He thinks. "Well, I don't know. I wanted to cook even when I was a toddler. But then, as a teen, my parents wanted me to make their dishes, and I just... hated it. For years, I hated cooking. Every day someone would yell at me because the food wasn't 'perfect,' because it didn't meet 'our standards of quality' when I wasn't even allowed to touch the stove anymore, just observe and guide the other chefs. But then I cooked a giant spider and everything was right in the world again. I guess... I want to make art. I want to make something that challenges people, but is still an enjoyable experience."
Granny sighs, shaking her head. "Girl, for such a strong soul, you've got a real nervous disposition. You've let me push you around all night and you never said what you wanted. So what do you want? If you just want tea, I'm good with that. Bread. We could read books. Knit. Can you knit in that armor?"
"May I ask how you wish to challenge folk?" He asks, tilting his head from side to side, listening.
She shakes her head "It's okay.... I don't like choosing or doing much.." she said "And I can take off my armor but you can't touch me or look ate or you'll go insane."
"I wanna like... show them that there is a whole world they don't know about, or force them to confront something they've ignored for a long time. I want them to be uncomfortable, but then to come to terms with it. I want them to gain clarity, and come back for more even if it hurts to learn."
"Heh. Trust me, you don't need to worry about that. I'll stay five feet from you at all times, and keep my eyes in my pocket."
"Pushing the outside their comfort zone in a way?" Angél asks.
She nods and begins to unshell herself from the armor and setting it aside. "Okay.."
It's magically delicious, and he can now understand what the enchantment was: it turns the vile into the wonderful. The kind of enchantment that makes poisoned apples and baby meat pies and wriggling maggots look and taste like the greatest thing in the world. But those things do not compare to the horrors of the Weeping Pox. It tastes divine. The tea itself is mostly mundane, and would probably have been unaffected by the spell, but the added flavor of the virulent cruelty brings out the best elements of it tenfold.
"You think this was worth walking into a plagued district for? I think it was." She scoops up a teacup for herself.
He smiles broadly at the flavors, unique in how terrible and yet delicious it is “I haven’t had something this good in a little bit of time, I would say it was worth it, but that’s just my own opinion. I’m a decent cook myself, tell me if you will, where is your home? If I’m ever going to visit I’ve got to know where you live won’t I?”
She curtseys. Thank you, Rag. I live out in the woods, but not that far from town. I like to be able to keep up with local events, and I like to make sure if anyone wants to visit it won't be too inconvenient. I don't remember if I have multiple houses or something like that, but my house is always close. I have a sign on the door so you can know if I'm in or out. I spend a lot of time feeding peas to the ducks. Sometimes I make special bread that they can eat. They love that, but people can't tell it from normal bread so either they think I'm poisoning the ducks or they think they can do it themselves with their bread. So I usually just feed them peas. I like ducks."
Riotan is making various poisons with a Breaking Bad-esque chemistry kit.
Eito is contemplating life's greatest mysteries.
Loriche, as she is hunting, see's a figure dressed in silver armor. They seem to to be just wandering around.
Samaritan is overseeing him so he doesn't end up doing something awful.
"Hm?" She keeps her distance but tries to get a closer look.
Rio looks up at him, his hands utterly precise and inerrant. "Hiiiii!"
As she gets closer, she can feel a sort of aura around them. The figure turns around. "O-oh, please.. keep.. keep your distance ma'am." A feminine voice says.
He smiles "Hello ya goof." He said and kisses his head.
"Sorry, sorry." She stays as far back as needed but doesn't actively move away.
Rio kisses him back in turn.
"Okay.. okay ." She said, turning towards her "if you get close you might go insane.."
"How're you?" He asked.
“I mean, I don’t have a brain anymore…”
“Good. I’m trying to experiment with different toxins and stuff. I’m no chemist but I think it’s cool.”
"Still... I've seen it happen to people.. they become brainless, mindless zombies." She said.
"It is cool, I like it. What are you gonna make?"
“Well I’m not a zombie. I’m just a spirit, I suppose. What kind of zombies?” She looks very curious?
“Ricin. Easy to synthesize from castor oil. Pretty crazy, huh?”

“I’ll make sure to visit you whenever you would like to have someone over, I don’t have too much in the way of obligations. I help people around town, but no one needs me anywhere, I have a job, but I don’t need the money and the owner is a good friend of mine who would understand me missing a few hours of work on occasion, I always make it up anyway. Look at me, I’m rambling, I apologize.”
"Dusty brown... that's a nice color for a kitty." The old woman slowly steps out partially into the light. She's obese, green-skinned, and over 6 feet tall. She wears old leather shoes with flowers and butterflies painted on them. He still can't see her face or half her torso, but she has long, rusted claws on her visible hand. "Hey... do you like beetles?"
Mauric retreats three steps back. “N-no…”
"Is something wrong, dearie?" She tilts her head, cracking her neck audibly. She shuffles slightly closer. She's holding something in her other hand.

"Thank you sweetie." She smiles, but there is a faint sadness. "I like talking with you. The people here are nice. I try to be nice back... but everyone knows to never trust a witch."

*Because I’m doing with everyone else already, do you want to rp as well Jobah?*
*Sure but I may need to depart soon in addition*
*Of course, I would entirely understand if you did. Who would you like,*
*Uhh Tengen and Heriot*
*Of course my friend.*
Tengen is standing in an alley, next to him are two corpses mangled beyond recognition, his hands trembling as he attempts to smother his boundless rage.
Heriot is working out in the cold forest, her sweat and constant activeness keeping the cold from harming her, doing burpies in a clearing.

“Everyone? I assume I am excluded from that then, because I trust you as far as I can throw you, and I can throw most people very far.” He smiles widely, chuckling “Even if you hurt me, I would try to forgive you. Do you want a hug?” He holds out his arms.

The red lights go out. "Oh..." She whispers. She shuffles back a bit and moves the item to her other hand. It's a picnic basket. Her skin takes on a pinkish tone, and her iron claws become fingernails.

She leaps with a shocking strength into his arms, launching herself all the way to his chest. Her arms extend to get a better grip on him, reaching around to hold the sides of his torso. "You're a good boy..." She says, repeating herself from earlier in the conversation. She can feel her tears sizzling into steam against him.
