Okay, look, I didn't know I was going to be a dead wizard when I made it. [ obviously!!! ] It was a project I got really into while we were world hopping. It's called an umbra staff. I mostly just wanted to see if I could do it, and I did.
This was, uh, something like... thirty years before I died.

[that makes a little more sense to him. sometimes you just want to do things to prove to yourself that you can, but this still sounds like there's a lot of missing context. he's not sure he wants to ask (or, no, he does) but he figures it's maybe best not to ask lup too much about it.]
...is the one that Taako has the same one but from a different time? [it's about the most calm way he can ask what he wants to ask. he's very highly concerned that lup's own weapon ate her.]
...I never thought this place was awful on purpose, but...what? [it's said in the tone of someone who would say "what the fuck" if he was legally allowed to say fuck.]
It's not a great reminder. [ she'll... explain better if he asks, but. ] I don't know why it's here, just that it is and I - kind of don't want to get too close to it.
It's supposed to just... you know, suck up the power of wizards you defeat with it. I don't think you necessarily have to kill them. You shouldn't have to.
We were on a world where we all were instructed on how to make magical artifacts, basically. [ we, she says. static. ]
Is that a part of the first thing you can't remember? Or is this something else? [bad?] Someone told me they lost two things. I didn't even know that was possible.

[sure!] You have your umbrella, right? I could probably use a tree branch and we could practice.
no subject
[ she says this immediately and with such vehemence. ]
no subject
Okay, okay! Sorry I said anything. [hello?????] ...what's wrong with the umbrella?
no subject
It eats dead wizards.
no subject
Excuse me?
no subject
[ YES HE GOT THAT THE FIRST TIME, LUP ]
no subject
[AHHHHH BURN IT!!!!!!!]
no subject
[ wheezes ] Also, I made it. It's technically mine.
no subject
Now you've really lost me. Why do you have an umbrella zombie? Why would you make that?

...you don't think it still works, do you?
no subject
[ she says, voice cracking just a little in the middle there. ]
no subject
[which is part of why he asked if it still worked.]
no subject
[ ... ] If you want to ask questions you can. [ no promises that she'll actually answer them, but she'll hear them. ]
no subject
So...how exactly is it supposed to work? You said you made it, right?
no subject
We were on a world where we all were instructed on how to make magical artifacts, basically. [ we, she says. static. ]
no subject
You take what's inside and leave the rest behind. [...like heartless and nobodies, he thinks.] So everybody made something like that?
no subject
[ shift. ]

I can't remember.
