[ i mean fair enough also gale certainly isn't going to be bodily lifting him anywhere. ]
Do you think he can see and hear us in there ... ?

Oh Boothill, can you hear us?

Apparently not.

Hah. Apparently not.
[ alright then. sitting down next to him. ]
... That was all rather a huge mess.

Just a little!
[ yikes. ]
And we still don't know what happened to Death, really. Does that mean we're royally screwed this next week?
[ yikes. ]

Most likely, but were we not already ... "royally screwed"?
[ is he just on the ground. reaching over to just sort of pat him on the back or shoulder or whatever. ]
I hold my personal suspicions, but I don't know if there's much to be done about them.

Whatever the level is up from there, then. Not only do we have this cult to worry about, and forming bonds that make us all drop dead, but now there's possession! Just to spice things up.
[ :/ he's so mad. he doesn't fully flinch at being touched but he does do the cat that isn't sure if it's going to fight you, your hand and god in that order, or whether it's just a little pissy thing. ]
... Go on then. Who did you suspect? Because I had no clue.

In wizarding circles, I believe that is known as FUBAR.
[ he doesn't touch him for long, just a bit of genial camaraderie. if only because he's not entirely sure it won't get him bitten. ]
Karma, but only because he seemed to buckle under pressure. Who knows how accurate that is to the true nature of the events, or simply a child balking at being accused by a dozen angry eyes at once.

[ it does not get him bitten! progress. the initial spiteful cat anger mellows out just a little. ]
Half the camp seems convinced he's just a bored, scared child acting out and the other half is convinced he's the epitome of evil. It does make you wonder which one it truly is.
But if it was him and he continues to go after the... are we calling them goats, now? Then we really will be in trouble.

[ he sighs and twines his hands together, twiddling his thumbs around each other. ]
I expect it is somewhere in the middle ... ? A bored, scared child with a bit of a mean streak.
[ most things are somewhere in the middle, in the end. ]
Are we calling them goats? [ lol ] I expect they will be more on guard now.

A bored, scared, potentially possessed by a monster that makes them even more violent, child. Complicated.
[ unless ori just chose chaos, which i respect ]
I feel like I heard someone say that. It’s quite amusing. [ hmm ] It sounded like this secondary ritual was a surprise even to them.

I don't know that he's murderous.
[ even after saying that. ]
It could simply be as we posited before: Death was an example made. A warning. Do as you are told or face consequences.

If he was possessed, I don’t think it’ll matter all that much whether he’s naturally inclined or not.
[ as far as astarion can see the… murder is just another miserable side effect to deal with now. ]
… Convenient if he was. Or worrying— this group had said they were looking into things on their own. It’s not very promising if they’ve already been partially caught out.

[ it's worth following up on, gale just winds his hands into one another and starts twiddling his thumbs. ]
They weren't exactly too subtle when we spoke to them earlier. All a bit disorganized in their efforts - though admittedly I do feel they are trying.

...
[ thinks back to them basicalling yelling "SCATTER" last week and -- yeah. ]
Trying's not going to do a lot if it gets us killed faster. [ ... ] I suppose this will make things harder for them to help as well. If I were a large nightmare cult and I learned four of my own had been playing traitor, I'd crack down on them.

[ is this a fucking challenge? gale of waterdeep is down for a little bit of adorable whimsy you fool. taking at least the hat and putting it on his head, brushing a few fingers against the rim. ]
These were all the rage in the 1200's, you know. Wizards everywhere, hats reaching for the sky.

[ it’s a fucking challenge and it’s also funny because there’s a wizard hat. ]
Did you all take it in turns to jab either other in the eyes mid-lecture? [ that would’ve been fun to see. ] Come on. Robe. Don’t procrastinate.
[ full wizard whimsy or bust, gale. ]

I wouldn't know, would I, considering I wasn't born for another century and a half.
[ doofus!!!!!! but yes yes he's getting there. robe too. doing a little animal crossing style spin. he is not pulling this off, and yet ... ? ]

I certainly don’t remember wizards flouncing around in pointy hats back then. [ then again he doesn’t remember… a lot of things from beforehand. ] Next you’re going to tell me it was only for your fancy little wizard lectures.
…
[ watches him spin with a look on his face like he wants to make fun of him but also has to grapple with the fact there’s something about this stupid wizard outfit on the wizard that’s compelling.
hurgh. ]

[ there are pointy wizard hats in game but somehow all look more like cowboy hats. fashion can be so ephemeral. also he does not really notice the look after his spin, perhaps because he's got that brim over his face. ]
Mostly formal events, balls, graduations, and yes lectures from significant enough figures to deserve a bit of dressing up - though apprentice-wear has hardly changed over the centuries all things considered. I'd certainly get into trouble for dress code violation all the time, but really the decisions they made regarding these things ...
[ HE WILL JUST KEEP GOING ON ABOUT WIZARD FASHION. ]

[ actually, hang on he’s lifting the hat up again— ]
You got into trouble for excessive wizard decor?
