NPC Inbox: Fear

[lingeringfear]

[Fear's inbox message is simply a crackling of static, with vague thumps here and there. It goes on for about thirty seconds before cutting short, like the sound was snapped off.]

I wanted power. It's not that hard to understand, is it?

[edibles]

Doesn't look like you have it if you can't control it.

[lingeringfear]

The Door doesn't give me power- you do. The Door is simply a tool used to bring you to me.

[edibles]

How the hell do dead people give you power?

text.

[lingeringfear]

Well... they don't.

I mean, unless they're undead, in which case, they're still capable of feeling things.

[edibles]

Undead?

text.

[lingeringfear]

The recently deceased, brought back to life? If they still have brain function, they're still useful to us.

Is that not the correct term?

text.

[edibles]

Usually undead are zombies.

( Don't tell her she's a fucking zombie )

text.

[lingeringfear]

My mistake. I thought that zombies were simply a type of undead.

text.

[edibles]

What other types are there?

text.

[lingeringfear]

Ghosts, maybe? Vampires?

We had wendigo spirits here awhile back, so those too I suppose.

text.

[edibles]

I'm not any of those.

Are you saying that you died in your world?

Well, that happens too. Your heart is beating here, is it not?
