[hello we are just hanging around the pyre! she's currently trying to figure out where the words are on her body, looking over her shoulder and under her arms and on the heel of her foot... it's on her back, in big white letters: AVERNUS. with an obscenely huge number under that.
[ he approaches slowly, watching with curiosity before it hits him. ]
Ah! You're looking for these?
[ holds up his free hand to show the tattoo across his forearm! the black ink could almost be part of his glove, but it reads failing to protect master. ]
It's on your back now, but it seems like they move, from time to time.
[ he's out by the ranch in a light, purple kimono, the sleeves tied back and out of the way. he seems to have already collected a basket of crops and fruits and is currently kneeling near the sheltie! ]
Karlach-dono! I was just about to offer Dani-dono here a treat, would you like to help?
[ he's just gonna like
tear the apple into two halves with only his (gloved) hands. as you do. ]
[at some point, karlach snuck away from everything to go curl up somewhere quiet. she's kind of just staring off into the distance, eyes half-closed, expression tight. lips pursed.
her tail flicks in agitation, and after a second - she slams her fist against the wall she's leaning against and hisses:]
Shut up, Wyll, don't talk to me like that. They care. Shut up.
[ iwa's just wandering, lost in thought and listening to his own friends mocking him, but this - karlach - is more important than all of that. he turns to face her, moving slowly not to startle, and offers her a smile. ]
We'd be hard-pressed to find someone to find someone who doesn't care about you, Karlach-dono.
[ me too girl. iwa comes to sit on the ground nearby, just close enough to hold hands if either of them needs a teensy bit of comfort, naginata set down on his other side. ]
We've only known each other for a few weeks, but each loss still hurts as if we've known each other for years already.
[she's just staring, but she slowly looks over at him when he sits. she is okay with holding hands if he wants, honestly. sorry if it's her gross one.]
Nature of this place. You bond fast to people that are trapped just like you.
[ well, normally he would be! but this... it reminds him, violently, of what it was like to be summoned for the first time, and yet it's nothing like he's ever really experienced. by the time they come to, his free hand clutches at his chest as he takes an involuntary step back. ]
...Karlach-dono.
[ his voice is pained, not just from the lingering effects of the memory, but the horrible realization it brings. no living creature should be treated that way. it's one thing to wage a war, to fight and collect weapons for entertainment, but to treat someone like this? ]
[hello we are WANDERING. this place is so fucking huge. karlach is looking at all the various places, with keychains that she's just attached to her belt - gojo, vin, mathis, kate, gale, and astarion are all settled there, for now.
she's in the new bar right this instant, peeking around. she was told there's booze and food here but she got... lost...]
[ how cute with the keychains. his own seem to be tucked away for now, and he approaches the bar with the caution, naginata in hand... but there's a vague sense of relief when he peers in, for some reason.
but anyway! that blooms into joy when he sees her, so iwatooshi offers a smile! ]
Karlach-dono! What do you think? It's much nicer than the old bar, isn't it? They even have instruments, though I'm not sure who here can play.
[help there are no bees with teeth or whatever in here hopefully......
she smiles at him when she feels that joy - it's hard not to.]
It is nice! It's loads better than whatever we had on the living side. Real booze and everything. This place is huge, you've all got so much to look at.
karlach can be found in elysium... she's poking around Eden, the tea garden, looking at the flowers and just absently picking them. sorting them, too. she's humming to herself, tapping her foot.]
[ tea garden!! god he's missed good tea so course he's making his way here at some point. but he hears the humming and pauses, trying to place the song...
...and lights up as soon as it hits him. ]
Ah! That's Robin-dono's song, isn't it? It was very beautiful.

Karlach-dono! [ tall friend! ] Have your found your things well?
no subject
Yeah! Got my clothes, see? [outfit! she does not talk about her item,] You've got yours too, looks like. Way better than the robes.
no subject
Yes! These robes are much more familiar, and it is a relief not being unarmed. And you look much more comfortable, yourself!
no subject
Man. [she makes a clicking sound with her tongue.] I'm so jealous, I want a weapon. But yeah! This is my usual. Waaay easier to move around in.
That blade's fucking sick, is it custom made?

Karlach-dono! I was just about to offer Dani-dono here a treat, would you like to help?
[ he's just gonna like
tear the apple into two halves with only his (gloved) hands. as you do. ]
no subject
she has a smile today! so she wanders over to him, and when he rips it in half she just laughs and whistles.]
Damn. [a beat.] Love to help. What can I do?
[her fingers are fucked up so she maybe cannot rip fruit in half but.]
no subject
Just be careful when you give it to her, and patient. If we move too fast, our size might scare her, but she's very friendly.

This... This is why you wanted to meet my master.
no subject
this has not, in the least, gotten any easier to experience. karlach is also pained, eyes closed, hand on her heart. it glows soft under her hand.]
... Yeah. [she says, finally.] Yeah, it is. I wanted to... see if there was a way to get this out of me without killing me. Hah.
