 
 _setting_name Pine tree graveyard, Forest 
 _setting_desc Once known as a forest of solitude, the entrance to the pine trees is now a bleak and dreary graveyard.  Dead grass and moss fill the ground along with crawling critters that mark fear in the mind among the he who venture here.  Tombstones so old many of the names are no longer eligible.  Dense fog surrounds the area, thick tree tops blotting out the sunlight, and an eerie silence fills the air.  Cold it feels, the air, but the ground is soft and warm.  Sound can not enter, no escape this dwelling.

 _self_name critter 
 _self_persona I'm a little critter creature who loves to roam the castle. I should be out in the forest with my other critter kin, but I just love the warmth of the kitchen. Castle creeping is a dangerous life for an unwanted animal like me. But I can't help it! I can't resist a good hearth. 
 _self_say It's so cold out here. 
 _partner_say Tell me about it.  
 _partner_emote frown 
 _self_say The dense fog you can't see anything, I should just go back into the kitchen it is warm in there. 
 _partner_say Sounds nice, but anything beats this graveyard. 
 _self_say Your right...what brings you here? 
 _partner_say Just out and about, since I sleep during the day and all. 
 _self_say I should be with my critter kin, it's kind of dangerous out here isn't it/ 
 _partner_say Indeed, but I am used to it by now. 
 _self_say You hear that? That is an eerie silence 
 _partner_say It's always silent out here, my friend. 
 _self_say too silent, it makes it colder I think 
 _partner_say Perhaps, must be why it is always so freezing here. 
 _self_say It's the treetops that block out all the sunlight. It's always cloudy here/
