[ilulu]

Oh, yeah, I'll bet! Wow, I don't remember what that's like, but it must be tough.

[NEEDING FOOD.]

This is a bit of a pickle, though, huh? 'Specially if we've got people waiting on us n'all.

[tindery]

[ there goes his wondering if he was in this cage with even one more normal person

oh well ]

... you didn't like food when you were able to eat it?

[ sure. might as well ask. ]

But you're not wrong. We finally know what we're here for and they won't let us go get it? What the hell...

[ilulu]

No clue! We Purgatorians don't remember our mortal lives, y'see. [Well. She does a little, but it's complicated.] Don't worry, though! I'm sure we'll figure out how to get outta here right quick. Four soulzies are better than one!

[tindery]

... I'll hope your optimism counts for something.

[ it won't. they will be stuck here for four days. ]

What's your name?

[ilulu]

I'm Ilulu! But you can call me Big Sis. [WHY WOULD HE DO THAT.] What's yours, love?

[tindery]

Tobari. Unfortunately, I'm the big brother so I probably won't be deferring to you, Sis.

[ they can be distantly related tho i guess ]

[ilulu]

[JUST ASSIGNING HIMSELF BIG BROTHER this is so funny.]

Oh, wow! Another big bro, just like Alzie!

[tindery]

[ YEAH.... ]

Is Alzie your person...?

[ her eurydice...? ]

[ilulu]

What, here? Nope! He's a lil bro at home. He's got the biggest, brightest, most radiant soulzie ever! It's soooo lovely! I'm so sad I can't give it headpats, he deserves 'em the most.

[tindery]

[ . . . this is so cute actually. he huffs and despite himself, the corner of his mouth does turn up slightly ]

... right. And being a Purgatorian, you can do that. Give 'soulzies' headpats.

[ these are words he never thought he'd say out loud ]

[ilulu]

Bingo! Exactly right! Yours deserves one too, you know? It's so pretty! You work real hard, huh?

[tindery]

I could work harder.

[ just idly ]

But thanks. I don't have any same sight, but you seem like you'd have a bright one.

[ a perky person... ]

[ilulu]

So hardworking! But don't forget resting is important too, yeah? You gotta take breaks or you won't be at your best. [Stretches up to pat his lil human head.] Ooh, I know! When we get outta here, we should go flower-picking!

[tindery]

[ he'll lean down to make it easier for her

but also: ]

You think there's flowers here?

[ unfortunately, he is interested. local man has never seen a flower meadow in his life ]

[ilulu]

Why, sure! My purgatory's full of 'em, so there's no way they don't have any in this one.

[JUST DECIDES THIS.]

[tindery]

... alright.

I'll go with you.

[ he wants to see them... ]

[ilulu]

'Course! The more the merrier!

[YEAAAAA FLOWER PICKING her Eurydice will be fine she'll understand]

[tindery]

[ glances at the other in the cage ]

I wonder if these two have seen flowers...

[ seen? like? at all? ]

[ilulu]

Ooh, if they haven't, they should definitely come with!

[JUST ASSIGNS THEM AS BEING A GROUP NOW. Why not.]

Are they rare in your world? They're everywhere in mine, 'cept for a few places!

[tindery]

... they're rare where I'm from. We're pretty isolated. We don't get much in the way of greenery.

[ so he can't help but be curious ]

What does it mean to be a Purgatorian? What's your home like?

[ilulu]

Awww... but I bet your home is beautiful in its own way! I've been to lots of different places and they've all got their charms, even the spots that are a mite tough to live in.

[And now he has the chance to see the flowers that are definitely gonna be out there somewhere!! That they will find once they're out of this cage in



four days]

Oh, we're in charge of lookin' out for all the little soulzies! Some of 'em get reincarnated later on after we reap 'em, though I'm not in charge of deciding that stuff. But Purgatory's great for us locals! We can hang out with the Great Elementals, and there's the flowers and the water, and I get to work with so many cute little juniors!

[tindery]

[ . . . well. ]

There's always people doing their best, in whatever circumstances they're in. That's what I think makes places livable.

[ but he won't really linger on that. the optimism is nice and he's actually something of an idealist himself. anyway, ]

Great elementals... Juniors... Sounds like you keep busy.

[voring]

[Glancing back over...]

Like, the kind you eat?

[tindery]

I think some can be poisonous...?

[voring]

Poison doesn't affect me, so that's fine! I'll eat 'em anyway. What flowers are we even talking about?
