome.]

... Is somethin' wrong?

[Uh duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh]

[video]

[cuttingedges]

[Kriz has found a mop, which is getting pinker by the second, and he's cleaning up the last of his own blood with it. He seems to be deep in thought, and when he speaks, he doesn't even turn towards the camera.]

...Have you ever felt useless? Worthless?

[Oh. Oh, man, that's a lot of ground to cover-one doesn't live for 180 years and not have a few examples scattered here and there in memory. Though, the very first thing that comes to mind (and what would probably always come to mind) was Ella. Lax form, blank expression, empty gaze.]

[my_yoke_broke]

Of course. Of course, everyone has to go through that, whether it's many times or just one moment of weakness. We all want to know our worth or use, eventually; it's just in a person's nature, no matter what they're like.

[He has his moments of clarity in the face of a serious question, you see.]

*Meiling just... stared at that in horror. Not that she hasn't seen worse in her hundreds of years of living but the whole thing was very unexpected and caught her off guard.*

H-Hey... you don't need to hurt yourself to test something like that.

[video]

[cuttingedges]

It was the only way.

[video]

[lotusgatekeeper]

No way! You could have... done something else!

[cuttingedges]

It is a medicine that heals wounds. What did you expect me to do?
