Who: Karl and YOU! YES YOU!
When: Day 5, Early Evening
Where: Apartment A
What: A new arrival...he seems friendly enough?

[For those who enter the apartment you'll find a very disoriented newcomer. He's sitting on the floor with a black bird on his head. He has only one arm, most of the other one is in his hand. He's staring at it before looking to his stump and back to the arm. He doesn't seem to be bleeding...somehow. He also has a hole in his chest, part of his head is broken, and he has holes in his leg and foot. But all just lead into black emptiness. And he has a smile on his face. Strange huh? Care to approach?]

[...Are you lying again? I KNOW WHAT A LIAR YOU ARE.]

The gods bring people here after they die to help get rid of nature and save this world. Why would you be here?

[dearyme]

Maybe they thought you could use some help? Arma can get quite sharp.

[The bird moves as she's spoken around and STARES AT YOU CLIMBER]

But I'm not really one for forced labor. Maybe I should have a word with these gods first.

[canihelpyou]

[Go away bird, hand tightens on his pickaxe]

Try the shrines.

[dearyme]

I'll do that...once I fix my arm. Do you have any glue on you?

[canihelpyou]

No.

[dearyme]

That's too bad. This will take a while then. Oh well. Got any rocks?

[canihelpyou]

I guess there might be some outside? But that's where all the really dangerous stuff is.

[dearyme]

Dangerous stuff you say? Like what?

[canihelpyou]

They said nature and the wildlife was trying to kill everyone... But we're not humans, so maybe it's not the same. I didn't have a lot of trouble when I went out there...

[dearyme]

I see. Well I'll have to go out and see for myself I guess.

[He looks around for a moment.] Anything else you can tell me? Are there humans here?

[canihelpyou]

...Yes... [Maybe leaving the shank-happy pirate alone with a bunch of humans in a confined space is not a good idea]

[dearyme]

I see. Well this is going to be very interesting. Us stuck here with humans and nature wants them all dead? Deary me what a strange place we found ourselves.

[canihelpyou]

It is very strange... I still don't know if we can ever get back home... [N-No Climber don't be sad and reveal weakness in front of Karl, that is a BAD PLAN] B-But, we'll just have to make the most of it!

[dearyme]

[Oh he sees that weakness. He'll save that for later.]

Maybe not. But at least we have each other, right?

[canihelpyou]

[I AM FINE :)

Or at least I am until you say that. Least comforting sentiment] ...Right.

[dearyme]

[No you're not!

Anyway. He starts putting that arm to his stump and comparing it to his other arm's length.]

I think it's coming up a little short. What do you think?

[canihelpyou]

[Shhhhhhhhhhh]

Did you leave some stone on those stairs?

[dearyme]

I think I did. There were a lot of stairs you know.

[NEVER!]

[canihelpyou]

I'm sure you'll think of something.

[dearyme]

I'm sure I will too.

So how did you die?

[canihelpyou]

[alskhgd;adgh]

U-Uh, I... I...

[dearyme]

You did say we came here because we're dead. So how did you die? I told you how I died. It's only fair.

[canihelpyou]

I don't want to talk about it.

[dearyme]

Deary me, that's not fair. I told you how I died. It couldn't have been worse than tripping down stairs.

[canihelpyou]

D-Didn't you want to go find some stone? Come on, I'll show you outside.
