Baba Yaga?

[curious]

[honkinbigteeth]

[her ears perk up.]

She's a very powerful witch. She can do things most witches can't do. And she just has a great aesthetic.

[medeian]

What kind of magic can she do?

[also perking up a little, interested.]

[honkinbigteeth]

She makes deals. She can change reality, but she'll only do it if you trade something she wants.

[medeian]

That's - wow. You were right when you said she was powerful, then. That's fascinating.

[thoughtful, for a moment.]

Oh. So, when you said you could change back, but you didn't think it would be worth the cost... You were talking about her, in a way?

[honkinbigteeth]

[oh. she thinks.]

I never thought to ask her. No, I could go back to another version of my story. When I died the first time, I was given that choice. But there's a lot of other stories riding on what my friends manage to do, and I'm not sure I could help them if I was my old self.

[medeian]

Wait - the first time?

[honkinbigteeth]

This isn't my first time at the rodeo, though this particular venue is not the one I'm accustomed to.

[medeian]

Well, that's - terrible.

[frowning]

I'm really sorry.

[honkinbigteeth]

Oh. I mean, it's not so bad. A lot of people don't get more than one chance, after all.

[medeian]

Well - it's good that you've got a glass half full view of it, I guess.

[still more than a little concerned]

[honkinbigteeth]

I'm not sure if it's half empty or half full, but it's the glass I have.

[medeian]

That makes it sound like you think it'll happen again.

[honkinbigteeth]

There's a not too far-fetched chance.

[medeian]

...I'm sorry, then.
