That's not really a thing that happens, is it?

[choshinsei]

are you telling me this because you think i gave it to you?

[gurge]

You seem the most obvious choice, considering your technique.
Or is there something else you need to confess?

[choshinsei]

my blood doesn't work that way.

[ actually, that's not entirely true. poison could, in theory, affect people differently, even if the result is ultimately the same, but also like— ] i've never given anyone a rash before. it wasn't me.

[gurge]

[ jiiii... ]

Fine.
Please keep this to yourself until I've identified the cause.

[choshinsei]

put cream on it.

[gurge]

Yeah thanks, nurse. Any other health advice you'd like to dish out?

[ okay so maybe he's a little embarrassed. a little. ]

[choshinsei]

[ ......well, okay. ]

don't scratch it.
go get it checked out by a physician.
stop being so fragile for a jutjusu sorcerer.

[gurge]

Shut up.
That's my advice for living a long and happy life.

[choshinsei]

you asked.

where is it located?

[gurge]

[ rather than text: a photo. 'rash' is one way to describe it, the reddish-purple striations on the sweep of shoulder and collarbone looking hot and abraided. it does look jujutsu in nature, but he doesn't sense curse energy or recall a source. ]

[choshinsei]

you thought i did that? [ should he feel offended? ]

does it itch?

[gurge]

No. Smarts a little.

[ it was a compliment. probably. ]

[choshinsei]

[ he needs work on his compliments. ]

are you sure it isn't just a rug burn?

[gurge]

[ a universal truth ]

Do you really think it looks like rug burn.

[choshinsei]

you tell me.

[...]

were you attacked?
[ and since he feels like it needs to be added: ] by something that isn't me.

[gurge]

Not since my last mission 2 days ago.
I'll visit Shouko tomorrow morning.

[choshinsei]

why can't you see her now?

[gurge]

She's out with Utahime-senpai.

[ she'd kill him if he cut them short for a... rash... ]

[choshinsei]

what if you don't make it through the night?

[gurge]

Isn't that a little alarmist?

[choshinsei]

you're the one freaking out over it, so it must be serious.

[gurge]

I am not 'freaking out over it', I just thought you might have some insight.

[ at least he wasn't until a few minutes ago THANKS CHOSO ]

[choshinsei]

[ he prides himself on being helpful. 👍 no, he actually doesn't ]

if you wanted my insight, then you should have come to see me, instead of sending me a shoddy photo. [ he can't sense or test anything on a pic, getou. does he look like webmd for deadly rashes to you? ]

[gurge]

[ i mean, if you had to make a gijinka of that specifically...... ]

I didn't exactly think this is how this conversation would go.

[choshinsei]

[ .........rude. ]

how did you think this conversation was going to go?
