    Toby takes off his fedora and hands it to Rein, not even charging it with memories first. Alright. Knock yourself out.

    "Alright thanks." Reinholdt says, taking the hat in hand and turning to head off without even donning it.

    Reinholdt reaches for his vest pocket for a moment, before realizing he is and stopping himself, putting his hand back out on the table.

    "No one, except irrational victims, could ever accuse someone whose soul has been ripped out of them and their mind warped, of being guilty of the crimes they committed in that state. And in this case, I think that applies to you." He pauses again.

    "What that does not do is erase the memories and the feelings of the terrible things you had to do. Especially the guilt. All the platitudes in the world of not your fault doesn't matter. Not until you truly believe it yourself. And I think that will be the hardest part of your journey here. You don't need to atone, but you do need to come to terms with the guilt you feel for the things you did not do." That'll be... difficult for most people.

    "At least, that's my opinion on the matter." Reinholdt clarifies. "The people here will be happy to help you work through the issue either way, of course."

    "While I appreciate the logic in what you say, I also agree that it will be difficult for me to ever truly believe it. However, I do wish to use the power this form grants me to do some good." He pulls a jar of ectoplasm (which he got from Trog's) out of his chest. "Because of the connection between ectoplasm and souls," he explains, "I can use this to heal people as I did in the wars, but without sacrificing anything that was not already lost. There are other potential applications for Good, but they are rather... extreme, and might upset some people."

    Jefferies asks.

    "Maybe she was a better soldier than him, Slugger," Missy says.

    Brand is hesitant to respond. He's way out of his depth here. "I... I think Reinholdt is right. It sounds like it was a form of slavery that controlled your mind rather than your body. But if it is atonement you seek, then you should work to make the world a better place. Whether you use your magical powers as part of that or not is not as important as that you always show kindness to others."

    Brinika's ears twitch again. Jefferies might know goblins enough to recognize it as a sign of not being sure what to say. Two unknown grownups make her a little nervous.

    "I watch movies on Caretaker's screen. But I haven't seen this one yet."

    Then Caretaker speaks up. It's a metal round-shaped drone that hovers behind Brinika. However, it's covered in erratic dark grey and blue paintings and has two paper-mache goblin ears glued on.
    Explanation: The main heroine's father was old and crippled and she thought he should not go to war. She decided to go instead to save both her father and the family's honor.

    Honor. Blech. Bad word. For a split-second Justin's distaste at the word is on his face, but he goes right back to a smile. "Protecting her father is pretty admirable. What sort of movies do you watch?" he says, sitting down cross-legged. The decrease in height difference might make her less nervous. "I always liked cartoons and cowboy movies as a kid."

    "Well..." Lume says, hesitantly."I suppose there's no point keeping it from you. With the abilities I have, body and soul become interchangeable, one feeding off the other. Hence, pieces of soul can be used to heal the body. With this much ectoplasm, however, I could create a new body, and a brand new living soul to go with it.

    Brand shakes his head. "I don't understand the talk about ectoplasm and souls, but I understand parenting. What you're talking about, creating a new person, puts you in the role of a parent. Even doing it the way most folks do, with a spouse to share the load, you simply cannot understand how much responsibility it is to raise a child until you've taken it on. I don't think that's a thing you should do while you're still working through your issues of guilt and atonement."

    Reinholdt chooses to stay quiet for now. Might be quiet for a while even.

    "I like cartoons too!" Brinika says. "But I didn't know any before coming here either. I especially like those where they sing a lot. I've watched a cartoon about little people living in a cave. They reminded me of goblins." Justin and Missy sitting down do seem to put her at ease somewhat. People kind of tower over you when you're 65 centimeters all.

    Justin can't quite place the cartoon, Brinika is talking about. Little bit vague. "I always liked funny cartoons the best. I've never seen a play though. As for games, do you mean board games or card games? I played card games non stop as a kid." What's this, a technology that his world doesn't have? Let's see how he reacts to this news.

    Keo, of course, does not realize the implications of saying this kind of thing to people like these two.

    "No, I mean cupooter games. Der is a big tv and it shows the bad guys and the good guys and the weapons and you has a controller and you go pow pow and dakka dakka dakka and sometimes you has to talk to teh En-Pee-Cees and do cut scenes but dose is teh boring parts."
    While Jefferies is describing computer games, she has gotten to her feet and mimed using the controller, so this explanation should be perfectly clear to Justin!

    Lume sighs. "In this form, I do not eat. Well, technically I can eat souls, which grants unbelievable power, but only if the soul is truly willing. Hence, I never did it, even while corrupted; T'Lorran could rarely find a volunteer, and I was not one of those few Illuminators who gained this great power.

    "How do you live if you don't eat?"

    The halfling cannot grasp this concept!

    "I'm made of light. How would I even digest food?"

    Lume is rather surprised that the halfling latched on to "can't eat food" rather than "can eat souls".

    Eric blinks, "I thought they were both asleep." He stands up, and will peek into the living room to check

    Kate looks up at Eric, as she was about to get her laptop out. She's in her half dragon form, having not changed back after fixing Julie. "Hi Eric."

    "Sorry, I was referring to Julie and Kate. The children are asleep, as far as I can tell. Hello, Kate, are you done?"

    "Yeah. Julie needs to rest a bit"

    Soul-eating is exotic and rather beyond the plain-spoken halfling's experience. Food-eating, however... it's a major part of his life, both as a provider of food as the camp cook, and a consumer of food as a halfling with a healthy appetite. A being that doesn't eat just makes. no. sense.

    "Let's get you a cabin anyway," Brand says. "Ash cabin is just down the path here." He shows Lume to the cabin, which is rustic, but well built, being one of the ones that Charity financed the construction of after the Shepherd Apocalypse. "There are four rooms in this cabin, but right now none of them are occupied. You may end up getting housemates later. If there's anything you need, I'm usually in the Main Cabin during the day, but I live in Poplar Cabin with my family." He'll point out the Infirmary on the way to the cabin.
