[ there is some silent hesitation here. the way their head turns ever so slightly as if checking the surroundings. no foot to foot shifting because - well, floating. the energy is there.
after a long moment, they reach up to scoop the mask from the bottom and lift it a little over their head and away from their face. ]
[ beneath the mask is a handsome drow with the same deep, purple skin as the hands in the memory. his hair is short and shockingly white, but matches the eyelashes and eyebrows below. both ears are decorated in silver jewelry, and there is even a loop through the center of his nose. his eyes are brilliantly violet, the expression in them cautious. ]
they immediately yoink the mask down again over their face, situating it. NO. they aren't exactly entirely flustered, maybe more confused as it why karlach would just SAY THIS aloud.
[ HELP ME THIS IS STILL SO FUNNY THE WAY YOU JUST SUDDENLY REMEMBERED
this memory is NOT funny, though. this memory sucks, but not because of what has happened. it's the unfulfilled pit inside that sucks. it's being too hot, thinking the fire would subside only for it to grow.
they are clutching the front of their robe over their heart with a fist.
maybe the other part that sucks is having friends. ]
It's all right to admit you aren't okay. I mean... for you anyway. I think you have that luxury more than most, to allow people to hear it wasn't... enough.
Revenge is quite like that, isn't it? Satisfaction only for a moment's time.

Oh - so you have got the Underdark. But - we haven't got Xhorhas? [almost like it's for copyright reasons] Huh.
Then I wasn't a big surprise for you. Maybe a bit taller than you'd expect.
no subject
You are quite tall for a tiefling, but I guess people of all races come in various shapes and sizes.
no subject
So d'you actually have horns, then?
no subject
No. I'm a drow. We don't typically come equipped with horns.
no subject
Can I see? [she knows drow don't have horns she wants to see your face hot boy]

WHERE IS YOUR FILTER? ]
no subject
she squawks, and then laughs at this oh my god.]
Nooo! I'm just saying! You've got a nice face, you haven't got to hide it!
no subject
It's policy. I shouldn't have shown you to begin with.
no subject
You're just shy. That's alright. [rules goblin]
no subject
It is detrimental for us to show ourselves to all of you. So do keep this to yourself.
[ she's already blabbing probably. ]
no subject
I'm not going to tell anybody, promise. Why can't you, though?
no subject
You think the cult won't send us the way of Nehan if they think we're fraternizing with all of the sacrifices?
no subject
I want you all safe, so. I won't tell. You can trust me - I promise.
no subject
We will see then...
no subject
she's going to say more but i hit you with a memory. traitors...]

It's - well, no, it's not okay, but it is. In the way I've got to say it is, yeah?
