No and no. It is attached to Eli Vanto. Supposedly it suppresses his memory of being Woden's horse. I have my doubts about this, but aside from them it is acting as a mental tourniquet.
[Sometime in the middle of the morning, there's a quiet Hades Invasion-- or a homecoming. It feels more like home than any other place, at least, and Luci has missed it. Even though she's been on the road for a month, drawing larger and larger crowds and preaching her gospel at the top of her lungs, somehow being away from her usual stomping grounds has tired her out. Being away from Laura has tired her out, if she's being honest with herself. She's willing to do that after a long bus ride.]
[She leaves her suitcase in the doorway and heads for the bedroom. As she approaches where Laura's passed out, Luci sheds off her jacket, tie, shoes, belt, pants-- all in a trail. She's tired, and she gives no fucks. Well. Few fucks. Luci doesn't flop down violently on the bed, she slides in quietly next to Laura and lets out a long, exhausted, relieved sigh.]
[ Laura sleeps . . . unpredictably, these days, at best. An empty bed is harder than a full one, as a general rule-- and that was even before one of her nightmares literally came to life.
But hey, that's why there's downers to mix for nice long dreamless naps, such as she is enjoying right now. An eye opens to look at Luci and she mumbles out a question. The words are beyond slurred and whatever she said was might as well be word salad. The gist seemed to be pleased yet entirely baffled.
