Hm.

[This voice is familiar to a few people, but not a familiar one on the 'network', as this is the first time he's ever actually used it on a large scale. Also for those familiar, it might sound a little...lighter...than usual.]

So uh. To get to the point, how does someone detox from non-human drugs? Or counteract their effects?

[Despite the concern, he apparently finds it amusing, because he's giggling a little bit.]

Or I dunno, whaddoyoudo when you feel like you drank too much coffee?

[For anyone off-network, Noctis can be found with a plant and looking generally more happy than usual.]

Comments

[overworker]

Weeell... it usually depends on what the substance is.

[Oh no what did this boy do.]

There should be a way to counteract it. What... symptoms... are you having?

[She doesn't know him but... she has a few guesses.]

voice;

[showsnopiety]

It depends on drug to drug, and how it's taken. And how much it was.

Usually with the rapid heart rate of coffee consumption, you want to drink as much water as possible, maybe eat something.

...what did you take?

voice;

[clickclickbang]

...dude.

That plant outside.

Is that catnip?

[eluci]

[He's done nothing illegal in any sense, if it makes her feel better.]

A plant.

Just that, a plant.

It smells really good, though.

[Hence, drug. There's a bit of logic missing there, though.]

Nervous? I feel like I need to do something, anything.

[eluci]

It's not coffee, I can't stand the stuff. Too bitter.

...Thing is, I didn't really take anything, I just--it smelled good, and...yeah.

[Another laugh.]

[showsnopiety]

Even with sugar and cream?

[More for her then. And...oh dear.]

You inhaled it. That...maybe...

Do you still have it?

[eluci]

[Several seconds of silence.

Then:]

It could be.

Don't worry about it.

[clickclickbang]

Dude. Are you high?

[eluci]

Are you?

[That's not an answer, but either way it's amusing and he's laughing at it.]

[clickclickbang]

Obviously not, Princ Nip-tis.

[eluci]

Out of line, but still funny.

...Okay, so it's catnip but I'm not that out of it.

[eluci]

Ahuh, it's potted. Bought it at work.

Cream and sugar makes it taste better, yeah.

[clickclickbang]

You're giggling.

[showsnopiety]

There's a few ways to make it sweeter. Maybe we can try a cup together sometime, if you're willing.

[Coffee hangouts.]

You might want to put the plant away then. Maybe go outside, clear your nose a bit.

[eluci]

Yeah, but not at everything.

[Yet.]

[clickclickbang]

[Okay, you know what?

Prompto's gonna start humming the chocobo theme.]

[eluci]

[He's going to hum along for a few bars. They can have a duet!]

Doofus.

[clickclickbang]

Aw, you were supposed to break down in helpless giggles.

[Says the one laughing.]

[overworker]

Well... lavender and chamomile are a good place to start as far as relaxing natural herbs go, but--

You didn't eat the plant, did you?

[It's. It's a fair question.]

[eluci]

Toldya I wasn't out of it.

[But he's going to continue humming the theme even if Prompto's stopped.]

[eluci]

No, I don't want to destroy it.

[Many edible plants are veggies and he is Not About Veggies.]

It's catnip, I'm not gonna go that far.

[He's only a little bit cat, not enough to go all out and consume the plant.]

Pretty sure I could make tea out of it if I wanted to.

[clickclickbang]

You're still humming~

[overworker]

Oh! So that's what it is.

[Ah, suddenly this is real cute.]

You certainly could-- but I'd probably recommend adding some honey to balance out the taste. If the smell is that strong on it's own, it prooobably has quite a taste to it.

[eluci]

It's...a nice tune?

[Let him live his high life.]

[clickclickbang]

You didn't think so before~

[eluci]

Changed my mind~

[clickclickbang]

Nerd.

[eluci]

Can't be much stronger than mint.

[He may have eaten a single leaf, just to test. It tasted like plant, one of the worst betrayals since vanilla extract.]

[eluci]

You're one to talk.

You should come hang out with me.

[clickclickbang]

And watch you get high?

[eluci]

Yes.

[Wait.]

No. Come get the plant then?

[overworker]

I suppose you have a point. But I have a feeling that catnip is a little more plant-like in taste than mint.

...not that I've ever tried it, though actually so-- I'm not sure.

[clickclickbang]

Want me to kill it or like. Just move it?

[eluci]

Nooo, don't kill it.

[He sounds sad! Apparently catnip gives him emotions.]

Take it and put it somewhere so I don't have the urge to stick my face in it.

[clickclickbang]

[Holy shit this is adorable.]

Like where? If I put it in Prim's stable she'll eat it and you treat my room like your room but cleaner.

[eluci]

[No it isn't; he'll be embarrassed later.]

Uh.

Iggy's room?

[clickclickbang]

Which you also treat like an extension of your room. Oh, wait, I know. I'll put it with the rest of the vegetables in the cellar. Get Iggy to charge up something to work like a sun lamp and bam.

[eluci]

I don't think I've ever had mint that wasn't tea. Or a dessert garnish. You don't normally eat those.

[He doesn't, anyway.]

[overworker]

Me neither.

[Don't put whole leaves in your mouth kids, even if it's an herb.]

Oh. Actually, that reminds me. If you want to make tea with it, I have some material that would make some nice tea bags if you'd like some.

[eluci]

Yeah sure, why not?

[Coffee hangouts!]

I've gotta friend who'll hide it for me. ['Hide' being a loose term; he's sure he can smell the plant almost anywhere.] Good idea, 'preciate it.

[showsnopiety]

Let's go to a cafe sometime then? It might be nice if we had coffee with some pastries or a sandwich.

[It's a date! Only not really.]

No problem. Is that friend's name Prompto? Because it may not be Ignis. Just curious.

[eluci]

It's Prompto.

[He doesn't want a lecture; honestly, he's surprised Ignis hasn't found him yet to lecture him on bad decisions or something similar.]

What's Ignis got to do with anything?

[eluci]

[He makes it sound like Noct is some sort of goblin repelled by the mere presence of vegetables.

...But it's not entirely inaccurate.

And of all the things to find funny, that plan is one of them.]

Good plan. Surround it with carrots. And y'know I'll stay out of your room if you just tell me not to go in there.

[clickclickbang]

Yeah, but why would I?

[showsnopiety]

Nothing. I was guessing as to which friend would help you.

[Because the name Noctis? Is kind of unique.]

[eluci]

[They smelled good, so obviously they had to taste good! Don't eat weird things when you're high off the weird things.]

Not used to making my own tea bags, but it can't be that hard, so sure.

[overworker]

Don't worry, it's really easy. I can show you! No experience required.

[And then you can brew it for all your friends!]
