Junpei told me he got bit at the Duchess' party. Ianthe healed it up. He said it really, really itches there.
So. I dunno. Maybe see if anybody else got healed by Ianthe.

[ Her tongue is a twisting agony of pain, that is not hers, but how is her heart to know the difference when it was cut open just as freshly? A solid awful beat that was Murphy's loss, seeping through everything as she wept and wept and could not stop and if there is a fitting punishment, perhaps it is this. ]
Murphy... is Murphy being taken care of?

Good... good. I -
[ She rubs her fingers at the back of the other hand, dragging over her knuckles to even herself out. ]
Is he .... does he need anything? Something special, a meal? Uhm. I could...
[ She's not welcome, she knows she's not, much as it beats at her senses to want to be near to him. ]

Mavis is saying she's not Kuruko any more, right? But she still only really knows a lot of things their way. Their traditions. I don't think she's really going to want to drop all of it, but, I don't know, I'm trying to think of ways to make it easier for her. Translate stuff.
( well, this is unexpected. quentin must be desperate if he's reaching out to him of all people. desperate and maybe a little delirious?
he rubs at the place between his eyebrows. glances over at mavis, at murphy: ) Where are you right now?

[ Not Master Aristaeus, not Aristaeus, just - Ari, and just her, quiet, and scared and doing her best to face what happens with whatever is left of her pride. ]
... I need you to make sure that Murphy, Ianthe and Sweeney are looked after. They will not be well. Can you do this for... for me?

Absolutely.
( he's not in the habit of denying gilia, of course, even when it runs against his better judgment. now won't be any different, but — there's something in the way she asks, slipping right past his usual defenses and into that warm, familiar tone that gives him pause.
it feels heavy, like her words carry more than just a request; there’s an urgency underneath that he can’t ignore. )
What's happening, Gilia?

( in the aftermath of jim's maze: unusual quiet and danny scratching at the barrier of aristaeus' mind, politely knocking to be let in. )

( jumbled, like there's interference. it comes through clearly a second or two later: )
aristaeus, i need a favor.

( it's the tentativeness that surprises him. people usually aren’t that considerate, and danny johnson? it’s odd to feel him so careful — enough to spark some curiosity. )
What can I do for you, Daniel?

( oh fuck. )
She's missing. ( and if there's a thickness to the words, as if they were difficult to speak, you're imagining it gilia. ) It happened right around the time the bugs hit.

...Aristaeus?
[ a low growl from a stranger, tinged with reluctance. khoriya had almost disregarded the name written on the label of the package in favor of wolfing (ha) the contents down without a second thought, hungry as he is.
but something about the name pings a distant thread of memory. mavis had spoken to him of her consort before, when she had offered him her aid. back during the dregs of summer, after khoriya had made himself into an abomination.
...
so he'll do this 'aristaeus' the bare courtesy of inquiring. for her sake. ]

Never tried, but give me a few hands, and I'll figure it out.

I don't follow.
