[text] @clickfly; I have received a fortune message [open]
I am Merwen, for those whom I have not yet shared meeting. I am hoping to share knowledge.
I received a message from an unliving doll. I thought it was meant to be a prediction, but it seems to be more a description of a place.
I am still recently arrived, and I do not know Beacon well enough to think where this place might be, or if this is a place I should seek out.

If you've got things you want to get rid of or you want to look for treasure among what others have left behind, there's a place where you can refuel in between two places where both actions can be done.

Thank you. Not everyone who dies, comes back. And I'd hate to lose you, Merwen.
no subject
I don't share fear of my own death, not here, not when I'm already dead and caught here instead of moving on. We never truly lose the ones we love, even if we grieve for the loss of a soul in the shape we know. The soul is more permanent than that.
But I am also not in a hurry to meet my death, even if I don't fear it.
no subject
Good. I had to learn that, myself. I died twice and people were very, very upset, so I have to try not to do that again. It might happen, because my job is to protect people. But I have to try.
no subject
[She looks squarely at him.]
I don't want you ever to hasten death in my defence. If I am to promise not to hasten my own death, I would ask that you share your own promise in return.
no subject
It's a brief flicker of expression, though, before they sigh and just look vaguely resigned, instead.]
I will try. Same as you. But if something is trying to kill people right in front of me, I'm. Gonna make sure they don't do that. I can't not. It's hard-wired.
no subject
[But honestly, she's feeling pretty reassured by the whole conversation.]
no subject
Should I be called Soldat the one who isn't allowed to die again?
[It sounds kind of sad, rather than light, but it's an attempt.]
no subject
I wouldn't complain, but try to outlive the first name you gave yourself before you take on anymore.
no subject
Wasn't planning on changing it again, really... I don't know what else I'd call myself. I can't. Hear my old one anymore.
[(Y'do still freak out a little at this one, champ. Just the once. Yeah, well, it's still somethin' to think about.)]
no subject
I know. No one is asking you to change anything.

[Merwen shrugs a little.]
no subject
Okay. We're on borrowed time, anyway. Might not have time to outlive a name.
