Pay me back by not dying. You die, the whole community takes a hit and we have to work together to pay the fees to bring you back to life. So I'm going to tell you how to not die, and you'll pay me by listening.

[It's easier to come up with some bullshit 'payment' than it is to convince people she means well.]

[fourwolfmoon]

Well, I'm listening then. Tell me how to not die again.

[His tone sure has taken a turn for the harsher.]

[pencilpremonition]

First. Everything is poisonous. Everything. Even the water. Everything, animal, vegetable, fruit, nuts, whatever. If you want to eat something, you have to take it to Dellen's shrine to be purified before you can eat it. I take care of purifying, butchering, and cooking food three times a day, so come to the kitchen to eat. Again, you starve, you die, we're all in shit, so don't complain, just come eat. It would be nice if you'd chip in kills and foraged stuff, but you can't do that hungry.

Second. Everything wants to kill you. Everything. The plants, the animals, everything native to this world except the gods themselves wants you dead. We're safe here, because this is a protected area. Go out of it, though? Be ready for a fight. And a nasty one. If you had powers back home? They're clipped. You're weak. I'm not making fun of you, I'm telling you how it is--any powers have been shrunken.

Third. These are the shrines, that's the directory. [pointing] Read the directory, you'll want to know which god gives what and does what and what they'll want in exchange. You can ignore 'em if you really want, but your life here is going to suck. Better to just get over it and deal with them if you need things.

[fourwolfmoon]

[That. Is a lot of listening happening.]

I see. A world where you can't live without depending on some group. Quaint.

[pencilpremonition]

And that's why you don't ask what people want in exchange. If they want a trade, they'll say straight up. If not...just be glad there's good people here.

[fourwolfmoon]

I have no intention of taking advantage over others here in the first place. Your advice is unneeded in that category.

[pencilpremonition]

It's not about taking advantage. It's about us working as a community.

[fourwolfmoon]

I never said I wouldn't assist those that need it. I just don't take handouts.

[pencilpremonition]

Sure. And you'll get what you need to get weapons without help how?

[fourwolfmoon]

[Sorry. He can tell you're human and that means no info for you.]

I'll manage.

[pencilpremonition]

Remember what I said about powers.
