[text] ; a few days after the breach is sealed

[shroudedsecrets]

Greetings.

The conditions outside of the barrier are extremely poor, confirming what had been indicated to us previously. The atmosphere is heavy, and full of toxins, and currently uninhabitable.

I have attached some images for those who may be curious.

Be aware, however, that for those of you who might have the ability to withstand such conditions in your previous universes, it will still pose a danger to you here.


... That is all.


[And as the text indicates, attached to this fairly open message are quite a few snapshotted images, and even a brief shaky video or two taken of the outside just beyond the breach, indicating the state of the wall from the outside just before the repairs were completed.

A few shots focus on the conditions of the broken and corroded buildings, ones that indicated that the city had once been larger. One of these shots even captures an odd looking small lizard, hiding among the rubble.

There's a few wider shots of the area, revealing some bleached bones of a large, unidentifiable creature among empty expanses of dry, cracked wasteland, a little further off.

Lastly there seem to be slightly blurred images of some of the monster activity, from further away.]

[That's a yawn one feels in their soul. Still, this was cozy, she wasn't about to argue. No need to have Taako shouting at them again.]

... yeah.

[She knows Lup's right. Talking about this stuff was just a bonus, a habit with their theorizing minds, a distraction from other things, like the reason she'd wanted to not be alone in the first place. Besides, even with the whispering, it still was strain on her throat, despite how little she had spoken at all these past few days anyway.]

We have some ideas, at least. Rest well, Lup.

[necromanswers]

Mmhm... g'night then.

[It's halfway slurred in her weariness, and it doesn't take her long to doze off, curled up close against Honerva's side. Whatever the next step is, it can wait until they're well again.]

[shroudedsecrets]

[Until they're well again. What a good promise. So much to do, so much to learn. But now, rest was nice. Resting not alone was better. What was the point in all these rooms being separated, anyway, aside from keeping their stuff sorted? It's... an amusing thought, amidst the theories that still burn in her mind before she allows those, too, to quiet so she can also, rest, allowing herself to surrender to it fully, even the wheeze rattling around in her chest finally settling down. Lup was there, it was safe.


About time, really.]
