She was one of Ravi's friends, from Righteous Dawn. A cleric. Rachel played her.

[deselfing]

Ah... I don't know who Rachel is, either.

[inchesofevil]

Xdav flew her out here to claim a prize she won during an event, and she vanished a couple days later. Showed up in Bastan. She was one of the first we found out about.

[deselfing]

Really? [ ah, she remembers this being talked about on the forums, and bits and pieces of the conspiracy ]

The Ahura plush winner?

[inchesofevil]

Yeah, that was her.

She was taking care of Lindsey's son after he crossed over, too.

[deselfing]

[ oh, that she heard about. duncan's mentioned sam a few times in conjunction with lindsey. ]

Is she around Bastan still?

[inchesofevil]

She was killed during the invasion, unfortunately.

[. . .]

[can he res Rachel...?]

[deselfing]

I see.

[ all of these people she doesn't know and never will because they're dead.

it doesn't really prompt any feeling... ]

You'll be staying in Bastan now, I suppose?

[inchesofevil]

Not much choice in the matter.

I should have some freedom of movement once things get settled though.

[deselfing]

I'll continue to look for places to move to. I'd like to keep close to Bastan.

How is Missie?

[inchesofevil]

[close to Bastan--so it's easier for them to see each other?]

[he approves :> ]

Ah I wish I could help you look. Bydell's probably worth checking out, at least.

[well hello there guilt, we sure have been spending a lot of time together lately]

She's...better. She's getting used to it.

Do you want to visit her? Might help cheer her up a little.

[deselfing]

The price is fine, and the area looks nice, but it's got acreage... after an apartment, I wouldn't know what to do with all that space.

[ hm, visiting missie... she usually isn't the proactive one, but she supposes missie isn't in the best position for it right now. ]

I could. Are you sure it would be all right, though?

[inchesofevil]

I grew up with acreage. I'm sure we can think of something.

Yeah, she won't mind.

Ah shit I think I forgot to tell her we're dating

[deselfing]

Ah, right. Emus. No emus.

Oh. Is it important to?

[inchesofevil]

No motherfucking emus, signed.

Aw who am I kidding she won't be mad that I didn't tell her right away, she'll just be excited that it happened at all.

[deselfing]

I see. [ she doesn't understand any of that ] Will you tell her then?

[inchesofevil]

Yeah I can call to let her know, I guess.

She needs some good news.

[deselfing]

If it will be good news, then I think you should.

I will see about visiting.

[ she taps at her phone, backspacing and typing and backspacing indecisively for a few moments ]

And let me know when you are free to visit as well.

[inchesofevil]

You got it.
