Tell me about resurrection here.

[ Hickey knows one whole person in town so far, and he has questions. ]

[geomagnetically]

1). You die.
2). The Deathwarden, Ianthe (another Void-Touched), prepares your body for the process.
3). You're delivered to the Duchess in the castle, where she actually does it.
4). You're aware of what's happening while it's happening — it sucks.
5). Ta-da — you're back in business, baby.

Not as nice as what we did back home on Krakoa, but. Eh. At least I haven't died in an embarrassing way here yet.

[ which is more than she can say for home ]

[spotsalone]

[ Well, at least she's not fussed about social niceties. ]

But you have died? You speak as though you've been here for some time.

[geomagnetically]

In a couple or so weeks I will have been here a year. And I've died here before, yes — and I've got friends here who have as well. Granted, dying is pretty common around here when you have a spider god to bring you back.

[spotsalone]

A whole year. You're well-established.

The town does seem eager for blood. What about the others like us? Void-touched. I can't imagine this sort of sport is familiar to most of us.

[geomagnetically]

sport like the Vesenya Lovti shit? I guess some might be familiar with it; people can come from weird places, and I don't know everyone, so I'm not willing to say for 100% fact. Because then I might be wrong and look like a dipshit about it and that's not worth the embarrassment, and if I'm gonna embarrass myself it's gonna be over something way funnier.

[ ...Alright, enough of this. ]

Who is Dominic Hartley?

[geomagnetically]

Someone who's also been here a while, why? You have his name on you or something?

[spotsalone]

No, but I think he has mine. I'd like to know who to keep an eye on.

Is he the sort to participate in a festival like this?

[geomagnetically]

Fair enough.

if I were gonna bet on it one way or the other, I would say no, but it's not like the Duchess here and her supporters don't have ways to get to people in very personal ways to persuade them otherwise to do her bidding and shit like that.

[spotsalone]

Then I ought to watch my back, from the sound of it.

Whereabouts in town does he spend his time? My best shot is to avoid crossing paths with him.

[geomagnetically]

That would be wise for a few reasons.

Hm, well, I'd say super popular at the moot hall and the farming areas, so..... those.

[ her? lie? never. ]
