[ We're getting off to a great start, by which I mean, of course, a terrible one. All of my pc starters really are just establishing Daan in a blanket which is a little embarrassing, but overpowers the mortifying ordeal of being known. ]
...We're no closer to expanding our boundaries, are we...
[ We're still stuck here in our circle. ]
...It's already the fourth day.
[ He says that with a particular sense of distance. ]

[Oh hey, the eyepatch guy. Erin sits nearby]
Yeah, we have been here for enough time -- but if we escape, others will take our place. War warned me of that.
[Erin turns her head to look at him]
No judgment: if you had a way to escape right now, would you take it even if some random person ends up replacing you?

[ He makes a slight face. ]
I can't say I have enough comfort to be able to think beyond my own, immediate survival right now...
That would be a problem, but do you think we have what it takes to dismantle the cult itself on top of everything when we can't even escape our little circle right now?
[ He would... feel bad that someone would be in his place, but he doesn't exactly have much freedom of choice. ]

If we weren't trapped here maybe we could, but trapped as we are? That's asking for a little too much.
[As she sees it this is just stalling. Which...hey, she can't complain because it means not being sacrificed, but also if they're supposed to destroy the cult or something then...how? How are they supposed to do that?]

I got War to come to the theater. Wanted to see how they're like.
It's...
[Erin makes a face]
Their title is too big for them. Talking to them feels like talking to anyone else.
[Which is kind of a relief]

Can you imagine those four sitting around discussing who will take what nickname?
[When put like that you make them sound like dorks, Erin]

I'm pretty sure the Grim Reaper I know doesn't have any formal education of any sort. This Death should replace him.
[Because she and that reaper have a tense relationship on account of Erin's shenanigans with life and death, so she wouldn't mind to see him gone]

Yeah? Sure did.
[She didnt mispeak, she confirms]
[She didnt mispeak, she confirms]
Literal.
[Erin smiles a little because there's a bit of pride in what she'll say:]
My sister and I have bounced back and forth in life and death a few times, and that got the reaper's knickers in a twist. We're a weird case in that way. I met him during one of those times.
[It's not like everyone in her world gets to do that, hah, it's the kind of thing that happens if you're (un)lucky enough to be a recurring character in this kind of canon, yup -- and in Erin's sister's case, the most popular main character]

...it just happens...look, it just does. Long stories, and I'm not sure how to even begin.
[Erin sighs, exasperated]
Things just happen! For example, just to remember an incident...
Ten years ago my sister got murdered, some old guy used necromancy on her, and she was around as a sapient zombie for a few days, got an old room and then a job as some guy's secretary for very shady illegal commerce operations, but she started to lose her mind because she was a necromanced zombie, and then in a golf trip she bit into her boss' brain and then she got struck by lightning while madly trying to drive away in the golf cart, and that lightning strike revived her.

Okay, I think I'm starting to see why the reaper is exasperated.
[Her canon's happenings are so crazy when she puts them like this]

I have... many questions, but I think asking them won't help me understand the logic here regardless. There's a sapient dog, a red horned woman, and a man who appears to be made of metal with us.
[ So. For his own sanity, maybe he should just accept that lightning turned a zombie into... a normal woman? If he's understanding this right? ]
...Were they both alright?

[Yeah, he understood it right]
Yeah, they're fine. My sister just keeps trucking on despite losing that job, and her boss apparently only got the 90% of the brain you don't use eaten, so he still is exactly as normal.
[Erin, the 'you only use 10% of your brain' is a myth, but alright. Important thing is that both survived that arc]
Knowing the things I have seen and lived through, I kinda expect this Scawwy place to turn out weirder than it already is. For your sake better hope it doesn't.
[It's bad if Scawwy takes such wacky shape it could be an arc of her canon, and knowing what I know of Fear and Hunger, it also is bad if it takes shape of happenings of Daan's canon.
Odds are, these two are doomed, haha]

[ Erin probably takes the cake for most insane world he's heard about so far. Wowie.
He looks a bit taken aback at 'for YOUR sake', but he says nothing. ]
...The expectation for normalcy is low, huh.
Still... you seem to be handling it rather well, Ms. Winters.

I think it's mostly defiance. That's my way of coping.
[She's definitely the sort to use anger as her way of handling the trials and tribulations life throws at her]
You...you're doing nicely too, really. You've kept your wits. That's strength.
[There, a compliment!]

[ So she lives out of spite. That's hilarious. Daan looks like he's torn between feeling vaguely amused and not. Distracted by her actually complimenting him though. He looks like he really didn't expect it? ]
...Thanks. Might be the bare minimum here, but we all have to start somewhere.
