Linya and Bella are working on wishes, in between light chat about runecasting and their personal lives. It is radiantly obvious to people paying attention that Bella wants to kiss her and Linya is married, although neither statement is made.
Ivans are playing cards.
Mileses, including Solvei, are debating the wisdom of borrowing another strategy game from Bar; Mark, a voice of caution, does not know what will happen if all of them (Solvei, Mial, Miles, Milo, Stalas) all start screaming at each other in twenty directions.

"It is! I actually have some with me, is there anyone here who could really use some unnatural health?"

"I mean, if you have infinity of it to go around I won't turn you down but I'm planning to move out of my organic body and into a shiny rock and I'm not sure how much good it will do me after that..."

"I'm sort of curious what good it could possibly do me, but if you don't have it to spare for experiments I will do without."

"I don't remember for sure how many I have, let me check."
She digs around in a few belt pouches and comes up with a handful of heart-shaped red objects, and then another handful of heart-shaped yellow objects.
"Okay, that's... ninety-nine, ninety-nine, ninety-nine... three hundred and twenty-one heart candies and two hundred and thirty-three Life Fruits," she says. "Which is enough for, um... twenty-one people to get all the unnatural health that heart candies will give you, and eleven of them to get all the unnatural health Life Fruits will give you on top of that."

"What is the mechanism here? One just eats them, like they're candy? I wonder if there's any way to manufacture them... how do you get them in Terraria?"
greatestgift
"You get heart candies by smashing crystal hearts that just sort of exist underground in caves, and Life Fruits by picking them from plants that spontaneously grow in certain areas after certain conditions are met," says Sable. "Because Terraria. And yes, you just eat them like they're candy."

"Probably not amenable to reverse engineering and hard to distribute discreetly anyway."

"...Milan," says Ivan, "are you worried the anti-science world will stomp you for eating extremely inexplicable non-scientific heart candy, or do you just not want the results maybe probably eeenh?"
first-and-final
"I'm worried because I don't know what the results would be, and fucking around with fairy curses is generally pretty stupid, but if the results came out in a way I liked it would be really nice so I am really tempted," says Milan, conflictedly. One might begin to worry that his face will get stuck that way.

"Fairy curses in particular above and beyond general 'the universe wants to punish you' reasons are a particularly dangerous thing?"
first-and-final
"Yes? Sort of? Fairy curses are the sort of thing it is a bad idea to try to circumvent without either making an honourable attempt to fulfill the ending condition where applicable, or getting another fairy on your side. And if this one has an ending condition, I don't know it and have no good way to find it out."

"I don't suppose this is one of Bar's useful powers, finding curse ending conditions...?"
Alas, no.
"Rats. Worth a try."

"Anyway. Let me just..."
Sable sits at a table and starts separating her handfuls of magical treats into piles. Eleven little pairs of a red candy and a yellow fruit sitting next to each other, and then ten more red candies sitting alone. (There are a few extras, which she returns to her pocket.)
"I know it doesn't look like it, but each of these red things is fifteen heart candies, and the yellow ones are twenty Life Fruits. You can't get any good out of a Life Fruit until you've had the maximum number of heart candies already. And I'm reserving two of the full sets for my parents in case I can get back home from here but can't go back to Terraria to stock up first." She pockets two red-yellow pairs. "So that's nine full sets of heart candies and Life Fruits, plus ten sets of just heart candies, left over to give to people I meet in strange bars. Who wants some?"

"These are all full sets? I don't particularly wish to deprive someone else of a set just for my curiosity."

"I also have six extra heart candies if you just want to try one to see what happens," she says.

"I would like that - but given the rate at which people with exotic health problems are accumulating in here I might wait until you're about to leave."

"That's fair."
She looks over at the assembled Miles-and-siblings.
"Well?"

"...I kind of want it in case it gets around my curse better than my health blessing already does," says Milo.
"I'm a little torn," says Ashras. "What we've got is uncomfortable but it's not that inconvenient compared to what it sounds like the rest of you have. As Mileses go, I might not rate."

"Doesn't seem like it'd do me any good at all," shrugs Mial.
"Since the magic blood, I'm not especially in need of unnatural health," says Miles.
"...I want it," says Stalas. He approaches Sable and her rows of goodies.

Sable picks up a red candy and a yellow fruit from the row of pairs.
"Actually I'm kind of curious - can you separate those out by yourself?" she asks, handing Stalas the red candy.

"I... don't think so?" he says. "At least, if I can, it's not obvious how."
