[ Oh hey it's a Molly! ]

So... did anyone happen to bring with them something fun from their world? Something that can take your mind off from things for a while?

Something exciting?

[ That almost-not-there Irish-like lilt is very overly cheery. Someone's had a hard month. ]

Just a little tiny thing that makes you forget about everything else?

Drugs. I'm fishing for drugs.

Technically speaking, a lot of demon drugs exist everywhere. But I don't think I can distill the concept of time from this dimension. Never really my thing anyway, to be honest. 

[which means he had no particular reason to respond to this, Michael just likes to chat]

[devilstongue]

That sounds absolutely amazing and also completely useless to me. A pity I'm not actually a demon, no matter my stunning horns.

[eudaimonikos]

Yeah.

[It's useless and sort of a humblebrag!]

I don't have horns, though. Not for centuries and centuries now.

[devilstongue]

Almost all do in my world Kind of a tell-tale sign.

[ Molly no. ]

Did you carve yours off?

[eudaimonikos]

No, I just swapped skinsuits. We all spend most of our time in one physical shape or another. The shape of it depends on your job.

[devilstongue]

Skinsuits. Lovely.

[eudaimonikos]

Better than the alternative. Our natural forms would definitely make mortals explode, or something.

[This is not true.]

They grow pot in the gardens, I think.

[devilstongue]

Oh, I know. It's wonderful, but I'm feeling like something a little stronger.

[a_shadow]

For experimentation or because you know what it's like?

[devilstongue]

That fully depends on what's available.

[a_shadow]

So, both, or either.

I've never done anything like that. Just alcohol.

[devilstongue]

It's not for everyone, but it can be fun at times. Depends on your tolerance.

[ Like this place hasn't made you a full alcoholic, Molly. ]

[postictal]

alcohol is a drug
we've got tons of that

[devilstongue]

Although I am endlessly thankful for this fact, it is not working as well as I would like it to, so I'm branching out.

[postictal]

well aside from weed i dont know what to tell you
maybe someone took back some of the stuff that grew on io
we've got this sedative plant from the monkeys but it mostly just puts you out for hours

[devilstongue]

Too bad. I suppose it's been a while since Io, too.

[ Hmmm. ]

I don't think I want to be knocked out, just unbothered and happy.

[ Give him uppers, not downers. ]

[postictal]

asleep can be unbothered and happy

[For some people. Not for Tim. Not for...he's guessing a good portion of everyone else here. Maybe even for Mollymauk.]

[devilstongue]

That's fair, but it's not good enough for me right now.

[ He spends most of his time slightly drunk or sleeping already, when not helping out around the islands. ]

Ye don't want the drugs from my world, but I'd hook ye up with the Sylphs if I could. Their pollen'll have ye seein' things for bells.

[devilstongue]

What's wrong with your world's drugs? I'm not picky.

[ Pause. ]

...oh, I would definitely be into something like that. Pollen? Last time it was some powdered mushroom stuff and I saw floating fish.

[littlemhigan]

Addiction, mostly. Ye don't see many folks who've only dallied with somnus once or twice.

I think it's pollen anyways - behaves like it and comes from flowers, so close enough for me. They pack it inte little bombs and chuck 'em at us 'Walking Ones' te disorient and confuse us. [There's a faint creep of annoyance into her voice at the thought of it.]

...Floating...fish...? How'd ye dream that up?

[devilstongue]

Oh, yes. I can understand that danger, which is why I only try the hard stuff once.

[ Molly why. ]

Pollen sounds really funny, though. Less funny with the attack thing, but still.

[ ...no, still funny. ]

I think we saw into the astral plane or something. It was amazing but we felt like shit afterwards. Not a repeat.

[littlemhigan]

Once can be all it takes, but I'm sure you're more than aware of the dangers.

The pollen's all well an' good and a barrel of laughs until yer trying te navigate Larkscall an' you don't know which way's up or where your hands got to.

[ Which...is definitely funny in theory. ]

...That...sounds like an interesting way te pass an evening.

[devilstongue]

You know, that pollen is exactly what I could need right now.

[ It sounds just good enough to get him the fuck out of his own head. ]

...and it was! I bonded with Beau because she had some as well, and it was all great.

[ You know, until the next morning. ]
