THE SECOND PROSCRIPTION
(CW: Coffins, claustrophobia in general, skeleton bones)

Most interesting.

[Suddenly, a bright light from above lights up, same as last week, from the bone chandelier. Once more, the light only seems to shine on one individual, as the Elder Steward appears, looking pleased as punch.]


Excellent, excellent. You have condemned The Noodles to die by quite the majority, so certain you were of her guilt!

[There is a long, long pause. Finally, though, the Elder Steward does something unexpected. First, he throws his hood off to reveal--huh. A rather young-looking and handsome figure. Odd.]

But...

[A slow, fanged smile appears on his face, before he turns to Eric, raising a toast with a glass of something that might be red wine-or something else.]

You were wrong. Congratulations, Fast. You have exceeded my and Our Lady's expectations. You have damned an innocent woman to the cruel death you deserve for your crime, and your fellow shall be forced to watch. For this you shall be rewarded protection for that special person, as promised.

Now.

How does it feel to know what you've done, hm?

[Okay, so Thanatos will then go head back to his bedroom to go grab the Dragon Tree Treasure he obtained. He'll then bring it over to the dining room to meet up with Arthur.

Arthur will see that it is quite a large fruit, definitely more around the size of a watermelon. It's mostly blue fading into a peach color at the top. It's skin looks like it is covered in scales. Thanatos will go ahead and start cutting off a part into some bite sized pieces. The fruit itself is a darker reddish pink color, a bit like grapefruit but more red.

Once Arthur arrives and he's got a few bite sized pieces cut and placed onto one of the plates, he'll offer it to the boy.]

That's medicine? [It's not terribly surprising. Plants do all kinds of things. It sure looks like something that could be found in the Labyrinth.

Except in the Labyrinth, it would probably try to eat him, not vice versa.

He eats hungrily. He's not touching the soul eggs, after all, so he has to eat whatever else he can. At least his stomach's settled a bit since the trial's immediate aftermath.]

[notadinosnack]

It is indeed. It's a very effective medicine to heal smaller wounds, and it's quite tasty as well. It's called a Dragon Tree Fruit because of the appearance of the fruit. The trees themselves grow on the northern part of the Isle of Seiren.

[And Thanatos is going to grab a piece as well. He'd been saving this in case someone got hurt and once cut into, the fruit won't last long. This one is actually fully ripened as well, so it should heal pretty fast.]

[incendiarize]

[Arthur digs in, then, and it soothes his tongue. It's a testament to his resilience that he's already this energetic.]

It's soooo good!

[He's no gourmet, but he does like food a lot.]

[notadinosnack]

[Thanatos sure isn't a gourmet either. The best part about a meal isn't always the meal itself, it's sharing it with friends. He'd rather share a simple meal with friends than sit through a seven course meal in a noble household and be expected to behave like a proper gentleman.]

It certainly is. Just like it was plucked right off the branches of one of those trees.
