(no subject)

You awaken to blackness. Frightening, although familiar--this is the same terrible thing you narrowly avoided during your first trip into Lebensbaum. The pain of your death is still real, echoes of the wounds you suffered appearing on your skin. Inspecting your surroundings will tell you that you've woken up inside of the cooled, empty bonfire pit....and the town as it was is nowhere to be seen.

The sky is a whirlwind of blank, dark void. What previously acted as roadblocks on either side of the town seems to have moved upward, blocking out most of the sun's light. The street is barren, filled with piles of broken concrete, shattered glass, and smoking craters where many of the buildings used to be. Old bloodstains dot the pavement, mixing in with overturned cars and crumbling brick walls. Lebensbaum is a dead town, in more ways than one.

Except for the hotel. It stands, as dusty and abandoned as it ever was, but no worse for the wear. Scorch marks can be seen on the ground around it in a clear border, as though it had a barrier protecting it from whatever destroyed the village. If you venture inside, everything is in its place, as though the outside wasn't completely obliterated.

The living can be seen walking around, going about their daily lives, and if you concentrate, you can even see the buildings as they once were--in working order, clean, and in one piece.

As of Monday on Week 10, however, there is a door, seemingly pasted into the middle of the street. As the days tick by, the doors will increase in number, one for each victim.

Leviathan's stopped here once before, so if we could find her again, maybe she'll be able to disclose that...

[Because fighting six demons does sound pretty daunting, honestly, even with the extra power Leviathan's supposedly been collecting.]

Otherwise, we'll just have to take care of the demons ourselves. I wonder if we'd have more of an advantage if we could fight them like this? Unless the damage they do here is still just as permanent, somehow.

I have no idea. I'm a bit more informed about this town and what's going on here than what I was telling you, but when it comes to this?

[ He motions around, generally just referring to ghost town ]

This, I didn't know anything about. I only guessed that you were seeing the destroyed town because Miata had mentioned that it was like that. It's why I was asking about the similarities between Sablier, since I knew it was similar enough that I could use that as a point of reference without Katerina thinking it odd.

I was hoping that telling you that would bring at least a few more things to light, but...

[A SIGH. In the end Break already knew anything useful that he had to say!! God, Break, save some sleuthing for the rest of them. He sighs again - two whole sighs in a row - and cards his hand through his hair in that habitually nervous gesture he has.]

...Well, we can give it a shot anyway and see what works. Though - I think Leviathan might be busy after this point...

Likely so. I would be surprised if that weren't the case, especially considering...

[ Now it's Break's turn to sigh, and he shakes his head. ]

Well, this is a mess. I don't like having to rely on a single person so strongly, but we more or less have to.
