"Deep in earth my love is lying 🥀 And I must weep alone."

Who: Wendy, her ghostly sister, and you
Which: Open Log
Warnings: Wendy frequently mentions the macabre, themes of death, mourning and violence may come up


Where: Reverein
What: In town, a lone child wanders around and explores, donning a mourning veil. She's asking for help getting equipped for winter!


Quite unlike the world Wendy had been trapped in before, the presence of a town was something to immediately take advantage of. Cradling the silken red flower containing her sister's soul in her hands, Wendy was traveling between each building open to anyone, hoping to take advantage of what was here. On her back was a large sack woven from grass and reeds, though it was currently quite empty.

Her first bit of luck is getting a winter coat from a seamstress, one that's several sizes too large for her but nonetheless will help keep her warm. Blowing soft puffs of warm air on her fingers to ease the chill, she moved on, careful not to accidentally step into someone else's path.

Catching the fact that a stranger's gaze was upon her, she approached, staring with eyes slightly too eerie and hollow to truly belong to a kid. "Excuse me. Is there a method of currency here, or particular item for trade? I don't have anything, yet, but it's quite cold."


Where: Outskirts of Reverein, near the lake
What: Wendy and her ghostly sister Abigail are working on crafting a base outside of town for survival


To anyone familiar with the struggles of wilderness survival, the appearance of several things between Reverein and its lake made quite a bit of sense - baited rabbit traps woven out of long grass, trees chopped and saplings stripped, rocks disturbed and dug up from scavenging for the right size and shape for tools...

At the center of all of this activity is a massive firepit, circled with heavy stones to keep fire from spreading. It was currently lit, but low, at the moment only serving to slowly cook a few tiny fish that had been fished up from the lake. Sitting atop a stump nearby was the young Wendy, wearing a simple scarf even in the frigid chill of the outdoors. She's preoccupied with crafting something - but whoever approaches will first be 'greeted' by a frightful ghost popping up in front of their path and interceding them from approaching Wendy. There's a supernatural chill in the air, and a glowering, pinkish glow, but it subsides the moment Wendy simply says, "It's okay, Abigail."

Della couldn't say she was comfortable with kids killing anyone, but then again, Della and her family had abandoned the cursed pirates on that island and there was no guarantee they'd survive in those new forms...

... Leeeet's focus on something else. Like, spotting buildings up ahead! Very good! And puns! Everybody loves puns!

"Sounds like it was really driving you bananas." Insert pathetic womp-womp trombone noise. "And you didn't wanna monkey around."

"Well, I am a parent," Della says, slowing down her walk now that they were approaching civilization. "Lame jokes and puns are part of the package. You can count on me for those... and for help, and for knowledge, and... y'know what? How about you two can count on me for anything?"

Not an exaggeration. If these babies needed her kidney, she'd rip it right out.

Della would have let Wendy ride her back all day long, but if Wendy wanted down, down she went. "If you say so... but the offer, and my door, is always open."

Once Wendy was down, Della shot some finger guns at Abigail. "And that includes you too! I don't know what I can do for a ghost, but it'll be fun to find out!"
