WHO: anyone
WHERE: Daffodil's front lawn
WHEN: Day 32, mid-morningish

[ at some point mid-morning, a pasturewide cubecall goes out: ]

I'm holding lessons in Daffodil's pasture. Come if you want to, don't if you don't.

[ yeah, that's it. that's the whole thing. BUT if you do show up, the apothecary cat has set up several stations outside of her little workshop/cathouse: a makeshift firepit with a wooden drying rack, several large pots of varying sizes, and is currently in the process of chopping up a pygmidillo. and I do mean chopping. we are cleaving through bone here.

* For those who would notice, the ribbons in her hair are now Daffodil-yellow, but her collar is still black. ]

Drying, smoking, salting. The cold boxes are useful, but Biscuit wanted to learn things that didn't rely on those. And others have been interested, so I thought: why not?

[stirtheblood]

Never smoked stuff before.

Least prob'ly not in the way you're meanin'.

[apothekitty]

I imagine not. But I don't feel like putting out any real fires today, so controlled ones will have to do.

[stirtheblood]

No promises on that.

[apothekitty]

I will put poison in your food.

[stirtheblood]

I dunno if poison's gonna do anythin' to me...

[sincere ignorance]

[apothekitty]

[ ping ]

Would you like to find out?

[stirtheblood]

Not especially?

Unless the poison is booze.

[apothekitty]

Ah. Alas.

If you ever change your mind, please ask me first.

[stirtheblood]

What, ya get excited about poisonin' me?

[apothekitty]

I just think it'd be interesting and useful to test just how high your tolerance is... Fifi and Lethe appear to be able to turn their resistance on and off, but I don't know anyone else who just isn't sure of their level.

[stirtheblood]

Interestin', maybe, but what's useful about it? Ain't like anythin' ya learn about me's gonna apply to anyone else.

[apothekitty]

You'd be able to tell me what symptoms you're experiencing. Even if it doesn't kill you, it might still cause reactions.

[stirtheblood]

Sure, but so what?

[apothekitty]

It's good to have that data. Especially if I want a better understanding of the flora that grows in this place.

[stirtheblood]

And I'm tellin' ya, seein' how I react to it ain't gonna help ya understand anythin'.

[apothekitty]

It would. It's not as if I'm only designing medicine for humans in this pasture.

[stirtheblood]

It ain't just humans. No one else is gonna be the same as me.

[apothekitty]

Not the exact same, but close enough.

[stirtheblood]

Says who?

[apothekitty]

Says me.

And I'm the expert.

[stirtheblood]

You ain't the expert on me.

[apothekitty]

But I am an expert on medicine.

[stirtheblood]

What's that got to do with it?

[apothekitty]

Obviously, I want to be able to test on a wider variety of subjects. If you tell me "this won't work on me," then I just want to find out what will.
