And you shouldn't feel forced to, even if our lives weren't tied together. Maybe more so, now, if that effect would last even after we leave this place.
[ as iwatooshi speaks, the letters of ink settle again to form a single word: nonexistence. ]
...There may not be a good answer for what to do, Laudna-dono. Maybe it will become clearer over time, but for now, perhaps we should focus on something... less uncertain. Finding the path to all of us getting home safely is just as important as finding who we can trust with all that we are.

[ "as far as i can tell." that might not sit well with him, not quite, but iwatooshi decides not to think about it for now. ]
I agree. Being brought here for this purpose against our will... It isn't right, and it's struck fear in many of our hearts. I would like to protect them, until we can find our way home.
...However, I do feel a bit out of my depth. I have my naginata, but I'm not made to fight against magic.

[well, listen. you never know for sure with people.]
A strong arm, steadiness, and a weapon are really all you need to fight against magic. They're very powerful. They've blocked all of the things I can do. But I suspect we'll find a way to break their hold on us eventually.

[ she's so right. unfortunately some of us would rather plug our ears to that and pretend the possibility isn't there until it smacks us in the face.
but he is listening, and seems to give this some deep consideration. ]
I see. I've never faced an opponent who wields magic, but I trust your expertise. [ a soft sigh, but he smiles. ] It does sound like a fun challenge, facing someone with magic instead of steel.

[welcome to the void.
anyway, laudna can be found in the midst of trying to pop a dislocated joint out of place on her arm.]
Iwatooshi-dono, would you be able to give me a tiny bit of assistance? There's a dead body in the theater, you see, and it would be quite difficult for me to lift.

...So that is how you died.
[ he feels like most humans would be more resentful, but laudna is quite unique. it's one of the many things he likes about her. still, iwatooshi has to wonder what could have happened that they'd just leave her there, but asking feels disrespectful, even with her cavalier attitude.
and he's cautious about heading up to the stage, big as he is, but he did say he'd help. ]
Then we will have to find something more suitable for Aventurine-dono. [ hmmm. ] If the mortuary weren't being used as a living space, I'd suggest one of the coffins there.

Is a cleric a sort of sage? Gale-dono suggested my master may be one, earlier this week, but I've never heard of them bringing the dead back to life, only giving life to spirits like me.
[ very different situation. but he follows along, brow furrowing. ]
He's not? Has someone already retrieved his body, then?
