how often does the other 2 interact with the outside world?
While Nergal is an extrovert who suffers from frequent insatiable boredom and needs constant entertainment and stimulation, Dumuzi and Geshtu are much less so. They, for the most part, have been perfectly fine with hiding away from everyone in their burrows.
With that being said, there are a few little exceptions that have popped up.
After the collapse of the First Civilization, Geshtu felt it in their best interest to keep interactions with the Isles residents minimal if at all. But as of late, Geshtu has grown increasingly concerned bout Nergals reckless surface endeavors and ends up at a local bar undercover to get information. Here he meets Hopps the kangaroo bartender. Hopps is a great source of information but he’s also an engaging storyteller. He ends up getting Geshtu into Jazz music and later into Dungeons and Dragons. Geshtu develops a fondness for this particular Tree Friend over time. Even a workaholic like him needs a break from work every so often. It just becomes another part of his routine.
Of the three, Dumuzi is the one who remains the most separated from the surface. However, a small critter that used to sit by her tree and tell fantastical little happy stories about unicorns and fairies and rainbows was led one day to a small crevice below her tree and wandered into Dumuzis burrow. This critter, Screwy, who’s mind has also been broken, is unable to see Dumuzi as a blood soaked vacant nightmare, but instead sees her as a beautiful angel in a pool of sparkles. They spend time together painting murals on the walls of the burrow in secret. One night Screwy is able to convince Dumuzi to step out of her burrow to look at the stars with her. That is the farthest Dumuzi goes though.
All three have their one small connection to humanity. For better or for worse.
