[ Lenalee hides a smile and takes the bucket and sets it outside the door before closing it. She'll later bring it with her. ] I don't think any of us are supposed to be here, but we are, because someone pulled us here.

[ She pulls out her communication device. ] This ought to give you most of the information. [ This was what two of her friends had come up with. ]

[action]

[seadweller]

Do we know who?

[Being given the information post, Feferi spends a few minutes reading over everything included. So that's who the strange looking girl was that had sent her to this room. Huh.]

...How many people are here then? And.. have you seen any of my friends? They will be trolls not humans, so they should stand out pretty well!

[action]

[chrysalis_ex]

Would you believe me if I said ghosts? Or things like ghosts?

Hm... [ She tries to count. ] About twenty people? Not a lot of us. Sometimes there's more, sometimes there's even less.

[ Lenalee shakes her head at the last question. ] No, I haven't. But...I'm guessing they look like you? [ Or similar? ]

[action]

[seadweller]

I'd believe you! Ghosts are real things, after all.

[Nodding]

They have grey skin, and orange horns! There's nobody like that here?

[action]

[chrysalis_ex]

After a couple experiences with them, I've come to believe them. [ A grimace.

And she has to shake her head again. ] No, no one like that, sorry. [ A pause. ] They just might appear here. There's a couple people from my world here.

[action]

[seadweller]

Hmm.. okay.. I guess I will just have to wait for them to show up, then!

[She probably seems a lot more cheerful that one should in this situation, but hey, being here beats being dead right?]

So what happens in this place? Why are we here?

[action]

[chrysalis_ex]

I feeling they might.

[ Considering how death isn't a permanent thing here, then yes, it's better. ]

We're here because we're...toys. [ Grimace. ] And nothing much happens except during the weeks when Libitina "plays" with us. It could be from anything, like messing with your heads, to ghosts...and other things.

[action]

[seadweller]

So we're just meant to stay here and wait for someone to do cruel things to us?

Can't we just leave nd go back to where we came from?

[action]

[chrysalis_ex]

They won't let you go back, that's the problem. People have tried one way or the other already... [ It's a frustrating thing to be like a sitting duck. ]

[action]

[seadweller]

So I just have to... stay here? And do nothing?

[action]

[chrysalis_ex]

...Ah. Sort of... [ Apologetically. ] We're just the entertainment.

[action]

[seadweller]

That sounds... boring. What do you do to stop yourselves from going crazy?

[action]

[chrysalis_ex]

It...can be boring. [ As for things to do... ] Try to learn the language, try to grow things here...explore...

Anything except trying to get killed, to be honest.

[action]

[seadweller]

It doesn't sound too different to what I left. Before I died, I mean!

[action] pretend this isn't ridiculously late ;;

[liltingly]

...you died?
