I'm in midst of developing a map of the area and would appreciate any information that could be added to it, especially concerning the locations where monsters or other threats have been cited.

Most monsters seem to stick to the caves, and only really seem to wander out if we get too close. I haven't really encountered many in the city.

That's promising. Unfortunately we cannot stay solely within the city limits. Needs must.

I'm afraid I don't know your name. I'm Maketh Tua.

We've been fine in the city so far.

And I'm Sharon.

You think this will last?

Pleased to meet you, even under these conditions.

It's lasted for awhile now, and I can't see it changing too much any time soon. As long as Hope is around, things will probably stay the same.

I have trouble relying on the whims of so called gods. Contingency plans ought to be made.

Well, right now, everything you need to survive is brought in by a god, so you better start thinking.

I am thinking. About what happens when they get bored with us.

I don't think that's something we have to worry about. They're not huge fans of us, anyway, but they need us: we are basically emotional energy buffets for them, after all.

Yes. How comforting.

Nothing in this shit hole is comforting.

(sarcasm doesn't come over well in text)

Of course not. Depending on something with undefined power for survival never could be.

That was kind of what I was getting at, but yeah, cool, you get it.

(Guess who didn't expect to be agreed with. It takes Maketh a moment to respond.)

I see.

Good. You're intelligent. That's helpful.

Thanks? I guess.

In any case, I don't have anything to add to your map. I explored a cave to the west, but I must have gone in a circle because I ended up right where I started. I used red paint to mark the entrance, and path I took.

[ she couldn't remember from memory, not with monsters hunting her down, so paint marking it was, and mapping requires way more knowledge than she has. ]

I'll look for it when I go out later. Thank you.

No problem. Keep a look out for monsters. The worst one I encountered in that area coughs before it tries to wrap you up in it's fucking tongue.
