Week 2

[The Champions have now been here for one week, and while the dud of a first incentive didn't tempt anybody, the fact remains obvious: a lack of murder isn't going to be the thing that gets you out of here.

Blaze Dudely and Rox have not made a reappearance since Tuesday, leaving you to your own devices for the moment. That door they entered and exited through remains locked, and there is no new area to access this week. Are you sure they're even still back there? Despite their absence, you all wake up on Sunday morning from strange dreams. What to make of it?

You can only hope it's not a bad omen for the rest of the week.]

Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday

Oh. Um. Wow. Like... Holy shit.

[Zombina's eyebrows are fully raised now.]

So is this Grima thing still running around generally being bad news? 'Cause if ya need help killin' the thing, I can tag along once we get outta here and get my guns back.

[Can't in good conscience ignore something like THAT running around.]

[challengesfate]

[JRPG Fantasy Lands are pretty ridiculous as a rule, it's true.

Lucina blinks, surprised by the offer. That's two times someone has asked to go back with her to fight Grima...]

I...I couldn't ask that of you. It wouldn't be right. And, besides...I should warn you, many people would be...frightened if they saw you. The world does not have a happy history with the Risen. I would rather you not be hurt because of that.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Oh. Yeah, that'd probably make me tagging along a bad idea, huh?

[Well that puts an dent in her plans.]

Are the Risen what zombies are called in your world?

[challengesfate]

I just...feel that it would be cruel, considering the amount of compassion you've shown.

[And in Lucina's eyes, offering an opt-out to turning undead and now asking if she can help defeat Grima is much more compassion that she expected.]

It's the only name we have for them. Corpses reanimated with dark magic...I imagine the "zombies" of other worlds must be different in some way, but, it's a similar concept.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

No problem! What can I say, It just doesn't sit right with me ta let some asshole god go around ruining things for everyone else, just 'cause he can.

[Zombina hums in thought.]

So your world's another one with magic? Neato. But yeah, Zombies in my world are pretty different as I explained on the opt-out post. No dark magic involved with us, just a plain 'ol virus.

[Kinda a lame explanation in comparison.]

[challengesfate]

And a virus would be...an illness, right? I've never heard that term for it before.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Pretty much, yeah.

[Zombina hums in thought before seeming to have an idea.[

Ya been to the library yet? If ya wanna try and get caught up on some lingo or terms, then maybe we can get you an dictionary or something if ya want.

[There should be more than the one she defaced during the weekend.]

[challengesfate]

I've been working on studying things there, yes. But all I've studied so far is technology.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Oh? Ya interested in any type of technology specifically, or are ya just studying technology in general?

[challengesfate]

In general. There...is much I need to catch up on before I can think of focusing on one specific thing.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Yeah. Man, i'm glad i'm from the modern era, 'cause it must be a serious pain in the ass ta suddenly be surrounded by a buncha tech ya don't understand.

If there's anything I can ever do ta help, feel free ta let me know.

[challengesfate]

...Alright, I will. Thank you, Zombina.

[This is super weird but at the same time really nice? Like...she hadn't expected this would be like talking to a regular person, and Lucina's actually really grateful for that.]

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

No problem Lucina-chan! No problem at all!
