Who: Pregame arrivals
When: Day 1, Morning
Where: Shrine Room!
What: Introductionsss? And I guess being dead feelings!

[So, in an apartment largely unfurnished, save for some shrines and basical appliances, a small group of formerly dead people start popping up...]

((Just go for it, guys. I will have Del out doing explanations soon! Mingle etc etc))

Yes. It's no small task, and many of my... colleagues have been lost as well. In time they may join us, but for now what we can offer you in support is limited.

Wait, so let me get this straight--you want us to fight?

TO fight plants.

Not just fight, Yuri. Slaughter.

[... eyebrow]

Sounds like serious work.

[((=]

It is. It will probably outlast your lifetime. But did humanity not develop the same in your world? Carving out a place for themselves against the wilds?

I was never much of a history buff.

I should guess I am right.

Yeah, maybe...

So, this is it? This is home now?

Yes, this is it. And there will be more arriving. We've done what we can to make a place for you to arrive, and be safe, and have needs met. But it will up to you to make more of it.

... Hold on a minute. If the inside is like that--[motions to the double doors and lets it trail into a question]

The outside is much worse, yes. We believe this is a place where you can, hmm... hone your skills? And make it your own. One of the others can provide you with doors to protect what you reclaim.

Doors? How are we supposed to get food? And Water? And... anything.

I can provide you with water. [((=] It is one of my primary domains.

[GESTURES TO THE KITCHEN TAP, TRY IT YOURSELF!!]

Food you will find as you destroy what lies out there. Though I warn you, bring it to one of us for purification first. You will find them quite unpleasantly poisonous otherwise. As for the rest... you make it yourself, or make deals with us. We each have things we may provide, but nothing can be free.

[does that...]

Hot and cold... Not bad.

... Of course the kitchen doesn't come stocked.

[just. taking a moment to look at all the stuff they need and don't have]

[hovers just a little]

I can provide you with items made of glass, even dishware, though they would be rather delicate. I will need regular sacrifices for water, but you can have all you want. I know it isn't terribly civilized yet, but this place is really quite something when it's not so desecrated.

Who do I go to for cookware? And bedding? And there isn't any kind of window... maybe a clock.

[waffffllle]

You do want quite a lot, don't you? [hmm] I would rather you not deal with that man, but I seem to recall he has a liking for large pots. Blankets, I believe Henrietta can help with, but for anything more you will need to harvest from out there. [dismissive wave toward the door] Once properly dead and purified, you will see that nature has many conveniences to offer. Carve their bones for your utensils, skin them for their warm furs, and so on.

As for time keeping, Henrietta can provide you with candles, even specially burning ones that will count the hours. That's how humans did it before they figured out clockwork, you know.

[... sigh]

And you brought us here, you and your friends. Say we help you out and clean up a little... Can you send us back?

...I cannot. To bring you here was only barely within our power, and it was nothing so delicate as sending a dead soul back to the right world, at the right place and time.

Mm... Well, it's better than being dead, so thanks.

[CAN I TAKE YOUR HAND YURI i am taking your hand =)]

I know this would not be your wish. Letting go can be so painful... But even if it is not the life you lost, you can still forge one just as precious to you here.

[this is very willed non-tensing]

We don't have much of a choice, so that's what we'll do.

[there is a slight pause and then she pats your hand warmly]

In time you will be happy again.

[this sounds just a little like A Fact coming from her]

We'll see.

I have faith.

[patpat and releases you]

What else do you wish to know?
