[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.

[ablazement]

[:pleading_face:]

Don't tell the others what, that we're having a good conversation?

[mygod]

Don't tell the others that I'm capable of social interaction. I'm not yet at the point of pretending that I'm awkward and shy to avoid it, but some of you make it seem tempting.

[ablazement]

[HELP THIS IS SUCH A FUNNY REQUEST

she snorts - and then laughs. cackles.]

Got it. Though if we're being honest, I don't think you could pretend to be awkward and shy for that long, mate.

[you have known them for like five minutes you don't know anything]

[mygod]

[ they tilt their head like they're considering it....

and then bring up a hand to demurely cover their face and look away.... ]

Oh no... I am so.... afraid...?

[ this is their best impression ]

[ablazement]

Really?

[mygod]

[ straightens up and frowns. almost pouts ]

I thought I had it.

[ THEY REALLY DIDN'T ]

[ablazement]

[that was a solid 5 on your performance check, famine]

You've got it with the -- [she puts her hand up over her face like she's pretending to be shy] -- but less with the talking.

[mygod]

Hmmm.

I suppose I don't know many shy or awkward people.

[ they don't know many people ]

[ablazement]

I'm neither, so I'm not helping, I'm sure.

The whole mean thing probably will put off a few, if you really want to be left alone.

[mygod]

I do, but you're all clearly very insistent despite it...

[ they shake their head ]

I'm no match for extroverts.

[ablazement]

We're an awful bunch.

[re: extroverts, she says this so cheerfully.]

I'm mostly just curious. Bunch of people in masks come tell us that we're about to be sacrificed, who wouldn't be interested in what's going on there?

What's with the masks, anyway? Cult uniform?

[mygod]

[ nods in agreement... extroverts are truly the worst (no)

as for the question, ]

Pestilence likes dress up. Maybe it's one of their bonding activities?

[ablazement]

So they made you dress up with the horns and such?

[cultural appropriation (no)]

[mygod]

There are worse hobbies.

[ it's just cosplay that is apparently slightly problematic sorry karlach ]

[ablazement]

[honestly the cult kidnapping her to feed her to a god is more problematic than the horns so they're fine]

Oh, definitely. How many people have asked to see your face?
