Then someone's framing you? It looks like they're in the biggest coffin we have.
[ LOOKS UP AT HER and whistles ]
I haven't looked up at someone in years.
[ you have only walked the earth for eighteen years ]

I watched that redhead kid dump them right in there, so yeah, I'm being framed.
[she looks... down at him... baby. child boy.]
You're pretty tall for a human.
[she looks... down at him... baby. child boy.]
You're pretty tall for a human.
I know that guy! He pushed me into the stream and gave me leeches!
[ Karma did not give them to you personally, but that's fine. He is a head or so smaller than her... And he is also a child. ]
You're... Average height for what you are?
[ IS THAT RIGHT? ]

[WHY IS HE JUST MENACING PEOPLE WITH LEECHES]
I'm tall for a tiefling, which is what I am. [she's amused.] We come in all sizes. Like humans. Shorty.

... Is this how short people feel?
I wouldn't know, I've never been one.
[laughing!!]
You gonna survive?
[laughing!!]
You gonna survive?
I think I'll survive being short better than sleeping in a coffin full of leeches.
[ Just saying. ]
[ Just saying. ]
Leeches are temporary, short is forever.
More seriously though, I'm Karlach. Not sure we've met properly.

At this rate, leeches might be forever unless we clean up the stream.
[ The leeches haunt the lands.... Their beds...... Their homes....... ]
Karlach! I saw your poster on the board—I'm Gojo Satoru, high school student with a cellphone and not an additional heart.

[offers a hand to shake? if he takes it, he'll find she is VERY warm. like feverishly so.]
I'd be concerned if you had an extra one of those. What's a cellphone?

[ A handshake... He has seen this on American TV, so he takes it and shakes!
Warm. Noted. ]
This. [ He pulls out his flip phone. ] It's a communication device, but has a couple of other features.

Never mind.
[ SHE DOES NOT KNOW. He will turn on his phone for her and she will unfortunately have to see that he has Waka Inoue as his lock screen, but a photo of himself, Suguru, and a girl their age with short brown hair and a beauty mark on the home screen. ]
It kind of is a mini computer—ever heard of a camera?

Sometimes it's its own device, but phones have them as a feature. They capture a moment in time and preserves it.
[ FRIENDS! But now camera app. ]
Wanna see?
[ FRIENDS! But now camera app. ]
Wanna see?
Holy shit. Like an instant portrait.
[neat!! her tail wags lightly. there's an excitement to her about this, something earnest - capture a moment in time and preserve it? that sounds... well.]
Yeah! Lemme see.

[ Hmm... He will extend his arm and swap to the front-facing camera. It is not super high-tech because Satoru is a millennial and currently eighteen.
Karlach can see herself and him on the preview! ]

[she does not know the difference between high tech and low tech, so she's thrilled.]
Wow. [wiggles.] I wonder if this is a thing we can do in Faerun. This is excellent.

[ Takes a picture and it makes a shutter sound. There we go! Photo taken.

[oooooo she loves it, she's so delighted.]
Aw, I wish I could keep it somehow! [...] Magic might work? Like a Mirror Image but tweaked.

If we got a polaroid camera... Probably could ask for one from the goats, but it'd be better to ask them for something useful.
[ Mirror image catches his attention though. WE LOVE POWER. ]
Is that like how it sounds?
