T
Denial, Consumption, Poison

❧ Played by AJ

Appearance: T appears as a human woman who would not look out of place at a brothel-slash-sushi shop. She's slender, not very tall, and the opposite of well-endowed but holds herself like a lady who knows what she wants and also what she's willing to give. She has long black hair (often worn up) and always wears red lipstick and eyeshadow. She always keeps her neck covered either by a high collar or a scarf and always wears sleeves -- often her clothing is red. It's pretty rare that she stands straight up, often she will slouch or lean or drape. There is a certain laziness to her gesture, but also a coil of power. Both her wrists and neck are scarred (in the rare event that you might see them) and there is a line of scars shaped like snake scales that goes from behind her right ear down her spine. No matter how much she eats she remains itty bitty in proportion.

She can also unhinge her jaw. It's kind of terrifying.

Characteristics: Obsessive, excitable, childish, greedy, compulsive, a great big fibber, manipulative, annoying, morbid, mercurial, fanciful

Likes: Tragedy, stagnation, obsession, compulsion, extremely bright colors, bitter or sour foods, sestinas, unhealthy relationships, corrupt piousness, polite fiction, Freudian concepts, feasts, conversion

Dislikes: Acceptance, actualization, sweets, limericks, monogamy, families where all the members are living, conditioning, education, altruism, true faith, monochrome, starvation, diets

Shrine: A salt lick with pretty pink salt.

Ritual: LICK THE SALT LICK.

❧ Will Take

❧ Will Give

tears
anger
guilt
poison (not just "don't eat the plants without getting them blessed" but like the poison sacks some animals have)
rotten things (decomposing meat or vegetables)
admissions or confessions of secrets that revolve around false identities
acts of "corrupting another" (bodily or mentally)
lamentations
teeth
tongues
stomachs
intestines
saliva
your sense of taste (for a while)
gastric juices

Forks/Knives/Spoons/Plates/utensils for eating basically
poisons and their antidotes
drinking vinegar
temporary "iron stomach" (comes with side effect of overwhelming hunger)
almonds
mace (the spice)
edible underwear
clothes made of hemp
tables/chairs -- though all of her furniture has either d-rings or restraints or weird grooves perfect for bleeding someone out in, regardless of if you want that or not.

On Memory... T also has the ability to do what she calls "help" with memories. More accurately she can bury a memory, create a false memory or attach a "false feeling" to a memory you have. So, if you want to forget your asshole father? She can do that for you. If you want to bridge the gap between two memories she can fabricate a memory that fills in the gaps, so to speak. Or if you just wanted to have a fun childhood memory even if you didn't have a fun childhood, I guess. And she can make things that you remember as being awful be remembered as AWESOME EXPERIENCES :D :D :D or the other way around. Basically if it's altering or falsifying a remembered person/event/feeling she can help you out there!

Units to Items

4 Units	Antidote or poison

Note: In general for a lot of trades like dishware and forks/knives T will do a strict weight exchange. If your dishes weigh a pound, she wants a pound of intestines. It is almost always an option for items like that. Prices also vary! If you have a good relationship with her it is probably because you inflict or indulge in the emotional side of things (or do more of the 'acts' she accepts) and your general totals may be lower than those good upstanding citizen types.

Of course. I've been so impressed to meet a king, I just want a taste too.

[... ha]

That's only natural.

Fine, then. I'll accept that trade.

[ I hope you were expecting her to grab you by the face and 'kiss' you and by 'kiss' I mean take a long swig of your bloody poison-y saliva.

Sucking face with the King of Heroes 8D ]

[... oh i am not entirely sure how to feel about this. i think mostly disgusted

D. DEFINITELY MAKING A FACE, just passively allowing that. to continue as long as she... feels necessary..]

[ I JUST WANT IT ALL, BABY~

but does pull back after a while. Licks her lips~ ]

Mm, wicked delicious. You're on a time limit, don't forget~ A lot of poison gathers itself in a day, you know? Come back when you've succeeded.

[w. wiping mouth again]

I definitely won't forget something like that.

I'll be back soon.

[HANDWAVE and goinggg. ignoring Rayflo now \:D/]

[ :3c ]

I'll be waiting.

[looool.]

Thanks for a good show.

[turning to leave.]

[ANNND LATER back again, holding a towel with a bit of dried blood and pinching his nose

licking the salt lick :I]

[ DRAPES ON 8D ]

[allowinggg and holding up a corner of the towel.]

There's tears here. You weren't specific about a container, so I hope that will suffice.

[ . . . takes it and chews on it. ]

Hm, wouldn't it be wicked if this wasn't enough.

[.... 8|]

You didn't specify quantity, either.

You didn't ask. I would think someone trying not to die would be more interested in the exactments . . .

[ but she sounds pleased ]

How did your lamentation go?

[:'|]

Not very well. He was ungrateful for such a generous action.

[ pats him on the head, it is a somewhat condescending gesture :'D ]

Surely that couldn't have mattered much to you, hm? Surely your grief and lamentation were separate, that is the way of kings. . . ? How wickedly collected you must be.

It mattered because he dismissed something of such high value.

But I'll pay no more mind to it.

If you want I could help you out with that. . . things being tossed aside that have such high value is so annoying isn't it? Just a little fix . . .

I'd prefer to have that antidote, before we discuss anything else.

Antidote . . .? Oh yes, you're dying.

Yes, it's a bit pressing.

[ dangles a small vial in front of his face ]

You have earned it, your kingship.

Mm, another skill I afford mine has to do with not being so weak to poison. As a note.

[reaching up to try to take it :T]

I won't become one of a god's things for something as slight as that.

[ doesn't quite let go of it yet and her grip is very very strong. ]

I don't ask for things. Mm, it's more like friendly relations, isn't it? I help you and you help me and we see what the future brings us. I just want the wicked good for all.

I'll consider it once you let go.
