So, as it turns out, you probably really, really shouldn't be lookin' for our local angry dead elf guy.

Not that I was lookin', but he's out there and not doin' too great.

Anyway. Point is, if you need a drink, I'm feelin' generous enough to buy. Swing by, if you're feelin' it.



Oh yeah, Pete. Got your horse. Come get it, whenever.

[aspearation]

Don't tell me you found out the hard way.

[fateality]

Little bit. Could'a gone worse, I reckon.

Hopefully you didn't?

[aspearation]

No, I already know better!

Uuugh, did you get hurt? Do we need to find a healer??

[fateality]

I took care of the superficial stuff. I don't think that there are any healers that can put my magic back.

[fateality]

...Wait, you dealt with him like this before?

[aspearation]

Not... personally. But look, he's a friend, okay! When he says to leave him alone, I know he really means it.

[ Which is hard for her to say. It's not natural to leave a friend alone when they're in need, but his needs are... different. ]

( Peter manage to not get involved with said angry dead elf guy, but that doesn't mean he doesn't feel a little guilty to hear he's managed to burn a hole through half of the team. some superhero he is, that he's managed to miss all of it... )

You okay, man?

( he'll get to the horse business in a minute. )

audio; un: cardmaster

[fateality]

Yeah, I'm in one piece.

...He did drain my magic. Hoping it's not permanent.

[webdesigned]

( y i k e s, there's that magic word. Peter is not an enthusiastic fan of the m-word, but he'll skate around it for the sake of conversation. )

I wish I knew how to help with that. I really do. I hear from around the block this has happened before, so maybe someone else could tell you if it'll come back.

[fateality]

Yeah, probably.

[More than he can really said, it completely discomforts him. The injuries less so, but having his magic stolen is a first.

And it was alarmingly painful. Personal.]

Anyway, don't worry about it. You want your horse?

[webdesigned]

( he's a man of science. magic doesn't really have any concept to him, and if he's forced to really think about it, it's just some scientific process or adaptation that hasn't been given the chance to be explained.

he can't help with the idea of an undead elf sucking out magical powers, he just can't. as much as he'd like to.

he can see a subject change when one is tossed in his direction, though, so he'll take it and not push too hard in the other direction. )

Yeah, I do. Was it hard to get?

ARE YOU HURT???

1/2

[fateality]

Holy--

[fateality]

A li'l banged up, and my magic's gone. But I'm all right otherwise.

Sorry, Papyrus. Wasn't aiming to make you worry.

[boneafide]

Your magic?! It's gone?? I- could give you some of mine, I think-

[fateality]

Absolutely not.

...Look, it's fine. It can't be gone forever. Right?

[boneafide]

I shouldn't have asked you to come visit me.

Just let me give you a little bit!! I don't know how magic humans work, but you can probably just use some of it!!

[racking]

What happened?

audio; un: cardmaster

[fateality]

Ran into Koltira. He wasn't exactly his usual charming, brooding self.

[racking]

I saw his message. It sounded like he was in pain.

[ tho shiro had been assured that anyone who actually found koltira would also be in pain, so. that all checks out. ]

Are you injured?

[fateality]

...I don't doubt that he is. He's kinda always in pain, from what I understand.

Not as bad as I could'a been. He got cognitive long enough that I got away. He's not lost, not completely.

[scarredhorns]

Could I ask for his name, Twisted Fate-san?

[It's quite a mouthful, but she persists with the honorifics anyway. Still, she sounds rather sleepy.]

When we first arrived on the train he saved me and a Qorral family, but I never got the chance to ask him myself.

[A beat before she adds:] And don't worry, I heard you, so I won't go looking for him. I was told to not move around too much anyway.

[fateality]

Just T.F. is okay too, you know.

His name's Koltira. ...Saved you, did he? [sounds like the honorable elf.]

You all right? You sound off, Nyuu.

[scarredhorns]

Well... [She's hesitant to answer, but it isn't long before she sighs in surrender.]

To be honest, I don't know what happened these past few days. I remember going to the fracking fields after the earthquake, and trying to get one injured worker to safety, but then everything blacks out after that. When I came to, Saitama-san was trying to wake me up, but I wasn't in the same place as before nor was it was the same day. He found me around the farmlands on the outskirts of town and I was badly injured.

I'm better now, though. [She quickly adds.] Just tired and sore. [And confused.]

[fateality]

[That's odd. He hasn't heard of anyone going through something like that. And she was hurt, to boot.]

You go through these blackouts before?
