The stench of death is in the air. ( And you better believe she knows that stench well. Far too well. ) I suggest that everyone take an additional day off of work and keep to themselves.

( Even if they happen to be rotting. She is beginning to wonder if that's exactly what some citizens are doing. )

( Private to Setsuna. )

Keep to the air for your travels until the danger passes.

( Private to Lucifer. )

It reminds me of Jahannam. Surely there are ghouls wandering the streets.

Do you feel at home?

They're dead?

[confined_to_briah]

And rotting. ( She isn't helping, is she? )

[steleheart]

Oh.

[ A troubled pause. ] The few I've run into seemed pretty ... fresh.

[confined_to_briah]

They must have died last night.

[steleheart]

So they're zombies?

[confined_to_briah]

Zombies... Ghouls... Regardless of the name, I would avoid them if I were you.

[steleheart]

I'm trying to. Sort of.

[confined_to_briah]

Sort of? Are you in danger?

[steleheart]

No, but it's ... I kind of feel like I should at least try and help other people.

[confined_to_briah]

Are you strong enough to do that? If not, stay put.

[steleheart]

[ A rune might work if she can think of one strong enough. ]

I'm not alone.

[confined_to_briah]

Who is with you? ( Alexiel might be a little concerned about this girl. )

[steleheart]

Someone's who's had practise with this sort of thing.

[confined_to_briah]

You might survive.

[steleheart]

I hope so. But I'd hate not trying.

[confined_to_briah]

You're that sort of person. ( A rarity. )

[steleheart]

Is that a bad thing?

[confined_to_briah]

Only unexpected. A majority of the humans I have encountered are selfish.

[steleheart]

[ She thinks of the deal she made with the angel. ]

I'm as selfish as most people.

[confined_to_briah]

I doubt it. ( She really does. )

[steleheart]

Well, thank you. That's very kind.
