[We open to the sounds of fiddling with his tablet.] Fuck- she showed me how to queue this up, but-

[Suddenly a melody begins to play, which nearly startles him. By the time, he collects himself, it’s already stopped and he queues it up again, and then repeats it on loop.] Right, so that is something I got from one of our gorgeous guests from a couple weeks ago. I went looking to see if I could find myself another adventure, because as lovely as you lot are, I get restless when I’m stuck in one place for too long, and this is what I have. Now it’s not exactly a location or even a hint at a location, but she said, and I’m quoting, “That’s all you’re getting until the tablets have GPS functionality.”

[He clicks his tongue] I assume that’s… a very complicated way of saying “until we get a map.” [You can practically hear him shrug it off like it's not any big deal.] Anyway. Has anyone heard anything like this anywhere? And which of you arseholes is bored enough to go on what’s either a wild goose chase or some sort of awful trap? Bound to be exciting either way.

[Come on, you know you wanna join him in some shenanigans.]

Really? [ he sounds interested at that. tell him more, tell him more—how did you die? ]

We have t-shirts. "I was actually dead before I came here." Except I was alive for only a few minutes before I was dead again. I hope I can still retain my membership.

[ pity, that. ]

[mollymocked]

I feel like we all had to have died to even get here, but you might have the more interesting story about the how. [aka "you first Kol"]

[unpredict]

[ in his driest tone possible, ] I was dead. Then I was alive, then dead again… then alive, now here.

[ that's literally the tl;dr version. it's amazing he can sum it up without getting too emotional in his retelling. ]

Have you ever been resurrected?

[ he suspects he knows the answer, but you know what they say about assuming. ]

[mollymocked]

[THE LONGEST PAUSE.]

Nope. Can't say that I have. I know there's magic that can do that, but I never really had the chance to find out if it really does work.

[And we're just not talking about The Lucien Thing.]

[unpredict]

Depending on the type of magic you do have, it works very well where I'm from. Requires a lot of skill, a complicated spell, and quite possibly a body.

[ not that he'd know. as established, he'd been ash—it'd been far easier to stomach. ]

So are you a practicer of magic?

[mollymocked]

Ah, well... I know a couple of spells, but they're sort of innate to my race. Just things tieflings like myself can do naturally without any effort. And I can read fortunes, of course.
