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

[ectoherbology]

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."

Being a seasoned explorer, Della often went to the woods for basic training and exercise. So she was rather surprised to suddenly find it inhabited! And by the newest batch of adorable little youngin's!

She waved cheerfully even after Abigail attempted to spook her. "Hey, girls!" She chirped pleasantly. "What're you two doing all the way out here?"

To a flower that's basically done everything within the mountain he dwelled in, new things were always a plus and this is definitely a new thing, this dreamworld. Flowey just couldn't help himself to explore and sate his want for new things.

It is only mildly surprising when a ghost pops up in the middle of his exploration. A ghost... now, that's familiar. But before he could greet the ghost, a nearby human interrupted. Flowey shifted his gaze past the ghost to the approaching human.

"Howdy!" he began. "So its name is Abigail?" Flowey turns to the ghost. "Howdy, Abigail. I'm Flowey. Flowey the flower!"

She isn't the only one who opted to live outside of the city--Asura had built a comfortable farmstead for himself out in the farmlands some time ago, and in the winter months when crops won't grow, he routinely patrols the edge of the Wildlands to ward off any potentially dangerous creatures that might attempt to harass Reverein and its inhabitants. The smell of smoke and cooking fish is enough to draw his attention to the small fire and the girl nearby.

A cursory glance around the site reveals that she at least knows the basics of roughing it, so when Asura steps into the light of the fire, he ignores the defensive spirit and only asks:

"Need anything?"

[As a jujutsu sorcerer who is used to sensing residual energy from ghosts and Cursed Spirits, Toge senses something peculiar about this young girl. It's not the malicious nature of Cursed Energy, but it's definitely something supernatural. As such, he can't help but be curious as he notices her wandering around town. He was willing to let it be and go about his day, but then the girl had approached him. He shakes his head.]

Bonito flakes.

[And since that... isn't really a clear response, and he knows that isn't a clear response, he lifts his hands up and gestures to her, using sign language to 'speak'.]

["Do you sign?" He isn't sure who knows and who doesn't but he's started asking people now that he has learned how to sign. If not, he still has his journal, worst case.]
