Toil and Trouble, Boil and Bubble

Astrid hummed. A bit of this, a pinch of that... Alocasia and larkspur, both a bit past their prime, but the dip in potency was nothing she couldn't work with. Both were known to cause intense burning in the mouth and intestine, vomiting and weakness. An inhibitor of the finest caliber... Or would be. She hadn't tried any sort of combination like this before, and of course she had no test subjects. As fascinating as it was to test out her concoctions, senseless murder still wasn't something that appealed to her. Vigilante justice on the other hand, well that was another story. There were always a plethora of rapists and marauders to be found, that might be an option. She shook the musings from her skull and resumed humming. A different problem for a different time. A dark sky roiled above the young fae as she gingerly picked amongst a pile of plant bits. Her choice roots and stems were placed upon the strip of tree bark she had pried loose from an unlucky trunk. A carefully selected stone, smooth and round, sat beside her and when all was as she needed it to be she placed that atop the pile as well. Paw-to-stone she began pressing and wiggling, grinding the two plants into a pulp. It would not harm her skin (she hoped) and so long as she was very careful to clean the pads before bathing again, all would be well. A gust of wind swept through the small vale and snatched up the leftover leaves. Whirling and cursing Astrid watched them go, grinding forgotten for a short moment... Well damn. |
