[ The video opens with Ed sitting on the floor of his room in Waremono, an old, battered suitcase sitting nearby. It's opened with books, a red coat, some quills and ink pens, and a few other odds and ends packed neatly inside. Ed currently has his journal in one hand, a pen in the other which he twirls in his fingers before making notes every

Have you looked into the cactus tea at all yet?

video forever

[transmutates]

Hey, Zero. ...Cactus tea?

[bloodypawn]

[he nods] As far as I'm aware of, it's what's given to minors with the curse. It permits them to not have be sexual with others in order to keep the tattoo under control.

[transmutates]

[ A thoughtful pause. ] Can you get your hands on any of that?

[bloodypawn]

I might be able to, yeah.

[transmutates]

That'd be great. I wanna see if I can get an idea of what's in it.

[bloodypawn]

Not a bad idea. [pauses, actually cutting the feed only to open it again, but in a private transmission.]

It'll be in pill form, by the way. Your other option would be to try Ukiyo's black market. I don't know much about its whereabouts, but one does exist, from what I've heard.

private foreverrrr

[transmutates]

Pill form? That's alright. It can always be crushed if necessary. 'Slong as I can get my hands on it, I can figure out what the composition is. [ Scratches the back of his neck. ] I'm not one for having to rely on breaking laws, but I can take a look.

[bloodypawn]

[Nods in understanding.] I'll get back to you about it, then. It shouldn't be more than a few days.

[transmutates]

Thanks, Zero. Anything I can do in exchange?

[bloodypawn]

Yeah. Find some answers.

[A quirk of his lips to that, almost a grin (can you tell he's more used to giving and doing, and never having anything in return?), before an afterthought. A heads-up of sorts.]

By the way, Sir Miyake can be a pain to work under, but if you do as he says, and prove your worth, he's not really that bad. ...At least not compared to what the other house owners can be like, so I've heard.

[transmutates]

Heh. Will do. [ Gives a grin in return before shrugging. ] You know the guy?

[bloodypawn]

He's my boss. I belong to Shakuraku, but I live independently.

[transmutates]

I think Kiyoha's working on doing that too. Guess I'll be seeing you more around.

[bloodypawn]

Probably. I stop by the house frequently enough.

[transmutates]

That works. So how come you get this tea in a pill form anyway?
