"I thought you had some kind of ability to track magical things, isn't that something you people can do?" Valrym and I had been walking around the city for three hours, I hadn't gotten a solid read on anything aside from the municipalities inability to keep the streets clean.
"I don't like the way you said you people." I had been hobbling around on my crutches, it was extremely uncomfortable, but absent some other method for getting around, it was all I had available. I got a general sense of the death magic, but didn't have anything else to go on, I was literally just stumbling around in the city hoping something would happen. Which is my usual investigative technique for anything if I'm being honest.
"You know magical people like yourself."
"I think that's magicest."
"Not even a word? And yeah tell me how as a shorty I'm being discriminatory towards a magical person who has unnaturally extended his life at the cost of others."
"Well A. don't say that last thing out loud like that I don't need to get arrested you dick, and B. You're not even a shorty you're a weird god off product that just shrunk because your god lost his powers."
"About not telling people about others secrets..." We were standing across from each other in an alley way in the perfect please rob us stance in the history of time. I didn't even notice that both ends of the alley had been closed off by large trucks and we were effectively trapped, I was angry at Val and that took up all of my thoughts at the moment. It was only when the men with guns surrounded us that I knew we probably had more problems than just the one I was being faced with. But hey at least my investigation totally worked! In that we got kidnapped for walking on the street and it turns out these guys weren't even responsible for the death magic. Ok so it didn't work out and I let them kidnap Val and myself for nothing... Looking back it was kind of dumb but hey screw you person who's reading this journal don't judge!
