Okay, so I don't really know what to say here. I'm lost, confused, and more than a little ticked off about that whole tattoo thing. Just who thinks they have the right to brand me, huh? These 'Twelve' might want me on their side, but I just don't see it happening.

So, um... what is the deal with this place? I don't even really know how I got here

We're all stuck here. [Said totally nonchalantly, waiting to see if you're actually going to scream or not.]

voice.

[thornsthatbind]

[ jerk. ] You don't even sound like you care!

voice.

[knightnomore]

It's not that. [He's just been through a lot recently... not that you have any reason to know that. Nor is it your fault that people are so totally confused every time they show up. Anyway, he'll make some attempt to be nicer now that the snark is out.]

But it is true that no one's found a reliable way back yet. Not for lack of trying, either.

voice.

[thornsthatbind]

Then what is it? [ she's pouting, but gets over it pretty fast, and yuri can probably hear her sigh. ]

Have you tried? [ she's actually curious. ]

voice.

[knightnomore]

[Let's be ignoring that first question. As for the second, he nods.]

Looking around for an exit and trying to piss the gods off enough that they get sick of you both haven't worked so far, I can tell you that much.

voice.

[thornsthatbind]

Oh. [ hrmmm. ] What happ-

Wait, did you say gods?

voice.

[knightnomore]

[Oh right, that's not even clear from the start, is it?] You got a letter from the "Twelve" right? That's who I mean. They're the gods that rule this place.

voice.

[thornsthatbind]

[ screams

inwardly. ] Gods as in real gods? Like, smiting us at will gods?

...Yeah, this is definitely the weirdest day ever.

voice.

[knightnomore]

[He laughs a little.] I'm not gonna argue. [Weird is a pretty good word for this place overall...]

[A brief pause.] I'm not sure about smiting at will, but they don't seem to have much trouble messing with people's thoughts. [Not kidding. Boy he wishes he was.]

voice.

[thornsthatbind]

Their thoughts? As in... what? Mind-control? [ now she's less freaked out and more confused. doesn't seem like the best way for a god to use it's powers, but how would she know. ]

voice.

[knightnomore]

Something like that. [Really, it doesn't make sense to him, either.] They don't seem to do it most of the time, but sometimes. It's a weird way of making people "worship."

voice.

[thornsthatbind]

Right, the whole... worship thing. They don't exactly explain that. What am I supposed to do? Pray a lot?

voice.

[knightnomore]

[...oh good.] Not exactly. [A pause. Clearly, she needs an explanation.]

For some reason, the gods here want people to have sex. [He doesn't really see a point in not saying it bluntly. He also really doesn't get why the gods don't make what they want clearer.

...your day just got even weirder, didn't it.]

voice. 1/3???

[thornsthatbind]

[ um. ]

voice.

[thornsthatbind]

[ what??? ]

voice. 3/4

[thornsthatbind]

[ no please no. please be a bad joke, okay. ]
