Ebantu the Kararehe

Quote from: The Skarzs on January 12, 2020, 02:50:01 AM
"Atropa Belladonna" is the scientific name. I know it's been a staple for "witches" because it can be used as a narcotic when applied to the skin, and was something they would apparently do.
The berries can be made into jam which is not poisonous, despite the plant being poisonous itself.
I think it takes quite a bit of consumption to kill a person, but don't quote me on that.
It may have also been made into a cream to make the skin pale, since the chemicals blanched the skin, (this the "bella" part of the name, meaning "beautiful), but I believe that was dangerous.
Yes, and the 'donna' part means 'woman'. So Belladonna means 'beautiful woman'. They also used it to dilate their pupils, which also made them 'beautiful'. (although it was probably really bad for them)
Infant Ebby is a smol, out-of-control firebending terror. It's a good thing she's also quite cute.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

THAT'S what it was. I had forgotten.

New World.
I like New World. It has more variety than Countdown, and it's New Zealand owned. It's not as cheap as Pak'n'save though.
    I have a shiny thing! See?

Thanks for the artwork Lass, Scott, and Wortshire! (And Dannflower as well for the Worldstate badge.)

If you want to get her back for that just start talking about American grocery shop names.

I've learned not to argue with fact. Let's change the subject.

He's back on his feet already.  It's been a few years since he went through the surgery and chemo, but the recovery process is loooooong.  His head is likely going to be somewhat messed up for the rest of his life, but he's pretty good spirited about it.  He's hoping to be able to get back into blacksmithing soon, and he's actually going to be getting married at the end of the month, so things are looking up.

That's good that things are looking better for him.  :) I wish him luck.

Thanks.

Back on track, yeah, meeting Skarzs would be cool.  As for the rest of you... mmm, that depends.
