Well, THIS is unexpected.
[there's a young woman using the video feature; she has dark skin, flyaway hair, and a tattered top which was once ornate and beautiful. she's staring at the screen with odd combination of wariness and amusement, and her unfamiliarity with technology is quickly made apparent when she hesitantly pokes at a couple of controls and the video cuts out, to be replaced by audio only.]
--Oh. Hm.
[a few moments' silence as she possibly tries to undo whatever she did, but doesn't figure out how, so continues regardless.]
I'm told I now belong to House Heimdall. If it pleases the patron, I would like to meet him and pay my respects before settling in.
[a pause, then a snort of laughter]
Of course, it must be some kind of cosmic joke that I'm in an afterlife with gods I've never heard of before. I wonder what Ahriman or Ormazd would say to all this. ...Or the stranger. [with definite amusement this time] I bet he'd be complaining.
My name is Elika. I don't know how to describe where I'm from, or what to tell you... I'm here now, so I suppose what my life was before now doesn't really matter anymore, but I'll work with everyone to bring back the color to this place.
