all you have to do is breathe

Who: Charity Burbage and you!
What: An arrival.
Where: The arrival rooms, Valhalla Inn
When: Shundi evening.
Warnings: aaaaftermath of horrible violence???

Her first thought is this isn't what I expected death to feel like.

The second is: what the hell is this?

She seems to be in a small room—small enough to be called a cell, really, with a single table and all done up in an inoffensive green color.  It might be tile; her vision is fuzzy.  If this is the afterlife, it's a bit disappointing so far.

And her head is killing her. It sounds like someone's saying in her ear, but she can't quite make out the words through the ringing and in any case, who would be talking to her? It must be her imagination. She tries to make a movement to get up, but her limbs still won't respond.

...if she's dead, shouldn't she not be Petrified anymore? Well—that's getting a bit into the metaphysical. But still, all the same, what that might mean for her: somehow...

—she's still alive.

Hope this is okay?

After quickly skimming the arrival post of this woman, Steph had decided that waiting for a response on the CiD might result in the woman dying and had just shoved the device in her pocket before heading downstairs to the arrival room.

She pulls open every door until she gets to the one that Charity is in, and thenw ithin seconds, she's on the floor next to her, checking for a pulse and breathing a sigh of relief when she notices the woman's eyes are open.

"Ma'am, can you hear me?" Her voice is a mix of firm and gentle, the sound of someone who has an idea of what they're doing.
