It has yet to answer my question. [Shale says to the strange ferryman, who has been quiet this whole time. He could at least answer why is this little wooden boat able to hold her.]

Then let me help it! [She pulls her arm back to send a punch at him, only to realize that she is no longer on the boat and said boat is already moving away from the

[Have a Doctor.]
Good Lord

Did the bird do somethin' to ya?

[She stops in her tracks, looking down at the source of the voice. The...collar speaks? And it has an image of a man who looks like he has seen better days. She gives the device a shake, just to see if a little man would fall out. No? Aw. Well, now she has to answer his question.]

It and its feathery kind exists, that is enough for a squishing.

[He twitches at the rough shake but refrains from scowling.]

I wouldn't exactly agree with that.

[deathtoallbirds]

I have a completely justified rage against these vile flying creatures.

[Starwind is, understandably, confused at that sight, but then, this is the Underworld. Taree sits on his shoulder as he answers, entirely uninterested.

Although, he isn't too fond of the bird smashing, and he reaches up, absently stroking the hawk's feathers as he speaks. Paranoid? A little.]

How strange...

[deathtoallbirds]

[Again, this thing speaks!] Another hu-? [Today is just not her day. Stranded in some foreign place she doesn't recognize and one after another, a bird greets her! She was about to reply the hello in kind...with a fist to the screen but she stops upon reminding herself that it didn't work the first few times.

...She punches it anyway, to no avail. Better safe than sorry? With a sigh she looks at the other on the screen, doing her best to ignore the bane of her existence.]

That would be my line. [Because it usually doesn't take more than one hit to kill a bird.] It better explain itself. [Starwind obviously isn't at fault but to Shale who just arrived here? Yeah. She wants answers that the stupid skeleton couldn't provide.]

"It?" [Starwind has no idea what she's referring to. So he addresses something else.]

The tablet cannot be broken.

[deathtoallbirds]

It with the despicable feathery creature perching on its shoulder. [That's you, Starwind~]

Obviously. Does it know that I am made of stone? What a shock!

[who_what_howe]

[What in the name of the Maker is a GOLEM doing walking around and talking as if that isn't odd at all?]

Where is your master, golem?

[If Shale was ever brought up in conversation before, he must have missed that.]

[deathtoallbirds]

[/HATERS GONNA HATE.

Now this is near torture. All of these humans she is communicating with are within this...indestructible magic mirror thingy and the only creature she has seen so far was that bird.]

Dead. [Oooh, saying that never gets old.] Squished. Gone. Splattered. Pushing up daisies, if it will.

[video]

[who_what_howe]

By you or slain by another?

[And that only made him wonder how the Golem would have killed it's master.]

[video]

[deathtoallbirds]

[Shale goes on for a while.] ...painted the dirt red. Ceased to be. Met his "maker"...

[Come on, really?] And what business does it have to prod me with these questions? If it knows anything about this place, I would like to know.

[hellsbellsharry]

[Hells bells is that a freaking Golem?!]

Whoah... Golem.

Uh... Welcome to the Underworld.

[Video]

[deathtoallbirds]

[Shale's just going to ignore the surprise and just get straight to the point because her patience is wearing thin.]

The...Underworld? [It can't be the Deep Roads. Shale would know.]

Origins is Mythology from a culture native to the world I come from. Probably not yours though.

Essentially you were brought here to fight against Hades. Who wants to end all suffering. And by suffering, he means Life.

[deathtoallbirds]

I have gathered that much about the gods here. What does it mean by its world and not mine?

[prodigalvampire]

[Wow. D&D walked in...]

Empty night... That guy's name was Charon, I think, and he brought you to the Underworld.

[How you didn't sink the boat? No one knows!]

[deathtoallbirds]

[Shale looks back towards the river, the boat completely out of sight. So much for throwing a boulder at it.]

The skeletal ferryman did not have the courtesy to tell me who it was. But I can say right now that I want to hear that skull of his crunch underneath my feet. [Anyway, she turns her attention back to this rather chatty mirror.] And what is it this time? Another human. I assume it is a prisoner here also?

[prodigalvampire]

Yeah, he's a jerk like that. [He gave a small shrug.] Something like that. We're all prisoners.

[deathtoallbirds]

And let me guess: there is absolutely no way out?
