Gotta say, I haven't seen a town this bad for years. It's a giant culture shock to me, but I don't think it's anything I can't adjust to. This must be hell. Waking up here like this, how could it not be? About time. (This device saying 'use me'. Maybe how someone is tracking me here?) But you'd think for hell I might end up in a worse situation.

Aw, its not so bad! Sure it looks bad, sometimes there's trouble, and monsters...but not everything's bad. There's life in little places, the city's coming back...new people, and cleaner rain, and...and you'll fit right in too, in time, you'll see. I see Mr Smith's given you the rundown already, so I guess I'll just do normal hellos. Don't got any vodka, sorry, but maybe some music and...uh...well, there's lemonade, could take the nervy new-person edge of?

I'm Demyx. I've been here maybe three months now, myself. In that time I've died of a plague and come back to life, started my first ever band, met lots of new people, and gotten some things I've only ever dreamed of finding. Discedo's not so bad! Neither is the Sneaky Group!

Music, huh? That last thing I would expect to hear about being in a place like this. And I thought my luck had finally reached an end. I don't have my saxaphone, though.

It sounds like you're on a good path for yourself. Maybe something will show up for me. I'm Gren, and I appriciate your help, Demyx. Sorry that I'm not sure what to say. This is a more surreal situation than I had imagined finding myself fall into.

[quirky_sitar]

Yep, music. Improves the mood of the place by loads. Sax? Oh, we've got one of those! Iroh usually plays it for lack of a Tsungi Horn, but...I'm sure he'd share, or find something else to play from the back of Frizzle's bus.

Hey, no sweat. Everyone's like this first few days, weeks in.

[nofaithtolose]

The Frizzle's bus? Um... I don't know maybe I can find one around here. I don't want to take anyone elses's instruments.

I can only imagine.

[quirky_sitar]

Hey, so...We'll be playing for a party when all the people come back from their hunting trip, hopefully with lots of meat to roast. If you find something, you can come jam with us!

[nofaithtolose]

So theres a hunting trip. What do they hunt?

You know, that sounds like fun. If I can get in the mood I will. Music can certainly make the world go round.

[quirky_sitar]

Um...psychic bears that explode, I think?

Sweet! I'll tell the guys.

[nofaithtolose]

Oh... kay. I feel like I'm in a horror novel now.

[quirky_sitar]

It's not so bad as other things you'll run into!

Um...anyway, even if it does seem a bit freaky around here...at least we're all...um, helpful to one another. Most of us.

[nofaithtolose]

Right. because I never expected this place to be 100% safe from villans. There's no one here named Vicious, is there?
I've seen bad places like this. Just not infested with monsters. It's like a ghost town here.

[quirky_sitar]

Vicious? We gotta guy named Killer, but not Vicious.

Yeah, the people who used to live here all died from a plague...but then we got brought here, and vaccinated.

[nofaithtolose]

Alright. Well, Demyx, I would appriciate it if you 'forgot' I ever asked you that. Thanks.

That's a strange way to go about things. But I heard there is a possible theory of rebuilding this town and repopulating it, right?

[quirky_sitar]

Forget? Oohhhhh. Forgeeeet. Gotcha.

Yeah, thats what the sneaky group has us here for, I think.
