[ after a sufficient degree of . . . chaos . . . the winged demon—much bigger now than before—giggles in satisfaction, the sound not unlike clinking glass. it flutters its wings and climbs into the sky in a swirl; the bars, ingredients, and tools all disappear, along with the medicine box.

where the demon once was is schnapps, who . . . well he doesn't look like he's having a bad time. with a drunken chortle, ]

I awakened his blood sin, yeah. First time I saw someone take control of it rather than bein' consumed by it.

_{[ gears_turning.sfx as he considers what the fuck 'Awakened his blood sin' could mean in full ]}

Oho. So there was a high chance he'd, what~? Turn permanently into something twisted and nasty and tear all his pursuers to shreds?

[stirtheblood]

Huh? Nah. It'd just kill 'em. The tearin' his pursuers to shreds part only happens if he gets a handle on it.

[finalbows]

Ohhh. That's so much less exciting and poetic.

[stirtheblood]

Yeah, well. The world ain't usually that poetic.

What, does your one turn people twisted and crazy or whatever?

[finalbows]

Mm. No. Not unless you're already that way, when you let loose. Think of that power I liberated as... a magnification of the innate.

Yours, I was just making a guess from the rather evocative name and descriptor.

[stirtheblood]

Well, you could call blood sins a "magnification of the innate" too. It's harnessin' the power of your own sin.

S'just that most people can't handle that part of themselves.

[finalbows]

_{[ what the fuck. that's so cool. face yourself and what you did, or else. his gut reaction is 'I would be soooooooooo good at that omg.' ]}

...I can imagine, yes. People fight bitterly for their veils. They die for them even easier.

[stirtheblood]

Yep. A lotta people spend their whole lives findin' distractions from really lookin' at themselves. When society happens to look at 'em and decide they're guilty, they can't find any will to stand up to it.
