--ttles it. I'm dead. I mean, I have to be dead. The last thing I remember was that column and...Come on Meg, get it together...

[there's a pause and an intake of breath, an annoyed sigh]

...yeah, pretty much nothing after that. Great. I died like I lived, like a damsel in distress. At least I

I'm so sorry...

[candlejacked]

This place isn't "Hades." It's called "The City."

[big_googoo_eyes]

[there is a LONG PAUSE and she doesn't know whether to laugh or just...idk]

Kid...Hades isn't a place.

[candlejacked]

Oh, I'm sorry. Is it a person?

[big_googoo_eyes]

...close enough.

You've honestly never heard of Hades?

[candlejacked]

[?]

No, there's no one like that in my world. I think.

[big_googoo_eyes]

...your world?

[yeah she's still not getting it.]

Nevermind. Well then, aren't you lucky.

[candlejacked]

People here come from different worlds.

I suppose I am. My friends say that.

[big_googoo_eyes]

Right. Right.

Your friends, huh? That's, uh, sweet. Sure as heck wish I were lucky.

[candlejacked]

I know it's probably hard to believe, but it's true. My world is called Sylvarant.

If you like, I can be your friend while you're here.

[big_googoo_eyes]

Hard to believe's an understatement... Well that's a tongue twister. I come from a place called Thebes...but Thebes isn't the whole world.

...you're offering to be friends with a woman you just talked to? Over this...thing? Trust me, kid, you don't want to be so open like that.

[candlejacked]

So it's a city? Or a country?

It's okay. I met one of my closest friends when she tried to kill me, and another when he tried to capture me.

[big_googoo_eyes]

A city. The country's called Greece.

Wow. Some friends you have.

[candlejacked]

Thebes, Greece. That's a nice name for a place.

Yes, they're wonderful people.

[big_googoo_eyes]

Yeah, too bad it's not as nice as it sounds.

[wow she's stuck talking to someone who doesn't get sarcasm just her luck.]

They sure sound like it. But don't get your hopes up about them, kid.

[candlejacked]

What's wrong with it?

[sorry, she's an idiot :(]

It's alright. We saved the world together. I know I can trust them with my life.
