Week 5, Monday

[sootprints]

[ out at the new area! fit check. kate's at the tea garden, sitting and sipping on some tea. vibes are... a dark pit of misery and anxiety! but right now, she is also enjoying the nice tea and atmosphere.

she glances up when she sees laudna nearby. ]

... Oh, Laudna. I have news.

[undread]

[adorable! the outfit, not the misery and anxiety. but she'll come sit with her.

laudna's emotions are a slightly unpleasant mix of cheerfulness and intense fear.]

Do you? Do tell.

[sootprints]

I've finally matched with my partner.

[undread]

Really! That's wonderful to hear. So they wound up being someone trustworthy after all?

[sootprints]

... Yes. Very much so.

[ there are some complicated feelings at that. a mixture of warmth and sadness. ]

Thanks to that, I now have a new power. I can remove a curse from someone once a week.

[undread]

[sadness...]

That's very useful. Um - most of the curses we've done were silly, but I think Rondo used his last week. I think he cursed Karlach to hate Robin.

[...]

I didn't know if it was meant to point at Karlach or Robin, so I didn't say anything publicly. I just told Gale.

[sootprints]

Rondo did? But he...

[ she thinks, and there's a sort of uncomfortable feeling that bubbles up. ]

... I wonder.

[undread]

Well. I thought so. Because she was cursed...

[she's not sure, though. curious at the discomfort.]

What do you think?

[sootprints]

I think Rondo had a different power... but I think I can see why it would look like that.

Some of our powers really can have terrible consequences, I think.

[undread]

Yes, I suppose so.

[...]

Is everything alright?

[sootprints]

... I just... thought about what Karlach might have gone through, and I think it was very sad.

[undread]

The curse? Or becoming a monster, do you mean?

[either way it's quite sad. but kate is also being very cagey right now.]
