I'm not scared!

[misterious]

Sure. That's why you're clinging to that frying pan as though your life depended on it.

But since it you're not, there's no point in saying that it's a good thing to be scared. It's proof of an active imagination and concisousness of one's surroundings. Only a complete idiot with delusions of invincibility would truly believe there is nothing to fear in an unfamiliar place, especially one that can revive the dead.

[tonewlengths]

[Falters...] I'm... I'm not... I won't...

[misterious]

[Turns to face her as they reach the entrance to the kitchen, staring her down.]

You won't what?

[tonewlengths]

[No don't do that I don't even know what I'm trying to say, takes a step back]

[misterious]

[And then her expression. . . doesn't exactly soften, but it's slightly less intimidating. Comparatively speaking.]

You don't need to answer that. Here's the kitchen.

[The kitchen is fancy and well-stocked. She's already making herself a cup of tea.]

[tonewlengths]

[Nods, following her inside ._. Glances around the place]

[misterious]

[Mm. Tea. . . ]

Technically, there's some rule about helping restock things if they're used, but there are far more contributors than cooks, so it's unnecessary. . .

The ingredients might be unfamiliar, obviously.

[tonewlengths]

They will? [Nobody has told me about nature being weird yet]

[misterious]

Lizards the size of horses. Batmonkeys with claw-tipped prehensile tails. Massive spiders that occasionally kidnap residents for snacks. . . Or try to. There're plenty of people who're more than happy to venture into nature and hunt them down.

The only thing that might be familiar are butterflies, which aren't edible, presumably. You could try, I guess.

[Loooooong sip.]

[tonewlengths]

[H...HORRIFIED]

[misterious]

They're avoidable. Like I said, there're plenty who can and do hunt the wildlife on a regular basis.

If you'd like to go out, you can always recruit someone as an escort.

[tonewlengths]

A-And they can fight the spiders and things?

[misterious]

Unless you'd prefer to do so yourself.

[tonewlengths]

No, I'm not a fighter.

[misterious]

. . .There's no need to feel sad about it.

[tonewlengths]

It's more I'm sad in general...

[misterious]

And that's understandable.

What'll you do about it?
