Who: Anybody
When: Day 123, late afternoon
Where: Shrine room
What: An intro post!

[Today in the shrine room, an androgynous person in their late teens sits up with a gasp and immediately begins, well, mumbling to themself. You can pick up things like 'gone' and 'really' and 'alive?' and 'candy wrappers'.

Though if you come close their red eyes will quickly and nervously flick to meet yours.]

Well... I mean... I died but as far as that goes I'm -- not dead?

[timeandagain]

Not anymore, no. Everyone in this place came here after they died in another world.

...I'm sorry.

[innerdemon]

...yeah...

Well... how does that work...?

[timeandagain]

I don't know the process, really –– you could try asking one of the gods in charge, though I would be surprised if they answered that question.

You are alive here, though, so please be careful––you can be hurt or killed in this world.

[innerdemon]

Ah, yeah, but I mean, at least I'm not -- well, I mean, I'm used to the possibility I could be hurt or killed? Sort of.

Sort of.

[timeandagain]

Er... yes, I meant "still", despite... you know.

[innerdemon]

Right. Not... undead zombie monsters who just need a headshot, flesh and blood people again.

[puts a hand to her own face and pinches it experimentally, the gesture weird and jerky, almost as if she's doing it unconsciously]

Ow!

[timeandagain]

[grrrrrl there is something really off about you...]

Aah––it's not a dream, either, if that is what you're thinking...?

[innerdemon]

No -- well, that's not normally what I dream, but I guess... [HELPLESS SHRUG]

[timeandagain]

I––I see... do you have any questions?

[innerdemon]

I'm not sure I have anything but questions. Can any dead people come here?

[timeandagain]

I think so. We have even had multiple versions of the same person come here.

[innerdemon]

Is there any way to make sure someone comes here?

[timeandagain]

...

Is there someone that you want to meet again?

[innerdemon]

...Yeah.

[timeandagain]

[...... '-']

I see.

...There is no way of doing that, at least as far as I know.

[innerdemon]

...Oh.

[timeandagain]

I'm sure that you will be able to meet them again, though.

[innerdemon]

Why do you say that...?

[timeandagain]

Because I believe there must be a way for us to leave this world and go back to others.

[innerdemon]

Well, he's dead, though.

[timeandagain]

Before you?

[innerdemon]

A few years ago.

[timeandagain]

...I'm sorry.

But, even so––if you came to a world like this and were brought back to life, it's possible that they still exist in another world, too.

[innerdemon]

...Really...?

It's... that one I want to save, though.
