The First Day - [VOICE]

[shotyoutwice]

--Hm, I didn't realize that going that way would lead me to this area. It's a bit amusing, in its own right.

Well, I'll spare whoever is around the usual dribble and cut straight to the facts. Would I be able to get a general consensus of where I am? I'm not familiar with this place.

You're in World's End now. Wherever you were, I doubt you'll be able to get back to where you were... I'm sorry that you're stuck here.

It's a place where the Gods decide to randomly put people here, and randomly take them away. It's unfriendly and there are monsters and bandits and one of the Gods seems to hate everyone, but we all try to work for each other here.

... I'm sorry, that probably wasn't a very good way of putting it. Someone wrote up a big post about it somewhere that's really helpful, but ...

[shotyoutwice]

World's End? How terribly depressing, and I wouldn't waste an apology like that. It's been ages since I've been on a vacation!

Are they that terrible of being god?

[quietestheart]

I wouldn't really call this place a vacation... and. I don't know how the Gods work, but I don't really trust any of them... they put new people here, and take old people away, and I don't know why they do any of it.

They never explain themselves.

Pessimism never got anyone far, you realize. And, perhaps they're conducting an experiment of some kind and seeing what variables would work and what clearly hasn't in the past.

That's the beauty of thinking outside the box.

[myownmemory]

Looks like Rion's already told you the important parts.

There's apartments where you can stay at the Sanctuary, in the northeast part of the city, near the bathhouse along the river...I should be back there soon once I get off patrol.

[shotyoutwice]

I'll keep that in mind.

Who might I be speaking to?

[myownmemory]

My name's Riqis. I'm on the Queensg-

...I help guard the apartments. Night watch.

[shotyoutwice]

My name is Joshua, Riqis. It's nice to meet you.

Hm, I see. Is it a particularly daunting job?

[championship]

Um - this is World's End, but it looks like you already know this already...

[shotyoutwice]

Indeed I do. Though, I suppose I should thank you for telling me the name again, at least.

[championship]

Where are you right now? It's pretty dangerous out there, you should try finding someplace safe! Have you found a place to stay yet?

ffff he means nothing behind this XD

[shotyoutwice]

Around a castle and a graveyard, but I've been given directions on how to get to shelter.

Although, if a lady like you wants to lead me around here as to what's safe and dangerous, I'm sure I wouldn't complain.

[shotyoutwice]

Joshua.

[shotyoutwice]

You as well.

[unholy_rebirth]

You seem quite calm.

[so does she.]

Welcome to our little hellhole. What can you see around you?

[shotyoutwice]

Naturally. A frazzled state of mind won't do you much good in the end.

Mm... a castle and a graveyard, and the welcome will do.

[unholy_rebirth]

Very true.

[you're an interesting sort.]

Then you are on the northern side of the river. Crossing the bridge will lead you to the city. There are safe havens there; the bath house and the Sanctuary will be close.

[shotyoutwice]

Good to see you agree.

[ I aim to please. ]

Mm, all right. I'll arrive there shortly.
