Wait, so...so is everything going back to normal? Like--like, I guess normal for this place? Or is there a, like. New normal. Since the gods were all...y'know...there, and now, like. Not.
[ There's a bit of a pause on Finn's end before he sighs. ]
I don't know. OTO's over, so things won't be like before. But with those gods in play, I can't say what's going to happen. I guess we'll all find out together.
Right... [ That's a flimsy excuse if he's ever heard one. ]
Well... I'm here for you, you know. If you're sick or... something else. Whatever you need, you know? Me and my healing ability are here if you need anything.
Look, if! If I knew how to share properly? Right now? I guess I would. Maybe. But like, I kind of can't work the phone-thing? Honestly, getting it to call was lucky, so I'm not even going to bother trying to finagle it and--[pause for breath. huff.]
Look.
It's not. An injury? Per se? It's. Like-- they're transmorgified? Kind of? I have theories. Not great theories! I mean, solid theories but not, like, ones I like to think about.
Anyway, unless you actually can undo some weird...magic...stuff. Then. I don't know. Don't worry about it, I guess? Because it's my stupid problem. Punishment. I don't know. Theories!
I really don't know if my powers will work on this but I can still try. As far as... magic stuff goes, you're the only person I know that can do any of that. I'm not sure if the Force counts in this case.
[with the door to her balcony open, she could hear someone's footsteps down below. she comes outside and peers down, straining to see from the angle she's at.
...ah. it is him.
calling:] Finn! Up here! Just, just pop up here, okay? [no need to cause a scene with the rest of the household...]
no subject
Okay. Okay, good. [exhale.
beat.]

[ Which is a terrible thought. ]
no subject
Great. Okay.
Well.
Have a good night, then, Finn.
no subject
Wait. Hold on. Um-
Look, if you were alone tonight, we could hang out? Or you can come over if you want to.

Are... you sure everything's okay?
no subject
[she hesitates.
after a beat.]
I'm. Not well! Is all. Sick. Caught...something. Gods only knows what sort of plague got kicked up in that awful desert city! Right?
no subject
Well... I'm here for you, you know. If you're sick or... something else. Whatever you need, you know? Me and my healing ability are here if you need anything.

Yes? Sure. Yeah. Of course. I can try.

[ Probably. ]
What's wrong?
no subject
a long beat.]
...My hands.
They changed. Badly.
no subject
You sure you're not injured? Should I come find you?
[ Just a barrage of questions, I guess. ]
no subject

Why do you say punishment?
no subject
...W-well. Didn't...everyone get...kind of...punished there? Like, more than just in being there?
no subject

no subject
But we didn't do anything wrong. It didn't happen to us because we did something wrong. They were just twisted and angry. That's not our fault.

Where are you? Let me try to help.
