Gaheris Rhade

Our people were meant to be living gods, warrior-poets who roamed the stars bringing civilization, not cowards and bullies who prey on the weak and kill each other for sport. I never imagined they'd prove themselves so inferior. I didn't betray our people – they betrayed themselves.

[Today is a very special sort of day. Because Rhade also had a cursed object, only he didn't realize that it was one of his leather jackets. His plan to go to the CES is somewhat hindered by a sudden inability to think up a lie.

He's on his way there, anyway, not realizing yet that how exactly the flood has caused this. He knows that he needs to check up on Ben, because whatever was happening there was really.... strange. Just strange. Basically somehow candy has made Ben act slightly creepier than usual.]

OOC: So, for the first time ever on spontaneous whim I'm doing a truth thing with Rhade. He won't ramble on the network but if he runs into someone he will.

[It's easier to actually make progress when no one is talking to him. Ben is still sucking on the lollipop, his mouth gone cornflower blue, and snickering from time to time but there's no one to trigger a full blown laughing fit. It feels... good, even if he doesn't really understand it.

He's en route from the inmate showers to the deck when he spots Rhade ahead of him, and jogs to catch up. Why not? He was about to go running anyway when his initial attempt at it hadn't done much to curb his returning energy. May as well start now.]

Gaheris! [Better, also, not to run with the lollipop stuck in his mouth.]

[And here comes his oddly giggling inmate. He slows down to look at him.] I'm glad to see that you're fully recovered, but I'm perplexed that your mouth is changing colors.

[That last bit felt unnecessary somehow. He glances around warily, as if those words were pulled out of him and he needs to find them again.]

I told you - and a number of other people - that I would be fine.

[This cheerful, and then his eyes are rolling down until he's nearly cross-eyed as though he can see his mouth. He twirls the candy thoughtfully.]

I've decided it's obviously the candy. I don't think it's natural, though.

Gaheris Rhade: rhade - do you have a problem?

The flood probably created it, but I don't know what my problem could be because I didn't eat any candy today and I only started acting unusually recently.

You're almost cross-eyed. Which isn't really relevant but for some reason I took note of it. Okay, now you're not.

[Ben's gaze straightens out and he considers his warden, still almost-smiling although not actively laughing.]

Do you feel well otherwise?

[Dylan's running laps around the deck when he sees Rhade. He changes direction and runs up to him, jogging in place to keep his blood pumping and muscles warm.]

Gaheris, hey. How're you doing?

[Rhade is walking briskly at this point, knowing something is wrong with him but not why it only started now when the flood has been going on for at least a day.

But when Dylan stops to ask him how he's doing, he answers quickly without thinking about it.]

I'm physically fine, but I'm slightly confused as to what's going on and still a little depressed. [He rubs his hands together, turning in place again to stare around him accusingly. You did this, ship, is what this look says.]

[That is not how Rhade usually answers questions. He stops jogging in place. Exercise can wait.]

Uh...

I'm guessing you've been affected by the flood.

I wasn't until an hour ago. [Irritated, but not at Dylan. He puts his hands on his hips and huffs.] Which makes no sense.

That is strange. Maybe something about this flood is contagious somehow?

What are the effects you're feeling?
