[A pale man with dark lips and colored hair appears on the screen, humming. He smiles wide and looks relaxed.]

No questions. I like what I see. I like where this is going~ A turn of events no one could have seen.

[it's a sing song voice, cheerful but dark.]

I'm not here to bother you with the details. I can read about those. I'm here to offer you something more. Something pure. Something that will ease your troubles for little to no cost to you.

[He waves a dark metal and leather gloved hand in the air and with slight of hand makes three vials appear, pink, yellow and a soft blue.] For a tiny cost, or just different place to stay, I could offer you something more.

[He's been busy.]

Go ahead and ask. I'm sure someone is curious.

What kind of drugs are those?

[robberofgraves]

The emotional kind. Naw, I jest, but only in part. This isn't drugs. This is far better. Emotions~

[am_i_a_monster]

Emotions can be like drugs. Overwhelming, addictive, dangerous. I didn't know they came in vials too.

[robberofgraves]

They come in vials because I put them there. [He said, rolling two between his fingers and switching them back and forth.] But you're right, in the wrong hands they could very well be drugs. A poison, as someone else mentioned.

[am_i_a_monster]

So you're offering a possible poison to anyone who asks you about it?

[robberofgraves]

It depends on how you view emotions. I'm offering to take away poison if that's how you feel about your emotions. Or, offering a cure, for the blues, or a bad day. A sip of joy, or an injection of calm.

[am_i_a_monster]

Could the calming one work on a person after they've had nightmares? Can it last long enough for the person to fall asleep again?

[robberofgraves]

Now that's an interesting question. Times differ for people and potency, but given a bit of time I can test that. From current experience, it should last long enough though. Having trouble sleeping, kid?

[am_i_a_monster]

On some nights, yeah.   

[Most nights.]

What about with things like flashbacks or bad memories or fears?   Would it calm them too?

[robberofgraves]

I haven't had these powers long enough to know if they will calm memories, but so far there are good results.

[he's more serious now and less showy. Taking this seriously.]

Best I can say is give it a try and see. And if you promise to tell me if it helps or not, I'll give it to you free to try.

[am_i_a_monster]

Have there been any side effects? 

  [She gives a nod.]  

I can do that.  I'll even make notes.  How does the stuff in the vials work - could I mix them with tea and drink them?
