Video/Text; UN: cattletamer96

[ The video starts with a view of a large crow zooming in and out of the frame in a panic. Then BANG! There's a loud sound from off-screen that the camera spins over to the three-legged crow flat against the wall, before comically sliding down.]

Onyx, what are you doing?!

[ There's a hoarse rasp that comes from the person holding the camera. Reluctantly, he turns the camera view towards a bunch of blankets, and Crow's head pops out of the bundle. The spunky redhead isn't quite as energetic at the moment, instead, he looks a bit stressed out.]

It's an apocalyptic catastrophe!

[ Crow's words come out as a scratchy croak. His poor angelic voice! He sounds horrible! ]

I think I lost my voice! And I need to fix it before the concert! Help! It's a crimson emergency! And I think drinking milk makes it worse!

[ He can't stand to hear his voice like this, so he's going to dive back into his cocoon of blankets. He's not going to subject anyone else's ears to this dissonance either. Crow's familiar tries to comfort him by perching on top of the pile of blankets and gently tapping his beak against it. There, there. Crow stops the video but follows up with a text after:]

DOES ANYONE KNOW ANY HOME REMEDIES TO CURE THIS?!!!! I'LL DRINK EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN!!! I'LL DO ANYTHING EXCEPT SELL MY SOUL TO LUCIFER!! I JUST WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CONCERT, DAMN IT!!!

[ Both of those are very good questions, neither of which Karma reveals easily. ]

Oh, that's not how you always sound like?

[ He has no reference, don't blame him. ]

I'd suggest milk to help with the heat, but isn't your drinking so much milk to begin with that's causing more mucous and making your sore throat worse?

[ Too bad... Karma is 5'9", aka stupid tall for a 14-year-old, but he probably has milk to thank for that... It doesn't help his voice, though, when what comes out of it is usually more antagonistic than not. ]

You could barely handle wasabi! I thought you wouldn't have the mettle to try anything else. What was it that you said... that you'd drink everything under the sun to cure this? How serious are you?

You did! Congratulations on surviving~

[ It's not like wasabi will kill a person, with its "cold" heat that dissipates almost instantly, so Karma has very little remorse for this action. ]

Anyways, if you want me to leave, just say so. I came here to help you out of the goodness of my heart, y'know? No need to be ungrateful.

[ It's not as fun an idea as wasabi and peppers, but Karma takes another little bottle out of his pocket, similar enough to the first, but maybe Crow would recognize it: it's a Fairy-blessed Tincture of Wellbeing, given to those who helped gather supplies for the healers earlier in the month. ]

It's supposed to heal anything that ails you. I'll only ask for a little bit of gold in exchange for it. Fair enough?

Earned it!

[ Whether or not Crow believes that doesn't matter and Karma doesn't care to prove himself either way. All that matters is that Karma has a bottle and he's willing to make a trade. ]

And it can be yours for the generous price of 2640 gold~

[ aka a little over 26 USD worth of gold, and very specifically the cost of something Karma needs to buy but can't afford yet. ]

[ What an honest guy. Karma does count the counts before slipping them into his pocket, tossing the bottle to Crow before turning to leave. ]

Thanks a bunch! Hope your voice heals up soon- I'd like to hear how you're supposed to sound like!

[ Byeeeeee



The bottle won't do anything, I'm very very sorry. It's been poured out already and used, and the liquid inside replaced with juice. ]

[ It's cranberry and pineapple, more tart than sweet, with the astringency to top it all off. It's good juice!!!! At least it isn't more chili sauce. ]
