[Normally, Brook would be perfectly happy to make a video post. It'd just be like his weekly recorded updates for his blog back home. Given the state he's in, though, he doesn't want to risk putting his face on camera. What if he looks as bad as he feels?

Why does he feel bad in the first place? Nothing makes any sense.]

ok, i know that for whatever reason, everyone's powers and shit have been weakened since they got here.
but has anybody else been feeling... weird?
like wobbly or your head hurting. or your legs not working right.
or like you have to lie down for a while until your eyes go back to normal.
idk, is this smth else that just happens here like weeds trying to eat you?

((OOC: Brook just hasn't realized that nerfing means he has to eat and sleep now, so he's been wandering around on little more than a Starbucks cake pop and no rest for days. That said, once people help him figure that out, he'll likely react to the thought of eating with disgust. This might hit a little close to disordered eating patterns, so please keep yourself safe if that's a trigger! Brook also has a permissions page with a long list of content warnings and an opt-out form, because I'm the Grim Reaper is a minefield of common triggers, and I don't want to suddenly spring anything unwanted on anyone.))

I've just been walking around trying to find the way out. I haven't had to eat or sleep since I died, and I heard stuff's poisoned, so I've been avoiding places with food as much as I can. It's not like I've been here long enough to form a routine.

[limbical]

Not all of the food is poisoned. To my experience, only meals or drinks generated by the city's... I don't know, owners, whatever you want to call them? Only those seem to have caused any issues. So, food in the markets so far have been safe. Base ingredients, or things you have to make yourself. That sort of thing.

That being said, your body might have had to adapt due to the lack of otherworldly powers or magic or whatever you run on. It may very well rely on food, or something else to mitigate your body. Your symptoms would definitely line up with lack of sustenance.

[reaperrabbit]

...Wait... you think I'm like this 'cause I'm... hungry?

[limbical]

That's the theory I'm going with.

Try eating a piece of bread or something. Start light, and see how that goes. That's what I recommend. And if that doesn't work, we can try other things.

[reaperrabbit]

Ugh... I haven't had to bother with eating in a hundred years...

Are there any breads here that are sweet?

[limbical]

That's rough, buddy. Time to adapt, if I end up being right.

They're in kind of a clear and orange bag. Decent snack, actually. I think they're some kind of rolls, but they should work.

[reaperrabbit]

Okay. I'll try, I guess.

...And. Uh. Thanks. You're actually pretty helpful.

[limbical]

Yeah, that always seems to surprise people. [His tone is wry, so it's at least clear that he doesn't take any offense.]

Mind if I know your name?

[reaperrabbit]

Oh. It's Brook. That's why my username's rabbit_ebrooks. ...It's a joke.

[limbical]

Eh, it's better than mine.

Pleasure, Brook. Message me if you see any improvements or not, all right? I'll try to guide you best I can.

[reaperrabbit]

...Okay. You don't need to, but I'll do that.

[limbical]

Yeah, I don't, but I'd prefer to.

Good luck, Brook.
