So what the hell is up with these crab bites, anyway?

I tell you, I'd hate to be the poor bastard with one of those nasty things on me.

Just out of curiosity, anybody have one?

Not personally, no. Before I came here, though, I've... heard of what happened to the bites that go untreated. It's not pretty, we'll leave it at that.

[notlewis]

So it's not just a nasty rumor, then.

Disgusting.

[acrossthememory]

I can assure you that it's no rumor, and you better hope like hell that it never happens to you.

[notlewis]

Don't worry, baby, I'm hoping all right.

Speaking of hoping. You free any evening this week?

Let me share with you my findings!

[is what she thinks she says. what really comes out is closer to some garbled mess that would be both hilarious and very difficult to try to transcribe.]

[because she was bitten, you see.]

Come again, señorita?

[patchwork_phd]

I said I have findings! I have research!

Re: [Voice]

[notlewis]

And are your findings and research in a language that anybody on earth speaks, mi amiga?

[porcelaindahlia]

I had a bite a little while ago... It went untreated for a month before someone finally answered my plea's and healed me.

It's a horrid situation to find yourself in.

[notlewis]

"Healed" you. What do you mean by that, little lady?

[porcelaindahlia]

There are a few people around that can... cure the bites... With magic. It's the only way to heal them.

[notlewis]

............... magic.

O-kay. So would there be a non-Disney explanation for this, or shall I try to get in touch with my local fairy godmother to learn more?
