(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.

... Not all of us chose to change. [ In reference to the designation bit, but Alisha's heard a lot of this before, so she won't actually have any questions here. Except-- ]

So right now, the most important priorities are getting her book and freeing the hostages... and figuring out a way to accomplish that, correct?

[ he nods. you were The One Sensible Mole in that respect, alisha. ]

That's really it. I don't really know how get the book by myself without fucking it up, same goes for the hostages and I... I can't risk fucking that up. Which is why I'm here to give all my information to everyone else. Hopefully someone else can pull this off that's not me.

I... can't entirely say that I would be good at either of these things, but all the same...

[ ... ]

I would like to try and assist the hostages, myself. I don't have anyone among them, so should anything happen to me in the process, it shouldn't affect the hostages or those who want to see them safe.

[ And also she can't not do anything?? She's a knight!! ]

[ rhys just nods and folds his arms over his chest. to him, that's the best idea proposed. ]

I trust you with that. If no one else, I trust you with them, Alisha. You'll do the right thing for all of us.

It's the least I can do. There's the matter of finding the key to that basement and getting it, but comparatively, that ought to be nothing to fighting a dragon.
