Hello, everyone.

I've never been on a ship like this before. Or any ship, really, so I can't say for certain whether the person in charge is always so elusive when it comes to answering questions. I suspect he thinks it's all in good fun, making you believe one thing but telling you another. I don't think I understand his humor, though.

I'm a little concerned about having made a deal with him - he could be one of the Rotfang conspirators in disguise and is set on prolonging this journey indefinitely until all our worlds are nothing but dust and spores.

Is that why all of you are having such strange dreams?

Either way, I hope there's pudding involved. It makes death seem just a little bit cheerier. I think that's why people eat so much at funerals.

Ghosts must get very jealous during mealtimes.

I don't think so. I think it shows strength of character not to have other people fix your problems for you.

[youwillgotohell]

Or stubborn failure to make use of your options.

[But she smiles a little in thanks.]

[whatthewrackspurt]

If you fail, you can always turn to him as a last resort.

[youwillgotohell]

I suppose that is another way to look at it.

[A slightly more comforting way, thank you Luna.]

[whatthewrackspurt]

There's always another way of looking at things. You just need to get good and practiced.

Always with the zombies./small>

No, we don't make it a habbit of raisin' the dead 'less it's dire circumstances. The Lola get kinda annoyed about us meddlin' in their business.

[There's a look of pure awe on Archie's face just before he breaks into a wide grin.]

Incredible! Absolutely incredible!

What's the purpose? Is it -- is it like a pet?

[whatthewrackspurt]

[Luna gives her hare a considering look]

I suppose it could be. But no, it's meant to be more of a guardian. A protector against Dementors and similar dark creatures. They're very good at it, provided you can conjure one properly in time.

[whatthewrackspurt]

That's probably for the best. Raising the dead's a messy business, I've heard.

[changeitroundsome]

It sure is, in just about every sense of the word.

[whatthewrackspurt]

I wonder what makes them stop being so soft and gooey. Once you're in the ground for a while, it must be hard to pull yourself back together.

[changeitroundsome]

You know, I never thought to ask the Guede on such matters.

[youwillgotohell]

I'll try to remember that.

[whatthewrackspurt]

It was nice to talk to you, Morgana.

[whatthewrackspurt]

Perhaps we should be compiling a list of questions.

[changeitroundsome]

Let's not get too ahead of ourselves. Don't wanna push their hospitality.

[That ends badly.]

[whatthewrackspurt]

No, I suppose not.

I think I should be getting settled in. Lots of things to do, people to meet. I've got to put up protection wards, too. This place has a serious nargle infestation.

[changeitroundsome]

[The hell is a nargle.]

Can't be too careful, I suppose.

[whatthewrackspurt]

Yes. Exactly.

It was nice speaking with you. Goodbye for now.

[changeitroundsome]

Likewise, I look forward to speaking with ya'll again.
