Sooo.

Today I learned that my strings do not in fact cut through bone.

Bonus: I learned I can have Stone Free type shit for me instead.

No, you're not getting any context for this shit.

I might have made a mistake this time.

[Boy!! He really didn't want to read this!!]

I think I get the general idea and I wish I didn't.

Are you going to be okay?

UN: GreenDolphin

[strings_theory]

Good news is that I'm mostly okay?

[strings_theory]

[SORRY, TOBIAS. SHE HAD TO NOTE IT SOMEWHERE.]

It's not like I tried to cut my fucking hand off or something, goddamn.

Yeah, I'm mostly fine.

[lifeforced]

"Mostly" isn't "totally".

[She might be going to bring this to Hieke's attention, if he hasn't been paying attention to the network himself.]

You gonna be able to get here or does someone need to go to you?

[deuteranope]

trade you context for a kiss

[strings_theory]

Already on my way, I swear I'm not gonna just dip out and think I can heal this or some shit.

Bat grandpa hasn't really taught me that kind of shit yet, so shit outta luck on that front.

[strings_theory]

Context is literally was wondering if my strings could cut through bone.

Spoilers: nope.

Which honestly is probably good for me?

[buddinghopes]

The more you know... I guess...

Are you gonna be okay?

[strings_theory]

Gotta learn some way or another and better me than someone else, right?

Yeah, yeah. Christ, would I be making a post like this if I was actually not okay? Come on, I might be reckless, but I'm not that bad. [Okay, no, actually she is.]

[deuteranope]

you made it sound waaaay more interesting and now I'm fucking disappointed

where you at rn anyway so I can head over?
hey can't you weave your string into a bandage or something? some spider bitch gave me her totally not buttsilk to get my bleeding to stop once

[strings_theory]

Sorry it's not me setting myself on fucking fire again????

My room in Aube, though probably heading to the infirmary or w/e here in a bit since everyone's whining at me to do so.

Uhhh.

I... could. If my strings weren't, you know, my fucking skin. I don't know if that'd actually fuckin' work.

[hawkwardness]

[No need to be rude about it, it's not like this is his fault!!]

Why would you do that to yourself? Buy a steak with bone in it or something, geez.

[deuteranope]

damn right you're sorry

I'll still go in case you pass out on the way or some shit
should probably learn doc's summoning circle though with your fucking stupid ass

how the fuck do you think skin grafts work???

[buddinghopes]

Can't argue that, at least.

[And this is.... probably better than Jolyne setting herself on fire. She thinks.]

Okay that's a fair point.

[strings_theory]

'Sides, I'll heal or w/e.

[It's absolutely better than the fire incident, but is she going to actually get help like she said she would? Who knows, it's a mystery.]

[strings_theory]

Wow, how fucking rude while I'm over here bleeding. I'm fucking hurt.

You know, I don't know if Stone Free still works while I'm passed out...

LOOK, I GOTTA FIGURE THIS SHIT OUT SOMEHOW, MAV. IT'S NOT MY FUCKING FAULT NO ONE TAUGHT ME SHIT.

But that's not me actively fucking manipulating my goddamned skin???????

[strings_theory]

Steak's aren't the same as human fucking flesh, dude.

Gotta know my own limits, too. So win-win.

[deuteranope]

whatever dude you can have your hand back later when you're not at risk of bleeding out

and what happens if you unravel the bloody part? can you still bleed if it's all fucking string??

you're kind of a huge fucking weirdo even at this school of freaks
a big ol science project

[strings_theory]

Maybe I'll bleed out just to fucking spite you.

... I don't know, actually. brb, let me try that.

[That... actually takes a few minutes, oops.]

The pain and shit is still there so I'm not sure if it's still technically bleeding????????

Believe me, I fuckin' know. And I kinda fuckin' hate it.

[bolderfell]

[Christ, Jolyne.

A short while later--though, hopefully, she's gotten herself to the infirmary by now--one of the windows near the end of the room quietly, carefully opens just enough for someone to peer inside and check up on whoever might be there.]

[strings_theory]

[T H E R I O N, USE A DOOR LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

Because all that's doing is getting her to blankly stare at said window and casually flip him off with her good hand.

Guess who the liar was about trying to take her hand off, it's her.]

What the fuck.

[bolderfell]

That's my line. What did you do.

[In the meantime, he unshoulders his ratty bookbag, sets it on the sill, and starts to root around inside.]

[strings_theory]

[Pft, at least her attention is on the bookbag as she has no idea what he's up to right now.]

Didn't see the fuckin' network post or something?

Like I said, wanted to see if my strings could cut bone. Turns out just flesh. And muscle. So, hey, learned something new. [Jolyne, that is the literal worst.]

[deuteranope]

a real bitch move

huh
internal bleeding ain't great either
unless it's just like storing it up and when it goes back you scare the shit out of someone walking by because you just splattered the fucking floor
