Pitou Blythe 9/4 near Recolle

A.) Anyone got recommendations on where a creep could get some carrion beetles? I have some bones that need cleaning and after doing my due diligence, this seems to be the best way to clean out all those nooks and crannies. Money is no object :3 B.) You can find ANYTHING on youtube! Anyone want to lend me some power tools while I work on my bone sword? C.) Maybe some leather for the hilt too, hmmmm?

I have a big goopy rib bone that needs cleaning and then I am going to carve it down into a nasty sharp edge.

[moneymoneymoney666]

Where did you even get the bone from?!

[playdolls]

Cyclops!

[moneymoneymoney666]

...What?

[playdolls]

Fought a cyclops, stole its rib while it was bleeding out.

[moneymoneymoney666]

...And, how did you exactly end up fighting a cyclops in the first place?

[playdolls]

They apparently live under the city????????? Hell if I know. We beat it up and stole its pinup.

[moneymoneymoney666]

...Okay, you know what? At this point that is beginning to actually sound reasonable, which is depressing.

[playdolls]

And to be fair, I'm not even the one who slit its throat. That's the girl I'm making the sword for. She was my slave for a week in exchange.

[moneymoneymoney666]

Oh? So, who is this girl you are making it for, exactly.

[playdolls]

Mafuyu! She is very good at fetching coffee.

[moneymoneymoney666]

Duly noted.

[playdolls]

Don't get mad, she agreed to it.

[moneymoneymoney666]

That was my assumption. Though, the context around the thing is another matter entirely, one I will not inquire into.

[playdolls]

What, you didn't go on a really tedious adventure last month?

[moneymoneymoney666]

I just got onto this app so... no.

[playdolls]

Oh boy. You're in for a treat. A whole bunch of people need therapy now, so I'm sure you'll hear all about it.

[ Pitou, this is insensitive. Just because you don't have functioning emotions doesn't mean other people are wrong.... ]

[moneymoneymoney666]

Given what I have heard about what has occurred, most likely.

Though, depending on the nature of the trauma in question, therapy might not be the method needed to overcome it.

[playdolls]

It's annoying, but not that big of a deal.
Just beat up the monsters and get on with it.

[moneymoneymoney666]

...That's one way of handling things, I suppose.

[playdolls]

Until one of us develops some power that stops this shit from happening all together, what else are we going to do?

[moneymoneymoney666]

Indeed. Of course, letting traumatic experiences go unaddressed for too long can also be quite harmful.

[ Pitou Blythe's life starts with the bloody murder of a family they don't remember. Every footstep prior to coming to Reco had been haunted by what everyone found extremely traumatic, and assumed should be traumatic to them. Pitou has little understanding of or respect for the idea of 'trauma', over saturated with the concept and finding it stifling. ]

I'm a mortician. I don't find much traumatic.

[And Gallagher has seen many cases like her. He himself was a case. His mother, his father, his wife and his daughter were all dead. Gallagher had only truly been upset by the latter two, and yet he stood here now without their ghosts haunting him and controlling his life. He has seen many horrible things in his profession, heard of crimes that would cause horror and shock in others. Faced down some of the truest scum of society. And he had been the one to sentence them, using his intelligence and rationality. He knew what trauma did to people, from his line of work. Which is why he steeled himself, keeping his moral sense separate from his personal sense. Why if anything did affect him, he dealt with it as quickly as possible. He couldn't let his judgement be compromised.]

And I am a judge. Neither do I.

[playdolls]

Ugh another one of you law bag types. I'm honestly surprised you weren't the judge at my fuckin' assault hearing.
