Thórunn and everyone where in the dining hall, having dinner altogether, including Kuzan. Thórunn and Hrafn where extra hungry, so they some extra mushrooms with theirs, that she had foraged earlier that day.
"Hm, they tasted different than what I remember." Hrafn thought aloud. Thórunn nodded and agreed.
Still, they carried on as normal, but then, Thórunn started to feel a bit dizzy. She tried to move from her seat, but Kuzan was there to catch her.
"Careful, Thor!" Fjorvi warned.
"The room feels weird," she said looking around the room with a dazed look. Kuzan looked at her now really confused and concerned.
"What?" He moved closer to her, looking and inspecting her.
"Agreed" Hrafn was also a little wobbly as he got up and sat with her.
"What's with you two?" Thrandr was confused.
Fjorvi looked around and noticed the mushrooms she wanted to cook with where still out.
"Don't eat the mushrooms everyone!" Fjorvi stood up and shouted in panic to the table.
"Oh, I already ate one" Thrandr said, seemingly only slightly dazed.
"You'll be ok, but these two ate quite a lot already…" he said, pointing at Thórunn and Hrafn. "They're going to be high…for a while…" Fjorvi said, sighing, sitting back down.
Thrandr, Tomo and Feykir tried not to laugh.
Everyone finished their meals and went separate ways. Fjorvi and Anna couldn't help but stick around with them and Kuzan, to help keep an eye on them.
"They just gotta tire themselves out," Fjorvi explained to Anna.
"Or calm them down somehow." Kuzan suggested.
"That won't happen, I don't want them to sleep while under the influence, it can trigger nightmares and sleep issues.. just gotta let this play out for as long as possible." He explained.
Thórun and Hrafn both burst out laughing, Thórunn fell over and took him with her,
"I see stars in here". Hrafn pointed up, as they lay down on the floor looking up.
"Oh yeah, I see them too!!" She as excitable.
"I could eat some ice cream" Hrafn said loudly,
"Oh me too." She agreed and he grabbed her, pulling her up and running past everyone, heading straight to the freezer.
"Let's play truth or dare" he asked with a playful smirk when they got there.
He passed her an ice cream and they both sat on the floor,
"Oh, no, I'm pretty boring," she replied, seemingly sorry for letting him down.
"Nuh uh, are not." He shook his head in disagreement.
"This is really yummy" she said to change the subject.
"Cheers" Hrafn prompted and both started laughing.
They eventually went outside to star gaze. They contemplated, laughed, cried, danced, sang, shouted and played.
"They both have a similar way of thinking. That's why it's taking them so long, to come down" Fjorvi explained. They where both now crying again, Thórunn was now getting overwhelmed and scared.
"Thor, Hrafn, why don't we go for a swim." Fjorvi suggested, knowing they both loved swimming.
They agreed and changed info their swimsuits. They all had followed them outside,
"Kuzan!" Thórunn shouted smiling widely, so pleased to see him, hugging him tightly, he took her hand and gently kissed it.
"Thórunn, please, just listen to Fjorvi, ok?" He said, getting down to her level.
"Yes sir." She saluted him.
"Thór, sweetie, please focus." He said, lowering her arm, holding her hands looking at her intently, trying to calm her.
"You are very handsome Kuzan and you have such kind eyes." She lovingly gazed upon him. He smiled at her softly, he gently kissed her on the lips,
"Please listen to me Thórunn, just do as Fjorvi says, ok?" He tried again.
"Ok.." She quietly said quietly, as if the kiss had calmed her, she began losing her balance, but he supported her.
Kuzan and Fjorvi eventually got them into the pool, he told them to float, to try to relax, close their eyes and listen to the water.
Fjorvi got in with them, as she was crying, he held her hand for affirmation. Then, after some time, slowly guiding them back on land,
"Anna, Kuzan, please keep an eye on them, especially Thór, she won't calm down," Fjorvi was concerned. He had to go and make some herbal, medicinal, teas for them.
Kuzan wrapped her in a towel embracing her, holding her tightly, comforting her, as she was crying a lot. Anna passed Hrafn a towel, he was calmer now.
"It's ok. We're gonna be ok" Hrafn comforted.
Eventually Fjorvi was back with teas, it was a strong tea to knock them out.
"Drink this, Thor, Hrafn." He tried to give them it, they where both shaking and uninterested.
"Is this like Alice in wonderland, will it make me a giant, or really small" Hrafn asked, and they both laughed.
"Or maybe a cat, that would be fun!" Thórunn added, both laughing some more.
"I wouldn't mind being a cat" Hrafn added in.
"Same, that sounds nice." Thórunn mumbled.
"You'd be a ginger cat" Thórunn pointed and told him.
"Of course." Hrafn looked content with it.
"you're going to be just be yourselves again.." Fjorvi put them at ease, amused by them, trying not to laugh now
A few minutes passed, Thórunn sighed, she was exhausted, slumped against Kuzan, unresponsive now. Even Hrafn was quite quiet now. Kuzan was watching them both, he took a sip of the tea,
"See now, Thórunn, Hrafn, it's alright." He reassured them.
"Surprise!" Hrafn said, expecting something to happen, but it didn't.
Fjorvi smiled, thanking him, so it encouraged Hrafn drank his.
"Thórunn. It's nice. Try it!" Hrafn called out to her.
"Mhmm" She wasn't really listening.
Kuzan supported her up, Fjorvi took the cup, pouring it into her mouth, he had made it luke warm. She didn't swallow at first, then she started to,
"That's it. Well done." Kuzan cheered, he continued to do so as Fjorvi gave her the rest.
"Their still awake?" Tomo appeared, he had come out to see them, it was just passed midnight at this point.
"Yep, just got them out." Fjorvi replied as he inspected them both to double check.
"Oh wow that's rough," Tomo said, as he helped Fjorvi pick up Hrafn.
"Kuzan, she may have a restless night or a bad dream…oh, and also she will throw up when she wakes, but then she shouldn't be high anymore… they'll both feel a bit ill tomorrow..I'll see you tomorrow, goodnight. " Fjorvi explained, smiling sympathetically as he left with Tomo.
"I'd be surprised if they don't feel sick, considering the amount of ice cream they ate too.." Anna laughed as others did too.
"Good night, Kuzan, Thórunn" Anna said,
"Good night you two," Kuzan smiled back, sighing, looking down and Thórunn. Anna caught up to Fjorvi.
That night was long, she woke up from a nightmare and threw up just as Fjorvi had said, she found it hard to fall back asleep again, but eventually did with Kuzan's guidance. The next morning, they all joined at the breakfast table, Hrafn and Thórunn felt rough.
"What happened yesterday to us?" Hrafn asked Thórunn, grumbling.
"Are we dying? Are we dead?" He added on, holding his head, they exchanged looks of discomfort.
"No, you're going to be fine, Hrafn, Thórunn." Fjorvi comforted them by gently stroking their backs.
"we just ate some psilocybin mushrooms" She groggily explained to Hrafn.
"I feel sick too, " Thórunn said, holding her stomach, slightly bending over.
"That would be the ice cream you two ate" Anna told them, smiling, playfully laughing at them.
"Oh no, how much of it?" Hrafn asked, looking wary of the answer.
"…Most of it" Anna thought about her reply. Smiling with sympathy.
They groaned in unison of complaint. Fjorvi gave them both a hot drink, to help. Kuzan slowly stroked her back comfortingly as she sat down, they both slowly sipped their tea, quietly sitting there.
Fjorvi and Anna monitored them both throughout the day, they both slowly made progress and felt better by dinner time, they bot stayed away from mushrooms for a while.
