UN: Epicyon -Text

[heromedal]

With all of the extra time due to the break, I'm looking for new projects. Apparel, mechanical devices, weaponry, etc. I'm also willing to research spells or other topics.

If it's for personal use, I'll work out a price of some sort but equipment for use in serving the academy's goals I don't see any reason to take from people when it benefits us all anyway.

You don't necessarily need to know what you want- if you've just got a problem, creating a solution would be my part of the process.

Contact me here or ask for Rex in the Anvil, I'm there most days, the staff know me. If it's closed, I'm probably in the Hall of Pythia. Or the Legionnaire Quarters. Thinking about it, just contact me here.

[ Because he could also be in a cave somewhere being weird or in a van being weird or planting onions in the woods. ]

[heromedal]

Just a phrase.

[ That literally no one has ever used but him. ]

It would also look better if I had another face, but this one was a gift, so I shall keep it.

[transfusionem]

Uh huh.

[She doesn't think so!!]

If it's a gift, you'd think you'd take better care of it.

[She would tell Rex that his face isn't so bad, constant exhaustion asides, but she feels that would lessen her point.

...Also telling someone they're objectively hot is a kind of weird Adelaide's not ready to commit to.]

[heromedal]

[ Not gonna rebuke an 'uh huh.' Gonna let that drop. ]

There's only so much I can do when this is what my face looks like at the best of times.

[ He's sticking to the idea he just looks like this, in the hopes she feels worse the longer he sticks to it and gives up. ]

[transfusionem]

There's a lot you can do. Like sleep. And eat. And generally not work yourself to death. It'd take you from a nine to an eleven.

[She does feel a little bad, but she's also stubborn enough to really dig in her heels.]

[heromedal]

What do those values signify?

[ Beep boop Rexbot. ]

[transfusionem]

It's just a shitty way of ranking how hot someone is on a scale from one to ten, with ten being "hot as hell".

[Someday you'll learn.]

[heromedal]

[ Huh. Well, that's new informa t i o n

ten is "hot as hell" and she thinks he's currently a nine and could hit eleven

Oh no.

He's really glad he's warded his phone against damage because he throws the damn thing against the wall and looks around for the nearest window, before he works out there's no point jumping out of it to escape a text.

Aww crap. What did he do to this poor girl!? Is this some sort of side effect of drinking his blood? What is he going to do?


He's going to wait forty-five minutes to calm down and reply with- ]

Good one.

[ Because now he's thought about it calmly, she was clearly making fun of him. ]

[transfusionem]

[Adelaide is blissfully unaware of Rex's crisis, which...is probably for the best. She would be in that uncomfortable area where you feel bad for shattering someone's world, but also would want to laugh because his reaction is completely ridiculous, and that would probably make him feel worse.

The reply takes so long, though, that it takes her a moment to realize what he's talking about.

Man. She feels kind of bad for him.]

It wasn't a joke. I don't make jokes like that! That's just mean.

You're not half-bad, but you'd look better if you looked less like death.

[heromedal]

I keep telling you, this is just what my face looks like and nine is already ridiculously high anyway, isn't it? Anyone would be satisfied with a nine. Nine is a lot higher than I'd ever expected as it is. In fact, I'd say if you were to ask one hundred people a nine would be a statistical outlier by a significant margin.

[ Ah crap he shouldn't have said all that in one text it looks weird. ]

[transfusionem]

[That is...a lot.]

Are you embarrassed that I called you hot?

[heromedal]

[ “I’m as much embarrassed on your behalf for saying it” he almost says. And other things, like about how is that even a question that needs asking.But after about half an hour he settles on-]

Yes.

[transfusionem]

[Listen, Adelaide knows she's generous with her scores. You don't need to judge her.]

Wow. Didn't take you for the type.

[Is she being serious or not? It's hard to say.

(No. She's definitely teasing him.)]

[heromedal]

[ She literally judge him with a numbered score, he can judge her a little. ]

Can we perhaps just put my face on a list of things we're not allowed to discuss?

[transfusionem]

[Okay, fair.]

Sure, sure. Anything else you want to put on there while we're at it?

[She can at least mostly reign it back.]

[heromedal]

A list of one item is still a list, so that will be sufficent for now.

Is there anything off limits for you, while we're on the topic?

[ He doesn't add 'aside from the obvious' because a) it's obvious and b) it would imply to anyone reading this that there is an obvious. ]

[transfusionem]

Uhhh.

No, I think I'm good. Not much gets to me.

[That she knows of, anyways.]
