[ The video feed flickers across a warm light, then pink hair comes into view before a face follows soon after. The movement is Lightning stepping away from where she had set up the device for record. She sits down in front of the camera feed on a predetermined placed chair and holds her hands to her knees. ]

I'm Lightning. I have been here for nearly a month, or as far as I understand. The brief experience in worlds of my own, and in others, may have inflicted with the timeline. [ She shrugs. She can't be sure of anything. ] Part of me still expects to wake up, or this is some sort of manifestation of yet another false reality.

I'm assured it's not. That this is the reality we all face together.

In any case. [ She lifts her head, her eyes narrow and her tone becomes dryer. ] My purpose here may be at the hands of these divine entities; but my destiny is my own.

I encourage others to live for themselves. First. It's all we can control. It's all we can do.

I ask for those who are willing, to introduce themselves to me and share with me their experiences, thus far.

Thank you.

[ Lightning stands up and moves to the device and the video feed quickly switches off. ]

As much as I've gathered from this place thus far.. the kind of move these entities would make.

[smoketendrils]

Indeed. I have enough issues with deities without them being little shits.

[strikes_x_twice]

You have previous experience? With.. deities? From where you come from?

[smoketendrils]

I have met the Raven Queen personally at Duskmeadow... or at least have spoken to her directly. Personally implies the conversation was more pleasant than it was. And I know many who commune with gods on a daily basis in more indirect means.

I'm not fond of them. And I certainly don't believe in them the same way I doubt they believe in me.

[strikes_x_twice]

Hm. [ She finds herself wondering on his last statement. ] It just might be you'll find yourself no more fond of the gods here.

What purpose does the Raven Queen have in your world?

[smoketendrils]

She's the goddess of death. She watches over souls as they pass between this world and the next, and any unlawful disruption of that process disturbs and irritates her. And one of my family back home is her Champion.
