⦑ Here is what Nate finds in his room after a lovely day Beacon-ing about: half a pie, freshly made just today. It could be prettier (it's her very first attempt) but it's sweet and good! Mel is nowhere to be found, but hey, such is the way of food deliveries from eldritch horrors. ⦒

I did, yes. I am glad you enjoy it, it was only my first attempt.

I... hope I did not overstep my bounds? It is quite dark here, and from living in Asshai, I learned it can be easy to give in to loneliness and isolation in so much shadow, so I meant to cheer you a little.

what? no, it was nice of you to think of me.

[ Nate has to wonder if he's really coming across as that pathetic and miserable right now, or if it was just a pleasant gesture. Maybe both. He's been a little out of sorts. ]

it's pretty good for a first attempt. let me know the next time you try, i can come over and be your sous chef

⦑ Melisandre, who had to deny herself all human feeling for quite a considerable amount of time, does not think of it as a weakness – or something pathetic – but then, her perspective is... something. ⦒

Truly? If you so mean it, I would be glad for your assistance. The entity next requested something with strawberries.

⦑ A few moments after the message, she realises that she must have left out some critical points of information. ⦒

You see, the being who returns those who die here to the... ah... living as you and I are, they live beneath the church. I inquired what type of offering they may enjoy, and pie was the answer.

[ He's about to ask what entity she's talking about, since they have a number of them around, but Melisandre does him the courtesy of extrapolating. ]

the entity that asked you for strawberry pie
the one under the church
the one behind the trap door
THAT entity?
