Hi.

[ and then a pause, where it seems as if that's all that's going to be sent while he has a moment of uncertainty of whether or not he's doing this right. but thankfully, he carries on. ]

I'm Zagreus, one of the newly arrived, nice to meet you all.
I just have a question, does anyone have access to any fire resistant footwear?
Sandals or er, sneakers? Is that what they're called? Anything is fine.
Or if anyone has any suggestions on how to prevent surfaces from burning when I stand on them, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks very much for your time.

not anybody's buddy

how did you manage avoiding this problem back home?

[seaurchin]

I saw some people taking pictures of it ...

[ like a tourist attraction. ]

Are you embarrassed?

[emancipating]

[ but not nobody's friend, huh... interesting. ]

[emancipating]

I'm from the Underworld; burning comes with the territory, so I didn't have to worry about it.

[emancipating]

Admittedly, I've never had to be concerned about fashion very much, but I must say that what they have here is quite... trendy? I guess is the term.
I'm sure whatever they've got will be an interesting look, at the very least.

[emancipating]

They were taking pictures?

[ oh god. ]

Well
Sort of.
A little, maybe.

[seaurchin]

I see.

If I see them doing that again, I'll go scold them.

[ he protect u ]

[emancipating]

Ah, it's all right, you don't have to do that.
I'm just not used to it, that's all.
Did you enjoy yourself?

[ sorry, she's going to slide into his dms for this ]

Don't even try. I... don't feel my connection with my manager either. They're the ones who can bring me and my other coworker to life whenever we die out there. So now, we've got to be more careful.

[frostfist]

[ haha, that's funny, he's also from an underworld (just kidding). but more importantly: ]

Is that similar to Hell?

[ there's a lot else going on here too but let's start with the basics. ]

@Goldilocks

[likemybooks]

How much fire resistance are we talking about?

[assassinsgreed]

so you're a demon? something otherworldly, then?

[elfsufficient]

Trendy... I suppose that's right. THe fashion here is very much unlike what I'm used to at home. I'm still getting used to it.

You don't sound too worried about your feet, though, even if it doesn't sound very pleasant to deal with...

[seaurchin]

Not used to the attention?

... It was nice.

You must be fun at parties

[ can't a girl be sad about losing the chance to confess to someone for the second time in her life for more than a few weeks without being handed a new plate,

she remembers you zag. cutie. ]

Aluminum foil might be your quickest solution, but it's a little noisy! It'll definitely keep the heat in though.

@vessel

[eyescar]

i don't think even the fire station has that kind of thing
but you could ask the cat doctor

[emancipating]

Yes, I believe certain mortals refer to it as such.
The Underworld I'm familiar with may be a little different from what you know of it, but technically, they're the same.

[emancipating]

I could say the same, honestly.
I've come to learn that the fashion that I'm used to is considered to be, er, rather archaic compared to what's popular now.

Oh, no, I'm sorry if it all sounds dire but this is simply just a part of me that I was born with.

[emancipating]

You could say that, yes.
But my mother, she was part mortal. So I'm a bit of both.

[emancipating]

As much as possible?

[emancipating]

You think so? I've never been to a party before.

[emancipating]

[ ... brain google, please, what is aluminum foil. ]

[emancipating]

Oh...

[ ohhh. ]

It's so thin! That's amazing. Modern technology is truly fascinating.
Some noise is preferable to causing fire damage, I suppose. This is a great idea, thank you for the suggestion.

[bemist]

You aren't missing much.
Is this a chronic condition of yours?
