Why don't I come to you? I may be able to help explain what's happening to him.

( one ancient being to another y'know )

I can also talk to you about Solstice.

[menphina]

You could... but I really want to make sure he won't be angry first.
Which I'm sure he will be when he awakens.

He's also not easy to trust others, so... he might not want someone entering his dreams.
But I'll convince him!
And I want to hear all about your solstice.
... I think I can hear him—
Shite. Message you back, Lilith.

[ Give her a bit. It might be an hour or so when she returns. ]

I'm back... I'm sorry.
He's up. He was pretty unsettled...
Before I continue, what was the other method you were offering?

[sathan]

A spell to provide a dreamless sleep, though I have less certainty of its affectiveness.

[menphina]

I'd rather just attempt to end this entirely.
Especially if that entity is feeding off of his statements.
Else I could have given him a dreamless sleep with my potions.

Do you suppose you could come by then? Here...

[ Cue her sending a location- the building she stays in and to the rooftop garden. ]

Say, in half a bell?
If nothing else, he might feel better talking to you.
Like I said, he doesn't trust easily.
He assumed you'd ask for something in repayment.

[sathan]

If I cannot cut off the Entity from within we will turn to a spell, a potion. Something else to remove it.
I'll be there. And I'll explain it to him.

[menphina]

Thank you.
I'll ask him to stay, then.
I just hope you don't have to suffer needlessly too.
I'd an idea as well, but it's risky...
I don't want to try it unless it's a last resort though.

[sathan]

It shouldn't come to that.
There's enough risk already.

[menphina]

Aye...
Though I may as well tell you.
It's a potion that brings the mind and body into a state that seems like death.
It doesn't kill you, but it does shut the body down enough to make it seem so
... the only risk is that the dosage needs to be crafted to the person it's being given to.
So they can wake up from it.
Any more can shut the mind down for an uncertain amount of time.
Any less will make the body immobile, but keep the mind active.
We wouldn't want either of those happening.

[sathan]

( she's very seriously considering that. risky but it could be good )

If mine fails. I know the Entity.( she doesn't and she knows it but she's got a feeling of it ) There are other methods to block it.

( she has resisted giving a statement before.

she's also never before offered killing someone to resurrect them because no one needs that. so this potion is the best of that offer )

[menphina]

[ She has no reason to disbelieve her, but Megumi's a stupid normie where it comes to all this fantastic stuff. ]

I hope you won't fail...
But I have everything I need to make this potion.
I just assume that if the entity thinks Emet-Selch's mind is dead...
It'll unlatch itself.
Maybe you could help make it?
It'd be good to have another set of eyes on it.

[sathan]

Of course. Is there anything else you need?

[menphina]

[ Oh boy. ]


Ah, aye.
Lavender or Nightshade?
Just pick one.


[ SHE HAS A REASON ]

[sathan]

( megumi, you can't ask a witch to just pick )

That depends on its purpose.

[menphina]

[ She usually YOLO's it, but the opinion counts. ]

A spray sedative! I was trying both out and in lower dosage, the deadly nightshade actually worked better, and the lavender needed more sprigs to be effective.

Of course, the former needs a complete amount before it becomes poisonous, but...

[sathan]

The nightshade. It will be more effective.

[menphina]

You really are a goddess after my own heart. ☆
I'll go get what I need ready—
I just hope it works .
I'll see you at the garden, Lilith?

[sathan]

I'll be there.
