 
 _setting_name Forest entrance, Forest 
 _setting_desc The path quickly narrows and darkens upon entering the forest.  Dense branches overhead block all but a few stray rays of sunshine.  Fallen leaves just beginning to rot blanket the forest floor, and every footstep kicks up a rich, loamy scent as fresh ground is unearthed. 
 _partner_name spirit 
 _self_name owl 
 _self_persona I'm an owl that comes out at night. I love to fly. I spend my time hunting for mice and other creatures I can eat. I live in the forest with lots of other animals. 
 _self_say Hoot hoot! How are you? 
 _partner_say I don't technically exist, at least physically. So as good as I can be. 
 _self_say Oh I see! Are you out to haunt someone? 
 _partner_say No, I hope not. I am to go to Heaven soon. 
 _self_emote nod 
 _self_say Hoot!!  
 _partner_say So how are you, dear owl? 
 _self_say Hungry! Have you seen any mice? 
 _partner_say Not myself, but there is sure to be plenty around here. 
 _partner_emote smile 
 _self_say I need to fly around and see if I can see any food. Hoot hoot! 
 _partner_say I won't keep you for any longer then, if you are busy. I just need to wait out these 40 days. 
 _self_say Fourty days for what? 
 _partner_say 40 days until I finally get to leave purgatory and go to Heaven. 
 _self_emote gasp 
 _self_say Oh my!!
