Event 1: Gods and Monsters

[letsplayamod]

[Time is a bit difficult to measure in this place. The storms that rage beyond your safe barrier, overtaking the horizon with their shifting lights and shadows, aren't doing it any favors. If you were to ask Athena, she'd say it's been about a week since your arrival. And since then... there's been scant signs of things improving.

Today, you wake up to quiet. No drone of distant winds. Not even birdsong breaches your bedrooms. Like a inhaled breath, the world seems to have paused.

And then, it exhales. The ground under your feet trembles and shakes. Dirt flies. Rocks shower down from the direction of the cliffs.

There, like an open wound stabbed into the earth, was a large crack where there wasn't before, spilling out an oppressive red light. Stranger still, some larger rocks are floating over the opening itself.

...Investigate?]

H-hey, I can walk!

[catsgothistongue]

Sure you can.

[He ain't dropping him tho. In fact, he's hoofing it to the defense. Hold on tight Alex you're on Ranma Express.]

I thought you'd be glad to not have t' worry about trippin' over a rock while you're bleeding out of your face.

[So ungrateful :/]

[rockymountaindie]

[ Might as well hold on tight so he doesn't fall... ]

I- it's fine, I didn't get hit—!

[ ...Okay, the weird skeletal soldiers definitely did hit him somewhere, he's got a rip in his hoodie, but. ]

[catsgothistongue]

The blood on your face and the hole in your jacket says otherwise.

[Good news is, bumpy ride aside, Ranma makes it to the barrier quick and lets the taller guy off his shoulder.]

[rockymountaindie]

Come on, I mean it, I'm-

[ ...And hey! Once he puts him down, it's easy to see... He's not bleeding anymore! There actually doesn't appear to be a wound? ]

See? [ Wiping the blood from his face with his sleeve. ] It stopped.
