[This one hurt. And in spite of how wretched the ambience is, Camille still hauls her ass to the damn church after, eyes closed and holding back tears in the pews.]
They're just babies. [She sounds like the women of Wind Gap. But god, it's true isn't it?] Why the hell would they send Asa in there with just a fucking shovel?
[ he'll come sit down nearby, hands in his lap and twiddling his thumbs together. ]
It is cruel. But I expect the cruelty is the point. Emotion is a powerful thing - for spells, rituals, summonings and such. They are calling to something, and I fear what it is that will hear it.
[It's all so very hookum-spookum. Even as a kid she veered to reality, fairy tales and speculative fiction were on the back burner from the get go. It makes her exhausted to weigh them with any degree of credibility now. Paints her as a fool, inept and under-educated, doggy-paddling in an ocean miles behind the boat that left her.]
I doubt we're summoning the god of Rainbows and Good Fucks, considering the methods being used. [No shit sherlock.] I don't know, Gale. It seems like every move we make just plays into their hands. We need to start finding ways to push solutions outside of their parameters.
[ help help help i barked. elbowed and he goes "oof" because of his 4 hp.]
You have been watching too much of that television.
[ he knows what a tv is now. kanda made him watch big bang theory so he's seen a tv show. ]
Not exactly, since that is in theory temporary. I meant more that I am in desperate need of their offered wish, and thus am obliged to consider staying within their rules, lest I lose the chance.
[Redeeming yourself is tough shit. Most people scrabble at the walls and slide back down on their asses. She's making the climb herself.]
Well, there's a price to pay for ignorance too. In a place like this I'd rather know more than less. [She turns more fully in her seat, looking him in the eye.] I've been made a "Changeling."
Sorry we're not soulmates. [In a sense.] I've heard of a Mothman, if that helps. Shadowy winged figure with glowing red eyes, appears at night. May or may not be involved with a prophecy, I'm not sure.
I honestly feel that my match does not wish to be found.
[ anyway this description is wild? help????? THE FUCKIN MOTHMAN. ]
I can induce dread and paranoia for 24 hours. A power I have not sought to use, mind you, considering the atmosphere. I don't think adding paranoia to the mix will aide anyone.
[when you ask for mod hints and they say they'll "get back to you"]
...No, I don't imagine it would. [Unless you were a murderer. Could be useful to induce panic in a particularly nosy individual come trial time.] Mine is to make someone believe they're another person. Not body swap. Just a personality flip, one target only.

Who says the god of Rainbows can't be an evil god? It'd certainly be a nefarious way to earn followers ...
[ he hums, leaning back, hands twiddling more. ]
I agree, but. I find myself rather trapped within their parameters. They quite have my number, you see.
no subject
Camille smiles too, shaking her head and nudging him with her elbow.]
That pot of gold at the end has always sounded suspicious.
[That is curious though.]
You mean with how they snatched your Weave?

What else is a girl supposed to do around here?
[She made Astarion watch Jurassic Park, very educational.
Anyway Camille tilts her head at that. He's rather cavalier, openly admitting to a need to play the game.]
Well don't leave me guessing, Gale. What's the wish for?
no subject
... I need to return to life. I made an error in judgment, and-- I believe in a more practiced frame of mind, I would have made a different choice.
no subject
[That's the only tender spot he'd shared with her, and it's a mighty sore one at that.]
...Well if you're looking for a monster match, I don't mind. I'm curious about the effects myself.
[What she'd do with a wish, she doesn't know.]
no subject
[ breakups are hard, man. well, he'll look over at the mention of the match - trying not to look too excited at the prospect. ]
Only if you are certain Camille. It's not a thing to be done lightly. Believe me, I've paid the price for curiosity before.

Unfortunately, I am something known as a "Mothman." Whatever in the world that is.
no subject

[She never watched the movie :c]
