this all sounds harmless

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?

ah
my mistake then

[ As if that's any less weird????? ]

er
have... fun? i guess?
dunno what carrion beetles are but ill keep an eye out

[playdolls]

They're beetles that eat flesh, which can be a particularly expedient way to clean tissue from bones without damaging them. Honestly,
one of the best ways is to outright bury it and let the stuff decompose on its own,
but then you're on the timeline of mother nature.

[ ........ Gross? ]

that
sounds like a pretty major inconvenience
guessing you cant just pick up these guys at any old pet or gardening store huh?

[playdolls]

No, they're pretty specific. Luckily there's google "Buy Skull Cleaning Bugs"

[kittycaterer]

i learned something today
what exactly are you going for with the bones?

[ God, why are you asking, Noctis? ]

[playdolls]

They're called Dermestid Beetles officially,
by the way.

Someone asked me to make a sword with it. I've never made a sword before. I do little pieces of jewelry sometimes, I sell them to the witchy chicks I hang out with like once a month for the occult fair. I mostly go to look at the outfits, but making some extra cash never hurt.

[kittycaterer]

hm
wouldnt be interested in the occult but uh
thats actually pretty cool?
the crafts i mean
not
the occult

[playdolls]

I agree. Although I've had to accept the occult's existence as people keep acquiring magical powers.

[ They are cranky about this because a.) they don't have a power yet b.) no one with a power will let them perform ethically suspect experiments on them to learn more about it. LOOKING AT YOU IZUNIA. ]

[ THAT TRASH BASTARD, ARDYN. ]

fair point
at least youre making a profit out of it
so theres some good there

[playdolls]

I've always liked making decorative things. I paint and clothe my own dolls, make a lot of my own clothes, do commissions for costumes and props--

[ It's almost as if there's something shallow about this person. Able to change clothes and appearances at the drop of hat, with so much ease and flair, but what's on the inside? ]

[kittycaterer]

[ Noctis isn't sure what to think, but... Well, they're talking. So, he might as well keep going. ]

halloween's just around the corner
you prepping for that?

[playdolls]

Definitely! I like to go to all the goth clubs for Halloween.

[kittycaterer]

any ideas on what you're dressing up as?

[playdolls]

Skeleton kitty? Evil doctor? Zombie stripper? Dragon?!

[kittycaterer]

dragon sounds pretty awesome
pretty partial to skeleton kitty though

[playdolls]

Welcome to the cat fam.

[kittycaterer]

think ive been part of the cat fam for a while
ive got one at home
her names etro

[playdolls]

I have five,
and usually a few fosters. I do a lot of cat volunteering. Has Etro has her shots and checkup lately?

[kittycaterer]

yup
fixed too
actually been meaning to take her in to get her claws trimmed

[playdolls]

[ Pitou also needs their own claws trimmed but let's... not talk about it... ]

A good cat owner, such a rarity. DO you know how many people I have to lecture about getting their pets spayed and neutered??

[kittycaterer]

[ RIP. ]

ive got no doubt you've had to call out plenty
im a pretty good pet dad
i think
ive got a dog too
well
two, technically

[playdolls]

Bi-petual traitor.

[kittycaterer]

what?
is that a bad thing?

[playdolls]

We all make our own choices.

[kittycaterer]

not... sure how thats a bad choice
they all get along really well
