[ help. ]

By that stupid djinn at the stupid carnival thing? [ He absolutely bloody cheated. ] Yes. Did you call him a cheating bastard too?

[ablazement]

Yeah! That's the one! [i like that this is just like the worm is happening again karlach doesn't even notice she's hearing his thoughts because she's so used to it]

I nearly tried to rip his spine out his arse because -- well, he hasn't got one, but you get my point - because he kept making me lose money.

[haematocritical]

[ all of them like oh thank god we can hear each other's thoughts again-- wait. ]

Oh, I'm convinced he was doing something. It wasn't sleight of hand, I'd have noticed. Maybe a magical trick?

[ablazement]

Shadowheart said to me later he had a ring on that had magic on it. Bet it was that.

[grumbles.]

[haematocritical]

...



I bet it was. [ wait. ] If she knew why didn't she say something?? I could've pinched it.

[ablazement]

Probably because she thought it was funny that you turned into a wheel of cheese.

[haematocritical]

Tell you what! She can turn into the wheel of cheese next time, and I'll be sure to sell her for the best market value I can find.

[ablazement]

[HELP]

Awww, come on! You're not cheese now.

[pulls him to some of the carnival booths]

[haematocritical]

Trauma, Karlach.

[ oof. ]

[ablazement]

Stop that. [pokes him with her tail.]

What d'you want to try first? [look at all these chickens]

[haematocritical]

[ gazes. ]

... Anything with throwing? It's been a while since I've done anything long range.

[ablazement]

Bet you'd smoke the hells out of that, yeah. Uhh...

[looks for a throwing booth... finds one! it's like a throw the little beanbag sacks at things type game.]

Win me a prize, fangs.

[haematocritical]

[ i forgot dice maiden hates my guts. he'll try a warm up throw and.... kinda? doesn't fail? like he doesn't break anything, which is a good start ]

Ugh. I can't be that rusty already, can I?

[ablazement]

[becks your 8]

To be fair to you, you haven't exactly had the chance. [she picks up one, tossing it up and down - and then throws it! i rolled an 18 so it smacks the target, to which karlach pauses and goes:]

... Oh. Lucky shot.

[haematocritical]

[ dice maiden hates me!!! ]

Maybe I should be asking you to win me something.

[ablazement]

I can do that. [a little grin.] What d'you want? A bear to match Clive?

[haematocritical]

If you want to get your bear a boyfriend, I’m sure you don’t need me as an excuse, darling.

[ 🥺 omg… bear boyfriends… ]

[ablazement]

[BEAR BOYFRIENDS...]

Yeah, but you have to name him! I'm decreeing it.

[haematocritical]

Oh, you might come to regret that.

[ablazement]

[bet]

Oh yeah?

[haematocritical]

Indeed.

[ he’s going to think of the most pretentious name he can think of. for sweet clive’s boyfriend. ]

[ablazement]

Well, come on then, hit me with your best shot while I work on this.

[she could just steal it but this is more fun]

[haematocritical]

[ said totally deadpan as she lines up for another shot. ]

Big Daddy Bear.

[ stop. ]

[ablazement]

[throws it - and then snortlaughs]

You might as well just call it Halsin.

[haematocritical]

He is rather broad, isn’t he?

[ hmm. ] Although if you name the bear Halsin, you’ll have to explain the joke to him. He’d probably be flattered or amused though.
