others did
they're all right

[ well, no. daisy is posting angsty song lyrics on a mental network and fitz feels guilty. they're not all right at all, but they're no longer affected by whatever it was. ]

have you ever encountered anything like that? something that could make people irrationally angry?

[ofmyth]

you're asking the wrong god
my anger is legendarily irrational

[ but that's not what she means ]

aye, many things could do it. magic. disease. food. technology
but given that the cure is us- i can't fathom that nearly so well

[covertness]

i'm thinking some kind of pathogen or magic dust released in the fire that reacts with whatever's in our chests

[ "magic dust". it hurts the scientist in her to type out those words. ]

remind me not to make you angry, then

[ofmyth]

then it was only us who were affected by it? no one in the wider population? something released by fire would make sense then


and have no fear, i'm not the hot-headed youth i once was
if i believe i am a danger to you i will tell you

[covertness]

not only us, no
but i think everyone who was in the fire, us or natives, was patient zero of sorts

i wasn't really worried, you know

[ofmyth]

then it is thought to be able to spread between people?


that is good, i would not have you be
:)

[ look at that comforting smiley face, bobbi
take a lot of comfort in it (and also be proud of him he has remembered that this is how humans communicate) ]

[covertness]

it's my working theory at the moment
but i'm not sure

[ that is not comforting so much as it is just really cute. ]

no danger of that at the moment
quite the opposite

[ is she thinking back to the party right now? she sure is. ]

[ofmyth]

i will admit, i am a little hurt you did not throw yourself on a pyre in grief once my absence was noted, as is customary


[ it's not customary and he's totally having you on ]

[covertness]

if there's been a pyre, i would have
but i was too overcome with grief to build one myself

[ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ]
