Post #3: Alternate Liquids - Acidus

This is a liquid that I actually have, preserved.

I call it "Acidus" which is Latin for "Acid".

This liquid is found in the bodies of Maenad's and is often left behind by The Rake.

According to my journal, I got this liquid by tracking down a dead body of a fully mutated Maenad.

Acidus has the properties of Hydrofluoric Acid, for those of you who don't know what that is, it's basically an acid that can burn practically through anything, even glass. However, unlike Hydrofluoric Acid, this Acid has the color of slight, dark blue in it, making it look like Liquid Oxygen. Also, when I first found this liquid, bleeding out of the dead Maenad's body, it wasn't burning through the ground, nor was it drying out, only when I got close, did it start burning through the ground.

Also, another distinction from the usual Hydrofluoric Acid, is that, Acidus, doesn't create dangerous gas, at least, it didn't so far. Another major difference, is that Acidus doesn't necessarily burn through everything it comes in contact with. Maenad's carry it inside of them without deadly consequences.

I believe that Acidus, just like Azoth, is alive. It doesn't move like Azoth, in fact, in that regard, it doesn't move at all. However, the reason I say it's alive, is because, it seems to choose what it wants to burn. According to my journal, I ran an experiment based on this assumption, since Hydrofluoric Acid can't burn through plastic I created a sort of glove made out of plastic, put a rock into my palm and poured Acidus on top of the rock, the experiment showed that Acidus didn't even try to burn the rock, it was trying to burn through the Plastic Glove, trying to get to my exposed hand, the way I could tell, was that it was creating steam, the steam was coming from under the rock and from around the rock, but not from the top of the rock.

Didn't try to interact with it, via fire, water, etc. Since I don't know what the chain reaction could be, Hydrofluoric Acid is nothing to joke with.

Now, I couldn't take Maenad's body in, for further study, since it was covered in Acidus and would probably burn my arms, while carrying the dead Maenad. My other source was able to dissect a Maenad's body and he says that Acidus seems to mostly stay in two places of the body, a little bit of it in the nervous system and the rest of it practically replaces Hydrochloric Acid (Stomach Acid all of us have). Don't know if this source is still alive to this day, nor did my past self detail any contact information for this Source.

Unlike Slender Man who seems to spread Azoth into a human body, by making internal contact (For example: A stab with it's tentacle) with a human body and then, once inside, separating little bits of it from itself. The Rake seems to do it in a venomous fashion, by biting its victims.

I can't tell if the "Whispers" Maenad's hear are coming from Acidus, or The Rake itself, since we don't have a lot of information on Acidus. However, the fact that Acidus seems to reside in the nervous system of the human's body would suggest that Acidus is responsible for a Maenad Mutation Process, however, that isn't proven.
