Twenty-Five Lilies

[witheringlily]

A lot of people are in the City again! I hope some of our friends have returned to visit for a bit. It would be really nice to see those who've gone back to their home worlds.

Oh, if anyone is confused or is in need help, I'll be more than happy to assist! If not, visitors, I hope you all enjoy yourselves!

[ooc: And with this, I'll be

Hey. ...I met you before.

Uni. That's your name?

[is_the_walrus]

If you believe in second chances, sure.

You serious? Why're you so nice to me?

[witheringlily]

Do you believe in them?

I want to help! And I'm happy you can trust me!

[is_the_walrus]

Maybe for other people.

Yeah, well. Compared to everyone in Manhattan you're the nicest and most trustworthy person alive.

[witheringlily]

But... yourself? Everyone deserves another chance.

Oh, what's Manhattan like? I've never been to America before.

[is_the_walrus]

Not me. I might've had one... shot that to hell.

Never? If you get there, go someplace that's not Manhattan. It's crowded, dirty, wet--nice skyline, though. Brooklyn Bridge is something to see.

[witheringlily]

I think it's still possible.

Were you born there? Would you call it your home?

[is_the_walrus]

How's that?

Born, lived, died. Guess it's home as much as anywhere. Where's home for you?

[witheringlily]

Things can't be completely hopeless. Don't you think?

Italy. It was very special to me.

[is_the_walrus]

I dunno. I don't know what to think.

...Italy. What's Italy like? You ever go to Venice?

[witheringlily]

If you wanted, I'm sure you would get that second chance.

It's really nice. Venice, I remember going when I was little. But I remember I really loved it.

[is_the_walrus]

How? Being dead kinda limits opportunities. Open to ideas, though.

Is it like in the pictures? Colorful with the bridges and buildings right on top of one another?

[witheringlily]

N-No, it's possible! After all, I... I'm the same, too.

Oh, it is. Bridges, and gondolas on the water. And so many people in masks!

[is_the_walrus]

You? What's a nice kid like you doing dead?

Sounds like a great place to paint.

[witheringlily]

O-Oh, it's not as bad as it sounds. I was able to help a lot of people.

Do you paint, Henry?

[is_the_walrus]

Doesn't make it fair. What'd you die for?

Yeah. I'm not too bad at it.
