01 Doll

[bishopcastor]

It would appear that I will be here for a respectable amount of time. My thanks to the staff for their assistance. I have managed to locate my new residence without incident thanks to their help. I will take this as an opportunity to introduce myself. I am Bishop Castor of the 7th District Church. If I may be of service, please feel

Another bishop?

There is a forest, though it is apparently somewhat dangerous if you travel too far. I am not certain of any penalties for cutting down trees, but should you wish to try that would be your best bet.

[bishopcastor]

So it would appear. Perhaps the school is in need of a stronger divine influence?

I would not need a tree from very far into the forest. It only needs to be large enough for one of my dolls. I will have to ask one of the staff if it is against the school's rules.

[draw_a_card]

...Perhaps.

You are unlikely to get a great deal of help from the staff. There a few rules here, and I would imagine you would face no penalty for cutting down a tree.

However, you may be able to find wood in whichever of the buildings that has carpentry. I believe one of them does, though I'm not certain which.

[bishopcastor]

Would there be? I will have to explore the grounds more and check the quality of the wood available. I believe the staff would be enough of a help to point out if it is against the rules. That is part of their purpose, is it not?

[draw_a_card]

If I remember correctly, there should be supplies in one of the buildings, yes.

With any luck. I don't speak much with them.

[bishopcastor]

Why do you not speak with them?

[draw_a_card]

I find it unpleasant to speak with beings that have no souls.

[bishopcastor]

Ah, so you noticed as well. They are not bad creatures... just unfortunate.

[draw_a_card]

Yes, though it is odd to see beings with no souls who are able to move and speak.

[bishopcastor]

I can understand your discomfort. Are others aware of the status of the staff?

[draw_a_card]

Most of the people here know they are soulless, yes; either they can sense it themselves or they have been informed.

[bishopcastor]

Ah, then I do not need to keep quiet of such things. I did not want to cause unnecessary discomfort or possibly panic. You've been very informative. May I have your name?

[draw_a_card]

Those here are used to a great deal by this point; there is little concern about causing panic.

Atem. You are from the same world as Frau and Labrador?

[bishopcastor]

I take it several strange occurrences happen here?

Yes, Atem, we are from the same world and from the same church.

[draw_a_card]

That would be something of an understatement; something strange is always happening, whether cause by the school or an individual, or both. The headmistress is sorceress, and there are many other magic-users here as well.

I believe I asked Labrador this question already, but how is it that you manage to put up with Frau for so long?

[bishopcastor]

Then such happenings would be expected and typical.

A boot to the head when he gets out of hand.
