I found my friend—she is, or was, or maybe still is(?) a Practitioner, though I think she’s lost her faith. She has it in her head that me being around her is dangerous and as such she won’t help us in getting Mr. Perez home. I’m not sure I can convince her otherwise… but I’m willing to keep trying. I’d feel a lot better if she wasn’t out there on her own.
S.O.T.
Hazelnut: Hehe, found you!
Practitioner: [Hazelnut]? How did you—?
Hazelnut: I figured they’d dump you back in your hometown.
Practitioner: But… how did you know I was from Klamath Falls?
Hazelnut: Read your file.
Practitioner: Ah. I see. You know you shouldn’t be talking to me, right? If… if they find out—
Hazelnut: Do you really think they’re still keeping tabs on you?
Practitioner: Yes.
Hazelnut: Well—yeah, probably, huh? But they already took your wings and stuff. Not like they really care what you do now that you’re human again.
Practitioner: I suppose… But—
Hazelnut: And I was gonna swoop in with Morningstar Fire in hand to help burn off the rest of that gunk on your back but— well… Morningstar Fire is hard to control, I guess.
Practitioner: Morningstar Fire…? Where did you get that?
Hazelnut: …are you serious? Morningstar.
Practitioner: No, no… I mean, how did you get to Morningstar?
Hazelnut: Stowed away on one of their ships.
Practitioner: [Hazelnut]… Are you trying to get yourself killed?
Hazelnut: Not intentionally! But you already know they don’t really check those things for stowaways. Easiest way to get from one Plane to another!
Practitioner: And the most dangerous.
Hazelnut: True. Which, reminds me! I need your help. You still know how to make portals, right? Like you remember what the Sigils look like and all that stuff?
Practitioner: Well…
Hazelnut: Great! We have a Chupacabra from the Downside that we need to return home.
Practitioner: We…?
Hazelnut: Oh! Right! I made a buncha friends and we’re doing a sorta like fake Cafe and Diner thing. We bring displaced cryptids home and—
Practitioner: Cafe and Diner…? Wasn’t that up in Seattle? And… it burned down, right?
Hazelnut: I dunno! It’s all new to me! And I figured you could help us with opening portals and stuff—
Practitioner: …I can’t.
Hazelnut: Great! –Wait, can’t?
Practitioner: You know I can’t use magic. They’ll find me.
Hazelnut: Nahhh… we can mask it and stuff! Plus, we’ll all keep you safe from them!
Practitioner: There’s no looking back, [Hazelnut]. You know that.
Hazelnut: So? I look back all the time, and they’ve never—
Practitioner: …They want you alive. For now, anyway. It’s the only reason they let you get away with everything you do.
Hazelnut: So, then they should let me get away with helping you.
Practitioner: …They want you alive. They don’t need you alive. It’s too late for me to look back now. And if you really want to help me, you’ll stay away from me, for your safety.
