cw: parasites/body horror

[moondregs]

Periodically… I feel like something is … under my skin.

Hard like chitin? Painful? Describe what it feels like.

[moondregs]

Wiggly. Lots of them. In different areas. Sometimes they scratch.

Have you seen any movement under your skin?

cw: parasites/body horror cont

[moondregs]

No. Just felt it.

[princess_of_ida]

Okay. What have you done to try to remedy this feeling?

I want to come look at you later, after I'm done with today's corpse. [She hesitated a moment.] If that's okay?

When it’s happening I want to … slice things off. Ari got it to stop but … I don’t know for how long.

Have you... hurt yourself to get at the wiggling things?

cw: parasites/body horror/self mutilation implication

[moondregs]

My body is covered in scratches. Someone took away my knives. My scalpels. I don’t … remember who …

[Now she knew why Aristeaus said Junpei might need to be restrained.]

But Aristeaus made the sensation go away temporarily, so you don't feel this need right now?

[moondregs]

N-no … I don’t think … I’m so tired, Ianthe.

[princess_of_ida]

You need rest. Can I necromantically induce a full eight hours without dreams in you?

[moondregs]

Please. I can’t go near the clinic.

[princess_of_ida]

Alright. I'll come by after I've finished with this body and get you settled in. If you want Murphy to stay with you, let him know. Nothing short of pain or literally shaking you will wake you once I work the theorem.

[moondregs]

All right. He’s coming.

[princess_of_ida]

Make sure to wash up in the banya beforehand. It'll help.

[Especially if it is an allergic reaction like she suspected.]

[moondregs]

Is it really safe for me to do that? What if it starts up again while I’m out?

[princess_of_ida]

That's why you take Murphy with you.

[moondregs]

Ah, right.

I hate to hold him up that long, but …

[princess_of_ida]

You're important. He'll be fine with it.

[moondregs]

It’ll really only be eight hours, right? I’ve missed so much time at the clinic already.

[princess_of_ida]

I promise I'll set it for only eight hours. There's plenty of help in the Clinic right now. You know Magda will tell you to stay away.
