Logically, I should not be worried too much, but the effect works its ways. It feels like I'm constantly being hunted.
[ And there's a string of thoughts about the layout of the mortuary, the distance between the exits and entrances, the weight of the coffins and the amount of strength needed per kilogram of wood versus his own muscle mass and output multiplied by adrenaline. It goes as far as distance to other locations, slowly tapering into being stifled with a rapid shake of his head.
He'll show her how to play though!! At least the animal crossing is simple. ]
I'm used to it, but it doesn't mean I like it being forced on me. [ ... ] It still was worth checking up on Karlach and seeing her as herself.
If you try to leave the execution site, you get hit with a punishing effect that's a fit of paranoia. It's supposed to scare you to stay and watch I think. That one.
[ She catches bugs! The animal villagers around applaud! ]
It seems annoying to have to deal with all of that... Has the headgear helped?
[ ... ]
I guess it doesn't matter that I ask. Even with the correspondence, it doesn't change that people are affected by all of this. Lavi's basically haunted by Kanda, then the rest...

[ yay... she tries catching some bugs.
What effect...? ]

Are you doing okay?
no subject
[ I'm a little relieved if it's just a curse... ]
I'm not sure I'd call it "okay"...
I suppose I'm not falling apart at the moment, which will have to be good enough.
no subject
[ Hmm... ]
With how sooty your hoodie was, I'm worried maybe you're verging collapse!

[ I guess we're all haunted. ]
no subject
... It helps keep it from dirtying everything...
[ but he goes on, and little wisps of smoke seep out from the edges of the hood. ]
Haunted...
Yes, that may be right.
no subject
[ Violently. In between, he'll teach her to decorate a house in the game. ]
You can take the hood off here, if you want. It's a creepy basement and we're planning to clean up later, anyway.
no subject
That's all right. I'm comfortable like this.
Has it just been you and Geto in this creepy basement all this time?
[ truly no idea how you mortuary people live. ]
no subject
He pats her head, safe from the sooting maybe. ]
We don't really sleep here if new locations have better lodging, but yeah. This basement is for us and everyone else's coffins are upstairs.
[ I don't think they sleep in those, either. THEY REALLY DON'T SLEEP HERE IS SO FUNNY... ]
Everything's kind of free rein.

I see. Astarion said something similar. I'd wondered if the coffins were used at all.
no subject
[ ?? Usually, he'd be able to grab it, but he's like when did Kate get good at avoiding that. ]
... Is... Your head okay?
no subject
[ Oh, no. ]
... It's getting late. I should return home. Thank you for showing me the game.
no subject
... I'm not the greatest, but you can talk to me. Whenever you want.
[ But I'm not going to force you. ]
Come by whenever you wanna play.

... she hesitates.
but then she bows and excuses herself goodbye. ]
