Ashlyn.

[poor thing. coming over to sit near her.]

How are you feeling?

[killies]

[ she starts to scoot over more for gesture than necessity. but then it hurts so she stops. whatever. ]

Better after going in the swamp. But also gross, after going in the swamp.

What's the swamp healing like? More trouble than it's worth?

[she will go and sit with her, then.]

[killies]

It's worth it. My leg was... pretty bad. [ ALSO HER STOMACH but whatever. ]

But it feels bad. Feels like drowning.

[undread]

I see.

[it's probably worth it for the healing, but it doesn't sound good.]

...What hurt all of you? What was it?

[she's less curious about the specific details as whatever it is that's out there in the fog scares her.]

[killies]

A lot of things. Traps, a few times. But mostly some guy named Raphael.

[well who the fuck is raphael. surely not a loser who raps over his choral theme song.]

Who was he? What did he want?

[killies]

[ surely not! ]

Some kind of devil or something? And he wanted our souls. I think. And we were trying to save some loud woman named Hope, too.

So last week, Delilah. This week, a devil. I wonder who it really is out there?

[killies]

I wonder. Something that can tap into people's memories?

[undread]

That would make sense. Like these awful shadows.

[killies]

Yeah. Something like that. But... More intensive.

If it's all a dream, then I wonder if some other force is behind it, mimicking various ghosts and devils...

[killies]

I figure it's just more cultist stuff... Some kind of ritual that draws us in.

[undread]

I can see that, though I don't know what the purpose might be.

...Lavi said you received something?

[killies]

Just to make us miserable, maybe. Or to weaken us.

[ who knows. but she'll dig out from her pocket... a glass jar! it's half full of. teeth. there is also a little fairy in there, gnawing on the teeth. ]

[undread]

[oooh. teeth. neato.]

Geto and the others received strange things as well. Similar to this. I've no idea what it's supposed to mean, but we ought to hold onto it.

[killies]

Lavi got something too. A box.

Maybe with enough items... we can do something?
