Who: A new arrival
When: Day 143, late morning
Where: the fourth floor windows just beyond the shrines
What: watching it rain

[A young woman in red is staring out the windows at the rain with a bemused smile, her right eye covered by strips of reddish cloth. She's carrying a metal staff and has a small foxhawk riding on her shoulder.]


Well, they could have at least greeted me with more pleasant weather, don't you think?

[runningintotime]

Did you think to remain dead the better option?

[puckable]

Depends on which kind of dead we're talking about.

[runningintotime]

The kind where one dies.

[puckable]

Goodness, what an extremely helpful answer.

No matter. You're here, so that's that.

[runningintotime]

I'm afraid it's the only kind I'm familiar with. Perhaps you can tell me about this place?

[puckable]

Thusia. Strange animals, strange people, strange weather, strange gods. That's more or less it.

[runningintotime]

You find everything here strange then?

[puckable]

Just about.

[runningintotime]

What was your home like then?

[puckable]

I've no way to adequately explain it.

More comfortable than this, that's for sure.

[runningintotime]

[looking around]

This isn't too bad except for the rain.

[puckable]

I will at least go so far as to say that it's not the absolute worst. Could do with far more luxuries, though.

[runningintotime]

I never had much need for things like that.

[puckable]

A shame. I'm sure you'd look nice in Prada.

[runningintotime]

Where is that?

[puckable]

[Small combo of a sigh and a laugh.]

Inside joke from my world. It was a compliment, though.

[runningintotime]

Then I will accept it as such.

[puckable]

Wise choice.

So what kind of creature is that? [Foxhawk.]

[runningintotime]

A foxhawk. Karabi.

[bringing her arm forward to let him see better]

[puckable]

[Reeaaaaches very slowly to try and pet it.]

Fitting name.

[runningintotime]

[it makes a soft chittering yip and fans its wings]

Don't rush it. Wild things take time to trust.

[puckable]

Kestrel and Karabi. Alliterative- nice choice.

I didn't know we could take pets into this place, though.

[runningintotime]

No one told me otherwise.

[puckable]

Wish I'd been allowed to take a pet too.

[runningintotime]

Did one die with you?
