[While she's out the next day! Doing some "shopping," which means hunting to get some more raw meat to keep in his basement.]

You make any progress on learning people's names yet?

Comments

[a_wrong_turn]

Yeah...

Uh, is that hard for you?

[taking_names]

Well, no, I mean it's like...

It felt as if I woke up one day and my life turned out to be a lie that fell apart more and more as time passed. And that was really difficult to live with.

But that isn't what happened. That day was when I started existing, not when I lost who I was.

So that changes a lot of things.

[a_wrong_turn]

Oh, oh, I get you!

So now it's like you get a chance to do everything for the first time, instead of everything sucking?

[She's not the most, uh, deep.]

[taking_names]

Exactly!

[c-close enough]

It's sort of like a new start instead of a humiliating ending.

[a_wrong_turn]

That's a good way to think of it!

[And he's not gonna keep looking for revenge. Even better. She assumes so, anyways.]

What else do you wanna do with your new lease on life?

[taking_names]

I don't know, it's kind of scary.

What would you do with one?

[a_wrong_turn]

Have some fun, first. You've gone through a lot.

[taking_names]

I do kind of want to enjoy it.

But what about the lifetime of research I'll need to become immortal?

[a_wrong_turn]

If you only research, you'll just get frustrated and fuck up because it's all work. Doing some fun stuff will help you relax and do your research better.

We also have to pay the bills, remember?

[taking_names]

I figured I would go on making potions...

Although that's sort of time consuming in itself...

Oh, Girl Who Likes to Throw Things in My Hair, becoming immortal is going to be tough!

[a_wrong_turn]

It's kinda that legendary crazy thing, so... it's supposed to be tough.

Do you wanna come along when I become a rogue? Maybe we could go do something after I do it. Or whatever.

[taking_names]

Okay. Is there a trial you'll have to do? Like a lying trial?

[a_wrong_turn]

I dunno! Maybe?

I'll kick its ass, whatever it is!

[taking_names]

I don't doubt that!

[unless it requires subtlety]

[a_wrong_turn]

I hope it's not gonna be lying. I'm a kinda shitty liar.

[taking_names]

I'm good at lying sometimes, if you want help.

[a_wrong_turn]

You don't say.

Okay. Let's play a game. It's called two truths and a lie.

Tell me two true things and a lie. I have to guess which the lie is.

[taking_names]

What like right now

[a_wrong_turn]

No, next Tuesday. Yeah, right now!

[taking_names]

It's hard because I just voluntarily invalidated my reality.

...could you give me like a topic

[a_wrong_turn]

Do you want me to go first?

[taking_names]

...maybe.

[a_wrong_turn]

Okay... One of these is a lie.

[Uuuuh hm this is kind of hard.]

I like your new haircut better than the old one.

I think your player is kinda funny.

I was jealous when I first found out you lived with Iravati.

[taking_names]

The first one.

You mourned!

[a_wrong_turn]

See? I'm bad at lying.
