A Rising Resistance and a Falling Empire

@Praedyth  
the snake startles.
 
“oh it’s you, can i help you?”

@Cerebrate  
He chuckled as the snek was startled before getting to the reason he stuck around until he was noticed “Remember when you said you had something that could help me sleep?”

@Praedyth  
“ah yes, my venom is by itself a calming agent, in stronger dosages it will send you to dreamland for hours, no questions asked, a particularly strong one even a whole day.”

@Cerebrate  
“Hopefully a strong dose has the same effect on me as the others.. there’s been times where I’ve made some people confused where I’ve consumed a whole bottle of sleeping pills, and was still awake for a week, then falling asleep for an hour”

@Cerebrate  
“my body hates me when it comes to sleep”

@Praedyth
 
@Praedyth  
“well, if that’s the case there is no telling.”

@Cerebrate  
“only one way to find out” he chuckled

@Praedyth  
he flicks his teeth out.
 
“suppose so, hold still for a sec.”

@Cerebrate  
And so he held still “Still isn’t as terrifying as an loaded PTRD-41 aimed at me when I’m at point blank range”

@Praedyth  
“no clue what that word means, but here goes.”
 
before anything else the injector teeth had sunk into him and were pumping the venom into him.

@Cerebrate  
He felt the venom entering his bloodstream, although it was setting in slowly “You know how bows are a deadly ranged weapon?”

@Praedyth  
“i can tell it is not a bow, leading up to a handheld cannon of sorts?”

@Cerebrate  
“beyond that, none of this exists yet but well”

“Wanna hear the exact details?”

@Praedyth  
“not here, it’ll just give someone too smart for their own good ideas that will kill them.”

@Cerebrate  
“I mean, it would be funny watching someone make a ranged weapon only to see their first shot kill them before the barrel exploded sending shards of metal into them because they didn’t properly test the integrity of said weapon”

@Praedyth  
“let’s just not tempt fate.”

@Cerebrate  
“yep”

@Praedyth  
he extracts his teeth.
 
“well anytime between now and next week you’re gonna drop.”

@Cerebrate  
“heh We’ll see. It takes a long time for venom to take effect in me”

@Praedyth  
APep: “well, was that all?”

@Cerebrate  
“Yep”

@Praedyth  
with a nod the snake turns back to his “artwork”.
 
“found a few shady looking guys with the crates earlier, i think they’re trying to make off with a few valuables, if that interests you.”

@Cerebrate  
“Hmm.. I’ll head after them”

@Cerebrate  
Dan had began making his way towards where he thought those people were.
