001 ✠ [ video ; accidental ]

[bladed_rose]

[There's a lot of commotion as she's trying to figure out this blasted piece of technology. Then, the video feed clicks on to her-- a very beautiful, but very annoyed-looking Italian woman. The camera is having trouble focusing on her for long though, because she doesn't realize it's taking a video of her. So all you viewers out there will get the

[endtheblight]

Probably not. You're in the Underworld. Trapped here with the rest of us.

[bladed_rose]

So I've heard. [Have a bemused chuckle.] Is there more you can tell me?

[endtheblight]

Well... I wasn't sure how much of the "Welcome Speech" you've already been given. Where should I start?

[bladed_rose]

[She smiles.]

I've heard about the gods and their war. I have also come to find out that I am, in fact, still alive... and that there also seems to be people getting wounded from dreams? I haven't been told of much else besides.

[endtheblight]

Ah. Leeeet's see then. The dreams thing is new. If it's anything like the other strange things the gods have put us through it will be over soon enough and we'll be doing something stranger such as dancing uncontrollably. Which, would be obscene. Trust me, I'm a terrible dancer and I can't be the only one.

Oh, right. There's a pub. It's a nice pub, actually. If you're anything like the rest of us, you'll frequent it in order to try to forget about whatever you've done the day before.

[bladed_rose]

[And now you got her to laugh. You amuse her.]

Ah, so we're puppets, and this is a game. I do not wish to experience these strange dreams, but dancing sounds a lot better. Frivolous dancing would be quite the sight to see in a place such as this.

And a pub, you say? I will keep that in mind. [Meaning that she might just skip out on trying to find a place to stay in favor of visiting that pub.]

[endtheblight]

[You get a grin. It's not often people here are laughing with him and not at him.]

Exactly. You're catching on.

It's in the Market... The Roadhouse, that's it's name. A woman named Ellen runs it... she makes fantastic food.

Anything else you need to know?

[bladed_rose]

[She catches on quickly.]

Grazie for the information. I will be sure to visit.

I am curious... is there a place to replace or replenish weaponry if need be?

[endtheblight]

What sort of weaponry are you in need of? There should be a shop or two in the market... or maybe by posting to the network you'll find someone who deals in them.

It is a good idea to keep a weapon on you though, have you been told about the creatures of the Underworld?

[bladed_rose]

Nothing specific. I was just curious...

[Her eyebrow raises when he mentions 'creatures.'] I have come to the conclusion that the dead walk, but I have not been informed of other creatures. It does not strike me as strange. Please, tell me what you know.

[endtheblight]

They don't usually wander into the marketplace, but any time you decide to search outside of the city it is a good idea to travel in armed groups.

Let's see... for example. There are darkspawn, creatures from my world. I've seen them in the labyrinth. Very dangerous... don't let yourself get harmed by them as their blood is extremely poisonous.

[bladed_rose]

Mm. Darkspawn... creatures with poisonous blood. [She has no idea what you're talking about, but she'll roll with it.] Death is instantanous, then, hm? What is this labyrinth you mentioned?

[endtheblight]

Not quite, if you're inflicted wth their taint, you'll become very ill... And eventually succumb to it, usually becoming one of them.

It's... Exactly as it sounds. I was trapped in it once, thanks to the gods. It's a giant maze, difficult to find a way out, and beasties are in abundance.

[bladed_rose]

I shall keep my distance. [...] From both.

[endtheblight]

Good.

Let me know if you have any other questions or anything, I'd be more than happy to assist you.

[bladed_rose]

Indeed, I shall. What is your name, so I can properly thank you if we should meet?
