Video - End of Lasohm/start of Malom, about a day after the breach is resealed

[The city is still in a state of disarray, though the fighting is over. Everyone will surely need to pitch in for some extensive repair work to make Havenwell what it once was. Will is sitting on a somewhat mangled chair on a cafe's patio, disheveled and powdered with stone dust, looking more exhausted and discouraged than most people here have ever seen him--unless, of course, they happened to help him endure the agony of the battle's psychic backlash.

He's doing his best to smile regardless, and holds up a slightly rumpled piece of paper to show the camera; on it are some surprisingly good line art head shots of Akira, Akechi, and Kei done in pen. They may not be exactly artistic, but they're at least faithful to their subject matter; he's even helpfully tagged each with hair and eye colors, since he could only work in monochrome.]


Has anyone seen these three recently? My roommates all vanished during the fighting. I figured they must have had their hands full, and maybe they got hurt and needed to stay with someone, but.....

They aren't answering their tablets, and they're not at any of the temples. I've been searching around town, but I haven't found them yet, and Arche can't pick up any scent trails, either. I'm starting to think maybe they got sick, and..... got worse.

[Anyone who's seen or experienced the strange illness that can grip the newcomers may understand what he's talking about, and why he's so worried--people fading out of existence entirely is a frightening prospect. His voice is quieter now, as he reaches out to end the recording and submit it to the network.]

.....I'm not sure I want to stay in my house anymore.

[HE'S NOT A FAN OF THIS WHATSOEVER]

If it were me, I might dare to hope the best of the situation. Is that not better than stacking worry upon worry atop one's already heavy burden of loss?

I agree. Apologies, I merely have a tendency to want to fix such things rather than let others be in pain.

[he tries very, very hard]

Of course. Even that much is far better than doing nothing.

Without hesitation. I've little if any loyalty to the kingdom, but I've no intention of allowing His Majesty or any other here to come to harm so long as I'm able to prevent it.

As most of the others I have met here from my world, I am from Lucis originally--my surname is Lucis Caelum as well. His Majesty is descended from my younger brother, and those who answer to him are those with loyalty to the crown of the Lucian kingdom.

[ha ha about that]

The timeline is a bit complex where I'm involved. But 'surreal' is certainly a word I might use.

I've lived for two thousand years and am in fact a contemporary of my brother's descendant some hundred-odd generations hence.

Regrettably, I do not.
