Hmm... processing it all?

And shouldn't I be asking you that?

Um, well. It's pretty bad, to be honest! I think we are all very upset right now...

But I wanted to ask you a few things. Sorry for the rush, but I felt like at least one of them couldn't really wait.

Answering questions is what I'm here for.

What is it?

... Do you know what's blocking our powers here? And, I know this is a long shot, but is there any way to remove it?

It's part of the magic that brought you here, and for once that was on purpose.

... as far as I know, no.

[deflates]

... I thought so. It was worth a shot, though.

Sorry. I know it would make things a lot easier.

It's not your fault. Though it's true that if I had my powers, then maybe I could help Boothill...

[like how she was able to help her mother.]

Do we... know how we're dealing with him?

... there is a really good chance that it's going to kill him.

Um, but we're still trying to find another way! Famine is pretty confident that we won't find anything else, though, but it feels like giving up to stop looking.

[she nods.]

I get it. Both sides, I mean. I don't want to stop looking for another way, in case something comes up, but I'm... I think I'm prepared for the worst case too.

... that's good.

For someone who's kind of a scaredy cat, you're pretty brave.

D-Does everyone have to keep pointing out that I'm a scaredy cat? There are certain things I'm afraid of, yes, but I've dealt with a lot of danger too...!

It's a charm point! Everyone needs at least one thing that is really cute!

... I guess I'll take it as a charm point, since you called it cute...

Right! Like mine is... ah...

I guess it's a little weird to assign yourself one.

No, say it! [SHE HAS OTHER BUSINESS SHE WANTS TO TALK ABOUT BUT THIS IS IMPORTANT. also coping when things are horrible] Be bold and admit it!

[ Embarrassing!! Ah... ]

Um... candy...? This is hard!

Your charm point is candy...?

I'm sweet?

[ They are trying to save this. ]

[nods]

Yeah! That's definitely a charm point.

Even if that's just to make me feel better, I'll accept the compliment.

Well, you've seemed pretty sweet so far, so it's not just me saying things.

Oh, but I did want to ask you about something else. [it is too late now but nona does not yet know this.] What I asked about before, with what to do with the dead...

We're trying to figure it out. A whole lot of people are interested in that and they're all kind of demanding we do different things with them, so we're kind of uncertain.

... Yeah, I guess we all have different traditions and expectations when it comes to rituals for the dead. Can I ask what's going to happen to their bodies, at least...?

We're likely going to end up preserving them from now. Once we get all of you home, we'd at least like to send their remains back where they belong.

[ attach a note to boothill that says he had a heart attack or something idk ]
