Comments

[adorabrawler]

Yeah, it was just fruit for a bit there.

[wants_the_phd]

Yikes. That must have been pretty hard...

[adorabrawler]

It really sucks when you're used to the convenience of cities.

[wants_the_phd]

I bet.

What about the rituals? How have those been?

[adorabrawler]

Not... great. The first few were pretty bad, too, but I've missed out on some after.

[ not that she's complaining ]

[wants_the_phd]

Have you ever died?

[adorabrawler]

Uh—no. Thankfully not.

[ “nearly” doesn’t count ]

[wants_the_phd]

Have you ever seen anyone come back to life?

[adorabrawler]

… Yeah, there’s been a few groups that have come back before. There’s, er—apparently a god of death that controls all that.

[wants_the_phd]

Huh.

It's really hard to believe, even though I've heard several people say the same thing.

[adorabrawler]

Honestly, I’m still not sure if I believe it. I mean, I’ve seen it all, but it’s so—insane.

[wants_the_phd]

This whole place has seemed insane from the get-go, too.

What was your life like before coming here?

[adorabrawler]

Hm...

[ as she continues tying more of the cord: ]

Ordinary, I guess? I don't come from anywhere special—there's no magic or anything where I come from, and I just do normal things...

[wants_the_phd]

What's a normal day like for you? Walk me through it - I'd like to imagine.

[adorabrawler]

Well... I just wake up, have breakfast, go to school, hang out with friends after, come home, have dinner and work on homework... It's really not much.

[wants_the_phd]

It's still interesting to someone from a very different background.

What's school like? What do you study?

[adorabrawler]

[ Hm... It must be different then. ]

I'm still in grade school, so it's nothing you probably don't know already. Classes are usually like, math and language, and science, history...

[wants_the_phd]

Nice, nice.

Do you have a family?

[adorabrawler]

[ A brief pause follows; Spinel’s eyes focus a little more on the cord she’s tying together, then: ]

Nah. I just live with some lame old man.

[wants_the_phd]

What's your relationship like?

[adorabrawler]

[ With the vibes of a preteen who doesn’t want to admit to ~feelings~: ]

He’s… okay, I guess. It’s whatever.

[wants_the_phd]

Do you miss your old life?

[adorabrawler]

You mean being back home? Well, yeah, of course I do. This place sucks.

[wants_the_phd]

Haha. Stupid question, huh? Sorry.

[adorabrawler]

Eh, it’s okay. There’s probably a weirdo or two who likes it around here.
