(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.

Perhaps! But it may not be necessary by the time we get her book.

[ He shrugs, then starts to explain, though it's actually quite straightforward. ]

I think the dampening of abilities is something that the demons are doing, since otherwise, I imagine they couldn't have lifted it for Undyne. It's a way to be sure that they still hold the advantage, or at least that they perceive that they do. At the very least, I managed to cut off Lucifer's arm with a normal sword, so I know that extraordinary ability isn't required to injure them. It certainly is helpful, though.

[ Since even getting to that point was fairly difficult and required Dumpy... dumpy da real mvp ]

But at the very least, we do know that they have weaknesses. They're not infallible.

i was thinkin' fighting the "sins" might serve as a good distraction to getting that book, actually. i can't imagine we'll be able to sneak up on katerina now that all this is out in the open-- [he shrugs here because. yea. @inaba get better life choices, again] -- but she's also obviously not super great on her own protection front.

[says the self-admitted one hit wonder. ok. he doesn't acknowledge that at all.]

so keeping the demons away from her might have to be our best bet to getting that book.
