What: arrival, investigation

flower shop/inn

[ it's lucky that Tear's found herself a job pretty much off the bat. working in a flower shop is a lot different from her duties as a soldier, but it's not bad. it's actually nice. ... strange, though, when she comes to her room each night and finds letters addressed from... someone? they're love confessions, too. ]

... Excuse me, [ she says to the nearest person she finds, holding the letter up, ] you wouldn't happen to know who's been leaving these, would you?

beach

[ it's warm, but it's nothing Tear can't handle. she actually thinks the beach is lovely, with the curious shells (she's picked up a few, herself) and-- ]

HEY SWEETCHEEKS, WHY DON'T YOU SHARE SOME OF THAT ICE CREAM WITH US? YOU COULD LAY OFF THE SWEETS ONCE IN A WHILE, YOU KNOW!

[ ugh. ]

Was that really necessary? [ she calls up at them, looking completely exasperated and done with the whole thing.

additionally, she can be found strolling along the beach, which is where she spends quite a bit of her free time. ]

I study with notes, but I'll pass on handwriting essays.

[whopraysfor]

That's fair. Especially the long ones.

[ninetyninelives]

There were a lot of those.

[whopraysfor]

There are more in college. And they are longer.

[ninetyninelives]

I can't go to college.

[whopraysfor]

Why not?

[ninetyninelives]

I'm stuck on the Magician's World now.

[whopraysfor]

Well, right now, you're here.

[ninetyninelives]

Is there college here? ...Is there high school?

[whopraysfor]

Well... no. I have some books.

[ninetyninelives]

I work at the library, that's close, maybe?

[whopraysfor]

I can make up some reading lists, if you like. I work there too.

[ninetyninelives]

Sure! No reason to waste an education.

[whopraysfor]

The Master's degree has to be good for something.

[ninetyninelives]

What's your Master's in?

[whopraysfor]

Theology. I was in seminary.

[ninetyninelives]

Huh. Fun fact for you, in some worlds, reincarnation is real and confirmed?

[whopraysfor]

Confirmed how?

[That's interesting, even if Zack doesn't believe in it himself, and it would require a major working of Christian theology. Because he's open to the idea that humans can get God will wrong.]

[ninetyninelives]

[raises his hand[

By it happening to me.

[whopraysfor]

Seriously?

[ninetyninelives]

It was very painful.

[whopraysfor]

Dying often is. Unless you mean coming back...

[he's pretty skeptical; sure, this is some weird stuff, but plenty of people on Earth say they remember past lives.]

[ninetyninelives]

No, I was a special case. My soul was torn into two pieces in the process.
