I take Slow K now. Gel caps. No taste :). (And a good pill trick, if you can manage it, is to put water in your mouth first and float the pill so it doesn't actually hit your tongue. That's how I manage prednisone.)

There is a reason we aren't seeing Dara in this role play. She probably would have entered a twitchy fugue state by now.

Tea?

Some of Rurik's Processes - I am adding a 101st snake, because it makes more sense for taking out Dante (to me). Also would explain why Dante get so few snakes - the "pack leader" went after him.

[Snake.colors == {33000, fffaa; 04400, ffaac}
Snake.pattern == 3:1_stripe_ratio
Snake.head == Common, no abnormalities

[Snake identified…

The few symptoms of having been bitten are: The facial muscles get tight in one to two hours, the patient may be unable to talk or see, and, if left untreated, the patient may die from respiratory paralysis within four to five hours. A clinical toxicology study gives an untreated mortality rate of 70-80%.

That actually sounds less dangerous than the rest. Certainly not enough to kill him before Thomas gets over, I would think.

Hmm...maybe another one, then.
Found a venom forum. That should help.

You could always just make it some kind of... hell-snake-thing. :P

...
*goes against the idea of research it*
Also, I apparently don't know as much about venom/snakes as I thought.
Apparently, there are two different venoms for the "false horned viper" you posted (two subcategories of snake - one is neurotoxic and hemorrhagic, the other just hemorrhagic.)

Don't bother, I made it up. :P

Malbolge is one of the circles of Hell. ;)

(Was referring to a post a while back)
Naja haje would kill Dante in 10 minutes, but he may not feel it, so...
(I may wind up mixing the two - no telltale cobra hood features)

I don't really like where this --

I LOVE WHERE THIS CONVERSATION IS GOING.

To be honest, I didn't do any research on the toxins. I usually do, because reading about that stuff is fun. (Did this a couple years back to figure out which toxins Dante carried around as an augment for his knife, and then because I played as a poison-manipulating gang leader and I didn't want him to poison himself.)

TTX is best poison.

STONEWALL WAS A RIOT

#907

Well, these are venoms...a mixture of enzymes that cause certain reactions in the body to accelerate in ways that kill people.
*May need help understanding from the person who recently took chemistry...*
And...most likely everyone already knows that...
What makes TTX the best?
By the way, the fastest "death by venom" ranges 15 minutes to 3 hours...
Hell-snakishness may be needed.

I failed chemistry... 9 years ago (Jesus how has it been that long?). Don't look at me. :P

Hell snakes def needed. Just take the symptoms, and amp them up, that usually covers it.

I may not need to up the venom effects, unless we want Dante to be permanently damaged, but the time has been upped.
Devil's Mamba.
Also, Espy, feel free to write a "Dante Hallucinates when he wakes up" scene - it's an effect of the venom.

If we let Dante be killed for a bit, then the damage to his body can be fully repaired before he enters it. Spiritual magic healing can do things that proper medicine can't. Like how Thomas completely obliterated Bugeye's organs, and then fixed him up again.

"permanently damaged" is not going to happen from snake venom.

#912

Unless it's HELL VENOM (tm), in which case there might be some issues, cause Thomas isn't all that good a healer, and soul healing takes a delicate touch. (That's where you'll get permanent damage)
