[ He's got his change of clothes! It's not much better, because they're kind of wrinkled and also dirty, but he tried to get out what he could in a tub of water. So here he is, no longer robed, but rather in what was surely a once-very nice collared shirt and purple silk vest, and checkered pants.
And he's here somewhere, ripping his robe into shreds with a scalpel. ]

[she's got her clothes, too, thank god. this means her glowy red chest is much more visible! and also she's clean, that's important.
she's wandering around, checking on people like a mama hen, and when she spots daan, she comes over! slow. like he's skittish and she's trying not to scare him off.]
... Whatcha doing?

[arrives with a preorder
karlach's out here, wandering again. she can't see the word on her just yet, but it's there. it's on her back, blotchy and inky, in big white letters: ENVER GORTASH.
right this second she's looking at the plaque outside the mortuary, tail swaying back and forth.]

[hey how's it going other not dead eyepatch guy
anyway wherever we are, karlach immediately reaches for him, gently resting a hand on his arm.]
You okay?

[comes to sit down next to him wherever he is! she's very still tonight. no fidgets, her tail's just limp on the ground. it's weird.
she doesn't say anything, she just sits with him.]

[ He's probably sat on a bench staring towards the pyre.
...
They can let the silence seep for a while before he finally speaks. ]
I'd -- I could really go for a cigarette. Now. Personally.
[ It would've been insane of him to say he'd kill for one right now. ]

Karlach.
[ Please have gotten looked over or so help me god or otherwise he is here right after execution. He dashed back to the cabin first and he's approaching with a kit in his hand and a bucket of as-clean-as-he-can-manage water in the other.
Have you picked up your fingers?! ]

[she has not gotten looked over so we are going to assume that he is RIGHT HERE after execution, which means she is in a state. sorry daan.
she's still covered in blue blood and sitting somewhere just staring down at her hands. her name does get her attention though, and she blinks up at him.]
... Daan. [hello! her fingers are like, probably close by, but they did in fact get chopped off by a chainsaw at the very base of her hand so it's a long shot.]

no, she's not. she's wandering around with her sling still on at the ranch! she pauses when she sees daan, her tail wagging lightly.]
... Better. Slept a solid twelve hours. My hand fucking hurts, but hey.

[the way i have started all my pcs with EVERYTHING SUCKS FOREVER
she's probably still a little wet from the ocean as she wanders over. she looks up at the posters.
and instinctively she goes to rip the one of karma down, and just gets a papercut for her trouble. she is maybe a tiny bit on fire.]

[ I'm sorry it's just really boring nothingburgers of starters today but he is not! Just knocking back alcoholic grape juice anymore! But it's not a whole lot better when he still seems pretty blank of any emotional leaning. He can't be described as sad, or mad, or anything really.
He's out here with a small stack of papers, scribbling a new note into them, rulebook open in his other hand. ]

[this is so fair and valid of him, honestly, but.
karlach wanders over eventually, settling down next to him. her tail wraps around where he's sitting absently, not constricting or tight, only lightly touching.]
Can I ask? [what he's writing.]

karlach's tail wags happily as she shows him her left hand, which - is healed! wow her FINGERS ARE THERE and she can move them!! waggles.]
Loads better! Look!

[ Wow. This death-list sure is something, isn't it?
Good evening Karlach it's time for our requisite 'stare sullenly at the posters' time. His expression is just a little bit weird -- like he doesn't know how to feel, but in the way that he's torn between a few of them. ]

[she wanders over to him eventually, and it'll probably be clear that she's been crying. she doesn't bother hiding it, but she's not actively doing it right this second.
silence. her tail kind of just hangs limply in the dirt behind her, and her engine is glowing very, very bright.
she just stares at the posters.]

[ Hi Karlach. The good news is that Alfyn put him in the swamp and then somebody else probably got him back to the cabin in his now lonely room. The bad news is that uh, he is doing fucking Bad.
You can walk in right as he just falls right over as he's trying to reach for his medbag, landing in an unceremonious heap on the floor with a gritted and muffled cry of pain. ]

Daan.
[AAAAAAAAAAAA
there is like, an unbridled amount of panic in her voice when he falls, because today was bad and tomorrow will be worse and she's like, at her limit, so daan in pain is just! bad!
she moves over to him and very carefully tries to sit him back up.]

[ Karlach... sorry to be your water bottle so badly this weekend when you are really suffering the water bottle gauntlet. I did not anticipate these last 12 hours being so fucking loaded for Daan Daniël over here, it's crazy.
Anyway he collapsed but he didn't actually just like, fully pass out. It was more just like an instant paralysis and give-out of his body from pain and stress and whatever else.
He certainly seemed reluctant to actually leave the Side Rooms for the execution arena, but like... it's not like he has a choice exactly, he cannot fight back against the whims of cabin crew and/or Karlach. Where are we now. ]

[this poor man needs to be put in a blanket roll and then shoved in a freezer,
anyway, it's post execution and he's just going to have to deal with her picking him up and carrying him bridal style off back to the cabin, because she's worried and he needs to rest forever!! her stress!! but - in all honesty, she's a little glad to do this. it feels like helping. she needs to feel like she's helping.
so - cabin, where she sets him down gently on his bed and then just eases down on the floor very close to him, like the day before.]
Hey, meds. You in there still?

[how is eight hundred comments going pretty good it seems. if you don't want to deal with swamp effects offers you a tuesday but if you do monday is also good.
anyway, today there is a dog! wow! he's around, digging a hole determinedly. he pauses, looking up at daan... barks. and then goes back to digging.]

[ Pre-curfew... what the fuck! It's sometime after Camille's body discovery and the CYOA return I guess. It can be either the academy or the refectory, wherever there's a table because he's got papers spread over its surface, staring at it blankly with a cigarette in his mouth. Don't smoke indoors? Don't tell him what to do.
One of these sheets is just a quicknotes on whose name is on which area's placards. He crosses off Camille's name off of that, and just stares at the paper as a whole for a minute. ]

[what the fuck indeed!!
she looks absolutely exhausted after all that, but who isn't. when she sees daan, karlach moves to him and sits down next to him, looking at his papers nosily.
a beat.]
... Stupid question to ask if you're alright, I guess.

[ Bro...
Idk we're somewhere. Anywhere. If Karlach is actively looking for him then he'll be found somewhere because it's not like he's trying to actually hide from anyone, he's just... you know. Would maybe rather not be in some high-traffic place where people will keep giving him condolences.
So he's somewhere half-shadowed with such a thin presence you wouldn't be blamed for missing him entirely, if it weren't for the smell of cigarette smoke. ]

[she is actively looking for him! she doesn't expect like... a lot, at all, because she knows he's already only barely hanging on, but she can't just leave him alone. when she spots him, she makes her way over to those half shadows - brings the glow of her engine with her, and settles down next to him.
she doesn't say anything because she doesn't think a speech is going to help so much. she just wants to be here in case he needs someone to like. fend people off, or anything.]

[wherever daan is, there is now a karlach, who is trying to keep a lid on how excited she is about the new locations. not very well but she's trying.]
D'you want to go do something fun? Just for a bit.

[hello, she is here, wherever he is. she has bandages and things and she is stubbornly not going to just let him patch himself up sorry about it!!!!
but first, she will come find him wherever he went to hide away from people, so start there.]

[ Nobody is surprised it's the cabin. Yippee!
He's just kind of there in the corner with all sorts of stuff lying around him. He looks like he probably got partially started on things, so there's bloodied cloth fragments and bandages laid out, but there is. Also what looks like a spine! And he's got something in his hand.
It's a little ring. And he's staring blankly at it, back to absently scratching at his own skin. He's still wearing the gloves but if you squint you can notice that one of the glove fingers on his right hand seems awfully... floppy?
His thoughts are one vague: Elise... ]

[ Wow, so turns out he's alive. Yay? Except me looking at CYOA things like :ben: why did Pixi do this to me.
Anyway I'm sure he'll eventually come across Karlach eventually, stopping somewhat in front of her and observing her for a minute as he digs out a cigarette. ]

she's curled up probably outside the mortuary, and she obviously has been crying. she's not even bothering to hide it. after a moment, she looks up at him tiredly. hi.]

she's calmed down in her bubble, and francy said they can be next to each other so she just crawls to the side of her own, and presses her forehead to the side, trying to catch his gaze. is he in there?]

[ He gets bored inside this pyre eventually. Leaning up where he can, trying to see inside the bubble if she's awake yet. His features are still amorphous and gooey sometimes... but his voice is pretty bright and curious. ]
Good morning, love! How are you feeling. So terribly sorry I couldn't take you out, it's like my hand hesitated at the final moment!
You'll feel that nick, though. It's got to hurt when it's right on an acupressure zone. Maybe that'll be worse.

[ Hellooo, wanna come visit his room. He's probably got the door open anyways while he's doing some quick cleaning and arrangement of it. From a quick glance in it mostly looks like an old-fashioned style place, you know, of this sort of variety, I couldn't be assed to do a whole internet deep-dive into finding true accuracy but it's 1942 old rich kind of energy.
It's just a little bit strange though. Like the walls being black, an outline of the side profile of a gothic face-moon and a star. There's caution tape towards the back end of the room, and if you really squint, a small spot of blood here and there. That's fine... maybe. The slightly off-kilter creepy vibes are this but without literal bodies.
He's really just doing that thing where you whap blankets to undust them and folding it, making the bed. The window is also open... aerating. ]

[she wanders out from the third floor at some point during the day, because yes she does want to visit his room!! and also the whole area around, too, because there's so much to fucking look at good god.
but she pauses at his door, leaning against the frame. gets a good look, and then:]
I like it. Sort of spooky, but so are you. [take this blast of affection i'm sorry]

[holds all these limes in my shaking hands
SHE GOT SPRUNGED, she's not bleeding anymore and probably has scars and things, but i refuse to give her the tail back that easy so it's just missing a bit at the end. she's also sweating, and shivering - daan is probably familiar with signs of withdrawal, so congratulations, he can tell that she's going through it.
she's curled up... somewhere. hospital? her room? anywhere. she doesn't much seem to care where she's at, at the moment.]

she's sitting somewhere watching a screen, tail swaying back and forth. it's a full tail again, it's not chunked, yay. she still looks like she feels like shit, but it's okay, she's had worse.

-- Did you make it out? [of the hotel...]

[ The emotion here is OBVIOUSLY A BIT OF GUILT, RELIEF TO SEE HER, and also a general sense of 'what the fuck!' because she's really just here watching Living TV. ]
I was fine. [ He says, bandaged on his head/face once again, as well as other places. ] What happened?

[hello she is getting DRUNK at this BAR on this SATURDAY NIGHT.
watched a kid get stabbed and then watched robin lose all her hope in one go after two days of flashes the lights on and off welcome to monster guilt trauma hell, she would like to not think, for a bit, or something. it's not upset so much as it's just that she does not have More to Give.
there's a bunch of pings of affection at seeing him as usual, though. tipsy or not. hey buddy.]

[ Honestly he had talked to Robin a few times and he saw it fucking coming because he was in the exact same boat. That's probably the cause for his really fucky emotions right now acting up, a superficial surface of what you'd normally expect from him but something more akin to amusement and delight underneath. ]
Bar's closed, Karlach.
[ Poking her on the shoulder. ]

Anyway he's out in the haunted mansion, probably sat in a chair and just lowkey taking in the vibes. As you do. Looking out the window at the overgrown garden, maybe doing a little bit of cleaning. Flocket was crazy, dude. It's still happening. He's just sometimes pausing to watch it keep going on on the reflective rusty mirrors in here. ]
Sure is a Monday.

she gets distracted watching lavi kiss like seven people in a row, and then just. kind of laughs?]
It's a lot to take in, huh. [comes to flop down next to him.] Really didn't mean to send them bugs of all things, but I guess this place isn't nice.

she'll pause if daan is around, though.]
