[lacing her fingers together, a little uncomfortable.]
To find a way back to life. Ultimately - she's been vague with me. A sort of god she wants to serve. But primarily, she wants vengeance. She sought to protect her husband and failed, and she wants to hurt the ones who caused it.
[she's silent for a long moment while she decides if she's going to answer.]
My friends encountered her once. They used a ritual to enter my dreams so they could kill her. The place they described sounds... something like that. Which is nonsensical.
... They clearly weren't in your dreams this time. You were awake on Thursday, right? [ using a ritual to get into someone's head here isn't that weird because cult rituals, but that still leaves the. into someone's head bit ]
Of course. I only mean that I have no idea how it was possible; how she accomplished this. She did manage to speak to me on Wednesday, for the first time since our arrival. [that was the tea, but she doesn't quite understand.] So maybe she has been drawing her power somewhere nearby.
They succeeded at what they meant to do, which was to reduce her influence to next to nothing. Killing her entirely wasn't...quite possible. But as I said, she is hard to keep away forever.
[can she take him? she's pretty frail. she acts like nothing frightens her and like she's some sort of invincible horror movie monster, but she's a very frail woman who is terrified lot of the time. just not by leeches and spooky atmosphere.
his words here do seem to make an impact. she nods rapidly, listening, but more than that she's just grateful he thinks so.]
She's not me. She's not. I'm me. I didn't want them to be hurt.
[it's okay. she appreciates it. sometimes you can just tell someone is reassuring you because they relate to your fucked up situation, and that alone is sort of nice.
oh yes she will put her hand on his hand gently. pat pat.]
She's very nasty, anyway, and I'm nice. I think I'd prefer if she didn't come back here.

... Then why would she target those guys? [ three randos and A DEAD DOG!!!! ] You think it's possible she made a deal with the cult?
no subject
[it makes no damn sense! a dog???? totty???? what.]
I don't even know how she would make a deal with them. She's never been able to communicate with anyone else.

[ hm. ]
It's not your fault.
no subject
I don't want them to blame me. Maybe they'll try to get vengeance.
no subject
[ maybe totty but she can take him. the next part comes after a little hesitance. maybe he's reading it wrong. but. ]
... She's linked to you, but she's not you. Makes no sense to blame you for what she tries to do.

I'd agree with that. Hopefully those guys managed to drive her away. But... tell me if you start hearing her again.
no subject
thats me siz she is grateful to him for being so nice, and also its just cool to know that somebody else has bad brain problems.]
I will. Thank you.
