I suppose "the Path" is better branding than "wander around and hope you stumble on a monster worth killin'". Catchier. [ Her tone is light, humorous, but honestly, it's not the worst way to live your life, she thinks. It doesn't sound particularly lucrative, since it apparently also requires someone willing to pay to get rid of the thing, but it at least doesn't sound boring.
It would still be better with a car, though. As someone who has travelled a very long distance on foot, she is positive that being a Witcher would be infinitely better with kitted-out van.
Wrinkling her nose, she tries very hard to figure out how to explain global warming in a few sentences. She has definitely read at least a few Cosmo articles about it. ] Mm, more like a certainty. See, in my world, people have fucked nature up real bad, and it's a big ol' mess now. Because of shit people did over the last hundred years or so, the world is gettin' hotter. When it gets hotter, the ice caps melt. The top and bottom of the planet have these big... chunks of ice, basically, and as they melt, they're makin' the oceans flood over. And everything gettin' hotter does other stuff, too. Wildfires, hurricanes. Fucks with animals that hibernate or migrate. Probably for the best that we got snuffed out when we did.
Oh, but we did have ice ages before, that must be what the elves are talkin' about. Millions and millions of years ago, there was a huge comet that hit the Earth, and all the dust that it blew into the air blocked the sun from hittin' the ground. Everything froze over, most things died out, all the dinosaurs.
[ She pauses thoughtfully. ] Oh, dinosaurs were these giant lizard monster things. But they were really more like chickens... I'm sorry, this shit is confusin' for people who grew up with it. It must be impossible for y'all when we try to explain.
