I don't even remember what else I was originally going to ask anymore, this conversation really did not go the way I expected it to. Uh.
...Oh, not related to monsters unless you're about to surprise me again, but— what's the deal with the swamp's healing abilities? That kind of came out of nowhere, and it seems shady as hell.
The swamp has been altering the past few weeks, but that's out of our control. It's not the work of us, monsters, or the cult. But it does seem rather... warped.
For those who require more than basic first aid, it seems like help will come at a cost.
Do the stars actually have something to do with it or is that just an expression for the passage of time?
[ he hasn't really been paying any attention to the sky, but it's not like he knows anything about astronomy in the first place. ]
...Anyway, I get what you mean. But last week's beach location was great and this one sucks, so I wouldn't necessarily trust anything good we get not to shift back later into something worse, either.
[ gets this look like YOU'RE TELLING ME at the indirectness complaint... but at least if they're also complaining about it, they're obviously not making these conversations so annoying by choice, so he guesses he can forgive it.
...but man, they're really moving toward an equilibrium? it's felt to him like everything's just been unraveling faster and becoming more of a mess. ]
[ BECAUSE IT FEELS PRETTY DIRE OUT HERE, FOLKS... phew. ]
All right. I guess I'll just... [ DEAL WITH THESE BOMBSHELLS ] drop another line when I inevitably remember some more questions I'm forgetting now. Thanks.

It is not a poor precaution to take. We aren't at liberty to speak of conversations we have with others, but you can reconvene with her in time.

[ honestly he's not sure he'd even want to do it then because wading into a nasty-ass leech swamp with open wounds sounds fucking awful. ]
So if no one made it do that intentionally, it's just another case of the magic in the atmosphere or whatever making things weird?

Consider it similar to how the additional locations shift every week with the stars. Things are changing constantly.
This is not always a negative.

[ for the stars to change with every universe they dip a toe into ]
On that note: think bigger.

About what...?
no subject
[ a pause. frowns. ]
It is inconvenient to speak so indirectly... What a waste of time. Just look around. Progress is being made, even if not so obviously.

Progress toward stopping this, you mean?
no subject
Yes. [ a beat ] Though it may not come in a form you expect. Pieces are already being distributed around the village.
no subject
Okay, well... that's good to know.

As long as you stay efficient.
[ good business meeting, see you later ]
