Got it — that gold-red fern that only opens up during the day? Tobacco like.

Gives you a headache first time you smoke it, but afterwards? Smooth sailing.

Bring me samples of the leaves, drier the better. Found rolling papers.

Or don't. I'm not your mom.

[ Yet despite saying that, attached comes a picture of the aforementioned plant (Sun's Lace), two samples in view: one healthy, the other dried up. ] So you gonks don't poison yourselves toking up the wrong herb.

You're welcome ᝰ🚬

On a scale of 1-10 how bad is the headache?
Like it won't stop me, but I don't like pain bc it's painful

Put a better disclaimer on this shit, Vince! I still feel like I'm fuckin' hungover after trying it.

1/2

[mikoshi]

4 if you rawdog it

2 on the second one

0 once the third one hit

[mikoshi]

Cause you quit cold turkey but now are back on it. Equivalent of getting punched in the face

[rebelsamurai]

More like a punch in the face and a roundhouse kick to the gut. I feel fuckin' queasy.

[mikoshi]

Does my beautiful princess want me to rub his tummy? Sana, sana, colita de rana. Si no sanas hoy, sanarás mañana.

[rebelsamurai]

Remind me to fuckin' kill you later once I feel better. Thnx.

[mikoshi]

You had direct access to my synapses and didn't. You ain't doing shit (˶˘ ³˘(´͈ ᵕ `͈˶)

[rebelsamurai]

Don't get cocky! I might just do it while you're sleeping, or I could cut off your dick—nah. I can't do that.

Nope. Hell no.

2/2

[mikoshi]

And I like pain cause it's painful

We are not the same

[mikoshi]

Yeah, why would you punish yourself like that? I'm not getting a Mr. Stud

[flavourtown]

When you say 'headache', what kind are we talking? A dull pain all over? A tight pain in the forehead or behind the eyes? Any stabbing or sharp pains? Any dizziness?

[coherer]

No
No we are not the same
The only favour God's ever done me, hallelu

Anyway a 4 on the brain Richter scale might be enough to make a baby cry so
Bring it on

[mikoshi]

Damn right, I'm one of a kind. Think the big guy's done you more favors than this though

This a good time to confess I'm the last guy you want brain advice from regarding pain? Cause before coming here, had a brain tumor [ Who he's now dating. It's a long, sordid story. ]

Day I woke up without blood in my mouth, or it pouring down my nostrils, was a good fucking day

[mikoshi]

[ Hot pot fan... ]

Okay, so, had a brain tumor before coming to this place. So my baseline is fucked to say the least

Johnny said he felt queasy. Gonna guess it's more or less the same side effects you get first time your body gets a shot of nicotine

[flavourtown]

[ Jiaoqiu stares at the words 'brain tumor' and firmly tells himself he is no longer a practicing doctor. He does not need to ask follow-up questions. He does not need to pester this man about his former brain tumor. ]

Nausea when exposed to nicotine is certainly normal; headaches are on the more unusual side, but as long as they don't last for more than a day, I suppose there's no real concern.

Still, please do alert someone if you experience any other side-effects. When dealing with unknown alien plants, quick medical attention is vital.

[mikoshi]

[ Jiaoqiu could, instead, question the brain tumor himself. ] Only lasted a couple of hours. Had quit cold turkey til then. Guessing it was that

Will do [ He won't — this is the guy who puked blood and walked it off. ]

[coherer]

No offence intended dude but you have no idea what God has or has not done for me

TMI about your stage 4 cancer too, but I'll take it under advisement
Whatever scale you're working off, a 4 is still easy street

2/2

[coherer]

Sorry

It's fucked up you had to go through that

[mikoshi]

Okay, making sure after that mood whiplash — should I keep shit to myself or not?

audio;

[justamobster]

Good man. Glad one of us hit gold, yeah?

[coherer]

It's not like there's one answer to that man
I got snippy and I said sorry
Hearing about the details, even if it's different from what I've seen before idk
It's rough
Nobody should have to go through that
I just didn't expect it to come outta nowhere, that's it

[mikoshi]

[ Seems to Vincent like there is a single answer, actually. ]

Okay
Sorry I got TMI
Thank you for caring

[coherer]

No no, it's okay, really
I'm all in my head about it

You're good now though?
If you don't mind me asking how does that like.....
Work

[mikoshi]

[ Isn't answering that because he really doesn't know. Is he good? This place is starting to wear on him — its people. ]

It doesn't [ Work, that is. ]

But the tumor is excised
Walking around now
So it doesn't matter

[ Might still only have six months to live, a reality he was purposely avoiding thinking about. Did these Ascendants fix the damage to his body too? Or is this just another suicide run? ]
