Since bleeding is unreliable, what about spit? That should be easy enough. Just gather a bit in my mouth and *ptooh. The spit seems to have done nothing and just slowly slips down the spike. At least it's one less option to consider.
What exactly is up with this situation? What's Jordan Joekepler and why am I here? I can't seem to remember much..
Wait, why's there now a red spot on the spike...? If I'm not mistaken, that spot was golden but it's now red. Was it the spit?
Well there's one way to find out, *ptooh.
That confirms it, spit does nothing to the purple parts, but somehow affects the golden bits. What is this all supposed to mean?
