Absolutely not. What's wrong?

[doneisdone]

I have been cursed to speak only the truth, and I assure you I will die from it one way or another!

[justice_is_blond]

Have you tried putting your crystal away and speaking through gestures? I know some rude ones. They're fun. I even have some favorites.

[A beat.]

Come down to the Infirmary. I'll keep you company without asking any intrusive questions, keep away the people you don't want to see, and let you play with Isaac the Cat.

[doneisdone]

You drive me out of my fucking mind, Anders

[circleprodigy]

...no.

Why, what's happened?

[doneisdone]

[Frantically,] I don't know, apart from A CURSE

[circleprodigy]

Do you want to store your crystal with mine? Would that help, if you could not access it for a while?

[Because now that she's starting to realize what's going on, it seems like a good idea for herself, as well.]

[doneisdone]

..........yes.

[reshapes]

I'll have to collect that silver piece for the Agathe murder pot ahead of time if you plan on being consensually killed. Accidental or unplanned death is one thing, but you can't just shirk the bet by arranging it.

[doneisdone]

FUCK OFF

[It's nothing personal.]

[reshapes]

My, someone's awfully prickly.

[doneisdone]

Someone's fixing to get stabbed in the face through a crystal, once-- once I can figure out how!

[in_death_sacrifice]

If this is related to what I think... We could arrange to cut your tongue out instead, or lock away your crystal. I'm strongly considering one or both for myself.

[doneisdone]

Whichever is faster.

[in_death_sacrifice]

Well, knives are always fast, although the clean up would be rather arduous. Perhaps hiding your crystal and finding a means to avoid all other people somehow would be for the best...

[justice_is_blond]

Arduous? There's also blood loss, and the fact that you can't simply heal a missing tongue! We're not cutting out someone's tongue, especially not Teren's!

[chainlightning]

I can put you in a magically-induced coma! [ :D helping :D ]

[doneisdone]

...n... no magic.

[chainlightning]

Oh. [ hmmmMMMmm ] Well, I can hit you very hard in the head with a rock?

[limier]

That strikes excessive.

[doneisdone]

You'd know, wouldn't you?

[limier]

[ that she's not any keener for certain facts to become public knowledge,

the frustrated sound of words quashed: just find a gag, ]

Bury the crystal, and stay in your room; you will have naught to worry of. This will be settled.

[hornswoggle]

Are you offering pay? That might be a helpful motivator.

[doneisdone]

I'll pay with not killing you back.

[hornswoggle]

That's not much of an offer. You'd have better luck offering a bit of coin for our trouble.
