"Wait so, you got turned into a cat and then made immune to other changes? How did you end up a pirate?" she asks.

"You were fighting robots? Sounds scary." Clara comments, not wanting to get Omiko off course on her story.

"Wrong? Did you get ambushed by another ship? Part malfunctions?" Clara asks.
She knows that the answer will happen anyway but when someone's telling a story it's the audience's duty to interact a little. Very important.

"Yeah, sure sounds like it. Wait, was this in the Nexus, or did you come here after all of this?" she asks, suddenly making that realization.

Clara grimaces.
"That's...pretty horrible. But...why would being in hell make you cats? You..you don't have to go on if you don't want to. Sounds like a bad time." she says quietly.

Clara's eyes go wide as Omiko's appearance shifts, but her wisdom outweighs her curiosity and her eyes are snapped shut before the mouths even get fully exposed. She only peeks when Omiko's voice returns to normal.
"Right, and then you resumed being a pirate and got a crew. Maybe we should talk about something else."

Clara shrugs.
"Mom said Daddy was one, and I ended up liking it. That's really about it. It's not nearly so exciting." she admits.

Clara shrugs to the cat-pirate.
"Well, I dunno. My theater magic is kind of interesting. I've done some cool stuff, even if I'm still a bit out of my league here.
Hey, actually, can I ask you for something?" she says, thinking of something.
Re: Silly Plots 2: Electric Boogaloo

Clara jumps in surprise at the sudden gun, but still stops and answers the question truthfully. Maybe it's just a precaution. Who knows what weird habits the demons she's fought have had?
"Because you were opening up more eyes and mouths than any living creature should have, and I've been warned in the past about glimpsing things mortals were not meant to see. That's why."

Clara looks down at herself. "Well, like I said earlier...my shoes and socks are waterlogged to the point of ruin, my pants are full of salt, and my shirt's half red from blood at this point." she pulls at it for effect. "And these wintery clothes weren't even meant for these summery isles anyway. I know you don't have anything in my size just lying around...is there any way you could help me get a new look? Preferably something other than 'shipwreck survivor.' I don't know if your magic could do something like that." Sometime magic can be oddly specific. You can set a building on fire but not create a T-shirt from nothing.

Clara rolls her eyes but holds out her arms.
"Yeah, fine. Make it fast." she grumbles.
Re: Silly Plots 2: Electric Boogaloo

Clara looks down and then back up at Omiko. She raises an eyebrow.
"I didn't realize you'd want eye candy of me. I'll make a note of it for later. But while this is fine for a day at the beach, it isn't exactly good for running around and adventuring. And you realize that once night comes I'm going to be really cold. I'm not furry like you are." she says sternly.
Re: Silly Plots 2: Electric Boogaloo

Clara groans as she's splashed.
"Omiko, there's no support here. The second I start running this is going to get stupid. And like I said, I'm gonna get cold without anything warmer once it's dark. Could we try a different look?" she asks, exasperated.
Re: Silly Plots 2: Electric Boogaloo
Sailing
Clara smiles at the suit.
"Better. Okay. Oh, is that where we're going?" she asks, pointing to a small island that has appeared on the horizon.
Re: Silly Plots 2: Electric Boogaloo

Clara nods, not wanting to argue with the pirate and manages to do a passable job of guiding the boat to shore. Soon enough they'll be on the shore (the boat will be anchored if there is one, otherwise Omiko can dismiss it). The island is densely covered in trees and swamp. A small paddle-boat sits on the shore nearby with a fishing rod. There's a small opening in the greenery that might be a path.
"Looks like somebody lives here. Where do you want to look around? " Clara asks.
