Anyone got an explanation for this one? I figured it was some kind of flower-growing shit when I got up, but looks like that's just in the apartment. I dunno, it's kind of nice I guess. Even if it's weird indoors. I've never been a nature freak or into gardening or anything but I can't complain

Maybe this is the deities' way of saying your apartment smells.

[never_very_good]

The only thing the apartment smells of is bread.

Maybe they have wheat allergies.

[never_very_good]

Or they don't like our decorating, I guess.

[adamantined]

Or they're trying to make up for all the gardening you missed out on back home.

[never_very_good]

Could be. Dunno, I'm fine just being able to go out during the day without riot gear on.

[adamantined]

Yeah, that must be nice. Being able to move around without all that crap is definitely an upgrade.

[never_very_good]

It's got its good points and its less good ones. I'm glad, mostly.

[adamantined]

Why's that?

[never_very_good]

I mean, for the most part the good shit outweighs the bad, being mortal.

[adamantined]

I didn't -

Sorry, I was thinking something else. That is an upgrade.

[never_very_good]

It's kind of an abnormal situation. Really I didn't have much choice in things but I guess it worked out.

[adamantined]

So you were... not mortal and then you became mortal. Back home or... as some kind of trade thing here?

For ten years I was a vampire. I got cured-- kind of accidentally, and I'm human again now. Permanently.

[adamantined]

I didn't realize they could get cures for that kind of thing.

It's not magic or anything. My brother's a blood doctor, he helped figure it out though... mostly it was dumb luck, really.
