What do we know 'bout the Black Widows? In general-- not the individuals specifically.

There were some in the wilds, an' from my experience an' what we seen aren't uncommon for them. They don' control but gently persuade while you're makin' bad decisions. But if you've a suspect in mind, don't touch them barehanded. They've a fang underneath the ring finger of their right hands. In fact, don't even go near their right hands if you can help it.

If you know more'n that, especially what they can do, share it. 'S somethin' we need to know.

[ urgh. daylight winces at the thought of testing on poor helpless animals - especially bunnies...! - and his discomfort is probably felt through his link with lucas. daylight has never been one to hide his emotions or thoughts.

but a question was asked and it's a question he can answer. kind of. maybe. he's going to make an effort to try since they're all in this together. ]

This is a stab in the dark but I think the poison the Black Widows use is either necrotoxins or neurotoxins. [ probably a mixture of both if they're real unlucky. ]

Necrotoxins can cause the pain a person feels that- [ what's the right address to use again?? ] -Lady Fayura described to me when giving me the basics of Black Widows. Actual black widow spiders produce neurotoxins though so... Yeah. Something to keep in mind.

But we definitely need to stick together when speaking with them. A lot of them aren't happy and are making it known.

[Pff, god, it -- it is, the discomfort and it friggin' tickles -- ...!

And chances are, that's... gonna be felt right back. That little low, chemical bubbling. Daylight may not be one to hide his feelings, and, well... Lucas isn't really one to hide his laughter.

That said, though, it kinda carries into the creakin'-over-top swell on this next part...!]

Whaohww, I KNOW what necrotoxins and neurotoxins are, maaan! I'm a scientist!

[Becaaaauuuuse all scientists... work with toxins...?

Keenin' further nasalized.]

That's why I was askin' -- ! [A... little dusty high-knocking chuckle...! On his end, he plays with one of the strings on his hoodie, as his voice thickens up, a bit...!] ...May-be this is where I could come in -- ...!

[Gemme in on that poison-handling, gemme in on that intel...!

It's... also not that he's ignoring the "stick together" part, because... that's hard to do when it's gone in one ear and basically out the other because you're frickin' invincible.

Or, you know. So he'd like to think, anyway.]

[ oh!

he doesn't want to be rude but that's heck a plot twist he wasn't expecting when he began speaking with the guy.

huh. don't judge by a book by its cover and everything, as auntie laura would say. even if daylight is (finally) starting to get a faint alarm of 'stranger danger' coming in. rather delayed, all things considered, but it's there and it helps temper his emotions to something more manageable. ]

Does this mean you're a- [ he struggled to remember the proper term for a poison scientist... person. ] -a toxicologist, then? That's pretty good to hear.

[ right-! ] I, um, was thinking of asking the Head Healer Lady for help. In getting the antivenin made from the venom of some Black Widows we have in custody. Maybe you and Rhus will have better luck with it, since you guys seem to have a better idea of how to do this sort of stuff.

[ alas, medicine isn't day's speciality. that would be his meddroid, meddy, but they're not with him right now. ]
