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))

I am one of the gods of this world, yes.

And I'm supposed to believe we all just coincidentally died and you brought us here by unknown means?

The means are quite well known to me. And do you think it is so much of a coincidence?

I would rather they were known to me. And yeah, I do. Between me and Yuri and Flynn?

Were your lives so peaceful?

Well... no. But we survived up to this point.

You are very young still. That isn't so long at all.

We still lived through a lot worse!

That is not how death works, and I believe you know it. I cannot answer about the timing of your deaths, but as for why you were brought here and not others... we have never used our abilities in this way before, nor are they meant for it. It was a struggle. That you came together was probably due to some 'bond' you share, making it easier.

"Bond," huh... Hmph. So what was worth struggling so hard?

A light of hope, perhaps. There are none we can turn to here, so we looked further.

Hope for what?

The restoration of civilization.

Oh, is that all? And you expect to do that with this group?

You are only the first. We will bring more as we are able.

...

What makes you able or unable? What forces are behind all this? If I'm going to help you out, I want to know all about this place. If you won't tell me I'll just figure it out.

Effort and energy, the relative weight of the task. The influence of outside forces for or against us. Bringing you in is not so much complex as it is tiring and at the edge of our abilities.

[mostly talking to herself] I want to study it... if there's a formula like that... hmm...

...Hey, what about my magic?

[headtilt]

Your magic... is it gone?

Of course not! But if the spirits aren't here, I'll have to find a new power source for my formulas again.

All power in this world comes from the gods. If you wish to have use of it, a sacrifice is needed. This is the same law for anything from casting spells to having running water.

Gods, huh? What kind of sacrifice?

We each accept different sacrifices in accordance with our nature. And the price also changes depending on what you desire. Access to my water magic would require a significant, reoccurring sacrifice. Others may only require one sacrifice, but the price would be much greater.

A significant, recurring sacrifice like what?

A lifestyle, and a vow, to become a priestess.
