[pencilpremonition]

It's a waste of emotion, but knock yourself out.

[grizzlyfate]

It's all right, I stockpile extra emotions for just such an occasion.

[pencilpremonition]

Use 'em up quickly, cause you need to be ready to listen to the newbie speech so you don't die again.

[grizzlyfate]

[pff]

Newbie speech, you say.

[pencilpremonition]

[clears her throat and acts like she's delivering a big deal of a rehearsed speech]

Welcome to Thusia. Everything wants to kill you. The plants want to kill you. The animals want to kill you. The food is poisonous. If you put one toe out of line or fuck up in any way, you will die.

[Okay no, can't hold this posture, starting to snicker.]

Okay, it's not really a formal speech or anything, but none of that was lies, either.

[grizzlyfate]

[looks amused]

Sounds like a fun place.

[pencilpremonition]

It's...not so bad, actually. Once you get used to it and learn how to not die.

[grizzlyfate]

Well, I was pretty good at not dying before, up until the last time.

[pencilpremonition]

It only takes once. Where are you from?

[grizzlyfate]

My country was called Ursa.

[pencilpremonition]

Oh, not one I've heard of, sorry. There's some common ones, but I guess you're not from one of 'em.

There's all sorts of worlds here, alternate dimensions, parallel realities.... It's a whole lot bigger than your country. What's your planet called?

[grizzlyfate]

[after a moment]

There are others - mm. Anyone who says they came from the Sacred City, or Sabra la Tau - it's the same place.

[pencilpremonition]

[CRINGE]

Yeah that's...half of everybody.

[grizzlyfate]

[lol]

We were popular targets, then?

[pencilpremonition]

I guess the gods wanted people who were used to putting up with god shit.

[grizzlyfate]

'Putting up with'... not the description I'd give, but I suppose I'm not surprised by anything a pantheon can devise anymore.

[pencilpremonition]

Well, these ones want us to live, at least. They don't fuck with us for the sake of it.

[grizzlyfate]

Hmm. I suppose there's that.

[pppause]

... I think I must have forgotten to introduce myself.

[pencilpremonition]

I'm Becca.

[offers hand]

[grizzlyfate]

[takes hand!]

Cadfael.

[pencilpremonition]

Nice to meet you.

[shakes and lets go]

So uh, this is the shrine room. These are all the shrines to the gods. New ones appear sometimes.

[grizzlyfate]

New gods, or new shrines?

[pencilpremonition]

Both. Every god has a shrine, every shrine has a god. Even the rotting piece of...rotting...stuff...over there.

[gestures at a particularly pungent "shrine"]

[grizzlyfate]

[eyeing it with some distaste]

All in the one room, huh.

[pencilpremonition]

Yep. Shrine room. It's not the only room here.
