That's your own fault for committing to the joke so hard.

@Server

Joke?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

*Stares with a twinge of both confusion and discomfort*
I, er, sure.

@Server

It's just a weird sensation is all. Drinking it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

I guess... your expression? Mostly?

@Server

Rocky water.
*Swirls the glass around in front of you*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

You look like you're having some kind of identity crisis.

@Server

What makes you think that?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

*It tastes like gritty water*
It’s not... you know, it’s not perfect. Don’t drink sarin or something, but it’s a quick way to give someone more time.

@Fractured

Hmm.
*Has an expression of intently contemplating the drink as I swallow it.

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

What’s got you up in arms, exactly?

@Server

Nuthin'. Why?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

Um... it’s real. You can save someone’s life if they eat something poisonous.

@Fractured

A universal antitoxin? Right under all of our noses? Say less.

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

*Snickers and keeps my mouth shut*

@Server

I need some after the stunt you pulled.
*Confidently scoops the glass up and takes a swig, with no immediate reaction*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

*Jerks my hands back and taps my fingers together behind the bar*
You, um... you can get it by burning wood.

@Fractured

I mean the toxin filtering. That’s not real.
*Glances quickly to Rhythm and back to you*
Is it real? I’ve never heard it before.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

*Fills up a glass of water, drops in a small tablet that turns it black, and slides it to you*
Charcoal, to filter out toxins.

@Fractured

*Stares at it*
… That’s not real.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

Oh uh, sure. Regular or sparkling?

@Fractured

Just regular. I gotta wash away the toxicity I've been exposed to.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

It’d be the first time.

@Server

So toxic.
*Turns to Jade at the bar?
You mind if I get a water?
