Talking with the people (there are more now) gives you a better idea of how things are in here. There are four villages. This one and it's all male counter-part are where the inhabitants live from a time before where they're preparing to become adults and a time after, where they haven't decided to settle down with a partner in the Last Village of the Living.<br/><br/>The Last Village of the Living is where couples live and raise children, and when they get too old or injured, make a trek to the Purple Village, where people go to die. There's also rumors about something called the Lingering Malaise which tends to injure or kill people before their times. The people are unclear if it's a spirit, a monster, or what. Not that such differences would matter much to them.<br/><br/>It would all be shades of "Oh, fate, it's killing me!"<br/><br/>You also get a few other bits of trivial information about people's lives. The One that's Leaving is going to visit a lover that will become her husband in a year's time. The Woman Left Behind has been trying to stalk the Lingering Malaise. The Pair that Was Caught get caught fucking each other behind a clever but futile disguise. (They're both very loud.)<br/><br/>The Shaman comes and says that she's finished up in the Ritual House, and while you're free to stay out here you need to come and perform the bathing rituals before you go with the Younger Sister.
