[ Dean's got his device set up so that this isn't all Blair Witch Project (thank god) but he's got a jar of his own, which he's... gently shaking around a couple of fireflies in. Not like Sid and his toys or anything here, considering they're still alive, but he's cheerfully giving them a rock and roll. ]

I don't get the bug thing, I really don't--

[ After which he sets the jar down with a slight clatter, where the fireflies can finally carry on flitting about. ]

I mean, this is like crack to kids, right? Catching these things, watching 'em fly around? Never understood the appeal. [ Says the man with fireflies in a jar but he's curious okay, don't judge. ]

And then with the warm and fuzzies... I mean- C'mon. Never known a God to offer that up without some kinda hand being played.

It's a drug, then.

[kickingand]

its a drug yeah

text.

[smited]

Wonderful.

text.

[kickingand]

why, you worried its gonna start making its way around?

text.

[smited]

No, but it means I'm not the only one thinking these fireflies are drug-like. And they are making their way around.

text.

[kickingand]

oh good then were on the same page. but yeah im thinking theyre a little too addictive

text.

[smited]

I don't suppose you know of a way to get rid of them other than simply stabbing them all?

text.

[kickingand]

bug repellent? fly zapper? somehow im thinking catching them on fire wouldnt work too well

text.

[smited]

Fly zapper? [ what is this thing you speak of? ]

Perhaps we can steam them into submission like bees.

text.

[kickingand]

its a uh. thing. that zaps flies. electrocutes the little fuckers.

might be worth a try.

There is no such thing where I come from. The only ones who can harness lightning are mages.

I've a kettle that may work as a make-shift smoker, but nothing to keep the water inside hot.

text.

[kickingand]

mages. okay right so a fly zapperd be a modern marvel to you. got it.

and im thinking using a stove wouldnt keep it hot for long enough to do jack squat

text.

[smited]

I was thinking much the same. If we had some fire runes, perhaps that would work.

text.

[kickingand]

fire runes?

text.

[smited]

Runes that create fire and heat. They're usually made with lyrium and carved into a certain type of stone.

text.

[kickingand]

got it. and im betting that stone aint something were gonna find lying around

text.

[smited]

No. And even if we did, the odds of finding both lyrium and someone who could make a rune are even slimmer.

text.

[kickingand]

aint that just always the way it goes

text.

[smited]

We all come from such different and varied worlds and yet that, of all things, is the universal constant.

Of course.

text.

[kickingand]

that were all shit outta luck.

text.

[smited]

Not how I would have put it but yes. Essentially.

text.

[kickingand]

text.
