Hello. I'm looking for magnets. Or people with powers(?) relating to magnetism. Additionally a pickaxe. There was only a shovel inside the general store. I promise to return it.




Also, metalworking. It feels questionable to ask for a blacksmith in the absence of fire.
Is there anyone that could teach me?

[pearlstrings]

Yes.

Unless you have a map, which would expedite the process considerably.

[evulsed]

Nobody has that kind of map.

Better be careful you don't dig up something you won't like.

[pearlstrings]

That's certainly a possibility. On both counts.

Are you worried on my behalf?

[evulsed]

No.

But it'll be pretty embarrassing to get yourself killed your first week here.

[pearlstrings]

We've been lead to believe that all of us are already dead. Surely it can't be more embarrassing than that.

[evulsed]

You're awake, stupid. That means you can be more dead than you already are.

[pearlstrings]

I take it you speak from personal experience.

[evulsed]

You could just run into the woods and find out on your own if you don't believe me.

[pearlstrings]

My interests are a little more refined than that, but I suppose it's possible that they will lead me into the woods.

Have you walked through them?

[evulsed]

A few of us have.

Everyone will tell you to take back up.

It's better if someone moves slower than you.

[pearlstrings]

Would you like to come then?

As back up.

[evulsed]

I'm definitely not slower than you.

[pearlstrings]

Then if push comes to shove it'll be a very interesting race.

Is that a yes?

[evulsed]

Depends on where you go.

But don't think I won't leave you behind.

[pearlstrings]

I understand. I haven't asked for any promises.

Where are you unwilling to go?

[evulsed]

North.

[pearlstrings]

[Towards the beacon, then. And the keeper.]


That's fine. I have no intention of heading towards the light.
