Where: around the Barge
Warnings: some violence, blood drinking

i. one mushroom

Armand doesn't have to exert any self-control not to eat mysterious mushrooms, both because it doesn't take a lot of sense not to eat mysterious fungi at any time - let alone during a flood - and because he has no taste for human food and this counts as more than close enough. Unfortunately, the other effects of the flood get in the way of personal resolutions. It only takes missing step and he ends up with a face full of something that should taste horrible.

That the mushroom actually tastes good wouldn't be enough to change his mind, but the mushroom has other methods of being convincing. There's something he could say about weakness to artificial happiness, but he's busy tasting a few more.

However, while the mushrooms aren't as tasteless as everything other than blood has been for more than five hundred years, they aren't any more filling. And they make the thought of filling himself on blood seem all the more appealing.

Armand hasn't lost his inhibitions, exactly, so he doesn't make any plan to hunt someone down and fully drain them. Yes, death seems to be temporarily even more on pause than usual, but he doesn't intend to do anything that would kill someone if it was. There's nothing wrong with taking a sip or two. It sounds like a lot of fun - which isn't the sort of thought that frequently crosses his mind.

He's not quite humming to himself as he wanders the corridors, looking for a snack or two.

ii. two mushrooms

Not all mushrooms have the same effect, which is good for Armand as the first ones had encouraged him to keep eating them. Eventually he runs across one that involves transformation of the body rather than that of the mind.

Perhaps it's for the best that he's in animal form when he can look at his recent actions with a clear mind. It helps dull the effects - or, at least, it gives him reason to avoid dealing with it for a while longer to instead flop down in various common rooms in the shape of a shaggy dog.

Ugh.

This is definitely going on the list of floods that manage to come close to actually embarrassing. Well, he has time to give polite apologies when he's back in vampire shape.
