[It's a brilliantly sunny day, everyone. It's raining, of course, but not lightly enough to turn to mist and block the light, and not heavily enough to drive everyone indoors.

The cause for the brilliance is sitting atop the highest structure he could find near the center of the city, shining like a star. Best not to look at him directly. You might even want to buy sunglasses, although there's probably no one who sells them.

He's not illuminating the whole city, of course, but he's trying.]

Greetings all, 'tis Balder the Brave. If others can bring snow, I thought I might try to bring the sun. Let me know if it is too much. And if you would, entertain me with your best stories. I ask not that they be true, merely interesting.

Yes. We're here, not at our homes. A blessing for some of us, but not all.

[dusk_and_dawn]

Ah well. I am also dead. Although that may be temporary.

[salvagedsoul]

Oh... is that so?

I thought we already had much in common, but apparently even more than I knew.

[dusk_and_dawn]

My condolences, my friend. But at least we have been granted an extra measure of life, even unwillingly.

[salvagedsoul]

Yes, I'm very thankful for it. My life has been extended beyond its alotted time.

I'm going to use it. I have mistakes to undo, and a new purpose to find.
