--you wouldn't mind it?? B,but it's so peaceful. Is. . .is that your wish?

...I guess it depends on what you mean by "spicy."

Specifically, I wouldn't mind something like a carafe of an especially good vintage of blood. Something truly restorative. You know what I mean?

Spicy but not catastrophic.

Ummm. Um. Sure!! I can do that.

Does this help??

[6. not today rose]

[ bruh

ROLLED A 5 NOT TODAY SATAN ]

Wow!! Yes! Thank you!!

You're the best, Vera! The best priest ever!!

I will have to concur.

Well, I feel a lot better about this, now.

Wanna head out?

I suppose we should.

Though I wouldn't be opposed to just staying here, truth be told.

I mean, the ambiance is pretty peak. Can't say I blame you.

Do you wanna stay here while I look around? Maybe you can chat us some of these folks and figure out what the fuck's going on.

...I would have said yes to that at one point, but I have a feeling this place would prefer we stayed together.

Who gives a shit what this place wants? If you want to stay, then stay.

Is this your way of saying you'd rather go without me?

It's my way of saying, I'm not responsible for your happiness, just like you're not responsible for mine. You shouldn't let other people -- or mysterious rituals -- decide how you live your life.

If you actually have a preference about something for a change, I encourage you to follow it, if only just to see what it's like. Don't depend on other people to decide your life for you. They won't always have the best ideas, or your best interest, at heart.
