Not you specifically, but I don't feel like he's safe for anyone. He seems quite hazardous in his own way, and as you aid. He seems like the sort to do it for his own fun.

I suspect he needs several someones. Just be careful.

[imaglyphwitch]

Yeah. I could tell I was dipping my toes in something bigger than I'd ever faced, and I saw the Emperor and faced him. Bill was...unnerving.

I will. I still have a lot to learn, about lots of stuff. I'm not going to do that if I wildly try to fight something too big for me.

[onerthes]

The ability to carefully choose your battles when you're able to do so? It's a potent skill to keep in your back pocket. It can help make sure that you never get in over you head.

But for no, we can let sleeping pyramids lie, until he rears his ugly head again.

[imaglyphwitch]

I've actually had a history of being kinda bad in that area. I'm starting to get better though! Now I just think of Eda and Margot and all of you guys, so I try to make sure I don't really endanger myself. I can't make it out safely all the time.

And then we bash his head! Or something like that.

[onerthes]

I'm not great either. Little overconfident at times, though I've gotten better with time in this place. I'm definitely glad to hear it.

It's kind of pointy. Use a hammer.

[imaglyphwitch]

I did hear someone mention to me once that you have horrible luck when it comes to dying. So if you've gotten better, good! I mean, for your well being.

I kind of want his top hat though.

If I were being brutally honest? They don't know the half of it at this point. But they're not wrong, and I really wish they were. The reason my head does not re-attach was because of the sixth death. You get trapped in the state of your actual death after that one. If you ever saw a very silly film called "Beetlejuice" it's like that.

This town is pretty awful for that sort of thing, as you can guess.

HAH. It IS cute isn't it?

[imaglyphwitch]

I had guessed that.

I'm sorry. I mean, I know I had nothing to do with that and I'm new here and everything, but you've been here a long time and done all of this over and over. I can't imagine the kind of stuff you've seen. But you still are out there helping us try to make this place better, even if you're bearing the scars of being here.

I really admire you. I hope I have the courage that you have, by the time all of this is over.

Yes, very much with him not accompanying it.

[onerthes]

Thank you, Luz. For as badly as I've screwed up at times, it's nice to hear anyone say that. I'll do whatever I can not to fail you the closer we get.

And if I can help you avoid suffering the same? Well, that's a small victory I'd love to win.

[imaglyphwitch]

Likewise. I may not be able to do much now, but I'll do what I can with the best of my ability.

Yes, less dying for me please!

[onerthes]

For all of us preferably. But for now, I will chat with you later, ok Luz?

*coughfamouslastwordscough*

[imaglyphwitch]

Yeah, ok. Take care Vira. I hope to talk to you soon!
