turbulency | scary: karlach

Oh! Wait, I think I knew that, sort of. Tomizawa told me a bit about cell phone stores.

[which apparently is american to karlach.]

Are these the sort of names you find there, then? [looking at the list, herself...]

Yeah, white names.

[ Geto just like, waves hands. ]

I've never been... actually, I've never left Japan before. This is probably the most traveling I've ever done.

[i'm losing it at "yeah, white names" help]

Really? [tilts her head at him.] Gods, wish it was a better vacation. First place you ever visit other than home being basically the Hells...

[ He smiles a little. ]

You were adventuring all over the place before you got here, right?

Yeah. Not by choice, mind, but it was an adventure. I was in the Hells for ten years, and then got tossed out and had to fight my way back to the Gate.

Is that the Baldur's Gate...?

Yeah, that's the one. That's home.

Did you make it back before getting here?

Yeah, I did. For a good couple of days, even, it was nice. Granted, we fought like so many people, a dragon, some vampires, some cultists... while I was there, but it was good to be home, even so.

Karlach... It seems like trouble enjoys clinging to you.

[help she laughs!!]

It really does seem that way, doesn't it. I don't always mind, it's nice to keep busy.

[Could use a break. I'm so tired all the time.]

[ He pauses, looking at her. ]

I hope you get a chance to rest soon.

[ Yesterday must've been torture. ]

[a pause, and then:]

Thanks. [...] You too, you know?

[he's not wrong, though, she had A Time.]

[ He smiles a little before looking serious again. ]

He's all healed up, right? He didn't mention anything when I spoke to him.

Oh yeah. I dumped him in the swamp immediately after. [sighs, rubbing at her temple.

scared the absolute shit out me. proud of him, though.]

He's alright. Tougher than he looks, and bounces back fast for a wizard.

Everyone seemed pretty doubtful, but he came through.

[ Glancing at her. ]

By the way, have you made your wish yet?

Not yet, no. Why?

I just want to know if it works.

You haven't done yours either?

No, I wouldn't be able to see the effects here anyway.

[little ??? above her head...]

Can I ask what it is?

I'm going to get rid of cursed energy. Satoru and I don't have our powers, so we wouldn't be able to tell if it worked.

... I guess the worm might disappear though.

[a little smile.]

... I think that's a good wish, honestly. [it solves the problem without murdering a bazillion people] If the worm vanishes that's a pretty good indicator, yeah?

You should try it.

[ He hesitates. ]

Not yet. I might need it for something else first.

[eyebrow raise.]

Like what?
