[Hey, look! Your resident wicked witch isn't looking like he's out for blood today! Yay! Actually, he's almost…suspiciously pleased, and given the fact that the beanie he's wearing is kind of horrible and dorky, it probably has nothing to do with that… Right?]

Now this is more like it. Random useful items! I'd love to negotiate for some books, if anyone’s come across any real ones. In the meantime...

[He gently rattles the jar of bees, just enough to show it off -- poor things didn't need to be bothered any more than they already were, having been stuffed in their glass prison.]

I'd suggest that anyone hanging around Hope’s temple leaves in the next, oh… Ten minutes? That should be enough. Especially if you're allergic to bees. I'm leaving an offering for our dear, beloved god.

[BEEEEEEEEES!!]

What species of bee is that? As pollinators they could be very useful.

More useful than as a petty weapon, anyway.

So I've been told by a polymorph and a bee fetishist. Is that really who you want on your side?

Beesides, I haven't a clue how to tell that kind of thing.

[hearthebell]

It depends. It can be difficult to judge a person's potential value based on one or two surface traits.

Perhaps the "bee fetishist" knows. Paraphiliacs tend to be very particular and knowledgeable about the objects they find gratifying.

Gross. I don't trust her with my bees.

If you want to put them to their best potential use, your options are limited, aren't they?

[Text]

[purpleknee]

Seeing as she said she wants to hear them humping flowers, I have doubts that her idea of their best potential use is much use at all. Who says that?!

[hearthebell]

What you're describing is in fact a very effective way for them to pick up pollen. That's necessary for the process, even if the imagery is more vivid than is probably necessary.

SHE SAID SHE WANTED TO HEAR IT

The senses are all valuable tools for understanding the world. There's no reason to judge a person's desire to seek out a more complete one through such means.

no

[he...refuses...]

[hearthebell]

No, what? You refuse to entertain the notion, or you agree that no judgment is necessary? Single word denials and affirmations are notoriously ambiguous, especially through text.

just

no

to all of it

n o

no one needs the sound of that or someone who explicitly says that's what they want to hear or someone trying to justify a weird fetish by using the pursuit of knowledge

[hearthebell]

It's kind of dangerous to insinuate that the only things worth pursuing are the things you need.

[purpleknee]

Never said those were the only things I just said these specific things should not be pursued. Mostly because it's really disgusting.

[hearthebell]

"Disgusting" is subjective. You might just be squeamish.

[purpleknee]

And you might just be an argumentative ass.

[hearthebell]

I'd say that's a certainty, actually.
