[It's disgustingly hot and humid and even with most of her hair pulled up and twisted back away from her face, she's got curly tendrils hanging down and a light sheen on her forehead. Ugh. But at least she's back to finding things to keep herself busy.]

My chair is open at Ursula's again, if anyone is looking for regular tattoos or some runework. Want anything more intricate let's talk and we'll see what I need and what deal works for you.

[Best way to act like nothing is wrong is to go right back to what she was doing before, right? Right.]

Catching up on the insane shit y'all love to get up to, but what little changes, a lot stays the same, doesn't it? Like how I still don't know who most of you asses are. Keeping track of the coming and goings ain't easy. Anyone keeping a list?

Ohh. I um, wasn't familiar with anything like that before I came here. Spells and magic and stuff.

[ She hadn't even known it was real. Maybe it wasn't. ]

Yup! She's my cousin. [ Their relationship is in a bit a snag right now, though. ]

...Maybe there was after all. But I'm not sure.

Weird? Things just happen for reasons I don't really understand. But I guess in a way that wasn't too different before. Now it's just... more?

A lot of crazy stuff happening really suddenly.

Like, my family was super rich, right? And they had connections to politics, and they were really strict with me, too. So I get that stuff can happen, because of decisions other people make, and you don't even know why. But here it's just "oh, suddenly a portal to another world showed up! Here's a magic pill that makes you explore a puzzle house!"

That kind of thing.

...Yours too, huh?

Anyway, yeah, it's taken some getting used to. Maybe it's easier for you, since magic is normal to you?

Oh, um, I don't mean your family, I mean the world! Is it anything like what you know?

Not everybody knows? Then hey, maybe it is real in my world after all. Who knows? I never really believed in all that stuff before.

...Yeah. I think I never did.

[ That talk of ducks puts her in a bit of a wistful mood, reminding her of somebody who once delivered an awkward, bird-based metaphor that she hadn't understood. Should have understood.

There's a lot of magic she should have seen. ]

...Yeah. Maybe it is.

[ But there are some things that she knows now that would have made life back home very, very difficult. Like that her mother was a murderer. But things could have turned out better if she'd known other things, like how her closest friend was in terrible pain all along. ]

I miss them, no matter how messed up they were.

[ All of their flaws and mistakes and cruelties had given rise to tragedy, but even with those... she finds that she can't condemn the ones she loves. ]

...Knowing this place, maybe I'll even get to see some of them again.
