It is nice that we have more space, but the fog is still limiting our movements... and a lot of this seems like a distraction.

[ do they really need both a spa and hot springs. the answer is yes, but they are not thinking that. ]

[darkholder]

I'm sure it's some kind of illusion. The fog, I mean.

[we love questioning mechanics that will not matter in the end but it's fine she doesn't know that.]

Maybe once we find the way to dispel it, we'll find whoever left us those so-called gifts.

[rippled]

Oh, yes. And then we can teach them a lesson.

[ talk to them? no... teach them a lesson ]

[darkholder]

[sees nothing wrong with this]

Who do you imagine they are?

[rippled]

Not a clue, I am afraid I do not know enough about concepts of afterlives to even begin to guess, if this is one. But the fact that so many of us seem to be from different places is curious.

[ how did they all end up in this one. ]

[darkholder]

Not very religious, I take it?

[lightly curious]

[rippled]

... I suppose not. It's a little complicated, I guess.

[ most things are. ]

But from what I learned of what being religious means here, I don't think I match up to it.

[darkholder]

Oh? What did you learn?

[rippled]

Things like worshipping a particular person, and that you must be noble and pure...

Where I come from, there are many gods, and not just one holy being. And I do not know how we are to judge others for being pure of heart.

[darkholder]

I believe the typical idea is we'll be judged by a higher being, not our peers.

[does not sound that jazzed about this possibility either]

[rippled]

... even worse, I think.

Higher beings aren't always the most non-biased.

[darkholder]

You have experience with them?

[rippled]

I have dealt with gods, yes. Very recently before I came here, in fact.

[darkholder]

Was it a pleasant experience?

[though she's kind of assuming the answer is no, considering "dealt with"]

[rippled]

Hmm... she tried very hard to kill me.

[ the answer is indeed no. ]

[darkholder]

Oh.

[oh.........]

But - failed? Or is that why you're here?

[rippled]

No, I managed to beat her. It's just... unfortunately soon after is what made me end up here.

[ they frown. ]

I guess that is anticlimactic.
