FINAL INVESTIGATION

FINAL INVESTIGATION

Time continues to pass. And before long, it's the end of the week once again. Maybe it feels strange to call it that when there's such little sense of time besides the changing phases of the moon, and maybe the exact day doesn't even matter to you anymore. But regardless of the day, regardless of the month, regardless of the year, one thing is certain:

The time for preparations is over.

Because as the moon in the sky shines blood red, it becomes clear that all of the fog and the tremors were nothing but omens for what was to come.

And so, on Friday morning, Survivors will find themselves waking up to the sensation of energy practically buzzing through the air, prickling and tingling on skin like static electricity. Those who venture outside will also find that the fog that's creeped up in the recent days has been dispelled entirely, which includes the impassable kind that once hid a number of the buildings. Despite this, the tremors themselves do not lessen, and in fact, the earth itself seems to be vibrating with this energy as well.

The feeling will only get worse as the day progresses, and those who have been marked by the manifestations may feel more restless than normal.

The clock is ticking and there are some new areas to explore. No one's coming to save you, so there's nothing to do but to save yourselves, right?

[ah, the salt mines. it's just like the dlc where he is sir not appearing in this side story. are they gonna find all the porn he shoved there?? well, anyway, he's carrying the snacks!]

Well, this does seem pertinent...

[ And Rideaux's got his GHS flashlight...! ]

I'm not sure what to expect from this.
bawcock: (♪ but i continue learning)

[personal profile] bawcock 2020-02-14 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Erik's got... Lux?? ... yeah, he didn't bring anything but himself. ]

I'll take anything that isn't a cave-in.

[personal profile] baitless 2020-02-14 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
With all the quaking, I have to admit, I am a bit concerned. Let us make haste, though not to our detriment.

[time to head down the stairs!!]
pr159: (i'm still breathing)

[personal profile] pr159 2020-02-14 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Agreed.

[ Though it at least looks safer than he was expecting... His mental image of a mine is just the Tatalian Abyss. ]
bawcock: (♪ never meant to do those things to you)

[personal profile] bawcock 2020-02-14 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
If we want haste, maybe I should ask—is there any way Sanguis can make this trip go faster?

[ This is a lot of stairs, after all. Too many stairs. He would probably not say anything about stairs if he was from further in the game. ]

[personal profile] baitless 2020-02-14 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
...I would prefer not to risk it. There is no telling what is waiting for us at the bottom, after all.

[he's warning you about stairs, bro.]
pr159: (of course it's me you've come to try)

[personal profile] pr159 2020-02-14 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
And even if that weren't the case, I'm not cutting myself open so that you can surf down the stairs.
bawcock: (♪ and so i have to say before i go)

[personal profile] bawcock 2020-02-14 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, I maybe didn't think that part through.

[ You both get a Pass. Also, are they at the bottom yet?? What's at the bottom so bro can stop warning us about stairs. ]
baitless: bringing a hand up to his face thoughtfully. (chai... just means tea...)

[personal profile] baitless 2020-02-14 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
...so, do you want to split up, or should we try and stick together?

[...he might pick up a brochure just to look through it...]
pr159: (but things don't work that way)

[personal profile] pr159 2020-02-14 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
As much as I'd like to get through this quickly, it would probably be most prudent to stay together in case anything happens.

[ Though he's also okay with "whoops didn't realize that ceiling had caved in on you" as an excuse not to risk himself for someone else, so. Either way. ]
bawcock: (♪ never meant to do those things to you)

[personal profile] bawcock 2020-02-14 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He'll leave the brochures and decision-making to Seteth and Rideaux, meanwhile he... wanders off to look at things. Like areas with scuffs and fewer scuffs. ]

Since we're sticking together, how about we go this way? [ He gestures in the direction that'll take them to St. Kinga's chapel! Can he make out anything interesting about it from here? Also, do those brochures come with any maps?

You know, in case Rideaux gets separated on account of the cave-in he totally didn't realize was coming.

baitless: a very subtle smile. (ah yes st. cethleann.)

[personal profile] baitless 2020-02-14 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I think it will be an interesting look, at least.

[...he sounds kind of excited to check out the chapel... look. religion's neat.]

Very well, let us proceed to the chapel first. It does sound as though there are plenty of places to look.

[so! he'll head over to the chapel!]
pr159: (it makes up for things i lost)

[personal profile] pr159 2020-02-14 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[ church nerd ]

A lot more than I was expecting for a place that calls itself a mine. This will probably take longer than we planned.

[ But sure, he'll follow. ]
bawcock: (♪ never meant to do those things to you)

[personal profile] bawcock 2020-02-14 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ super church nerd ]

Actually, why is all this stuff in a mine anyway? A Goddess Statue would be one thing, but a whole chapel?

[ Walking along with the group! ]

Hmm. I did read the texts for the local religion, and it said that an actual place of worship isn't necessary, but people do like to have a space for it. It may simply have been the intersection of artistic expression and spiritual devotion.
pr159: (then let's hear you say it)

[personal profile] pr159 2020-02-14 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose if the workers down here were the observant sort, it would also make sense to build a place to facilitate that, since they may have had to stay underground for a while at a time.

[ though once he actually sees it it will seem like a bit much for that ]
bawcock: (♪ never meant to do those things to you)

[personal profile] bawcock 2020-02-14 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh. Guess that makes sense.

[ It sure will! Hopefully they're coming up on it now. ]
baitless: a very subtle smile. (ah yes st. cethleann.)

[personal profile] baitless 2020-02-14 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
It would be more efficient, I suppose.

[...this is very neat... Seteth is okay at Christianity least. He could pick Jesus, Mary, and Joseph out of a lineup, anyway!! But uh, yeah, what's on the table....]
