Sparky@Eclair: "You were having a rough time of it. Glad to see you pulled through, though. How are you feeling?"

Eclair: I’m… really hungry! I want something to eat!

Aoibheann: There’s rations on the other side of the room, do you want me to get you one?

Eclair: I think I got it!

Aoibheann: Eclair!!

Eclair: ... I don’t got it.

[ask-witchhunters]

Hey Aofie what happened to your ears?

Aoibheann: … I… Don’t remember. I guess they got scruffed up in the fight against Masque…

[ask-witchhunters]

Aoibheann: Hmm, Eclair seems to be making a lot of noise in her sleep... Maybe she’s waking up...

...MAYBE SHE’S WAKING UP!!! SHE’S WAKING UP! OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS WHAT DO I DO!! DO I GRAB THE SNUFF JARS?! WHERE’S MISTRESS VOREN WHEN YOU NEED HER!! GAH!

Okayokayokayokay...!! Deep breaths, deep deep breaths! Oh! I should talk to her!

...!!..... ..! ...... .. !!! .. ?? ..... !?! ....

....clair....  hear me...?

Eclair: Nn... Eef...?

Aoibheann: A-alright! Eclair! Hey! Lucius! Master Sentine! Get over here, quick! She’s waking up!

Eclair: Aoife  ... My ...gem...?

Aoibheann: Huh?

Eclair: Where’s... My gem...?

Aoibheann: ...? Your crystal...? You had that taken out of you ages ago. Sometimes it still feels like it’s there, that’s what happens when part of you is amputated... I’d be the expert on that part.

[Eclair has awoken from her coma]

Avalon@aoife: "Hey hey!! Oh no, why are you crying..? Avalon can try and do a magic spell to cheer you up! O-or maybe we can draw somethin' together! Do you like drawing? I like colours!"

Aoibheann: I don’t think that magic is a good idea here, since Eclair is sleeping too... Oh, but, we have paints and brushes in this chest you can use. I’d love to help you make something, but since I’m down a few paws I don’t think I can use them all that–

… Well.

You'll likely not be doing much but resting in your current state. If you couldn't do much before, you surely won't be doing much now. All that training, all that breeding, all that effort - all for naught against just one monstrosity. In light of that, what hope do you think you'll find in defeating this threat? Did you even weaken it at all for the others? How sad. Maybe you should have never been out there at all.

Aoibheann: I… I haven’t heard the results of our mission yet. I don’t know if Mask is still out there, or if we captured him like our original plan… I…

I don’t know anything anymore. If Master Skullsurge wants to keep me here, that’s… That’s ultimately her decision. I should just find comfort in the fact that my sisters died a valiant death, for a good cause…

[ask-witchhunters]

Lucius: Ah, good, yes yes, you've woken up, very good very good.

Aoibheann: Ah!! I mean, I was just napping but... How... How long was I out...?

Lucius: Before or after the implant?

Aoibheann: ... I'll assume that means a while. So, uh, where's everybody else? I only see Eclair.

Lucius: You ARE everybody else, my dear. You two are the only ones who have occupied this space for the past few weeks.

Aoibheann: ... Come again? Did you forget about my sisters? Are they not here?

Lucius: I'm afraid not...

Aoibheann: ... Haha, I can't believe you forgot them on the Sand Continent! Hah! Niamh and Siobhan are probably--

Lucius: --dead. They're probably dead.

Aoibheann: !! That's... That's not a funny joke, Luci! Did Master Skullcrusher put you up to this?

Lucius: Whot whot!  Miss Sentine has nothing to do with this news, you witnessed your sisters' deaths as they happened! Caoimhe, Aibhilin, Siobhan, Dearbhail, Niamh, they’ve all died! You are the only one left, Aoife!

Aoibheann: ... But... But we--

I... I need a moment...

Lucius: .... Yes....

[Perhaps Aoife could use some cheering up...?]

[ask-witchhunters]

So aoibheann, have you rested well?

Aoibheann: … I really was out for a few days, huh… It sure doesn’t feel like it.  I guess I’ve gotten as much rest as I can, given the whole situation…

[Aoibheann is available for asks]

[ask-witchhunters]

Sentine: Oh, you’re awake.

Aoibheann: Yeah, Luci came earlier to tell me the news about... About my family.

Sentine: Yeah. Sucks. I made you some legs.

Aoibheann: Oh? I didn’t know you were good with wood.

Sentine: You can leave when you want.

Aoibheann: Thank you, Master. I just have to figure out how to walk with these prosthetics...

Sentine: You know I didn't mean the infirmary.

Aoibheann: I... I don't want to leave.

Sentine: Well you can. I don't really have any use for a legless Slayer.

Aoibheann: But.. That doesn’t make any sense... You’ve taken loads of Dragon Slayers before me! Lots of others with disabilities! I can get through this...

Sentine: And if you can’t?

Aoibheann: I... I will get through this. My sisters died for me--they’re the reason I’m here at all. I’m going to carry out my job as a Dragon Slayer if it’s the last thing I do...!

Sentine: Bingo.

Aoibheann: Huh?

Sentine: The trees told me you had some doubt in your heart. So I figured I’d have a little fun and remind you of what’s important. Listen to the earth, she has a lot to tell you. A lot of it’s reassuring, but some of it is just juicy gossip.

Aoibheann: Master...

Sentine: Keep an eye on the girl for me.

Aoibheann: ...Yes.

[Aoibheann is no longer available for asks]

((also thank you everyone who came to the stream! i had a lot of fun and now i have two more refs complete!))

[ask-witchhunters]

Aofie's sisters became Risen, didn't they? How long do they stay like that before.... dying again?? What are they like? Is there any chance they can be helped?

Eclair: … Risen are dead bodies brought back to life with magic. They don’t really follow orders of Witches, because they’re so preoccupied with preventing their bodies from rotting any further. What they do is consume live flesh to prevent any more decay, and if they can’t eat they wither away and die again. Aoife and her sisters were out there for several weeks, so it’s possible they only suffered for a few days…

Aoibheann: … Yeah. They didn’t turn for a while.

Eclair: It’s against Universal Law to bring back someone from death, no matter the circumstances. Even if there was enough of their bodies left to bring them back to life again, we would be punished.

[ask-witchhunters]

Isis: You're the sylveon that survived the dragon's bite, are you not? You must be very strong willed if you chewed off your limbs in order to survive.. I do not know if this will help, but I imagine your sisters are (what is that word...) relieved to know that you are able to live another day. Perhaps even for their sake. ...Does it hurt where your limbs used to be?

Aoibheann: Thank you…? …I guess? My legs do hurt, but, they don’t at the same time, y’know? I’m really aware of the metal pegs in there, for sure…
