Ugh... shit, that hurt. Damn, this is so weird, i... we? We really regenerate fast.
As soon as thay are out of my sight i just start looking at my wound. Where a knife, and not a little one at that, had just passed moments ago there was just a hole knitting slowly but surely, without any more blood coming out.
If i hadn't already seen it at the pit i would think i don't bleed anymore...
As i think about it i pass the doors and find myself stupified once again.
Is this a... reception? What exactly is this place?
"Are you the new victor or just poor?"
"...Sorry?"
"Are you the new victor of the pit or just so poor you can't even afford basic clothes?"
"Emm... new victor, but i may be poor too..."
"Hmm? Didn't they let you keep the dust? I may have to remind them of the customs then..."
Why the hell does everyone here have such creepy smiles? Oh, yeah, right...
"Right... em, i do have the dust."
"All 20?"
"Is it fixed?... Ahem, yes, all of it."
"Tch... i guess i'll have to keep my foot out their asses for now... Either way you've come here for the basic package yes?"
"Err, i guess? What's in it?"
"Basic knowledge. Things you would catch on in your own in a couple boxes but that are common enough here that you need to know them."
"Boxes?"
"You see. Here in home we don't use wichever measurement you may have used before coming here to gauge and cuantify our 'eternal' existence. Here we have cycles, and nine of those are a package, seven packages are a box, and six boxes are a batch. Understood?"
"Cycle. Nine means package. Seven means box and six means batch. But, what's a cycle?"
"Heh, don't worry,you'll know soon enough. Now before we continue, lessons aren't free so if you want anything more you'll have to pay."

"Do those lessons include local language?"
"Basic helltonge, yes."
"And soul language?"
"Ha, that may be bitting more than you can chew kid, soulspeak is one of the most advanced things you can find in the plains, you aren't going to learn that any time soon."
"Alright, how much for the basic knowledge then."
"Ten. Non-negotiable."
