Comments

[tothepoint]

[ Right. A short smile and nod. ]

[pencilpremonition]

You can read my books any time you want. I like to think they're pretty helpful.

[tothepoint]

Appreciate it.

So, where do residents typically stay? [ Jobs? Or anything marginally reflecting what he knew at all would be nice. ]

[pencilpremonition]

[She moves away, but her body language is inviting--she wants him to follow, because he's about to get a tour.]

There are large apartments on this floor--this is the third floor, by the way, anything below is flooded. You'll have to share if you live in one of those. It's about four or six people to an apartment, some have more, some are still looking for roommates. You'll have to ask around.

Next floor up, there are smaller apartments. You could have one to yourself if there are any left, but you'll have to clear it yourself. Apartments don't come with any furnishings, and I do mean any. You'll have to go to Miss Dellen to get a toilet and a shower, even, though there's a public bathroom in apartment W.

[ He will follow. Cautiously, but still. There's a moment though, part of him feels. He shouldn't leave Ariadne but. He doesn't. He doesn't know that she's real. ]

Clear it? [ He gets the general idea, but further specifics would be good. Just to confirm. ]

[pencilpremonition]

The building is overgrown with plants. And the wildlife that lives in those plants can be quite dangerous. Lizagons are as big as ponies, and their bites are poisonous.

[She holds out her book on the local wildlife, which is the 'Fauna' section of this page.]

You'll have to kill off anything in the room, then clear the plants. No burning unless you've got something set up with Tare [one of the gods] to vent the smoke--it's toxic because of the poison in the plants.

Did I cover poison already?

[tothepoint]

[ ... Lizzagon. He just. Stares at you for a moment. Seriously? What the fuck. But the other information is useful so he keeps walking quietly. ]

No.

[pencilpremonition]

Everything is poisonous. Everything. Even the water. You'll get sick, you might die. The animals are poisonous. And I don't mean like venomous, which lizagons are, I mean even if you cook the meat well, you'll get sick. Everything is poisonous. Until you have it blessed by Lady Dellen. The only exception is tap water.

[tothepoint]

[ Forced worship. How - godlike, if he was to consider it. ]

Right. [ This can't be a dream. No person in the world is so ridiculous that they'd conjure up this kind of nonsense. Maybe a bit of overestimating the world's percentage of logical people but. It was what it was. ]

[pencilpremonition]

That's why you can't burn anything that hasn't been blessed, too. The smoke's poisonous, you'll die if you breathe it. Tare does ventilation, though, so if you make a deal with him* to vent the smoke as it burns, you'll be okay.

[*Tare is genderless and hir proper pronoun is xe. Becca is a narrow-minded prat and has decided xe is male.]

[tothepoint]

[ He needs to. Think. ]

[pencilpremonition]

There's a cafeteria here. I make meals three times a day for everyone, so you can show up and get hot, safe food. Can you hunt?

[tothepoint]

[ Shooting things. Comfort zone found. ] I have a good shot if that's what you're getting at.

[pencilpremonition]

What about things that are trying to eat you?

[tothepoint]

[ You don't even know. ] Fairly adequately.

[pencilpremonition]

And hauling back the corpses?

[tothepoint]

I'm not incapable.

[pencilpremonition]

Drop them off here. I'll bless them, skin them, butcher them, and you can claim back any organs you need for god sacrifices.
