You better be quick and beat him to it.

[ablazement]

Clever. [snort.] I've got to know what to tell, first. Nobody wants to hear my whole sad backstory in one go.

[tactic]

Why don't we start with how you've come to know Gale and Astarion?

[ He's just curious because he's found that not a lot of people in this place arrived with people they've pre-known. He cannot relate. ]

[ablazement]

I met Gale when he was stuck in a rock. I met Astarion when he tried to stab me with a knife. All in the same day, mind.

[this is such a great impression of them you're giving]

[tactic]

... I can't explain it, but none of this is surprising.

[ YOU ARE ALL CHAOS INCARNATE ]

[ablazement]

[HELP baldur's gate is a game]

I met my other two friends on a tentacle ship, the other one tried to kill me because he was hunting me on contract, and the last one was a bear. We're a collection.

[tactic]

Huh. I'm sensing a theme in these meetings.

[ Why are people trying to kill you, Karlach, you're so chill. ]

[ablazement]

[mostly because her life sucks but also because she's seven feet tall and red with horns]

Laying it all out like that really makes it seem worse than it is! [she grins.] Did you know anybody here already?

[tactic]

[ Our big casts... ]

Three others. Though I don't think we're as close as you and your friends.

[ablazement]

Oh, really? Who? [that's so many!!!]

[tactic]

[ Counts off of his fingers like there's so many of them, PLEASE AVENTURINE IT'S THREE. ]

Miss Robin, that Ranger named Boothill, and Caelus.

[ablazement]

[she likes all three of them and it's clear by the look on her face. she is not a terribly difficult person to read.]

Hey-hey, good people. [uwu] But you said you're not as close with them? So what, they're just like, your neighbors?

[tactic]

Well... I guess you could say I've caused some trouble for Caelus in the past. As for Miss Robin, she's a celebrity so it's not as if anyone can become close to her.

[ And then... Boothill. ]

As for the Ranger, I don't think he wants to know me at all.

[ablazement]

... I do want to hear her sing.

[she says that a little quietly because it's not important just this second, but. a beat.]

Bad blood? [karlach just barely avoids being like what did you do]

[tactic]

[ Why is it immediately his fault?? ]

I think he's from the future. I don't know what happened between us.

[ablazement]

[chaos understands chaos]

Oof. That's fucked. [folds her arms.] And you're not like, close enough to talk it out? I suppose you don't even want to if you don't know the guy.

[tactic]

I thought my winning personality would eventually get to him.

[ablazement]

Well. I like your winning personality, so hopefully he will?

[tactic]

Why, thank you! I have to say, you're one of the more fun people here.

[ablazement]

[she laughs.]

Hey, thanks. I like to think so. Fun Mama K, that's me.

I think the only not-fun people are the culty lot, but even they grew on me.

[tactic]

Oh? I'll have to bother them more since it's you saying that.

[ TO FIND OUT ]

[ablazement]

You should! Make 'em like you. It'll help.

[tactic]

Shouldn't be too hard.

[ Okay, Aventurine... But he smiles up at Karlach. ]

It was fun getting to chat. We should do this again soon.

[ablazement]

[her tail wags a little.]

Yeah, definitely. Come find me whenever. Not like I've got shit to do.

[tactic]

Story of our brand new lives.

[ Gives a little wave and then he's off! ]
