[While some may be quicker to recognize Ravine on her not-scary-demon state, the background in where she holds the camera of her phone displays someplace else that can only be familiar if you squint hard enough and notice the labels on some of those cans. Shelves and various items from the shop have been flung and cast aside every which way, and Ravine appears to be too ~~old~~ tired to properly deal with this shit.]

"Greetings." [She opens with a pleasant enough welcome, but this clearly isn't going to be some casual vlog.] "It would appear as though my... condition over the previous few days has caused some unrest among the old locals -- the ones who inhabited this place and city before, that is to say. I believe the self-proclaimed 'gods' have called them hosts."

[She frowns, more than sympathetic to the dead that remain uneasy in their incorporeal state. Behind Ravine, the door to the shop creaks open, sliding some canned goods across the floor.]

"I am attempting to quell their distress. In the meantime, however, some of you may be witness some peculiar activities in your midst. Do not be afraid, as the hosts mean no harm. In the unlikely event that they become unruly or dangerous, call me and I shall speak with them to the best of my abilities."

[Just before the end, the door behind her slams shut, and a window shatters elsewhere.]

[ooc: This is a little mini-plot for those who want to interact with the freaked out ghosts of the gods' former hosts that Ravine is trying to speak with. You can either hit her up here or the open log I just put up as well + see more info about what's going on in the notes section!]

[Oh, it's the psychopomp lady, Ravine. Looks like something kinda weird is going on with her, but he doesn't quite grasp what it is from that short video.]

Everything okay? [that's important to ask. but also:] What are you talking about? "Unrest"? Aren't they all dead?

They are -- but, by all counts, so am I.

[Obviously Psychopomps are special cases from most restless spirits trapped in the place between life and death.]

More like ghosts than hosts, don't you think?

Technically speaking, that is what they would be currently, yes. So if you see any floating books around, you know who it will be.

[It happens.]

I don't expect we'll be seeing any of that with the library gone. Wonder if they could even read the books.

[Since no one in Hadriel seems to be able to.]

Probably not! The books came in through the Door, just like everyone else.

[Because of course Ravine would know this. Of course she would.]

Figures. Given the way the, er... technology they've come up with is, I thought they might've put 'em together themselves.

[By magic, which probably would make just as much sense as the junk-filled insides of the mopeds.]

They tried. Gold star for effort.

[More like the gods didn't really try at all.]

Although some of those books were empty altogether, so points docked for lack of real trying.

Maybe they were expecting us to fill them in. Make this world of theirs our own in some way.

That Hope has not thought to reconstruct the library since its destruction would render the effort obsolete, do you not agree?

Guess he realized that with all the events they subject us to, most of us aren't in the mood for writing.

Oh, you seem to underestimate the verbosity of some when they go through unpleasant experiences. There are people who could very well benefit from a literary outlet.

Are you one of them?

Who, me? Of course not, that would be silly. I was never one of those diary-holding types -- I was scarcely literate!

[Sad but true. And language became pretty obsolete after she died.]

You could always find someone to do it for you. I'll bet you've got some real tales to tell.

[Frankly, folks could use better hobbies in Hadriel. And he could use some reading material that isn't reports.]

[She laughs once.]

Wouldn't you like to know? [Hey, maybe he does. Don't judge, Ravine.]

If you need some help trying to calm them down, I can see if I can help. [It's what he did back home, in any case.]

It certainly can't hurt. I would appreciate a little assistance, since I am spread rather thin here.

[This was what Ravine did in her world as well, but she had help back then, too. She may be one of the few reapers left, but she isn't the only one.]

Then I'll do what I can.
