Mm. She’s already unable to set foot in our meadow, so that will have to be good enough.

Are you going to use that right away?

[mykidisthebest]

I have to get the limbus first. But we can do that right now if you're free.

[endsjustified]

[holding up the vial he’s located]

Just let me separate a little out to keep as is. Then I’m all yours.

[mykidisthebest]

I feel like I should ask what you're doing with little vials of everyone's blood.

[offers the blood up with zero protest tho]

[endsjustified]

Thus far, not much. But blood has a lot of uses, especially in a world swimming with demons. Having the right kind may come in useful.

[dips out the vial of blood he wants; he’ll label it and tuck it concealed in the freezer]

[mykidisthebest]

It feels like Blossom's blood is getting spilled all of the time, so it's hard to think it will have any special uses.

[seals it back up and goes to get what limbus they have in stock]

[endsjustified]

That’s the blood of her host body, though. Who knows what the differences are? If it turns out to be nothing, ordinary blood can still do a lot.

[sone is in the morgue but they probably keep a bit in the barn since it doesn’t need particularly specialized storage…he’ll help him with whatever other setup he needs. probably a plant pot from the garden??]

[mykidisthebest]

[they're makin' a plant so he's just gonna put the limbus in a pot and pour the blood in with it, yeah. it's not a terribly time-consuming process, but it goes faster with two people]

I guess we haven't really seen if demon blood does anything special. And she is part demon. Maybe we could ask one of the Holy Beasts if they know, if Blossom won't tell us.

[endsjustified]

They all seem rather eccentric about giving information, but it might be less unpleasant than more demons.

[regards the pot once they have finished. this sure is the second full-body growth experiment he’s been a part of, which makes him feel some kinda way]

Are we keeping this indoors?

[mykidisthebest]

[leans back to inspects the size of the pot]

Keeping it outside feels dangerous. I was thinking of putting it inside near a window. If the living room isn't a good place for it then I can keep it in my room.

[endsjustified]

Let’s keep it in your room. I don’t want visitors seeing it and asking questions, especially once it stops looking like an ordinary plant.

[mykidisthebest]

Ah. Good point. I do actually want to keep this secret, if we can. My room it is.

[gestures for Charon to pick up the pot. it is heavy and Lethe is a weak F-Class.]

[endsjustified]

[he gets a Look in his eye and then picks up the pot in the crook of one arm, and scoops Lethe under the other arm, hooking it around his waist]

[mykidisthebest]

[squeaks when he gets scooped up, ears pink and eyes narrowed at him as he debates whether or not to wiggle out of his arm.]

I can walk by myself.

[endsjustified]

[he has just the tiiiiniest smile on]

I know.

[if Lethe doesn’t wiggle in the next few seconds he’s gonna tote him upstairs like this]

[mykidisthebest]

[he does not wiggle. wraps his arms around Charon's neck and MAGNANIMOUSLY allows himself to be carried to his room]

[endsjustified]

[this is the best use of enhanced strength confirmed. who needs punching people when you’ve got this

once they’re there he carefully sets Lethe down on his bed, then holds the pot while a ghost drags a small tarp in through Lethe’s window to set it down on in a sunny spot.

horrible Blossom clone experiment: start]

[mykidisthebest]

[now Charon knows why Lethe likes the super strength when he gets it]

Perfect. I'm guessing it'll take a few days before we see any results, but there's time.

[endsjustified]

Mm. Minuet’s took quite a bit more time to grow than a singular body part did.

[it’s really kind of distressing how much firsthand experience he has with using limbus! time to not think about that]

Don’t use your skill on this one, I think. I’m not sure how speeding growth interfaces with limbus.

[mykidisthebest]

[too much limbus use in this lifetime]

I wasn't planning on it. I don't really want to apply any skills to something that might look like Blossom's body.

[endsjustified]

Too weird?

[mykidisthebest]

[briefly contemplates what could even possibly happen if his Final Thanks activates when a limbus body gets plucked

(CENSORED IMAGE)

deletes it from his memory]

Too weird. Too many unforeseen side effects. No thank you. Limbus is off limits.

[endsjustified]

[holy shit]

In its own time, then. Fortunately it doesn’t really need anything from here other than sunlight and regular watering.

[mykidisthebest]

[leans over to inspect it without leaving his bed]

It'll stay undisturbed in my room. If it starts to turn weird I'll let you know, but I expect you'll see it for yourself if it comes to that.

[endsjustified]

Quite so.

[goes to sit by him on the bed, with a soft breath out]

We need to talk to Blossom herself at the first opportunity. Hopefully we get the chance to do so while waiting on this.
