1-The Return (voice)

[ladysharptongue]

[Guess who's back in Sheol! She's not hard to spot. Her long Tudor dress and upswept hair are kind of easy to recognise, and if that's not enough, Beatrice's annoyed tone should be enough to help most of the people who met her before recognise her.]

I...

...this place is...

[Looks around until she sees the crow on a nearby branch]

[Coldly]

Ah. Signior

...Huh.

2/2

[i_see_death]

Welcome back, milady Beatrice.

[ladysharptongue]

Signior Joshua.

[Nod]

[i_see_death]

Have a nice vacation, did you?

[ladysharptongue]

That, I could not say. I remember little. I awoke, and for a time I lay upon a forest floor, and then again, gone like a dream.

[i_see_death]

Hmm. Interesting.

I'm sure Vaati will be delighted to see you're back. He was terribly broken up over it when you disappeared.

[ladysharptongue]

[Laughs]

Signior Joshua, your flattery is matched only by your insincerity. I applaud you.

[i_see_death]

[laughs, and directs a slight bow towards the crow's eye]

You're too kind, milady.

[ladysharptongue]

I know.

[Smirk]

Ah, I must to my cabin. I feel such hunger gnaw inside me...is't full moon, and yet so warm?

[i_see_death]

[sighs] Not full moon, no. The Reaper's started playing other games again.

[ladysharptongue]

Other games? Do tell. Fill this empty mind with new horrors.

[i_see_death]

Nothing too tremendously horrible yet, but we don't really know what he's up to. Last week everyone was overtaken by laziness. [shrugs] That faded yesterday, and now we're all starving.

[ladysharptongue]

I would fain be hungry if lethargy is the option. Hunger can I sate, but idleness is abhorred.

[i_see_death]

[chuckles] Good answer. Good luck sating it, though; doesn't seem to last for very long.

[ladysharptongue]

What mean you by that saying?

[i_see_death]

What I said.

...Well, I can't speak for the rest of the village. But I haven't been finding, since yesterday, that the hunger goes away too easily.
