Death is such a strong word... I prefer "corporeally dislocated".

He should totally have a conversation with Shealtiel in the 10 seconds he's dead. :D

"Oh, hi, how...erm...nice to see y--"

-yanked back to his corporeal form-

-is lost towards that character in death thing-
I thought it was clear...if a fast acting venom causes you to pass out quickly...your chances of survival are slim unless you are Thomas-like.
Umm...as a note, there may still be venom in Dante's blood...as a warning to restoring him to life...

Muahahaha! The ideas of blood! *Goes on a routine Jason-esq Murder Spree*
Speaking of psychos...look up "Take This Lollipop"

Obviously time flows differently in post-mortal shock. :P

And, oh don't worry, Lawtan, he's got the blood covered. ;)

Also, Shealtiel, was my necromancer in the previous Esch roleplay. He, um, liked to harass Dante. :P

...Law, you're not helping Suze get out of the mindset that you're a serial killer >.>

...
*Refuses to comment on such a possibility*

Is your address 2345 Dudley Ln.? Next to Potter Street.

But then again, leaving him in debilitating pain until Gall's healerboy rolls along would be amusing.

Oh, Tarja can do that one already. ;). Well, perhaps not *pure* fire but when you're burning to death from the inside out, is there really any appreciable difference?


Still at a loss for what to post. -.-

Tanja + Unnamed person interaction?
I was meaning that the enzymes from the venom get into the bloodstream, making havoc, and it likely feels like fire running with each heartbeat across your body...
...I may have had nightmares about snake venom before due to copperheads in my home for a few years...

IN your home? Holy fucking hell.

Nah, I don't need my piss to feel like fire; heartburns are bad enough.

Well, under/in the garage. Clay+Stone = very little "basement" space...but it is "cubby" enough to lay eggs in.
Black snakes (Rat Snakes) chase copperheads out, btw. Not knowing this, my parents killed a few...and I got to walk within ~1 meter of one as a kid as a result, saying "I won't bother you, if you don't bother me..."
It worked...until I told everyone else there was a snake...then it met Mr. Shovel.
I've also seen a black widow and her young meet their end in a cup of bleach. It left the exoskeleton of the spider...and her babies in their eggs...you could make out the forms...

Yeah, if you have to kill something, at least make the death quick and relatively painless. Bleach is not a good way to go.

*Shrugs* That was when I still hadn't quite learned that bugs were more than toys for me to play with, and my parents have few qualms about sending hundreds of invasive beetles to drown for eating the raspberry and blackberry bushes.

...I get really twitchy when there's meaningless bloodshed and suffering. Probably being a bit too empathetic.

?

I was referring to turning blood to pure fire, since the comment was floating around.

As to noticing little things, you might be surprised what people notice, or don't notice, when reading. A lot of it has to do with what people are familiar with. An IV doesn't necessarily use a syringe, hence why I was confused. I can understand the pump, but the two together seems odd. I'm not totally sure though. It's getting a little out of my area.

*Knows, but it was either let an invasive species of insects kill the crops, or kill them. And it was either let the spiders threaten myself as a kid, or kill them. Oddly, after I was older, I started to feel bad about stepping on snails and other creatures. Heck, my parents think me to sentimental for saving beetles from drowning nowdays.*

If it wasn't clear, my previous post had the invisible prefix: "WWJD?" :|

-snorts in amusement-

Suze should post refs for Thomas. Art needs to be a thing.

Actually, could I try to draw the different Eschaton characters?

Nothing preventing you from doing that. But I know you're a bit protective of your own characters -- may I draw her?

If you do, mind if I watch? (I know you don't really like that, but I think I may be able to do better if I see it in practice)

Unless you are somehow able to watch me draw in class, no.

Nuts...
I admit I am more twitchy on Kadia than on my other characters...mainly because I drew her so poorly a while back and haven't corrected that yet...
Go ahead and draw her, but could you hold off a day or so on posting her...
I know that is asking a ton.

-shrug- I can just not draw her, like I didn't with Calli.

I've never really actually given much thought to how Thomas looks before, but I suppose: Middling height, shaven head and beard grown to noticeable stubble in the time we've been here, wears a beige full-length robe set with ceramic plates like a medieval Jack of Plates, obviously his right hand has been burned down to titanium at this point, carries that massive rifle slung across his back (it's 5 ft. long, weighs 30 pounds), sawn-off shotgun holstered on his hip, SMG in the breast of his robe. Deep-set eyes (has weird augmented reality lenses, not sure what they look like) --alternatively his eyes are on fire while he's wielding his theurgy..., either wears a mantle the same color as his robe or has the electro-tentacles visible. Has his wrist-blades, 18". Has a white leather glove on his non-burned hand, dirty white white leather high combat boots. Belt is also white leather (because cyborgs have fashion sense!), thick with a large bronze buckle.

I think that's about it.

A really terrible mock-up: :X

....He looks like a gun-toting Jedi.

What?! He does! Even before Suze posted a pic.

But maybe "I don't want to look like a ghastly abomination"?

....Welp, I was going to draw, and then my mental state went nope, and theeennnn I realized tomorrow's the last day of class before TG and my parents are coming and oh god I don't know if that's a good thing or not.

So I did a scribbly thing because physics got boring. Just a quick ref for Dante if anyone needs it/shameless art plug. Don't worry about the stuff on the right. Was doing face comparisons.

That looks really good, Espy. :)

I'm currently in the process of trying to figure out just what sort of deer skull Tarja has on her head. I need to find a deer with a skull big enough to rest on top of a human skull, but with small enough antlers that can still fit through doorways. I'd go with white tail but there don't appear to be any of those outside of North America.

Hm...Muntjac have pretty small horns, but they're not as...pretty...as the deer we usually think of.

Not as impressive, true, but infinitely more practical. If they're the same guys I saw all over the walls of a German pub, then they might not be big enough. Of course, could always just say that one of them *was* big enough.

Or maybe her parents took a hunting trip to North America and brought home a trophy, pre-end of the world.
