*Taps Merlindabest*

Argh, is this thing on? I knew I should've asked Hugin earlier to lower the volume on this thing... It's gonna end up blowing off a bunch of earlobes! Anyway...

*Continues to mumble, taps Merlindabest– again. The sound doesn't come off as scratchy as earlier*

Alright. That should be good. No blowing off earlobes or anything.

"HELLO THERE, COMRADE!! I hope you've had good an adventure!"

*Ever irrational, Arteria's standing on the balcony with her Merlindabest, while Giga wanders close towards the stranger.

...That's... kind of the reason she's yelling right now.*

I know you're probably the last person I should be asking this question to, but I'll try my luck anyway, sorry about that! Have you seen these three lovely ladies anywhere near your vicinity?

*Arteria pulls out three "Missing Person" posters from her pocket. Each poster shows a different woman, and a different name.*

They're my three darlings! One's the ever-so-diligent Dolly, my precious, red-headed and sweet looking; simply precious, love of my life! The other's Rosaline, she's stoic and sharp-faced; you wouldn't ever miss her when she passes by! And the other... ha... she shouldn't be able to cast a snowstorm right now, considering she's bonded, but we'll never know...

*Tucking the papers in her pocket, Arteria looks at you expectantly.*

So? If you've seen them, where to?

⸝✐☡ (whisper) What the-

* Fox is somewhat startled at first but regains composure pretty quickly. She’s had her fair share of someone screaming into this quirky little communication device, after all.

* She doesn’t recognize Arteria, of course. First impressions can be of all kinds.

⸝✐☡ Hmm…

* Fox blinks as she looks at the posters. One, she recognizes easily, but why ask about her... One, not really.

* The last one, however.

⸝✐☡ …

* She wonders if she should ask back… This is making her curious. But as much as that’s the case…

⸝✐☡ Alright, first of all, my adventure has been going well, thank you. I’m still hanging around Whiteridge and all… Hopefully you’re doing alright too.

* One simply ought to be polite.

⸝✐☡ As for the three ladies you mentioned, I don’t think I’ve seen them, apologies.

* Fox is keeping composure quite well, even though just this third one being mentioned was enough to spark a negative reaction from her, even if just a tiny little bit.

⸝✐☡ Pardon me asking though, but have the three been… missing… for a long time? Since aside from two, I don’t think I recognize Rosaline either…

Y el alma mía es como el mar, es eso. Ah, la ciudad la pudre y equivoca pequeña vida que dolor provoca, ¡Qué pueda libertarme de su peso! Vuele mi empeño, mi esperanza vuele... La vida mía debió ser horrible, debió ser una arteria incontenible y apenas es cicatriz que siempre duele.

Struttura microscopica dell'aorta toracica

Sono ben visibili le tre tonache che caratterizzano la struttura delle arterie di grosso calibro: l’intima, la media e l’avventizia. Questi vasi devono sopportare pressioni elevate e per questo motivo necessitano di una struttura in grado di fornire loro allo stesso tempo elasticità e resistenza. La tonaca intima (per intenderci, quella a contatto con il sangue) è costituita da un endotelio (che mima un epitelio pavimentoso monostratificato, ma che origina dal mesenchima) che poggia su uno strato abbastanza sottile di tessuto connettivo lasso. La tonaca media fornisce elasticità all’arteria poiché è costituita da cellule muscolari lisce, fibre collagene ed elastina. La tonaca avventizia, infine, termina con uno strato di tessuto connettivo che fornisce resistenza alla struttura in toto. Sulla sua superficie è possibile ritrovare i cosiddetti vasa vasorum, ovvero piccoli vasi che vanno a nutrire le componenti più esterne delle arterie.

Un dos tres por ser.

Vamos a empezar a contar, sin inicio y sin final, desde el cero hasta matar. Como rimar sin intentar, como asesinar sin mirar. Como un cuchillo entrando por la yugular, como una jeringa implantándose en una arteria letal. Llenándose de aire, llenándose de mal, como respirar en un espacio tóxico, sonriendo sin importar. Acariciando el viento. Dejándose llevar. No te canses de contar, que después del nueve la combinación no es diferente a como ésto se siente.
