last thing i wrote, thank you for the tag @gulliblelemon 💜
(the actual last thing i wrote is extremely unrefined, not to mention a MASSIVE spoiler for heart of the sun. so you get this bit that comes before it, and is slightly less spoiler-y.)
Simon kicks the stool in front of him in frustration. “Sol, [redacted] is going to die if we don’t find out what it’s made of. ” The irony of it all, he thinks. The pill might kill him after all. “Tell us what is in it.”
For a long while the beeps of the machines attached to [redacted] are the only sounds in the room. Madison looks like she’s going to scream if Sol doesn’t answer the question, but Simon signals her to wait. If he’s right, the ship cannot ignore a direct demand.
“The ingredient list of the pill is up on screen six.”
Simon and Madison scramble up to the small screens on the wall. Simon scans the list of ingredients, but most of them sound completely unfamiliar to him.
Madison, however, reads them with a frown. Then, “Aha!”
“That one,” she jabs her finger at one of the words at the beginning of the list, “That’s something that does not react well with heat.”
i think a lot of people are doing the gift exchange, but no pressure tagging @the-impala-is-my-home @oui-oui-holly @crw13 and @oneofthosebells if you have something you can share.
