AM I DEAD? [action] [audio]
WHO: Lydia and whoever is around
WHERE: The Bay
WHEN: after midnight
WHAT: her first day at Genessia
When she finally woke up, her eyes were still heavy and it took awhile for her to blink the dreams away so she didn't realize that she was somewhere that was not her dark room at first. It was a little cold so she figured she had kicked her covers off again and tried to curl up to hold onto that last bit of warmth but her hands slid against something cold, something that didn't feel like her bed at all. Then she realized that the thing over her head wasn't the ceiling.
Her first official thought was that she was dead and buried and this was her coffin. It was brighter than she would have liked, so white. Her stepmother most likely had something to do with the design. How disappointing. For waking up in her own coffin, she felt unusually calm and was about to try and fall back asleep when the sound of water had her lifting her head.
That's when she sees the box. It doesn't look like one of her's, which makes her curious. Her first order of business is to open it and when she's gone through all the contents, she goes from curious to confused. And she thought she had known what to expect from Death. Gathering everything back into the box, she tests her coffin and discovers it's not much of one and she's not buried at all but sitting in some kind of weird cocoon in a cave of all places.
Creepy, Lydia thought with a grin as she began to venture out of the cave, picking the third doorway, box tucked to her chest. There were other cocoons in the cave but she was too shy and a bit apprehensive to check any of them. On her way out, she decided to try and give the walkie-talkie a try and see if her friends were around. It took her a few minutes but she was finally able to get it to work-
"Hello? Barbara? Adam? Are you out there?" The static response wasn't encouraging so she kept making her way down the watery hall, anxious and excited about whatever she might find.

Re: [Action]
He spoke strangely and she wondered if he was a completely different world. Or a different time? She hadn't heard of any mountain people with purple hair. Or of a place called Magvel.
"A sage? Weird. But weird is cool." She didn't want him to think otherwise. Not that her opinion mattered since obviously he had been doing this sort of thing for awhile. "You study magic sooo anyone can learn it? There's an actual school for it?"
[Action]
Saleh has seen far more strange things in Luceti, so he's learned...a lot, to say the least.
"Yes, anyone can learn magic if they put forth the effort. I don't believe there are schools for it, however. Most people either study on their own, or learn with private tutoring. I have a student of my own in Magvel."

She decided now was a good time to go through the contents of her box. It was apparently supposed to be helpful. The walkie-talkie had been silent for awhile so she stuck that and the flier in one of her dress pockets. "So everyone got the same package? Not very original." She flipped through the pamphlet, noticing the part about getting a job and money. "Have you met anyone else here?"
[Action]
"I can cast various nature-based spells, as well as light-based spells. I can also heal wounds with my staff."
And to show her, he brought out his staff, and the blue orb began to glow.
"Not very original? Well, it's better than nothing. It may not be much, but I'm grateful for what I can get."
Which is how he's lived throughout his life, appreciating the little things.
"Meeting anyone else? Not really. I've spoken to a few, but haven't gotten to really know one another..."
Re: [Action]
"You can heal yourself?" Lydia was astonished and smiled. "How convenient." Wish she'd had him around when she'd fallen down the stairs and skinned her thighs. "Well I hope this Harry person isn't some sort of scammer. Think I've got enough of those in my life."
[Action]
If only Saleh knew that she thought they were dead, he'd gladly correct her. He'd been dead once, and it...wasn't pretty.
"I mostly heal others...but I can heal myself if my injuries aren't too serious. Healing takes a great deal of concentration, so if I am too injured to concentrate, then I would need aid from another healer."
He gave only a slight smile back. Smiling was never his strong suit.
"Indeed. We'll see when we meet him."
