[ when will it be in a spicy way........ ]

I only saw it briefly, but it is preserved now. Heart surgery isn't as impossible as you think. You could also get someone else's heart if they've donated it.

I understand that you've tried in your own world—but you are somewhere else now.

[ablazement]

[never because every girl here is twelve or hetbeamed]

I don't - want someone else's heart. [she says, a bit stiff, but...] ... Guess you're not wrong. This is a different place.

I'll be honest, Fam, not really looking for another surgery. [the first one sucked real bad!]

[mygod]

[ stop that i still believe

but famine tilts their head at that. they understand, to a degree, but to put it simply - ]

I don't want you to die.

[ablazement]

[:uweh:

that seems to surprise her, somehow.]

... I don't want to either. I don't want to die. [her voice cracks a little here, but she clears her throat and tries again.] Wasn't expecting that sort of sentiment from you.

[mygod]

Is it sentiment that makes it that I don't want to see random people drop dead?

[ they shake their head ]

Perhaps as a joke, I will tell someone that I can't tell them apart from road kill. [ bad joke. a beat ] Though I do think there are some idiots you can't stop from being their own demise.

But I am here because I do not want you to face irreparable harm.

[ablazement]

Guess I'd pegged you as a person who never says the squishy stuff, but I've only known you what, handful of hours? Makes sense that I'd be wrong.

[her tail swings back and forth.]

Nice to have you on our side. That's a good thing, you know? A good thing you're doing. People who don't want other people to die for no reason aren't the type who end up burning.

[mygod]

There are plenty of other reasons to burn.

[ that is too close to talking more about themselves though so they will not get into it ]

I would consider... most... of our group to be emotionally reserved, but we are in agreement about not wanting any of you to die, yes.

[ablazement]

[she'll get those answers someday...]

You lot are a pretty funny bunch, honestly. [affectionate] Were you friends before the whole coming together to save us from certain doom thing?

[mygod]

[ i believe in her.... ]

No. I'm not even sure if we're friends now.

They're not the worst, though. I agree with the assessment that they're funny.

[ablazement]

You seem to get along alright, even though Death was like argh, I've got zero friends and don't feel emotions, oooh, fear me.

[that is not what they said]

I like all of you, for what it's worth.

[mygod]

[ laughs ]

A well done impression.

[ was it ]

[ablazement]

[snorts!!]

I'm excellent at those. [you are not]

[mygod]

[ nods ]

Try War.

[ why ]

[ablazement]

[thinks for a second, and then just drops into a big exaggerated frown.]

I hate you don't talk to me I'm a mean old wizard.

[mygod]

[ laughs and claps like watching a splendid performance ]

Pesto?

[ablazement]

[she's laughing the second she finishes these, for the record.]

Ooh, tougher one. Okay, let's see.

What's this, what's that? Nifty! Howdy! Shit, what was the -- Ecological!

[mygod]

[ help okay that one makes famine laugh harder ]

Ecological. I see.

[ablazement]

[she's giggling like an idiot]

I'm not as good with the studying bits!

[mygod]

Not everyone must be.

[ but also they're going to point at themselves now. they can take a joke ]

[ablazement]

[she gives them a little wink.]

Oooh, I'm a Nosy Nancy! Ask me a question and get a stone wall to the face, pest!

[mygod]

[ they nod thoughtfully, as if taking in this assessment ]

I haven't called you Pest thus far. Would you like me to?

[ablazement]

[HELP]

Hah - haha, no, I'm good, thanks, soldier. [laughing!!] Just Karlach's alright, if you can stomach it.

[mygod]

Pest Karlach.

[ no

though based on their slight grin, they're clearly teasing ]

[ablazement]

[she's so delighted by this.]

Brat. [she says, clearly fond.] You call me that and I'll live up to the name.

[we are friends now (threat)]

[mygod]

[ i want to be your friend so bad miss karlach ]

I'd rather not raise your hopes too high... but something to break up the monotony doesn't hurt.

[ that said, ]

Don't tell the others.
