[OOM: Do you hear the people sing
Lost in the valley of the night?
It is the music of a people
Who are climbing to the light.

...

Do you hear the people sing?
Say, do you hear the distant drums?
It is the future that they bring
When tomorrow comes...
Tomorrow comes!

He can hear a distant song, the fading echo of drums, and there is a light that is too bright to be of the world he knows. He stumbles toward it, eventually all but falling through a doorway into...

Well, into he isn't sure where. He looks around him. Surely his comrades should be with him also, if this is indeed the afterlife the priests often spoke of. But there are no faces he recognizes, and he does not believe that the world beyond would take the form of a wine shop even if such a place did exist.

Bloodstained, tattered, smelling of gunpowder, he weaves his way toward the bar, feeling an overwhelming need to sit.

"Yes, they're not the most fantastic people I've encountered here. It seems as if once you accept the big parts of Milliways than the rest is a little easier. Not fully and I still get caught feeling confused but you get used to it,"

He saw Milliways falling apart though he wasn't here for the end and the beginning but after that, it takes more to surprise him.

"Um, the dead, that's the biggest one for me cause I wasn't expectin' to ever see my Pa again. I guess how powerful some folks can be and never seem it. One of my good friends can turn into a tiger if she wants."

"It is, yeah, she still surprises me when she shifts."

"Yes, it does but there's good food, rooms upstairs and a library as well as space out back. There's space to figure it out."

"My father, a man named Urquhart, tall and blond, a smith named Teja, there are probably others that it never came up with. Those are just the ones I talk to,"

He doesn't talk to his father that much, but there are letters, its hard.

"Yes, they should be able to help you more with being dead in Milliways."
