[a little after the locations are revealed, shadowheart can be found in the church. she's changed into a change of clothes, and she clearly thinks she's alone. she's got a glass with her that seems like it came from the bar, and she's standing on one of the pews, inspecting one of the axolotl windows up close carefully, running a finger along the glass.

and then she appears to be startled when someone comes in after her.]

Ah, hello! I was just looking for someplace to be alone with my thoughts for a moment.

[boxcar]

[ He walks in and everything is so much here. It's cute as hell though. Why can't his god be the Salmonsnake. ]

Oh -- sorry. I can leave if you wanted the place to yourself.

[sacredpath]

That's alright. I found myself distracted from such thoughts upon finding that this was a church to a salamander.

[is it cute...]

[boxcar]

It's cute... erm.

[ Ahem. ]

I'm not sure if it's meant to be serious or not.

[sacredpath]

I certainly hope it isn't. But there are some stupid religions out there, it stands to reason. When there are so many stupid people to believe.

[boxcar]

I don't see any believers but the place looks clean.

...

Everywhere does, even though it's just us. Actually I think it's the other people that are making everything messier.

[sacredpath]

The other people? Who do you mean?

[boxcar]

Like how someone clogged a bathroom... someone has broken things and set stuff on fire.

I don't know if it's the same person.

[sacredpath]

Ah, yes. I almost find it comforting. Yesterday, speaking with everyone - most of us were so level-headed about death. Though I can't say I endorse clogging toilets and setting fires, it's good to know not all of us are so easily appeased.

[boxcar]

You think it was a retaliation gesture?

...

They could have at least not specifically picked the only unlocked stall.

[ Alas with every game we truly deserve toilets less and less. ]

I am not happy about this either.

[sacredpath]

The lack of toilets, or dying?

[lightly. she knows he means dying.]

[boxcar]

... Both.

[ He would have said dying but honestly the other thing kind of sucks too. ]

[sacredpath]

Both.

[but there's little they can do about the toilets.]

I'm - I didn't think it would end that way. I don't know what I was thinking, really.

[boxcar]

Me neither.

[ Grim, but he's no good with words so he doesn't elabourate much more. ]

What happened to you?

[sacredpath]

[she has to consider her answer.]

I had a task to fulfill. I failed at it. Or, perhaps it would be more accurate to say, I faltered. I wanted answers, so I hesitated at a critical moment, and now I'm here, with no answers to speak of.

[boxcar]

I understand. I'm not looking for answers, but I also hesitated, and it was a mistake.

It isn't easy, sitting around after something like that.

[sacredpath]

[aww man. sympathy.]

...No. I want the chance to either make it right, or get those damn answers. Either way. But this, it being over, I cannot accept.

[boxcar]

That is a good attitude to have. A true warrior doesn't give up.

It is confusing now but it can't stay that way forever. We will figure something out.

[sacredpath]

Do you really think so? You are a reassuring one.

[boxcar]

I do.

[ If nothing else he is good at not being a downer... wow! ]

If we can get answers to some questions today, we can get answers to more questions tomorrow. So... hang in there. It's not good to dwell much.

[ Even if it is in the face of a stained glass axolotl. ]

[sacredpath]

If only there was more to do than get lost in my thoughts...

[she never claimed to be an optimist. definitely isn't one.]

[boxcar]

If you need somebody to talk to, I'm always around.

[let's use the new locations so this is out near the entrance to the lighthouse, but shadowheart has stopped her exploring around when she's suddenly been overcome by affection week. she hears a chirping sound from a bush as the owlbear cub comes trundling back out from whatever pile of trash it was rooting around, some french fries in his mouth.

and shadowheart instantly starts talking to him in a baby voice]

There you are! Getting into trouble, are you? Don't get me kicked out of here, please.

[she will also throw her arms around his fluffy neck and start petting his feathers while she continues to baby voice at him.]

[boxcar]

[ He walks into this and he does not feel any semblance of feeling like he walked into anything he should not see. This is respectable behaviour. She's right. ]

What is that?

[sacredpath]

Is that so. There really are wonderful amenities here.
