#they're chilln!

“So how did this even happen?” the stranger asked as they pulled some sort of odd device from seemingly nowhere. They held it up, and Pix blinked as a weird beam scanned him up and down.

“I… sort of drank a magic potion? By accident?”

“What kind?”

“Awkward, I think he said it was?”

“Okay, that’s weird. Awkward potions aren’t supposed to do anything.”

“So I’ve been told,” Pix said dryly, “Zloy said they were a base for other potions or something.”

“Yeah. They don’t do jack on their own, they’re just a base for other potions to come from. I guess it’d make sense that a Human couldn’t handle much magic in general, let alone undirected magic…”

“That’s what Zloy said, too,” he squinted slightly at his captor, “almost word-for-word.”

“Ha! That’s new. I learned a lot from him, though, so I guess I might use some of the same language. Didn’t imagine that’d translate to English, though.”

“He taught you potion brewing?”

“He taught me a lot of things. Potion-brewing was one of them. He wanted me to be able to manage ʖᔑ∷ʖ∷ᒷ∴ᔑ if she needed maintenance,” their head angled. “At least, that’s what he said. It was probably because he wanted to make sure I could make a Weakness potion if necessary.”

“Weakness?” Pix echoed curiously.

“Does pretty much what you’d expect it to. It’s part of managing Zloy’s… the closest word would be zombification. Managing that if it gets too far out of hand.”

“It can get out of hand?!”

“His control’s pretty good. Can I take a sample of your breath?”

“Uh, sure?”

“Don’t stick anything in his mouth and you’ll be fine, I imagine,” the stranger continued. “Like I said, his control's pretty good, and if he hasn’t eaten anyone yet he’s probably not going to. Unless the body gets stripped of safeguards and fried again, but if that happens we’ll probably have bigger problems. Don’t stick anything in his mouth and we’ll be golden.”

“What happens if I stick something in his mouth?”

“He’ll probably bite it automatically. Blood sample?”

“Why do you need a blood sample?”

“I want to see how deeply embedded the magic is in your body.”

“Oh, okay. That’s fine.”

Ren hefted his sword, not liking how out-of-practice he felt. Training opportunities had unfortunately been few and far between since he’d Respawned, since Zloy didn’t really have easy access to a place large, private and soundproof enough to really go at it. 

The hole- which had water at the bottom- led to a hall. It was fairly simplistic, just carved out of the stone in a two-by-three, but it confirmed what Ren had feared- this was Player-made, and pretty recently, too.

What would a Player want with Pix? He was just… Human. He was perfectly lovely, of course, but to an outsider…

Zloy splashed down behind him, the flimsy illusion completely gone. They were doing this as themselves, Players to Player, and may the gods be kind to whoever had taken their friend from his home, because Ren sure wouldn’t.

“Which way?” the zombie asked, his tone terse. Zloy had his own sword and shield equipped.

“I’m not sure, dude,” Ren admitted. 

“We’ll split up then. Yell if you find him,” Zloy’s eyes were starting to develop the film that indicated a zombie on the hunt. He’d stop at nothing to find his perceived prey; Ren had seen Cleo do exactly the same thing, and it was always terrifying to be on the receiving end.

Ren nodded, and started down one direction. He heard Zloy’s light footsteps as he went down the other.

TWO BROS, CHILLN, IN A HOT TUB

FIVE FEET APART CAUSE THEY'RE NOT GAY

Two fair men lie in water warm and slow,

As brothers are they joinēd heart to heart;

But Cupid hath not struck them with his bow;

Lest that be thought, they sit five feet apart.

It seems like troll hair is just like normal hair until they're actively using it for something, when it's in use it's hella strong but if they're just chilln it's just. Regular hair.
