ஐ One: Action

[soldierofluck]

[Naria's found her way to the village by following the river, having woken up in the forest not too long ago. For a new arrival, she does not seem as confused as most might be about this whole thing--In fact, she's pretty sure that this is the afterlife, so there is no reason to panic although the wings are rather strange, even for the Beastwoman.

[Macbeth will be walking along the west side of the river leading south, returning to the apartments with a bag full of food. She may notice, however, that at one point he stops completely. He seems to realize he's not quite alone.]

[Action]

[soldierofluck]

[Naria's taken great interest in watching the people around, mostly in hopes that she might find her sister, so she might of been following Macbeth a tad to see where he was going and where it would lead... She stops when he does as well, still keeping to one of the houses' shadows.]

[Action]

[rideircc]

[In spite of his attempt to see who it is, unfortunately the bright snow makes it a little difficult to peer into the shadows.]

If ye intend to follow me home, you will find me to a very poor host.

[Action]

[soldierofluck]

[She doesn't see any reason to be wary of this stranger who's caught wind of her. After all, they were all dead, right? Her tone holds a bit of amusement in it.]

No worse than who left me in the snow, I'm sure.

[Action]

[rideircc]

Aye, that would take some doing. [He turns towards her, peering a bit closer now.]

[The beastwoman casts a wary glance at the sun first before stepping into view. The dress was entirely inappropriate for the weather as well, but she wasn't too cold.] I'm looking for someone, she may of just gotten here as well.

[Action]

[rideircc]

[There's a momentary look of surprise. She's not human, but she isn't too far off.] Perhaps, but 'tis equally possible she is nae here at all. Perhaps ye should concern yourself with clothing first.

[Action]

[soldierofluck]

[She ignores the look, it wouldn't of been the first time after all, but his words worry her more.] Why wouldn't she be? We passed away together.

[Yep, Naria has no idea what she has gotten into.]

[Action]

[rideircc]

This place would make for a poor afterlife, lass. In any case, ye are not dead. Or at least, not anymore.

[Action]

[soldierofluck]

[...Well, that was confusing. She can't think of any more to say than:]

...What?

[Action]

[rideircc]

This is Luceti. There are many people who are here that are most certainly not dead, myself included. [And he considers that to proof enough, given that he can't die.]

[Action]

[soldierofluck]

[Well now she's getting upset, but her soldier training kicks in first. Stay calm, breath, find out what's going on.]

I know I died, but if you say otherwise, than why am I here?

[Action]

[rideircc]

The simple explanation is that through methods unknown, the Malnosso have brought us here, within this barrier. They seem to assert its for our own benefit, but ultimately we are merely here for the purpose of experiments and research.

[Action]

[soldierofluck]

[Just like Zaibach's sorcerers? Her mouth tightens into a very thin line at this. To go so far as to bring her back from the dead...]

And this whole village is a part of that, or are they here?

[Action]

[rideircc]

If they are here, I've nae seen them save for through the journal.

[Action]

[soldierofluck]

[Folds her arms at her stomach, suddenly uncomfortable...There were few times she had been without her sister, and its starting to dawn on her that this might be a more permanent separation.]

How do we leave...Is that even possible? [Naria has a feeling she already knows the answer.]
