[There's no such thing as "accidentally" calling everyone on the Far Stones. One must have consciously made the decision to speak to everyone, like a walkie-talkie that can't be turned off on the receiving end. So when Chara speaks to- everyone, it is with full awareness that they are, in fact, speaking to everyone.]

Poisonous flowers are curious things, did you know? [Which is why they start off on such a chipper note!] For many, it is the act of ingesting them which causes illness or fatality. For others, however... the simple act of prolonged contact is enough- toxins are absorbed through the skin.

Death can take anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks. [By golly, they sound happy about this.] So it's a frightfully good idea to invest in some gardening gloves, should you wish to transplant any flora from Ziziphus to another locale. It could be the difference between a new garden and your rather unfortunate demise.

[Anyways everything's totally chill. Chara's totally fine and absolutely nothing is wrong ever, they just like making these kinds of announcements for kicks. It has Absolutely Nothing to do with failing to request gloves of their own.

Thank you so much dearie, I'm heading there now.

[Muffet refrains trying to argue about this entirely, just grabbing the nearest bit of monster food she can grab and bolting straight for the temple. Some small corner of her mind privately resolves to find out whoever sent that and make sure she can repay them properly.]

That's hardly necessary.

[Chara cuts in almost impatiently, with the knowledge of something she doesn't have.]

In addition to being pointless. Didn't you know?

Green magic doesn't work on poison.

[Muffet replies without even slowing down, speaking calmly into her stone as she runs to the mana pool and dives through.]

It can't chase it out of your system, no. What it can do is keep the damage from getting any worse while your body filters it out.

[As long as a poison is in the body, it will continue to work- but the body doesn't care for anything toxic to stay, and will hasten a poison out green magic or no green magic. If one has the patience to sit with a patient, healing the damage done over and over until the poison has finished running through them, it can mean the difference between life and death. And a body that is otherwise entirely healthy will find it far easier to push a poison out than one already struggling.]

That- [Is a concept they'd never considered. Before, whenever they felt even remotely better, they would simply turn to Asriel and he would-

Their death had- taken a long time. Chara's memories of those weeks are hazy, at best, but what was it the monsters had said to Frisk? There was nothing they could do.

Perhaps they'd all simply-- stopped trying.]

...I suppose.

[Likely they had tried and tried and tried again, only for it to fail because they simply didn't know the cause and therefore could not treat it. Helping the patient wait things out isn't terribly effective when they keep dosing themselves again.]

[Muffet falls silent as she approaches the temple, entering and looking around worriedly for Chara.]

[And there they are, seated in the shade of a pillar with Tim crouched down in front of them, the Knight hovering anxiously off to the side. Even from a distance, the changes to their complexion as a fever sets in is--

Noticeable.]

Do you want me to hop over to the thread with Tim and The Knight or stick with this one?

Probably best to jump into the thread with Tim!
