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

[extent]

it was in the same spot as my old one
that week was weird though, my hand wasn't scarred when it happened. i didn't even notice at the time

[guylining]

did he cut you?

[extent]

no, i did it. i couldn't have even come close to what he was asking for if i didn't. i mean don't get me wrong he was swinging a giant sword around very threateningly but yeah
the hand was me

[guylining]

so blood magic again

idk nick i mean where i'm from using your blood to power a spell isn't inherently bad. it doesn't come with any corruption threat

but maybe like
idk we could do a cleansing thing maybe
my magic might affect it where yours can't

[extent]

yeah, you can try, i'd like that
i mean i don't think it'll make anything worse

i wonder if you can feel it actually, if you're looking for it.

[guylining]

i always just feel everything and know it's you

i've never gone looking deeper though

do you want me to try? i mean, you did it for me
