Has anyone found a way to burn things yet?

[ The voice that comes over the network is clearly exhausted, an almost husky rasp to the words that are slightly muffled, as if her mouth might be covered by a layer of fabric. ]

Because I'd love to get rid of these damn flowers and burning them sounds really cathartic right now.

[ She sounds weary, frustrated, and a little bit sick. And for good reason: one of the perks of being a vampire is an enhanced sense of smell. ]

Alternatively, are there any magic users out there who could set up a ward or something to keep this smell out?

Is it something that can be demonstrated, here? To see something like that with my own eyes... thought I suppose it can't be any stranger than being here, in this place, ourselves.

[otrazhenie]

Some people here still have access to their magic. It's not working like it should, though. Not all the time. But I'm sure someone would be willing to show you what they can do.

[isochrone]

That's one thing I can say about this place... everyone I've spoken to has been very accommodating.

[otrazhenie]

I'm not gonna lie, there are some people here who aren't the most charming, but I think most everyone realizes we're all stuck here together. It'll be easier to make it through this if we all at least act like we're on the same side.

[isochrone]

[ curiously: ] Have you been here very long?

[otrazhenie]

[ She sighs quietly. ] It's been about a month now. And I'm guessing you just arrived?

[isochrone]

Yes, that's right. It's been... [ her tone is more than a little wry ] Quite an experience so far.

[otrazhenie]

Last month wasn't quite this eventful, but something tells me this is just the start. Someone once advised me to "be flexible" with this place, so that's what I recommend to you too.

[isochrone]

Ah, well... so far the sum of events here have been caused half by the residents. I was still on the ferry when it started to sink.

[otrazhenie]

[ Yikes. ]

I'm glad you made it off okay.

[isochrone]

Thank you. Two instances of almost-drowning in the span of two days is quite simply enough for anyone.
