[ they can go anywhere and do anything before it all goes to shit!! yeah!!!! maybe get an actual date in before the cult kick off. ]
So. I wonder what everyone'll use those rock things for.
So. I wonder what everyone'll use those rock things for.
So long as it does not end with me implanting another terrible cursed magical object within me, then I think I am doing better than my previous attempts!
[ he feels like astarion is more likely to forgive him before he gets to the insane wizard portion of this apology however. ]

I suppose I have my personal hopes, but as none of the rocks are really of my ownership, then I suppose that is up to all of you.
[ reaching over for his hand? take it. ]

Oh.
This reminds me.

Stop fucking with the Karsus texts.

Ow-- I'm not fu-- Fussing with them. It's academic study only at this point.
[ it would be a WASTE otherwise, but he's not trying to ascend to godhood anymore. ]
They're interesting. Besides, you keep reading that terrible cursed necromancy book.

I... actually have no idea if I have one or not. I know everyone from the people who arrived before I did seem to have one. I should probably check.
[ it's. kind of important.
he will take hand. they can hold hands sappily. ]
[ it's. kind of important.

I haven't been reading the terrible cursed necromancy book the entire time I've been here! [ because he doesn't have it ]
It'd better stay purely academic. No sudden changes of mind and aspirations to do something with it, even if it's not ascending to godhood.

You should definitely check.
[ astarion!!!!!!! ]
... But maybe later, because now I believe there are a few places perhaps we should go to before we run out of time?
[ there's a bookstore!!!!!!!! and also a hot springs i guess. ]

Because you don't have it.
[ taking one of astarion's hands again and putting it on his chest, right over where the mark used to be. there's still an outline there, like a faded scar, but none of the bruising or odd magical thrumming. ]
My greatest aspiration now is to see to your happiness. And also I suppose leaving this place alive. But that's a distant second.

Yes, yes. I will.
[ it's fiiiiine. ]
Oh. Plenty. Clothing and salon now apparently, too? Perhaps we should get new outfits for the potential end of days before we look at cats and books. [ he knows gale. ]

[ he nEEDS TO STOP DOING THIS ASTARION HAS A HEART THAT CAN HAVE A HEARTATTACK NOW. aaaaaa. he absently traces the outline of the mark as much as his fingers can with gale still gripping his hand. ]
...
I think the latter is rather important to the former, if you want to be picky. Can't really seek out the meaning of happiness if we're both permanently gone, can we?

If that is what you'd like to do, lead the way.
[ he likes clothes shopping, he is good with this date idea. ]

I suppose that's true enough!
[ i mean. it does sort of make the goal aligned anyway. ]

So there we have it. A plan of action.
[ don't die. be happy. smooches his neck. ]
[ don't die. be happy. smooches his neck. ]
I'm open to most suggestions, but a change of clothes is never a bad thing.
[ he left so many outfits behind when he died. tragic. ]
[ he left so many outfits behind when he died. tragic. ]
[ he laughs at that, because yeah that does feel like a Complete Astarion Plan. No further steps required! he also is so out of practice with this sort of thing he goes definitely red and sort of flustered at being kissed on the neck. ]
Probably will take a bit of doing in the time from now to then, but between you and me I am very done with thinking about how to beat this cult for the moment. At least for tonight at any rate. I did die earlier, and I think I'm owed at least an evening off.

[ his CLOSET. ]
Then shopping it is. You can help me pick something out.

[ yea!! it's a perfect plan! nothing can go wrong. and get used to it. ]
I think that's allowed. Just for once. Dying really takes it out of you. [ even if all you did was unravel your very existence in front of everyone you know and love. wow. ]

well he doesn't want to think about plot or dying or cults any more at all for the moment, so. ]
So, you've already had a room made for you here?

[ A LITTLE SCARED HONESTLY. oh it's emotion share. the emotion is shared and a lil horny. ]
I see. A good idea?
I see. A good idea?
[ approving of the whole "let's not think" plan. that's a good plan. ]
Yes. Everyone gets one -- it's a little haunted for lack of a better word, but after the bloody mortuary it's hardly an issue.
It's yours, and it has a bed. A vast improvement indeed.

[ (gale voice) mark me down as scared and horny. ]
I would say so, yes.
[ he's doing a slow circle of gale. like a shark. ]
It's perhaps not to your usual tastes, but nothing I can't work with.

[ uh-huh ... ]
Hah, I won't exactly miss that place. It's been a while since I was able to stay in a room by myself, actually, now that I think about it. Not since leaving my tower.

Would anyone miss sleeping in a coffin? -- Don't... make any remarks thank you. Not all vampires.
[ hmmm. ]
We did spend a truly disgustingly long amount of time on the road camping, didn't we?
