Video; A brief commercial interlude

[resenting]

[ In front of an unassuming store, Naofumi and Raphtalia stand next to each other awkwardly. They're dressed to the nines in costume formalwear, glitter and sequins blinding in the poor lighting. ]


I'll never make it to the ball if I can't cure my sanguis bloodlust!!"


[ In a flat, almost put upon tone: ]


Here, try this.


[ Raphtalia drinks the potion. One might almost believe her fake smile ]


I feel great! Just like an ordinary Prismal! Thank you, Mas-- Doctor Naofumi!


[ She twirls around, feigning complete recovery. ]


[ In a very bad monotone: ]


Heavenly Fowl Apothecary, for all of your potion needs.


No refunds, though.


[ With that, the video cuts out… but the sound stays on. ]


You could at least try to sound convincing!


Yeah yeah, the important thing is just that they hear the name.


"No refunds"? You don't have to let them know upfront that you're a cheapskate.


That was the most important part. Everything works, so if anyone wants a refund they're just trying to pull something anyway.

Wait- shit! How long as this thing been on!?


[ The feed abruptly cuts out completely ]

I can afford it without selling myself, but thanks. I have two boyfriends and don't really like sharing.. even when the moon isn't out. I start off at a base level of most people's Sanguis worst, so this really needs to work.

[ That's.. a lot of chroma though. She'll figure it out. She just wants to do what she can too not hurt someone. Having a killer inside of her without the increased aggression and possessiveness is a huge risk. ]

Does it affect all parts of the blessings? Or just the superpowered anger?

Don't get the wrong idea- I'm not propositioning you, and I'm not looking to join any reverse harems. What I'm saying is we're flexible in our arrangements.

I can give you sometimes that'll help on a symptom by symptom basis. Don't go expecting me to reverse any transformations, and I'm not selling anything that'll change your personality or anything creepy like that.

That's fine. I just don't want to hurt anyone because I can't control my temper.

[ She's able to handle herself most of the time on her own, except for a couple sore topics and even then, she's only threatened the removal of limbs, not actually done it. But she's scared of something happening during Sanguis because that's her baseline. She's killed people before, sure, but she's not a monster. She doesn't want to be one-- hell, she's trying to be better. ]

I'll order it for the next triple moon to try it. I'm not going out until the 6th this time.
