Not sure. I think Shadowheart would just beat me with a mace for getting into the situation at all.

[sweats. she follows their gaze, though? the hand...]

Can't do anything but, really. [endure.] You wanna walk and talk a bit? I've got questions and things.

[but also:]

And I wanted to spend time with you, anyway. [ew, gross, affection]

[mygod]

[ ew gross affection. but honestly that just makes famine laugh, slightly surprised ]

Oh? Feeling like a glutton for punishment, Pest Karlach?

[ they grin, and it's only a little mean ]

I suppose there's worse company.

[ablazement]

[she laughs, her tail swaying back and forth.]

Fam, my weekend was such shit that talking to you is like walking in a field of butterflies. [this is mostly a joke, mostly.]

I'm great fucking company also, d'you mind? Gods. [makes a face at them]

[mygod]

[ brings a hand up to their chin in thought ]

That's true. A conversation with me won't cost you your entire fucking hand.

[ WHAT A BAR TO CLEAR and also it's just fingers stop being dramatic ]

I already said that there are worse people to answer a crow from. Take it or leave it.

[ablazement]

[snorts.]

I'll take it. [tail swish.] Come on, I'm not a woman of leisure.

[action!!! walkies!!!]

So... the objects that popped up, today.

[mygod]

[ walkies! famine walks like they're literally in no rush to be anywhere though i'm sorry karlach ]

You mean the ones that will probably tempt another murder? What about them?

[ablazement]

[that's fine, she just wants to walk because she's the most fidgety person in the universe.]

That from the big cult? [she doesn't want to think about the murder part!! she is in a murdergame. she will eventually have to think about this.]

[mygod]

[ she's in a murdergame and already murdered a cowboy but it's okay it's still monday don't have to worry about it ]

No. I was made aware of it this morning when someone mentioned it to me... I think it's something of a fluctuation. A rift that opened, that pulled in a few objects of people's desires.

Why? Worried? Or tempted?

[ablazement]

[that is PRECISELY why she doesn't want to think about it. sadly yeehaws.]

Huh. [she rubs at her neck a bit.] Can't say I didn't think about it.

[which might be surprising, maybe]

[mygod]

Anyone who'd say they didn't take a glance at any of them is either stupid or a liar.

[ but as they've discussed famine tends to assume people suck. but also ]

Even a hero would think about the obvious math between one life and world peace.

So? Which one called out to you?

[ablazement]

[she frowns, at one life and world peace, because she has opinions about this, but they asked her a question, so.]

Few of them, actually. But that was why I was asking - do you know if the cure any sickness one would cure vampirism?

[because she is not asking for herself, of course]

[mygod]

[ ah. of course. ]

Is vampirism known as a sickness or an ailment? I'm only passingly familiar.

But I don't see why not.

[ablazement]

Ailment, I guess. Disease? I don't know.

[...]

I don't know that I could do it. There's not anybody that deserves to die here.

[mygod]

What makes someone deserving of death?

[ the question is more idly curious than anything ]

[ablazement]

Unforgivable shit. Like leading a monster to a place thousands of people call home. Wiped out civilizations, killed innocent people and liked it.

[she guesses she doesn't really know if anybody have done these things, but.]

[mygod]

That's not exactly something that someone would admit at an icebreaker, unless they're feeling especially reckless and self-destructive.

[ they'll point that out

but more seriously, they frown in thought, as if turning that idea over in their head... ]

Sounds like a reasonable measure.

[ablazement]

[huffs at that, but they're right.]

I don't know. Guess if there's someone who needs taking out, I can do it. Already did it once.

[...]

Anyway. I figure that's going to cause trouble. We're going to have some shitty weeks ahead of us.

[mygod]

I do not know that we need to keep handing that responsibility to you when plenty of other people have two complete hands... but if you see an opportunity to gain something for your companion, I don't see a reason why not.

[ famine doesn't seem to have strong opinions of whether or not people fall for the incentives. none of their business... ]

Everyone has their reasons for things. I'm willing to save you all from ritual sacrifice, but I'd rather not get involved in what you do to each other.

[ablazement]

I'd really prefer nobody kill anybody for anything at all, but I'm not a fucking idiot.

[she is hopeful, not blindly optimistic. huff.]

I've had a few people tell me their monsters, but now everybody's playing a bit more safe, I think.

[mygod]

Oh? I suppose that can be reasonable in one way.

Though for the people who don't want to kill for their wish, this is another way to see it through.

[ tilts head ]

Despite being sacrifices, there seems to be a lot of ways to get what you want here. It's curious.

[ablazement]

[i already know this is dana but your tilts head is my sniffs]

Really? Like other ways that I don't know, or just that?

[mygod]

[ after a week of timezone giveaways i’ve just fucking given up and it shows

famine sniffs (no they don’t) ]

The partners wish for the pacifists. The items under the swamp for the desperate.

[ablazement]

[JFLSKDFK STOP NOT THE REVERSE UNO]

Gods, when you put it that way.

I don't even know where to start with the partners.

[mygod]

You do not seek to find your match?

[ablazement]

I've got this problem where I'm intensely too curious for my own good. So I want to know, but I don't, you know?
