All right, hi, I just got off a boat with the grim reaper and had an iPad thrown at me. Is there any explanation for this, or did I hit my head and somehow wandered into Six Flags great adventure with the haunted castle ride?

[ She sighs, fiddling with a few things on the screen, ] I know there are other people watching this - unless my hacking

Oh good! Fresh meat. And here I had begun to think things were getting a bit dull. [ His exhaustion and sarcasm, can you hear it? There's a trace amount of blood smeared across his nose- for once it's not voluntarily, and he wipes at his face with the back of his hand, swearing quietly and looking away. His nose is apparently bleeding- it's not the only thing, but it's all that she can see. ]

We've got a couple bars to choose from. Dunno how lively they'll be, given the state of things.

[chickbro]

Glad to be of service, I guess. I take it you don't see many new faces around this cheery little ...whatever the fuck this is.

[ She lifts a brow up, taking note of the wounds, but not addressing them just yet. ] State of things being...?

[youallneedme]

Oh, you know. Old wounds reopening for no reason whatsoever. [ He sniffs back blood. ] Seems to be going around, and they apparently have no intention of stopping.

So inconsiderate. [ Wistful sigh. ] Although 'inconsiderate' is the word of the day, here. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but a couple of 'Gods', or so the allege, have called you down to join in a little war. And they have a rather sick sense of humour and do so enjoy messing with us.

[chickbro]

Does this happen often or am I just lucky to arrive when everyone is bleeding all over themselves?

[ Yeeeeeeah. She kind of has to snort a laugh at that, ] Pfft, what? No, seriously, did I somehow get roped into a fucking up LARPing group or something? That sounds ridiculous.

[A lot of that is confusing, so he'll pretend that he knows what she's talking about by just not talking about it. His accent might be standing out a little more than usual, and his voice is slow and he brushes his silver hair out of his eyes as he speaks, the intricate net of braids covering his hair woven through with feathers and wooden beads.]

None here have yet found an exit. This is an underworld, they say.

Re: [Video]

[chickbro]

[ What is she even looking at, ]

The underworld? How the hell did I get here? I'm pretty sure I'm not dead.

[adeptible]

[A Tayledras Mage-Adept.]

Nor am I. There are many here who are not.

[chickbro]

[ yeah she totally knows what that is ]

That doesn't make much sense, you know. Why would the living be hanging out in the underworld?

Is this some kind of bad joke?

Bar, yes. Exit, no. You're stranded, Dorothy.

[chickbro]

Noah, and thanks, I've been told that already. So the bar is where? I'd like to drink myself stupid and pretend this is a bad dream, if you don't mind.

[hellodeadpeople]

Yeah, whatever. There's maps on your tablet, but the Roadhouse is likely closed down right now seeing as the owner's probably too busy bleeding to death. This happens sometimes. You'll get used to it.

[chickbro]

People just start bleeding to death? That can't be good for his business-- or his health, I guess.

[ofunquietwater]

Head for the market. The dead have bars. They're very lively.

...Don't look in any mirrors, or the Wicked Witch will get you.

[chickbro]

The dead have lively bars? I'm pretty sure there's more than a little wrong with that sentence, honey.

Oh, so we're in OZ now. That's cool. I don't even have my little dog with me.

[ofunquietwater]

You're alive in the Underworld. Ain't a gorram thing right with that.

[chickbro]

Yeah I heard the 'underworld' bit already. Not really sure where you're all going with this, but I'm seriously starting to believe I knocked myself in the head pretty good.

[Oh, hey. They're sending more babes down here. It's difficult to notice, but the ninja is smiling at you.]

Sure, babe. I can give you some directions, even though I have no idea what you're talking about. You can call me Edge.

[chickbro]

[ >The NINJA is smiling at you. That's new. ]

Yeah, I've been getting that a lot. Just direct me to a bar so I can get hammered and make poor life choices.

[edgeofarrogance]

The only poor life choices I know of are those in which you end up not coming out on the other side.

I, personally, haven't made one of those yet. [He's still smiling.] I can certainly do that for you.

[chickbro]

Not yet he says.

I appreciate it.
