POOR UNFORTUNATE SOULS


[There's no doubt that those who wake up will vaguely remember a dream.

In that dream, at least for most people, there are two figures, informing them each that they had a Title. With that title came a power. More than that, they were being given rooms, as if they were meant to stay in the dark and gloomy place where their dreams placed them. The Strangers might have found this to be a ridiculous proposition. Unless they have been through this before, then were probably not surprised in the least.

All of this, of course, ended with a sense of inexplicable dread for everyone. Especially when they woke up to find themselves in long, thin, cramped rooms, with only candlelight to give them any illumination.

Yes. Unfortunately, that dream had not been a dream at all, much as you might have hoped. You are here, now, inside an old, decrepit house where you have been given what appears to be a permanent residency. While you apparently have a power to aid you, it's no comfort. You have no option to leave, you have no way to escape, and the rules hammered to your door doesn't help the creeping sense of doom pooling in your stomach.

...

Now.

Where are those two figures that had greeted you to begin with?]

Well now, I don't mind "Sir."

[He kind of has a shit eating grin at that. But it drops off a moment later, and he cocks his head to the side.]

Kirogi. That's the name. You can say that instead of "Steward one" or whatever!

[There is a metaphorical whooshing sound effect as Krone activates an emergency eyewash to douse the spark of ire in her eyes. Then.]

I see. [Outright conversational at this point.] Should I take it for granted your sister would count your numbers the same way?

["Kirogi" seems satisfied with the tiny rise he got out of her. At her question, he hesitates for just a second as if confused, before realizing (that she was listening when he spoke through the web? something else?) but nevertheless he scowls after that.]

Listen! I'm the only one who can call her "sis", you get that right? She's "Our Lady" to the rest of you. Including the shitty old prune.

[joinhands]

?

[She was at the outskirts of that whole dining room lecture and gathered bits and pieces - that she's now obviously realizing she's put together in the wrong order.]

I do beg your pardon! I thought it was "you and your sister" [she makes bickering hand puppets] underneath the Lady, like so. [Maru above where the puppets bickered.] It's my sincere misunderstanding.

[...Well, at least this gets him to raise a fist to his mouth and snicker into it. He's assuming she thought the other steward was a sister then. That's a hilarious mental image.]

Pfft. Oh yeah? Fine! As long as you remember next time.
