Do not partake of the bathtub moonshine.

[fatedfinality]

I did clean everything before using it in the mash
but we really should have filtered it before trying, I realize
oh well
live and learn

[zodiheart]

I believe I will enjoy moonshine far better when the pulp is removed.

I continue to name it as pulp as it remains in the drink.

[fatedfinality]

yes, the mash SHOULD be removed
I'll have to figure out something to filter that better next time
then it'll still burn like no one's business and have a decent kick, but not cause

all this

[zodiheart]

I should be able to fashion a strainer that will suit your needs.

After I am well once more.

It is well within my skill set.

[fatedfinality]

is there anything you can't do?

besides hold your liquor, it seems

[zodiheart]

I cannot write using my feet or toes.

Usually, were I to ingest alcohol, it requires far more than this to bring me to the point of what would be considered tipsy. Let alone enter a drunken state.

More than enough to render several robust mortals either comatose or dead.

[fatedfinality]

Is that so?
Huh
I must have made an impressive concoction then

I'm already sobering up myself, but that's no surprise to me

[zodiheart]

It is.

You also have not gone back for mere nearly as much as I have. I wish to document the effects later, and am attempting to replicate them with what limited amount of time we have.

[fatedfinality]

Well, not yet
Don't count me out though since I plan to drink my share in solidarity

There'll also be future batches, I'm sure
Not quite as potent or offensive, hopefully, since I doubt that'll be very lucrative but
Who knows!

[zodiheart]

No doubt we must needs source our own stock of whatever is not either simple or readily available.

Alcohol included.

Your wares may be in demand indeed, provided the bathroom is not the stage for their creation. It appears that people find that offensive.

Strange.

[fatedfinality]

there does tend to be something for everyone, doesn't there?
I suppose we'll see
I may make things this potent though reserved for those we know can handle it like ourselves

[zodiheart]

True enough.

A sort of 'special reserve' to not cause outright poisoning for the average clientele?

Though who knows what may be in store for us with the upcoming changes.

[fatedfinality]

That is a fair point
Obviously, I can already hold my liquor well enough as it is
But I do imagine dragons in general might be a bit sturdier too

[zodiheart]

Depending on which kind of dragon we have been graced by, it appears that we will have differing strengths.

Or weaknesses. The scales will be useful, at least.

[fatedfinality]

That's true
I guess we'll see how silver holds up

Scales, is that
Huh
I think I might realize why I've been so itchy lately

[zodiheart]

Yes, the process has only just begun and already it is.

Taxing.

[fatedfinality]

As expected, honestly
I never thought becoming a dragon was going to be an easy affair but...
My pain tolerance is a bit higher than most

[ In that he's used to hurting all the time and almost nothing means anything anymore in regards to harm inflicted on him, so- You know. ]

[zodiheart]

The aches and soreness are one thing.

Unfortunately, a pain tolerance has done nothing thus far for the itching sensation. I do not know if we may grow used to that sensation.

Particularly where I am growing feathers.

[fatedfinality]

Likely not
I don't have feathers though so I can't speak to that
So far, the only changes seem to be more hair
Or fur, rather

[zodiheart]

I would not wish the sensation of pinfeathers upon any individual.

Fur is tolerable enough, at the very least.

[fatedfinality]

It is thus far
Though my tolerance for what is and isn't annoying is probably higher than most
Old age, you know
All your joints start to ache and you hardly notice after a while

[zodiheart]

In my present form I cannot claim to feel the same.

However, from my other lives I have lived I have gone through the experience, and empathize.

Imagine the most uncomfortable, infuriating sensation you can. Combine that with a maddening itching. That is what a pinfeather in an area one cannot reach feels like as it grows in. Even in areas one may reach, until they are ready to assist in opening.

[fatedfinality]

[ Well, if he didn't already wish for death on a nearly daily basis already- That would certainly do it. ]

So is this body forever youthful? [ Funny, he thinks, that while essentially immortal his body still wore down in certain ways. But people weren't supposed to live as long as he has, so even his healing factor probably diverts attention to what it can handle and starts to not worry about the rest. ]

I suppose we'll just have to see if I go even more mad than I already am once the changes start to really set in.

[zodiheart]

My people are effectively immortal as far as age is concerned. We appear the age we largely feel, there are individuals far older than myself who appear just as youthful, and others who show their years more readily.

It is not an exact thing.

I recommend gloves to prevent clawing at any itching, should it occur.

[fatedfinality]

Well, isn't that convenient.

A little pain won't worry me. I don't scar easily either so that's not a concern either.
[ He actually wants the hurt, honestly, but isn't about to tell Elidibus - or anyone - that. ]
