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

[twistedempathy]

[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.

[There is a moment of silence as Regis thinks back to the battle and then he shakes his head.]

I did not, but that doesn't mean they weren't there. While I was holding the barrier, most of my focus was on that. Ask Cor that question once he has recovered some. He was out in the fighting longer than I was.

I'll do that.

[What little he knows about the Heartless is..... unsettling, to say the least. He lapses into silence as he walks, screen showing familiar scenery passing by.]

[Regis watches the scenery as it passes, gauging how long it will be until Will arrives and debating on if he should go meet the young man at the door. As much as he wants to do that, now that the initial burst of energy he got when he saw the post has faded, Regis is definitely feeling tired again and he hates it so much.

At least, Will can go visit Cor after he arrives. It will be better than being trapped here with his worries and a sleeping friend.]

Can you let me know what he tells you? If there are daemons here, that is a big problem for many reasons.

[The least of which is the fact that where daemons are, so too is the Starscourge. Ardyn contains that which afflicts him, but the daemons? They don't care or think enough to do the same.]
