persephone was a giant ass monster and the cult leader was horny for it

if you got anything from the cult you should fuckin burn it. [...] wait if it's a plant maybe put it in a bag and like. give it to research. but seriously that shit should get burned cause it's zombie brainwash monster parts

i mean sure but why

[nolitangere]

Trying to rule out mechanisms of control over the enthralled. If the muscle biopsies look about the same (disregarding Liminal/non-Liminal differences we know about), then it's less likely [...] Persephone the creature??? was controlling the enthralled on a muscular level.

if u do this can i see it with my eyes please

[nolitangere]

I was actually going to tap you for the job, since Research should be in on this. You look at the biopsies, I look at what you see in your head. [...] If you're up for it.

[beautyfull]

[...] ok but i think we should watch min 15 tiktoks or other like stupid stuff of yr choosing beforehand so that's all i'll be thinking of other than cells

[nolitangere]

If I get to choose, we're watching marmot compilations.

What do you think I'm going to do, root around in there?

[beautyfull]

acceptable my brain will be so fuzzy

Crystattack

I can separate work (information-gathering) from pleasure (other information-gathering). Literally keep your secrets, I just need to borrow your special eyeballs.

Crystattack

[beautyfull]

that is EXACTLY what i would say before sneakin in some brain secrets as well

and i didn't say no i'm just taking precautions

Crystattack

[nolitangere]

I'm not exactly subtle, as you know. I can't really sneak around. What's more likely is that you'd be able to sneak in some of my brain secrets, because you can do the silent stiletto walk and I bet that transfers to mind stuff, too.

We'll watch so many marmot videos we'll become marmots.

Crystattack

[beautyfull]

but idk what you can see and you can't. and u ARE subtle enough that u saw at least like ONE of my secr thoughts and i had No Idea til u told me so. and i brought up gavin first then if i hadn't it would've been what, just like, another piece of paper in the Crysta File and idk how many more of those there are?

[...] will the marmot videos even rly work or am i just gonna watch a bunch of marmot videos

Crystattack

[nolitangere]

That was after the storm, I don't know how I did that and I don't think I could redo it even if I tried. [...] Are you upset with me? Since when did you care what I do? I keep a Crysta file because you're important to me mostly to back you up in arguments with bouncers, don't read too much into it.

Marmot videos really work. They're incredibly calming, and you'll be thinking about marmots for days.

Crystattack

[beautyfull]

that's true. i'm not upset it's just [...]. idk whatever. i guess it shouldnt be weird, everyone around here collects SOME kind of data right. let's still try marmots n muscles

just like. if u see something weird on the way to cells could u tell me.

Crystattack

[nolitangere]

I only collect data for cool and harmless purposes. You should be worried about everyone else. I should be worried about everyone else. 🤨

I’ll let you know. I’ll think of a foghorn sound. Or the Inception BRWWM sound, how about that?

Crystattack

[beautyfull]

i have way more dirt that i wouldnt care about using against almost everyone else so im not worried ty

approp startling ty.

Crystattack

[nolitangere]

[…] But no dirt on me, right?

[misapplied]

as opposed to??

[beautyfull]

a state of the art laboratory equipment

[misapplied]

fair enough

[beautyfull]

my eyes are microscopes now

[misapplied]

sounds weird i'm in

[nolitangere]

Sick, thanks. What’s your least-favorite muscle and can I have a piece of it?

[misapplied]

the ass, I guess?

[nolitangere]

Really? But it’s so important.

Swing by Medical whenever. We’ll have you light your sage in an observation room, and then I’ll take a sample. Should be fairly painless.
