[HELLO SWEET ASH

He is swamped!! He's cleaned up and back in his normal clothes, with his exorcist coat buttoned up. There's light burn scarring on his face, plus his left ear is missing, but he's not bleeding out on the floor, unfortunately. I TRIED. TCH.

She can find him hanging out by the pyre before curfew!! His golem is just hanging out with him, staring at him with its big ol' eye as he frowns down at his foot.]

[killies]

[ I SEE... well she comes and just sits down next to him. ]

How are you feeling?

[sixillusions]

[Looks at her

Looks back at his foot

Looks confused

It wasn't cut off. Where is it?]

[killies]

[ she also looks? at his foot?

???? ]

[sixillusions]

[



Reaches down to press on his foot... frowns...

Where did it go?]

[killies]

[ HE HAS A FOOT, RIGHT? ]

... What's wrong?

[sixillusions]

[Well, he has a shoe on.]

...Do you see something there?

[killies]

[ ON?????? WHAT????????? A FOOT? ]

Uh. Your... foot?

[sixillusions]

[HOW CAN SHE TELL...



No I'm kidding his foot is fine

So it is there. Weird.]

[killies]

Can you not perceive your own foot right now?

[sixillusions]

[Stares at it... looks back at her... shakes his head slowly]

[killies]

... That's crazy. It's right there.

[sixillusions]

...

[Is this better or worse than last time... HE CAN'T DECIDE]

[killies]

[ reaches out like she's going to poke his foot through his shoe. but stops and looks at him first to make sure it's okay? ]

[sixillusions]

[Nods at her]

[killies]

[ pokes his foot...? ]

[sixillusions]

[Continues to stare at it blankly...

...

...

...

...

After a minute:]

--Oh. It's back.

[So it really didn't disappear.]

[killies]

Oh, good. It's back.

[ IT WAS NEVER GONE ]

[sixillusions]

[THIS ICON IS KILLING ME

He sighs.]

Two days, right? [He thinks that's roughly how long it took last time, for the swamp, but he doesn't know about CYOA effects.]

[killies]

Yeah. For now, just deal with it.

[ ... ]

So what happened?

[sixillusions]

Demons had a tournament.

[killies]

Sounds... violent?

[sixillusions]

Yeah.

[He'll spare her the gory details unless she desperately wants them, mostly because he doesn't think they're relevant.]

They made us fight people we knew.

[killies]

That happened to some of us on our trip. People we knew, and ourselves.

[sixillusions]

[A slight nod, with a grim look on his face.]

It sounds like that's common. [Seeing loved ones, anyway; that, and a hell of a lot of violence. ]
