[dolcedeleche]

How often are you hungover?

[busball]

not as often as i used to be?

[dolcedeleche]

What do you usually drink if you are?

I might be able to make a hangover medicine, but it'd be experimenting a lot since I don't already know the recipe. And I haven't seen any medicine bread available.

[busball]

really depends on the day. i'm in tauva a lot. so sometimes just whiskey...but then sometimes also rum or tequila? but sometimes i mix a lot of stuff together, so...yeah.

oh...or do you mean for the hangover?

medicine bread?

[dolcedeleche]

I meant for the hangover :)

It gives you recipes. [That's how everyone learns recipes, right? You eat BREAD.]

[busball]

oh. just the coffee and aspirin. we don’t have like special drinks. unless you’re diego trying to punish everyone. or if you’re drinking again to take off the edge.

it does? bread??? i don’t think our worlds do things the same. bread has never told me recipes.

[dolcedeleche]

What's coffee? And aspirin? Is that a medicine?

Well, it has to be special bread. If it's normal bread for toast, or raisin bread or whatever, it won't do anything. And not everyone can do it just because they get the special bread. If it's too hard for them, it won't work. Forte keeps trying, but it's not helping her cook any better.

[busball]

coffee is like...a hot drink? it's just caffeine? well...no...it's made from coffee beans but i dunno. five could explain it better. i'm just like...me. and yeah. aspirin is medicine.

what's special bread? is this like a hallucinogen or something? do you guys like eat weird drug bread and then like know shit? like that one time i ate shrooms and was pretty sure i had the answer for like...so many different things at once?

[dolcedeleche]

Okay. I will remember this.

No, it's just magic. Yeah, you eat it, and learn recipes.
Um, mushrooms?
Are you sure you weren't poisoned?

[busball]

oh. cool. don't tell...a- uh tayrey about it. she doesn't believe in magic. and she gets weird about it.
unless you don't care.

yeah. they're like...drugs. but the cool kind. you see all kinds of shit, which is fun unless the trip goes wrong and then it's a terrible nightmare. that's why we couldn't do shrooms on the ship.

[dolcedeleche]

She doesn't... believe in it? Does she also not believe in seasons? Or day and night? What?

Okay, don't do shrooms. I'd be more worried about them using your body for spore farming and trying to reproduce through you like you're soil.

[busball]

it’s just…a thing. i don’t get it. but no. she believes in day and night and science.

nah. it’s just regular, non-magic shrooms.

[dolcedeleche]

So if you show her magic with science she'd believe it?

Sounds boring. Some are good for medicine, but you have to be almost an expert to know the difference without poisoning yourself.

[busball]

maybe? i don’t know.

huh. i’m fine with psychedelic effects instead.

[dolcedeleche]

Okay, I will be careful. I'm used to people not believing in ghosts, even when they meet Pico. It's pretty funny. Did you ever have a lot of that?

Are you really able to function like that?

[busball]

nah. probably cause i was famous.
if they didn’t they never said so

yeah? i mean maybe things are weird for a bit, but it wears off.

[dolcedeleche]

You were famous?

That is what Preludes to Love are like. Seems like a hassle. Especially if you get into a fight.

[busball]

yeah. superheroes and all that.

i don’t really fight that much. and i wasn’t doing drugs so much when i was a superhero teen.

[dolcedeleche]

We don't have those. Even Earthmates are kind of anonymous. Oh, but royalty are kind of famous. And the dragons themselves, of course.

What about here? Seems pretty dangerous between piano mimics, and the monsters in the clothing shop.

[busball]

sounds weird. yeah. they used to have parties for us and stuff. people just sort of know us.

ehhhhh. i don’t fight really here.

[dolcedeleche]

Super weird. Was it fun? It sounds like a hassle.

[busball]

it was kind of cool and kind of annoying at the same time. like sometimes there were cute boys to flirt with, but also we were like 13-16ish. before ben died. then i didn’t really care.

[dolcedeleche]

I guess that's cool. I have not flirted with cute boys though, so I wouldn't know if I was doing it right. Would you do it now, even though people wouldn't know you the same? We could throw you weird parties and stuff.

[busball]

you should try it.
flirt with cute boys or go to parties?

[dolcedeleche]

Either. I've never done either.
I became a dragon guardian before I had a chance for much of either.
And I usually have Pico around so she's pretty good at scaring most boys off.
