{019} ☼ Those things which are precious are saved only by sacrifice

[ruby_nova]

The tree [There's a pause and a few pentaps here] No one has to

[Another pause...]

The tree doesn't require any blood to live, does it?

[She'll blot this all out in a few minutes because it is a ridiculous question, but the dream she got from Cephiro really disturbed her so she had to ask.]

[bloody_pens]

... kind of a disturbing thing to be thinking about, sweetie.

[ruby_nova]

I know, I'm sorry. It's really nothing, really!

[spandexisyouth]

No! Of course it would not!

[ruby_nova]

I'm sure you're right!

[spandexisyouth]

Do not worry, Nova. I am sure that the Tree is not that [pentaps] malevolent.

[desertshadows]

No. I'm sure that would have been noticed by now if that was the case.

[ruby_nova]

You'd hope we'd know about it, anyway. [Of course, nobody knows what happens to those people that disappear and don't come back, but she's not gonna mention that...]

[desertshadows]

I'd think it'd be hard to keep a secret for long. [He hasn't really made that association at the moment.]

[crimson_seeker]

It exacts some kind of price, that's for sure, blood or otherwise.

Strikes blotted out quickly 'cause talking about it on the journals isn't safe. :[

[ruby_nova]

Maybe the tree feeds on memories.

[crimson_seeker]

That raises the question of how we're able to get them back at all.

A kickback to keep us pacified? Or maybe it's like how trees leak sap sometimes. Who knows with this place?
