[guylining]

yeah.

made me relieved you dropped out. fucking insanity, that.

[extent]

you know it used to seem kinda normal to me.

i went out that night, anyway. into the woods where they do graduation. one of my friends, not these guys, i just like

i knew something bad was going to happen. that was fucking insanity, wtf did i even think i was going to do, i'd done nothing but be high for 3 yrs straight

[guylining]

wait so you went anyway?

what the fuck happened nick

[extent]

august, his name is. i've known him forever, i had to go, i just sort of knew i had to, or he wouldnt make it. i dont know what happened out there but he was like, almost dead when i found him

do you remember how when i got here my healing was like....average at best?

[guylining]

yeah

you could do it but it's gotten better while you worked on it. you're one of the best there is now

but ok so when you found him you struggled to heal him i guess?

[extent]

yeah
i was even worse then, like seriously so average, but he was dying and there was this demon thing out there and i wasnt strong enough to keep that thing out and fix august on my own

its his knife. he had it with him that night. blood magic was basically the only thing that could make me powerful enough to handle either of those things, let alone both, so i sliced my hand open with it

that's like, why my hand's still like that, the scar

[guylining]

oh

fuck, that's intense, nick. did you save him?
what happened with the monster

[extent]

it never really wanted me anyway, august was the one with the demonic magic. idk, i didn't kill it or anything, but i held it back. it probably found someone else out there.

but he lived, yeah. i saved him. fuck them woods though

[guylining]

how did you know he needed you

was it like an extrasensory thing?

i didn't think you were big on divination

[extent]

i'm not, like at all, thats why it was weird.
idk
something didnt want him going that night i guess

[guylining]

then something made the right call

you know that's a hero move. what you did.

you must've been terrified.

[extent]

yeah it was scary as shit, i cant fight for shit
idk about hero, it was so goddamn stupid thats for sure. but none of my people died in the woods that year so like. it was worth it

[guylining]

i've met a lot of heroes here, they're basically all stupid

you saved your friend, that's what matters.

you're pretty badass.

[extent]

it was like one moment in a lifetime of coasting i wouldnt get too ahead of urself babe, badass is a stretch

[guylining]

no it's not you saved his life
don't play down your badassery

[extent]

if i was really badass i would have done it w/o scarring myself for life but

ok sure it was a little

[guylining]

scars are hot. that one's a reminder of badassery, it makes it sexier

but i mean if you don't like it
you healed my scars. the ones from stephen.

[extent]

idk if it'll heal tbh, nothing ive tried ever worked

i dont even know if i want to get rid of it or not yknow? it's mostly just annoying that i dont get to like choose

[guylining]

tell me about blood magic

you said that like it was a whole deal. i've known other witches it was a big deal for too

what does it mean to you?

[extent]

it's like powerful, but it's risky. it's not like taboo exactly it's just sort of like. it can go wrong so easily, and no one really knows how to fix corruption once it's set in, so the general party line where we're from is for witches to stay away from it, if you can

obviously not everyone listens. some magic works better with it than others though. demonic magic usually handles it better, not so much mine.

[guylining]

corruption, like from where?

[extent]

i don't know, from the magic i think. there's a few things that can cause it. it's like an infection, i guess, and if its bad enough it spreads until you're not a person any more. that's how some monsters are made.

[guylining]

and you think the scar is what, like

a sign of that?

you had another one after that shit with hellboy

[extent]

it's not getting any worse. i already checked, i check all the time, to make sure you know? it's just like idk, a tiny little sliver of messed up in there, i think thats why it didn't heal over

i did, yeah. i was messing with shit i shouldn't have.

[guylining]

did that one fade or

is it permanent too
