Week Six

[letsplayamod]

You've survived, for lack of better wording, the latest week of trials and tribulations. This one had been more costly than most: Typhon's machinations have brought your group to nearly half the size it was when Athena first brought you to this island. Whether it ends with him or with you is still too soon to make out. One thing's for certain. Things cannot be allowed to continue as they are.

Speaking of continuing, the next floor has been revealed to you. Just how far down this island goes is a bit of a mystery, but you get the feeling that you're close to something important. Maybe that thing Athena wanted you to find before Typhon does. You can ruminate on that as you watch the waters below. Waves still lap at the cliffs, but it all seems lower than it did weeks ago. Like the ocean itself is shrinking...

...where is Ferdinand? Is he okay?

[Not seeing him predictably makes Misane ask that question, concerned]

[markofnobility]

I... I am here.

[He finally steps in, the smoke burning his nose and eyes like an omen]

[cannotunravel]

Oh, you're there! I had begun to think something had happened to you.

[Misane is silent for a moment]

I'd say sorry for my last moments being right in front of your room, but...I have long decided any and all fault lies on Zvei.

But I still feel I owe you an apologizy in some way. For...not being with you all right now.

[markofnobility]

No, no! Do... do not apologize. Not for anything.

[cannotunravel]

Are you sure, Ferdinand...?

[She's a little relieved to hear that, really]

[markofnobility]

I am sure. Ha... if anything once we learn that you risked yourself like that all I could think was I would have done the same.

[cannotunravel]

I think...that's something I should take as a compliment. I do look up to you, after all.

[Therefore, if Ferdinand would do it, then Misane thinks she perhaps wasn't doing such a misguided thing. Excellent]

[markofnobility]

You... you do...?

[Ooooh he's going to cry and it has nothing to do with the smoke]

I... I kept your little statue! It's in my room still...

[cannotunravel]

If you find a way to bring me back to life without me becoming undead, I'll make you a second one -- a better one.

[Is that encouragement? Apparently she hopes it is, and you know she really would do this, Ferdinand, hah]

[markofnobility]

If there is a way... I know they will find it. So please, have hope until then!

[cannotunravel]

Perhaps whatever method you used to get in touch with us can be used to reach us physically if you increasing its strength...?

[markofnobility]

If so... then we may need Athena. She made the connection for us.

[cannotunravel]

Oh. That's too bad.

[Misane seems deflated when Athena is mentioned. Apparently she doesn't think too highly of her]

[rockymountaindie]

Damn, man, you're a sight for sore eyes.

[markofnobility]

Alex! I... am glad to see you as well. It feels like so long now...

[rockymountaindie]

Tell me about it... Days kinda...blend here.

[markofnobility]

Where... where are you? Some kind of heaven?

[Being able to contact such a place should not be possible, right?]

[rockymountaindie]

[ He snorts hard. ]

Hell no. Looks more like the other place, but... It's kinda like a void? But there's...floating platforms. A buncha rock structures and...

[ ... ]

Stuff like that.

[markofnobility]

[Their mythologies might not line up exactly, but he know exactly what kind of place Alex means. That fear returns on his face]

But you still linger...

[rockymountaindie]

[ Despite Ferdinand's fear, Alex looks...relieved. ]

Yeah. We're still here.

Means there's still a chance.

[markofnobility]

I... I hope so.

[he's being rather reserved compared to his usual, but the hope is there on his face regardless]

[rockymountaindie]

...You doin' okay? Anything weighin' on you?

[markofnobility]

Oh, you know.

[he waves it off, as he does]

Oh! Your statue- the one from Clear. We made sure to rescue it from your room!

[rockymountaindie]

[ ...Oh.

Alex kind of freezes up a little. ]

Where, uh... Where'd you put it?

[markofnobility]

With your main one!
