Bad Decisions Have Been Made

[storytelleroftime]

THIS IS A PSA ON BEHALF OF TEAM ABSINTHE! MOSTLY ME THOUGH!

Please do not pull off blood sacrifice.

75% of the time that will fuck you over. Source on that figure: A retrospec employee who literally tripped and got stuck in a chest and we had to rescue. So his info might not be uh, the most accurate thing in the world but still.

But seriously don't. I lost a finger and I got nothing but dark miasma, everyone thinking I was a crazy person, and suffering. And only TWO of those are an ordinary part of my life. Nine fingered typing is infinitely harder than you would think it would be! It's really inconvenient and annoying. Along with, well, missing a pinkie. That's a bad thing.

So I'm putting this up here to make sure no one repeats my mistake, and at least, someone gets something out of this.

I'm pretty sure pinky fingers are important in everyday life...

[storytelleroftime]

They really, really are. But I mean, if you sacrifice a finger, it's not the worst one to lose. Not like I cut off my thumb or something.

[adoringpast]

Blood sacrifices aren't even effective... Creepy occult shit never does.

[storytelleroftime]

Well I wasn't doing the occult form of it! I was doing it for one of those challenges we had in our dungeon.

[adoringpast]

The challenge made you sacrifice a body part?!

[ JESUS FUCK ]

[storytelleroftime]

Nah, it didn't. I chose to sacrifice it. Which, actually only made things worse for us.

Specifically it was asking for any good deeds we'd done in our life. I hadn't done any so, I made one up on the spot.

[adoringpast]

What does sacrificing your damn pinky finger have anything to do with good deeds... I'm pretty sure it didn't mean you being a fucking martyr.

[storytelleroftime]

It's a show of will. After all, what is goodness but a long chain of sacrifices for the sake of long term benefit? though, this doesn't actually benefit me at all.

[adoringpast]

Usually you'd feel good after doing a good deed... This backfired on you so badly I don't even know.

[storytelleroftime]

Tell me about it. Now I'm not an idiot, but that was an utterly idiotic decision.

[adoringpast]

Not an idiot, but totally a dumbass.

[storytelleroftime]

Honestly? I'm just utterly insane.
