[GC] A Game of Children IC (introduction)

[Lichtenhart]

As soon as Tommy sees the girl she runs to her and gives her a great hug, as Chester joyfully barks at her wagging his tail.
"Oh I'm so happy to see someone alive." says as he wipes the last tears from his eyes.
"My name's Tommy and he's Chester and... what happened to your hair?"

 

[Sixchan]

Aska tuned her eyes upward. "This? I think it was magic from the attack. I think its sort of nice. The others say my eyes are purple now, too. I never liked brown as a colour." Momentarily, she looked downward slightly, and shook her head. She looked back at the boy. "I'm Aska. Are you injured?"

 

[Lichtenhart]

"Yes, you look good." Tom smiles at her, feeling her pain. "Are there others?"

 

[Sixchan]

"They are inside. But there is a ghost there too. Are you sure you want to go in?" asked Aska.

 

[Lichtenhart]

"A ghost?! You sure? and what they're doing with the ghost?"

Tommy pets Chester then enter the temple, and when he's convinced that's really a ghost he'll try to listen very carefully to the spirit.

"Maybe we should lite some candles for all the people who died."

 

[Timothy]

Thj Ghost looks up form his job as soon as hears the children. Whe he turns around you see a gaping wound on his shoulder (think sixth sense).

A.. Alive! But you childeren are still alive. Then there is still hope!

Greetings childeren, I'm brother Farrel. what are you doing here? how did you survive the disaster that swept down upon us? It's so good to say that not eveyone has bee destoyed.

But you have cried, and you are wounded! come, huddle up in front of the altar, and pray to Illmater that he will take away your burdens for a while.

But some of you have been bound allready, is there someone else alive? Who bonded your wounds?

Ah There is still hope!

 

[GWolf]

A ghost.

Fritz stares at the ghost for a moment. "Pray we may, and the one who bound us is aska, one of our own. Brother ,what has happend here?"

 

[EvilMountainDew]

Damien walks up to the ghost, and takes his grip off of his club, "You seem good-hearted, could you explain what happened?"

After he is answered he will pray in front of the alter.

 

[Sixchan]

Aska stepped back into the temple during the speech. As it finished, she stared for some time before speaking. "So you can speak. I am Aska, and I've done my best to keep the injured alive." She looked to the altar. "I do not serve your god. I will not bow to him. I shall carry my burden if bowing to a god of suffering is what is required to lift it. And you say there is hope. Hope for what? That we might live a little longer before some monster in the wilderness eats us alive? What are your hopes, dead priest?" She didn't move an inch towards the altar.

 

[Timothy]

The ghostly priest smiles down on the children that pray in front of the altar. He wants to begin with a story, when Aska steps into the temple.

After listening to Aska the ghosts says to her and the rest of the childeren.

So much distance little one. You shouldn't be so defensive. I am only here to help you. My god is a good god, who seeks to relive the suffering of people. You do have to bow down before him, that is your own choice. But what wisdom is there to be found in keeping help away from you? Ah, but I forget I am speaking to a child. Listen, little one, let me help you, for you have helped enough for now. Just sit down and let your worries float away for now.

And hope? While there is life there will always be hope.

While spaeking, the priest slowly floated to Aska and stretched out his hands, so that Aska can grab it.
