Intro

[threeofswords]

Who: Intro and anyone!
When: Day 96, Evening
Where: Shrine Room
What: Cold, wet, scared.

[There's a newcomer in a tattered wet dress with drenched blonde locks. She looks like a drowned fish (which is accurate considering how she got here) and is huddled in a corner, trying to hide herself behind whatever shrine she can.]

[Why don't you come reassure her that you're not crazy?]

Miss?

[shrinking away from you, tucking her head into her legs]

[moonineclipse]

[crouching down]

It's okay. You're safe here.

[threeofswords]

[gives a whimpering laugh]

Safe? But I wanted to be dead.

[moonineclipse]

I'm afraid that will have to wait. But, it's likely that whatever reason you have to wish that didn't follow you here.

[threeofswords]

I'm...tired.

[moonineclipse]

I'm sorry.

[threeofswords]

...

Thank you.

[moonineclipse]

You're welcome. But I didn't do all that much.

[threeofswords]

Yes... And thank you for not trying.

[moonineclipse]

Ultimately, you have to find your own reason to live. Or not, as the case may be.

[threeofswords]

Isn't that true.

[gives a small laugh]

[moonineclipse]

But you might as well take a look around before you decide anything. Since I'm told an afterlife exists here, it's probably best to consider that as well.

[threeofswords]

You were told?

[moonineclipse]

Warned more. Apparently the goddess of death takes issue to what the rest of the gods have been up to. Some months ago, she sent some wolves through here.

[threeofswords]

Wolves...and a goddess of death?

[moonineclipse]

...

I should start from the beginning, shouldn't I?

[threeofswords]

The part where I wake up?

[moonineclipse]

Yes. Unless you think this is going to turn out to be some sort of dream or near-death hallucination.

[threeofswords]

I'm not sure what to believe...

[moonineclipse]

Then just sit back and observe for a bit.
