Well, I suppose I can't fault these cultists for good taste. Though I'm out here being the inspiration for these cults they might as well put me in charge of them.
[ He's also joking. Somewhat. Sort of. ]
I haven't the slightest. They get minus points for subtleties but it does assure that you will only get these most gullible of goons.
[ Even though Astarion was making light of it, he knows Karlach speaks from much darker hurts they both have. And he knows she means what she says. He won't say as much over text, but...he does like it when she says things like that. Makes it feel almost real. ]
The best way to do that would be attend his little welcoming session, wouldn't it?
Darling, cults are anything but sexy. Violence, on the other hand, may still be on the table. Though I have a feeling our mysterious "A" is going to claim pacifism for the time being.
( that makes her heart ache for the tomes that were lost when the great covens were destroyed. but it also makes her smile at how quickly karlach has gotten a measure of her )
ive got a wizard friend named gale spent his whole life studying magic he's gotten to go to all kinds of fantastical libraries doesn't know how to stop talking either so he'll definitely make sure you hear about them
( he's also someone that she misses from home. it's different without his constant chatter. )
no doubt about it! he's a fucking gasbag of a wizard but he's MY wizard
prefers to be called by his title 'gale of waterdeep'. waterdeep is a city back home. he thinks it's better than his name, but he's pretty impressive on his own
best thing about him is tara! she's a tressym. those are cats with wings but don't ever call her a cat she talks like an old lady and nags him like a mother
sometimes she keeps me company when we camp for the night
( all of the animals had a clear favourite for night-time companions and that was karlach. no competition. while anyone at camp would be a safe choice, no one could produce the same kind of external warmth karlach could. )
we donβt have horses in lumiere π and i donβt even know what an owlbear isβ¦ i mean i can assume. nameβs kind of self explanatory but iβm not sure iβve even heard of that one before

Hey Karlach, someone is starting a cult! Let's go be nosy.
no subject
how is it that cultists are the one constant no matter where you go??
no subject
You say that as if it were ME putting this together? I can't be blamed for everything exciting in your life, darling. Flattering though it is.
Or type it.
Text it?
Whatever, you know what I mean.
no subject
you were there before and you're here now
maybe you're the one pulling all the strings
( of course she isn't serious.
then there's another message after she thinks a little further on the post. )
what makes them all talk like that? that shit just oozes shadiness

I haven't the slightest. They get minus points for subtleties but it does assure that you will only get these most gullible of goons.
And us, of course. But we're better than that.
no subject
you and i aren't ever going to be anyone's fucking goon ever again. that's a promise.
( make no mistake. )
maybe we ought to keep an eye on this creep

you inviting me to meet a shady guy in a seedy motel? and it isn't even going to be sexy or violent?
no subject
And who gave them rights to that letter, anyway?
[ That's ASTARION'S letter, thank you. ]
no subject
he talks like a conman but a really obvious conman
( or at least to her. she's got a weird suspicion that it's on purpose. )
wait
you're taking issue with the LETTER chosen?
no subject
[ Yes, yes he is. Astarion had it first. He's certain he's older. ]

Tell me about Gale. Other than a wizard who talks too much. Clearly you like him.
