how are you all dealing with the ever-so-educational volcano? have you played around with the visual toggle on those collars yet? aren't they cool? aren't these peasant clothes rad? if you haven't had a decent meal since Abeo, maybe you could afford some of that authentic farm-raised meat they have here. historical!

I bet you're all excited and completely thrilled to be here! who wouldn't be? ...so, make some discoveries, make some friends, and have fun!]

Okaaaay... [ That's not crazy at all. Sure, Steph comes from a place where magic isn't unheard of, but it's not common in Gotham, and ghosts and gods... are a whole other thing. ]

You think dead people could reach her even though we're on another planet?

[puro]

[There is no way he can explain his life without sounding certifiable. He's come to accept this. ]

I don't see why not. Death is death. Even if there are separate realms, I'm sure someone would have heard of her.

[mysunnydisposition]

I don't know if that's how it works. ...not that I know how any of it works, I guess. Maybe you're right after all.

[ Pause. ]

You wanna go see if we can find a real cemetery in this place?

[puro]

I don't know either, I'm just tkaing the one chance I might have on this planet.

[Anything is better than inaction. He nods.]

Yeah, okay. I can't see why there wouldn't be one. Unless the people here don't die at all.

[mysunnydisposition]

Exactly. And if they don't, that's super creepy and I want to know why.

[ At least now she has something to look into. It's not much, but it's more to do than she had before. She smiles, and starts back for the entrance to the ruins. ]

I'm Steph, by the way. I'm sorry, I'm still learning everyone's names here...

[puro]

You say that as if this place isn't creepy already.

[What with the people living in denial and everything. He follows behind her.]

And I'm Manolo, nice to meet you.

[mysunnydisposition]

Okay, well... it is. But so far it's a nice non-threatening kind of creepy, y'know? Immortal townsfolk would be a whole other thing.

[puro]

Aside from the people made to live a lie, you mean.

[That still eats at him, a little. ]

But yes, that would be something to be very concerned with.

[mysunnydisposition]

Hmmm. [ She pauses as she steps outside, blinking in the sunlight - and it is nice, at least, to stand in real actual sunlight - and considers. ] You think it'd be any better if they knew?

[puro]

Honestly? I don't know. I've been thinking about it. It's wrong, that they're being exploited like this, but what happens if they can't handle the truth? What if it causes more harm than good?

I just wish we could help them in a way that means they could build on the truth. Make it something better for them. It feels wrong to do nothing.

[mysunnydisposition]

Yeah. I wish we knew who runs this place. Like... are they the same people who are controlling us, or... I don't know. Maybe using random people for entertainment is actually normal out here.

[puro]

If they make a moving pic- sorry, a television show out of us all, I wouldn't be surprised. Whoever runs all of this is probably holed up somewhere well out of reach.
