[alchemenace]

[ so. those sure were dead bodies. once they're back in the room, Varian's got Things to say ]

Dead bodies and fire aside [ what is wrong with this castle. ], there's something I wanted to show you.

Comments

[faceripper]

The Magic Mirror. I could switch roles with whichever one I choose.

[ He sighs as his tone pitches towards irritable quite quickly ]

However, I was hardly going to pick randomly, and so having to ask people quite directly what their role is to know if it would even be worth it rather ruins the point!

[alchemenace]

[ oh. ]

And here I thought you were talking about the mirror you and Stephanie found. [ well. ] You can't trade with the dead either?

[faceripper]

Well, I haven't tried. Once I trade, it's not as if I can trade back.

[ He shrugs ]

None of them have particularly interested me enough to be stuck with it. And besides, then the fact that a dead person's ability is suddenly back in play would likely be an absolutely terrible distraction to the simpletons here.

[alchemenace]

Oh. If you could change when you wanted, maybe then that'd be useful, but if it's only once, then there's not much point to it, you're right. [ ... and-- ] And that. Everyone here is ... really easily distracted.

[faceripper]

[ He nods ]

Precisely. If it were a title I kept, then I would have swapped to every role by now to simply know what it does. However, no such luck.

[ a sigh ]

It's a waste, largely. I envy anyone that has something, well, interesting.

[alchemenace]

Oh, that'd be nice. I can't manage to figure out what gift one bear is supposed to have.

[ uno bear... he smiles awkwardly ]

Well, I guess my title will have to be interesting enough for both of us?

[faceripper]

Considering our hosts' sense of humor? Either something comically useless or something absurdly useful. I can hardly imgagine anything in between suiting them.

[ He huffs with annoyance because BOY HE SURE DOES HATE THEM but he nods ]

...But yes, so it would seem. Or at least until I hear of a title worth swapping.
