[Yeah whatever is happening here is basically just a twin pretzel. Taako is velcro-attached wherever she is. Fussing if anyone even tries to get too close.]

[evocationary]

[ when she's awake, she zones out, but she's pretzeled for sure.

sometimes she mumbles that she's okay to him, though. her weasel sleepily grooms taako's mongoose nearby. ]

[uhhhmagic]

[The mongoose is perfectly content with that, not moving from where it’s cuddled up with the weasel. Taako isn’t moving either, holding onto her a little tighter whenever she mumbles.]

You’re okay.

[Almost reassuring himself there.]

So, what’s the other guy look like?

[evocationary]

Eaten. [ she says, muffled against taako's neck. ]

And stabbed. We uh, we were assistants to a king? But we couldn't find them until the end.

[uhhhmagic]

A king? What an asshole. I hate him already. Fuck that guy. He can go to hell with Claire.

[huff huff.]

[evocationary]

[ a little laugh. ]

No, no, Claire and - and the little, green creature with a big head that turned into a girl. In the rotting meat basement. They can go to hell together. That's the thing that stabbed me.

It's fine. We killed the king with her knife.

[uhhhmagic]

And it bit your finger off? Embarrassing?

[also what’s embarrassing is everything looking weepy and crying. Laughing and making fun of your very injured sister is the way. Everyone here is such a downer sometimes.]

S’fine. We can get you a new one. But like, cool. Maybe gold.

[evocationary]

Wow! No, I was so cool? Look, don't doubt my sense of drama, dingus, I saved weiner boy from certain doom.

And besides, a big blue monster picked me up and ripped it off. Get it right.

[ yeah this is definitely the way to do it. ] I - Hansa has a chainsaw in his leg! I want a chainsaw finger.

[uhhhmagic]

A chainsaw? In your finger? Think the best you’re good do is one of those turkey carving knives. But I can probably make that happen.

[why.]

Why can’t these people just have normal memories. You learn anything good?

[evocationary]

Okay, but. Turkey carving knife is, uh. Also choice. Think of all the intimidation checks I'd pass with that shit.

[ sniff. ]

Um. There was... a school instead of a castle sometimes. And talk about, um. Resets, and summoning monsters? I don't know.

[uhhhmagic]

Oh that— actually seems relevant, right?

[Putting his chin on top of her head.]

How do you summon the monster?

[evocationary]

With dark magic, according to the books. Symbols? There were a lot of... symbols, Alphinaud has the pages still, I think.

[ she's like half asleep again though. ]

[uhhhmagic]

Huh.

[Looking over. He would Like to See It.]

Hey—- [He can see she’s kind of nodding off, so he just adjusts so she’s comfortable, squeezing her in a tighter hug. Then he leans in to mumble something in her ear so no one else can overhear him. It isn’t really for anyone else.]

[evocationary]

[ his mumble gets her to shift and hold him as tightly as she can manage in return, letting out a shaky little sigh.

she murmurs back. just for him. ]
