[ it's good to be back here, despite all of the terrible things about scawwy. alfyn is clearly reacting to it differently from pickles, finding comfort in the proximity of people, perhaps starved for it.

but he'd still take the contact even if he wasn't. ]

Yeah. It's just... I was goin' from the village to the island, first thing in the mornin'. We were together for a little after we got through the fog, then got separated, and I was alone for a real long, long time after that.

[good alfyn, let's just relax while recounting the horrors. she's not going anywhere, but she's definitely listening.]

That doesn't sound very good. [lightly, because you know. sometimes you wander into fog and get separated. she isn't sure how to feel about that.] Did you recognize where you were at all? Or was it all just inside the fog?

Just some woods from what I could tell. [ a shake of his head, running his thumb absently along the outside edge of the cut across his face. ] Could've been the trees of the village, but I don't think so. It wasn't like any back home, either, and then it all just... came to a castletown with white stone walls. I saw Tot, first, before we found the others.

But I'd never been there before, and the place was empty - the streets, anyhow. We saw folks hidin' in their houses, but I don't blame 'em. It took a bit of time for us to realize, but the guards patrolin' the streets were undead, like the ones we saw on Sunday.

[she's listening to all of this fairly calmly, but she does raise her eyebrows in mild alarm. hello? what?]

A castletown...? What...who were they even trying to guard? What were they looking for? [and WHY WERE THEY ZOMBIES.]
