[ she's in the bathroom. What now?
No, she's in a simulation room. I'll link a picture later because I'm mobile, but she's made it to look like the inside of a chinese palace. The room is dark and lit by lanterns.
She's staring at a collection of items inside of a drawer. Her vibes are a little melancholy. ]

[ he can look at her fake inventory if he wants. they are all items that aren't here with her, but because he is nice and polite, she does close the drawer because she is private and tsun about the things she misses. ]
It is fine. You can sit.
[ she waves towards a a table. she isn't thinking about how it scales to his height at all. ]

[ wow... cute. but also, he sits... as best he can. zora are truly so much torso and the image of her sitting across him is comical, but he doesn't seem to mind. ]
Thank you. I was wondering... if I could speak to you of your skills. The ones on your profile, regarding the dead.

[ she closes her eyes. ]
I would like to be able to do that as well, but my abilities do not function on this ship. As I am now, I can pray for their souls to travel to the afterlife, in accordance to my customs, but those will only be wishes.
[ there is a swirl of powerlessness that is not foreign to her, but but it is foreign to her in this specific situation.
what use is being a vessel if I can't use my powers? ]

[ in the last hours of memshare, his sympathy is clear. powerlessness is one of his least favorite sensations—that tall feeling that looms overhead, leaving you no course of action but to look up and watch something far beyond your reach.
he shakes his head, tail swaying with it. ]
My abilities fail me here too—we've all lost those powers.
[ which is frustrating, but no one's fault or weakness. ]
It must be frustrating, but a prayer is still something. More than I could offer myself.

[ i hope sidon is happy and still in love even if his romance distracted me from my inbox last night
she shakes her head, too. ]
I will mourn for all of them, whatever their circumstances. [ even if they're all evil somehow. how much she knows or cares for someone has nothing to do with how she thinks they should be in death. ]
Your thoughts have as much meaning as mine do.

[ DON'T WORRY MINE FUCKING TOO ]
Then I will give the dead all my thoughts and well wishes.
[ ordinarily, he might be a little less gracious than she is for a murderer, but that's why he's not the exorcist here. ]
But it is usually possible for you to send off souls...? May I ask how?

[ she has little love and care for murderers, but she also thinks suffering is for the living, not for the dead. ]
It is a power granted to me. [ she touches a peony hanging out in her hair. ] I can conjure a guide of some sort like a flame or imbue an item significant to the dead as a way to call and guide them.

How interesting... [ he wishes he could borrow some of the people here and take them home, sometimes. ] Is it difficult? In a place like this, I imagine they are so far from home. [ it's a long way to guide, but maybe the distance isn't a physical thing. ]
[ she seriously considers this question. ]
The distance may be an issue. It is a distance normally, as if you must cross an ocean on the strength of your own wing. I cannot say how space will affect the journey.
[ it is something both physical and metaphorical (spiritual? soulful?) in her world. ]

[ it is something both physical and metaphorical (spiritual? soulful?) in her world. ]
[ these are questions she is used to hearing, in one way or another. usually with less multiverse and with less space in mind, but it's not as if the living are made to know what the afterlife is like. ]
It is why it isn't difficult for lingering regrets and wishes to keep the dead from crossing.

[ that's okay, he's clearly not used to it either, fingers tapping and moving with a sort of nervous energy he never has otherwise. ]
Well enough, well enough. [ he looks taped back together, but tired. even he can only lose so much blood. ] Are some of the others more resistant to it? How stubborn.
[ he's not expecting that someone might DIE tonight, but there's been a lot of turbulence and mishaps. enough reason to want to be in okay shape. ]

[ sidon lost 5 liters of blood....
she huffs. ]
One or two have said they are not going to die from their injuries or others had it worse. It is tiresome. Injuries are still injuries at the end of the day. Most of them have at least agreed to be treated later, but they could have agreed to go sooner.

[ it makes a frightful amount of sense. ]
I can see why you are so proud of your ability. What difficult travel our dead have ahead of them...
[ my god this is emotionshare. he's sad about it, genuinely. ]
If we can make it even that much easier with our well wishes, I will be thankful.

I think with all that's happened to us, it's best to stay as hale and hearty as one can. [ if people can just get whisked away into danger or, godforbid, there's a repeat of last week—better to be prepared. ] It's kind of you to worry after them, though.
