Hey. This is Forte... or Anarchy, I guess. I wanted to talk to you. You once said that you thought you might be able to help in the event of drugs or issues along that line becoming an issue.

Oh, yeah. Hi.

What's the problem? ...If it's too personal to talk about over the phone, we can talk at the Acidia cabins, too.

Here's fine. It might not even be something you can help with. I just thought I'd check.

Did you see what happened the other day? With that vampire hag?

Yeah... getting bitten gave you a high, didn't it?

Fucked up, right...?

[Especially since she bit him all the way down to the bone.]

Do you think it's possible to... counteract shit like that? I mean... something that would prevent getting poisoned by whatever the fuck her fangs are from the start?

If it's a poison, we could find an antivenom, but that wouldn't shield you from it - only help treat it after the fact.

If it's just part of her Blessing, it's even trickier.

Yeah...

I kind of have a method of really peering into a person's blessings. I didn't notice anything like that with her, though. Maybe it all happened so fast that I just missed it since she took me out faster than I would have liked. But I'm not so sure any of that was actually a blessing at all.

[In the same way that the Showmaster is a freak.]

I thought it might be far-fetched or difficult. It was just a thought. If there's a way to counter her, I thought it might be worth a try, though. Hell, even just feeding her poisoned blood. But that would mean poisoning the carrier, which isn't any good either.

[Hmmm...]

In that case, we'd need a sample of the venom as well as the tools to actually study it. But I'm not sure how we could get something like that...

I can't help with anything when it comes to tools. But do you think her venom would still be in my system? It's not even been a full day.

That... depends on how quickly your body metabolized it, I suppose. But I'm not sure we could even preserve a sample of your blood until we get the tools to analyze it anyway.

Damn... it was worth a shot. Maybe it's something we can all look into in the future.

Yeah... sorry. I'll let you know if we can get our hands on some equipment somehow, but unless there's a lab onboard I'm not sure how much we can do.

Thanks for thinking about it anyway. If we turn up some crazy-ass mad-scientist lair or something, I'll be sure to share the news.

Thanks, I'd appreciate it - not just for the chance to research that bite, but because I'm sure I could find all sorts of other uses that could benefit everyone aboard the ship, too.

Yeah, no problem. I figure we all got a better chance of figuring shit out and getting stuff done if the families are working together.

[The unholies are disorderly and independent but that doesn't mean they aren't willing to work with others.]

I agree, one hundred percent!

Let's keep in touch then. Thanks.

That works for me. Ah, should we trade numbers?

You can call my personal one if you like.

[He'll send that over.]
