Alex-chaaaaaaaan!! You're a warlock, right?

Yeah?
What about it?

What's it like? I'm going to be able to pick up a second path soon, so I'm trying to decide what to pick. So that means polling everyone about their paths.

Oh
Well
It's alright?
You have to make a contract with something to get your powers
That's why I'm sort of tethered to the Raven Queen
I assume if you consciously choose it, you get to choose what, but I didn't
It's not horrible?
At least over time it's gotten not horrible
What are you right now?

Yeah, I figured that much about the whole patron thing. I'm a rogue, which is why I'm looking into warlock. It's got some pretty complementary skills, from what I've read.
I'm also looking into druid, paladin and monk too. Maybe dancer.

It's a little hard to describe since honestly I never really liked it
If I could choose magic powers, I would've wanted something that I could use to heal others, not hurt them
Warlock's one of those where it seems most of the point is hurting others

The familiar's nice, though
Being able to create your own companion makes things a lot less lonely

So does that mean you're going to be a cleric or something next?

[That makes sense though. He can understand a desire like that, being able to heal and help others.]

That's bird-chan, right? Your familiar?

Her name is Beaky, first of all
And yeah, that's exactly what I'm doing

Beaky-chan! And that's a good choice! We could probably use more healers around here for sure. I thought about doing that too, but Harukawa-chan is already a cleric out of our little group of friends.

Your other friend
Also a SHSL I assume

I might not be able to help much on the good parts of being a warlock, but there are a few others you could talk to
Have you met Maya, she's great

[There's a long pause on Kokichi's end.]

Yeah! The SHSL Child Caregiver. She might not seem like she's a uh. Kid person. But hey, what do I know about how well she is with them.
I did meet Maya-chan! I'll go harass her too then. Who else is a warlock? Are there are a lot or really just like three or four? But I want to hear your honest opinion too, whether it's good or bad. I'm not asking you to convince me to be a warlock.

Your friend the detective said that much about her, yeah

[ Alex isn't avoiding his name just because he doesn't have any idea how to spell it. Swear! ]

The other warlocks I know are her, Erika, and Crowley
There's also Yuri, but she just got here
There were others, but they aren't in the reclaimer division anymore
I think it is what you put into it
Maybe if you can have a stable relationship with your patron from the start, it'll be a good experience overall
But I wasn't really thrilled at having my abilities consist of necromatic touch and force distrust when I first showed up here
Those are sort of how they sound

Saihara-chan!

[There you go, Alex.]

Ah right, I feel like I learned that about Erika-chan when we first met. But Akamatsu-chan distracted me pretty thoroughly at the same time so I kind of forgot. ["Distracted" meaning scared the shit out of him with Erika's familiar. He really wasn't paying attention to much.] I'm glad I know all of them, that's pretty cool. Well I haven't met Yuri-chan yet but that's on my to-do list now.
Well those sound pretty fitting for a Supreme Leader at least. I wonder if you really can pick your patron if you choose the path. I'll have to look into those more.
Is there any like...study material for that? I haven't looked into gods or demons or whatever yet really.

Yeah, him

[ oh thank god ]

There's lists of gods and deities, yeah
I don't think it necessarily has to be a god, though, what I read said it could be a devil or a fey or something else
"Otherworldly being" covers a lot of ground
The Raven Queen herself is kind of a weird one, when I was first researching I didn't even think to look into something like her
There SHOULD be a lot to read in Leon's library
That's where I found all I know, at least

Alright. I'll go ahead and start there then!
Otherworldly beings, huh...that really is a broad subject. If this was Earth, that could cover any number of yokai too.
I'll just have to borrow every book he's got on the subject!
Thanks for the help, I appreciate it! I now officially owe you a favor, so get ready for me to repay it to you soon. I hope you like surprises!! The Supreme Leader of Evil is of course the very best at delivering surprises.

[ Oh No. ]

Can't it be a not-surprise?
I'm sort of really over surprises, predictability is more my speed

Nope! Favors from the SHSL Supreme Leader are always surprises. Buuuut I'll keep it a little predictable for you. Since I like Alex-chan!

[ And suddenly... Alex is terrified. ]

Hurray?

[He probably should be.]

Hurray!!!
