I was visited by a rather sly Pthumerian who offered me chocolates for a few drops of my blood. Naturally, I said yes.

[ it's not her fault, he was irresistible! alisaie can hardly deny herself sweets even on normal occasions, let alone when she's being half mind-controlled by some eldritch creature. a few drops of her blood had hardly seemed a steep price, at the time. ]

Played me for a fool, he did. Those chocolates had.. unfortunate side-effects.
