[she's looping back to the pyre, though she stops short upon seeing the fact it's fucking blue now? ignore that she is so full of smoke and has to stop to cough and try to clear her throat, but she immediately approaches alfyn.]
...how do you think this happened if we couldn't even leave last night?
[ the coughing and clearing of her throat, and the smell of smoke - not from the blue fire, which, uh, he looks at with trepidation but familiarity at the same time - gives him pause in his tension, and he goes from carrying his axe with him in hand to snapping it into the loop on the back of his belt. it's so he can free up his hands and rummage in his satchel.
from a makeshift cult robe pouch, he produces a few almost spade-shaped, pale green leaves and offers them to her on full autopilot. ] Licorice. Chew on 'em to help your throat.
[ anyways, the question. ]
... no idea. Nobody I've talked to has said that they were able to go anywhere, so I dunno what that means for the two of them. 'specially not with Death.
[oh. she will just take the leaves and she's busy holding them for a moment like she's not sure what to do about that.]
It's Death that I really don't understand. I didn't see any of those four before we were trapped last night, so how did they become involved? You don't think this is punishment for them trying to help us, do you?
[ this is fine, alfyn doesn't even seem to realize he's done this it's so ingrained in him. ]
Yeah. Nobody I've talked to has known where Death started, but it sounds like Aventurine was at the cabin with some other folk. Then he wound up at the theater.
Bein' punishment... wouldn't surprise me, unfortunately. I hope not. 'cause that means that what they did to hide us meetin' 'em didn't really work, or somebody figured 'em out.
But those two places are all the way on opposite ends of town. [like. how the fuck did he get there??]
I hope not either, but it's either that or...maybe someone else was involved. We still don't know how everyone's powers work, do we? What if what happened last night was because someone made it that way?
Yeah, he made a real trek across the village if that's the way it went.
[ BOOTHILL, EXPLAIN? ]
... somethin' like mind control, or influence came over 'em? I dunno about anybody else's, but we've had stuff that've made people fall in love for a little while, right?
Yeah. Bodyswaps, falsified feelings, and...changing hair colors. It all sounds so harmless, but those are the easiest ones to test. It doesn't mean all of our powers are just as harmless.
