8th Pesterlog // [Now Fortified With Impurities!] [Accidental Video]

[maid_of_fthulu]

[So, lately you might notice something a bit... off about the salt... yes, that's right, they are now touched with the noxious essences of corruptible energies that no human should ever dare meddle with. How unfortunate, then , that a few bottles of the stuff may even be lining your local food court! But don't worry, the stuff is relatively benign

[Color him worried.]

Rose? What's going on?

[maid_of_fthulu]

[wai u worried? everything is totally fine, can't you tell?]

Nothing is going on, Atem. I am busy.

[note_atem]

[THAT'S LIES AND HE KNOWS IT.]

I can see that. Doing what, exactly? [She doesn't want to play games, he can understand that. So. Cutting to the point because what is he witnessing besides someone pushing themselves too hard.]

[Chattiness isn't high, but even at her most clandestine she will always respond to friends.]

My system-appointed job this month. I am a salt miner. It is physically arduous but not a problem for me.

[Hefts salt.]

[ he's startled by the scene ]

What are you doing?

[maid_of_fthulu]

[She looks over at the video with great annoyance. But puts on a more pleasant face. This is for a friend, right? Right.]

I am busy working with my appointed job for the month. It may be physically arduous, but I will not allow any occupation to get the better of me.

[grimreaping]

There's no need for you to do a job that's clearly dangerous and one that's taking a toll on your health.

[video]

[maid_of_fthulu]

It isn't. I feel fine.

[that is her story and she's sticking to it]

[There is no way in hell you would catch Kyoya lowering himself to such physical labour or, usually, taking an interest in same. But there's something about the ruthless, efficient work ethic that he can admire even if it's technically born from impatience]

I do hope that won't have any lasting effects on the final product. I can't say I'm particularly versed in the litigation process on board this ship but this would be a most unfortunate means of finding out.

[video]

[maid_of_fthulu]

Oh joy. More people.

What do you mean by lasting effects?

[video]

[reallyincharge]

Well, you'll forgive my ignorance in these matters given that what you appear to be doing should not technically even be possible, or at least it wouldn't where I come from. But it would be a shame for such hard work to go to waste because your methods have tainted the product enough that it is no longer suited to its purpose, in this case human consumption.

[maid_of_fthulu]

I simply am utilizing a form of magic that channels the energies of an Elder God. I don't see how that can possibly be a problem. [there is a very subtle sneer there -- can you feel her antipathy?]

[regardless, she looks at the salt she just... er... "liberated"]

It looks fine. I don't know what you are talking about.

[Video]

[weekwizard]

...Is the slight dark magic charge an intended part of the harvesting process?

[She would notice that...]

[Video]

[maid_of_fthulu]

It wouldn't. However, I've been carefully regulating my output to ensure that doesn't happen, Ms. Knowledge.

Re: [Video]

[weekwizard]

To me, it seems that it is happening anyway. Not in a significant amount, but salt does not usually give off a black glow like that.

[Video]

[maid_of_fthulu]

[Why do people keep saying that? Gives it another look.]

No, it appears normal to me.

[gotsmelledlater]

Nine more days 'till what? [Sorry, Rose, Ash is an idiot...]

[ video ]

[maid_of_fthulu]

My internment in this servitude will have reached it's culmination.

[Good luck with that, Ash. ;w;b]

[ video ]

[gotsmelledlater]

.... Huh? I don't get it.

[ video ]

[maid_of_fthulu]

I dun hafta work no more.
