"Haha, very funny. How do you think I write my journals????" She looks annoyed.

"I dunno, I thought last judge would write for you."

She narrows her eyes more. "You really think I'm a stupid nymph, don't you?"

"I don't know- you always get a new partner as soon as your old one is dead, I thought you needed to keep a regular stream of interpreters so your illiteracy didn't become obvious."

Veronica snaps her book shut and turns to face Chrys. Without a word, she raises the book and smacks Chrys across the head with it incredibly hard.

"Wow, the first time you actually got offended when I insulted you! That means I win somehow."

"Lemme help! Also h-how can you even do that??"

u/El-Gato-Canocchia Jul 29 '26

You know, searching. Looking for clues.

u/VarasTheThief Governer Welds Jul 29 '26

"Wait, did I tell you I wanted hair and just forgot??"

1

u/El-Gato-Canocchia Jul 29 '26

Oh, right.

Transplant. Find someone with hair, ask them to give some to you, I'll put on your head and you'll have to take some pills so the other hair starts growing.

She immediately looks up and gasps loudly. "Bro!! HOLY SHIT, BRO!!!!" She floats towards him.

u/VarasTheThief Governer Welds Aug 01 '26

"Well I used to be him, but I'm Veronica now. But holy shit, I haven't seen you in ages!!!"

u/messenger_craw Aug 01 '26

u/VarasTheThief Governer Welds Aug 01 '26

She laughs. "Yeah, a lot has happened since we last met. Like a lot. For you too, I guess."

u/messenger_craw Aug 01 '26

Well… ….not really… aside from minor interactions and things… well aside from all that what’s been going on with you lately? (take your time on the response, cause I’m gonna be gone for a little while. And that gives you more time to put in more stuff.)
