[palfriday]

[pauses

shrugs]

Well, maybe it's less work to bring someone back to life than it is to get someone new!

[wimdy]

Really… I can’t say I’d know either way, but there seems to be new people appearing by the week or even day, sometimes.

[palfriday]

Oh, gosh, don't I know it! I bring everyone to their room their first day, you know!

[wimdy]

Ehe, you sure are busy. Thanks for your help all the time~

Anyway, do you recall when I said I would look for your name in stories?

[palfriday]

[nods] Of course! Did you find it?

[wimdy]

[ he offers over ‘robinson crusoe’, bookmarked to man friday’s naming by crusoe. ] Mhm, here it is. I’ve searched many stories but I’ve only found this one, so far.

Have you read it?

[palfriday]

[she takes the book, looking over the cover.]

... Oh, gosh, I haven't heard of this one at all! I was talking about an entirely different story... What's this one about?

[wimdy]

A different one, really! [ well, he does like reading all of this new fiction to him, so. he won’t complain about doing more of that at all. ] Seems I’ll have to do more reading.

The story is about a man shipwrecked on an island, who befriended and… hmm, convinced this native ‘Friday’ to be his manservant. [ no doubt there’s a lot to be read or interpreted about friday and crusoe, but he’s a bard and not quite like, a lit grad student. still! ] I don’t suppose our Captain and Mr Crusoe are terribly similar but you are his servant, right?

[palfriday]

Oh, so that's where the Friday part comes from? I didn't know that! [she thinks...] I guess I am! Though, I didn't need any convincing; he made me for it!

[she pauses] When you were looking, did you see... There's a book of ancient myths, by a man named Ovid! One of them is about Pygmalion, and that's what the Captain was thinking about when he gave me my name!

[wimdy]

[ oh— ] I saw that one, I believe! I’d like to read everything in the library if possible, I do collect stories to tell tales. But I… perhaps I’m in the middle of this epic about a ring… [ distracted by tolkien, whoops. ] I’ll have to set it aside to pick up this Ovid, though.

Anyway, have you happened to learn mine yet?

[palfriday]

... [shoulders droop]

Well, no, not really... The Captain says you were a god, but he didn't say much else!

[wimdy]

Oh, so he knows.

Maybe my god’s name isn’t very important, then. But, Mr. Yuri said he would… collect them. Is that also true?

[palfriday]

He is a bit of a snoop, yes...

Yes, I'd say that's true! He just likes any sort of interesting person, really, and gods can be very interesting!

[wimdy]

[ … ]

What would it take for him to free us?

[ not that he thinks it could possibly be as simple as asking, but. he’s tired and sober and not functioning at his best, as if he ever does. ]

[palfriday]

[she falls silent, fussing with the papers in front of her.]

... Nothing. Everything. [pause] It's always a trick. Always.

[wimdy]

Ehe… it surely couldn’t be that simple, but it was worth asking.

Then, can I show you something else?

[palfriday]

[a pause... then, she nods.]

[wimdy]

[ he takes out his phone to scroll to a picture (paling and scrolling very quickly past the pic of his own severed head because oh fucking god)

the pic he’d be looking for would be a sketch of the sigils on jenny’s walls, on note paper, copied quite accurately from memory. ]

I saw these on Miss Jenny’s walls, in her ship. Would you happen to know what they’re meant for?

[palfriday]

[peers]

... Ah, I see! How do I explain... Sigils aren't just used for doing things, you know! Every entity has their own sigil, an image that represents them! That just happens to be Jenny's, even if it's a bit... off, I guess! It's not quite right!

[like you were trying to draw something from a memory you can feel slipping.]

[wimdy]

[ well that brings up a host of questionable… questions. ]

So, she… might be trying to remind, or remember herself? These were written on her walls, over and over.

In blood. [ probably hers. ]

[palfriday]

[beat]

She's just going through some things! It can't be very easy on the mind, living out of reality so much like she does...

[wimdy]

By reality you mean… this reality? Within the barrier?

Do you know what her usual, original sigil looks like?

[palfriday]

Oh, any reality works, I think! It's when you're passing between them that things tend to get a little, well...

[twirls fingers around temple]

It looked a bit like that, but a bit different! I can't really explain it, I think...

[wimdy]

Hm, I could only imagine.

I’d like to help her remember but she did leave… actually, she left her star chart behind, you saw her do that. Shouldn’t she have taken it?

[palfriday]

Hm...

Well, it just means she might waste some time, I think! Visiting realities that already told her that they aren't interested in whatever she has planned! [which she is absolutely not being purposefully vague about at all.]
