at once short of life, and long of sorrow.

[You are dead.




Well, obviously. You remember how you died. It was...not fun, to say the least. But hey, at least you're off that ship, right?

Except...you don't know exactly where you are now. It seems like a house, but if it is, it's...a work in progress. Most of the rooms are empty, and your steps echo up through the marble columns and down faint mosaics on the tiled floor. The few windows you find have a green light gleaming through them; you can't really see anything beyond the eerie light.

It feels like you're in a temple of some kind. The columns and mosaics seem to indicate it is something like that-it's certainly reminiscent of something out of an ancient culture, perhaps even one you're familiar with. For some reason, though, it's clear someone-or something-lives here. One of the rooms to the south is stuffed with pizza boxes. Another, larger room has a makeshift futon in one of the corners. There are imprints of multiple footsteps all through the dusty floors as you look around, many of them leading to a small alcove to the west. And-

and there's a giant van. Just. hanging out there. Completely out of place with the seemingly ancient decor. And inside, there is the sound of light snoring.



Ok then. You're apparently not alone in death, after all.]

Um... ah..

[ The sheep gives a little shiver and seems to fall asleep, still floating. ]

[.....

Y...y'know what, he's just going to see if he can wake up the sheepy gently. if not, he's rummaging through the van for something to write with.]
countingme: (awake really)

[ It does wake up at the nudge, gently jolting. A sheep can't smile, per se, but it does waggle its tail and the voice is cheery. ]

Oh! Hi, James! How's it goin'?

....You were in the middle of seeing if there was any writing implements for me.

[Hmmmmm.....this sheep? Are they okay]

I was...?

[ It looks around. ]

Hmm. Okay, but it's really important I get the quill back when you're done with it!

[ That being said, it seems to produce a quill from its very fleece. It's attached to a long, golden feather. ]

Of course, of course.

[It's a bit outdated, but at the very least he knows how to write with a quill pen. He'll take it, giving a grateful nod.]

It'll be only gone a for a brief moment, I assure you. I'm quite fast at writing letters, despite my age!

[ Head tilt. Cheerfully: ]

You don't look that old to me!

[ But it is a sheep. What would it know? ]
