... So that guy was gonna quit using curses... but you also use curses?

[turbulency]

He uses his ability outside of the jurisdiction of jujutsu society. Kind of like how both criminals and cops use guns, but only one of them does it illegally.

[killies]

So you're like... magic cops.

[turbulency]

[ ashlyn like acab... ]

I guess? We usually fight cursed spirits and not people, though.

[killies]

[ regrettably she is probably pretty positive on cops. 😒 ]

But it's to protect the people who can't protect themselves.

[turbulency]

[ ashlyn... ]

... Yes. That's why we fight.

[ He doesn't seem particularly enthused about it. ]

[killies]

[ 😔 ]

... You don't like to?

[turbulency]

[ ... ]

It's tiring, that's all.

[killies]

Do you have to? Could you take a break?

[turbulency]

Kind of. There's only a handful of sorcerers in Japan and lots of curses.

[ cola gimme mem!! ]

[killies]

But that doesn't mean you should have to take on the responsibility all the time.

[ she says. and then wow, a memory of captivity. ]

[turbulency]

[ aaaaaaa i missed this tag

But, ah. No. That's very bad. ]

How long ago was that?

[killies]

[ npnpnp. ]

Couple weeks, maybe? Uh, weeks before showing up here. I don't know, I'd been kind of... losing track of time in there.

[turbulency]

[ thinking... ]

Are you still there? Did you figure out if it really was an infection...?

[killies]

I was, yeah...

[ as for the second question... ] I don't think so. But it's something. I don't know.

[turbulency]

So you're still not sure if it was real or a hallucination?

[ man that is messed up ]

[killies]

It's real. [ firm, even though she sounded uncertain a second ago. ] I just don't know how much of it.

[turbulency]

How do you know?

[ He doesn't sound doubtful, just curious. ]

[killies]

We talk about it during the day. The things that happened in the other dimension and how to handle them. It would have to be a shared hallucination then, right? How would that even work?

[ probably by them talking to each other and just integrating what they all say into the hallucination but whatever she doesn't think about that. ]

[turbulency]

That's true. [ He doesn't know much about hallucinogenics. ] Was it still happening while you were there?

[ He's guessing so, since she was particular about the schedule when she arrived. ]

[killies]

Yeah. We managed to get some security passes on that side, so we can leave our cells and meet up during the night.

[turbulency]

And your friends that you thought were dead? They're really alive?

[killies]

Oh. Yeah. They died in the Phantom Dimension, so it doesn't carry over.

[turbulency]

So if you die in the Phantom Dimension... you don't die in real life?

[killies]

Nope. It'll just hurt.
