Zarkenis Ultima wrote:What she did know was that, standing on a rock not far from her position, there was a figure covered in a black suit that somehow appeared to be a hybrid between a proper armor and a simple robe. The figure in question wore a white mask with big, round glass barriers over where the eyes would be and a long beak protruding from where the nose and mouth would be in a normal Redemit's face.
Zarkenis Ultima wrote:"Who are you?!" He demanded. "More importantly, why the hell are you here, and, have you met anyone? Have you touched anything blue since you came here? Inhaled any gases?"

Zarkenis Ultima wrote:The figure's eye twitched beneath the mask, and it let out a loud, prolonged sigh, before retrieving a small device from a slot in his armor and putting near its mask.
Zarkenis Ultima wrote:"I found an otherworlder. Skin color looks normal. Hair color shows no sudden decoloration, and there are no obvious anomalies in her body. Higher cognitive functions appear unaffected. Sense of sarcasm is unhindered... Sadly." He said.
"Did she inhale or touch anything?" A voice said from within the device.
"I have no fucking idea." The figure replied, obviously not pleased. After a few moments of deliberation, the voice on the other end of the device spoke again.
Zarkenis Ultima wrote:"Alright. Bring her in before something bad happens." The voice stated.
After that, the figure stored the device in its armor once again. "Alright, well, Holly, you should follow me. Unless you want to die a slow and needlessly painful death, of course. Note that I'm not threatening you, only warning you." He said, and then started walking back to the settlement. Whether or not Holly followed, he would stop by the shield.

Zarkenis Ultima wrote:"Wrong: Old age is not necessarily painful, even if it is much slower than what I'm talking about." The 'Bird-Man' said "Now, don't get me wrong, I'd love to leave you out here, but we have a duty with Redemitkind." He stated.
Zarkenis Ultima wrote:It was not long after that they came to a stop next to the trasluscent green barrier that surrounded the settlement, which was, by the way, much more noticeable the closer one was to it. Pulling out the device again, the 'Bird-Man' spoke, first to Holly.
"Don't touch it." He said, gesturing towards the barrier, before speaking into the device.
Zarkenis Ultima wrote:"This is Reed. Requesting entry on Access Point 030A." He said into the device. Several most likely uncomfortable moments later, a small hole opened on the green trasluscent shield, big enough for a Redemit to step in. Reed had Holly walk inside first, and then stepped into the settlement right behind her, the barrier closing down behind him.
Holly would immediately notice that the air seemed much cleaner inside the settlement. From some of the buildings nearby, curious eyes observed the new arrivals.
Reed, meanwhile took out his mask, revealing himself to be a young man of about 200 with black hair and dark brown eyes. He took a deep breath of the cleaner air of the city, and let it all out in a sigh of relief, before turning towards Holly.
"So, fuel and supplies right?" He asked, his mood having apparently improved as soon as he walked into the barrier. "Alright, we'll see what we can do about that. No offense, but the sooner we get you out of here, the better." He said, and motioned for her to follow once again, before heading towards the center.

Zarkenis Ultima wrote:At Holly's last comment, Reed chuckled darkly, and looked at the sky. "Nah, it was something much more subtle..." He said quietly. "I wish it had been fire and brimstone. We would have had a much better chance." He added. After several moments, though, he shook his head. "But anyway, you're welcome." He said, and continued walking.
Zarkenis Ultima wrote:As the two walked closer to the center of the settlement, more and more people could be seen going about on their daily business. Most wore lightly colored clothes: White, pink, light green... But there was no blue anywhere. Now and then, people dressed like Reed would also show up, almost always heading away from the center. And as Reed and Holly walked, the latter inevitably drew curious stares from nearly everyone they came across. And there was one more thing worthy of note: Despite the colors that covered the settlement, there was a pervading sadness within.
Zarkenis Ultima wrote:A man clad in black armor and wearing a beaked mask walked towards Reed and Holly. His frame was larger than Reed's, and he wielded what appeared to be a sickle. Reed seemed to recognize him, so he hastened his pace and went to meet him.
"Revenslar." He said, greeting the other man.
"Sandar." The other man greeted. "The blue gods haven't claimed you yet I see."
Reed shook his head. "I've had luck." He said simply.
"Who is she?" Revenslar asked, motioning towards Holly with the head.
"An otherworlder." Reed responded. Revenslar looked at Holly for a moment before addressing her.
"Should destiny and its foul play trap you here, miss, hear me well: Not everything that shines in this barren wasteland is gold." He said, and then gave Reed a pat on the shoulder before continuing on his gloomy way.
Zarkenis Ultima wrote:Not long after that encounter, they arrived at the building on the center of the settlement, the one with the large tower. As he approached, a grin started growing on Reed's face. When he arrived at the door, he peeked in through the glass, and then, with childish glee, he drew back his foot and kicked the door open.
"Clowzia!" He shouted at almost the same time.
The room where the two had arrived was not much to look at this time, either. Some chairs on the sides, hallways and doors leading to other parts of the buildings, and behind a desk, several holodisplays and a girl with black hair and dark brown eyes that seemed to have been sleeping but was now glaring at Reed with the fury of a million stars. For a moment she looked like she was about to say something, but noticing that there were innocent minds present, she simply slumped down on her chair and started working with the information on the holodisplays.
"Reed." She said coldly. Reed simply continued grinning as he walked up to the desk.
"Where's Titania? I need to talk to her." He said, now more serious. Clowzia glared at him some more before looking at one of the displays.
"She still hasn't returned. She should be back shortly." She stated, before focusing on her work once again. Sighing, Reed walked back to one of the chairs on the sides of the room and slumped down. He motioned for Holly to do the same.
"The person we need to talk to should arrive in a bit." He said simply, and then leaned back on his seat and waited, watching the rather boring room. Occasionally, some people would go from hallway to hallway or from door to door, sometimes carrying information devices, sometimes carrying small metal boxes they transported with utmost care.
Even within the building, the sensation was still present. A vague sensation of resignation reigned inside and outside.

"Yeah? Is there something you need, Danica?" She asked happily, ready for whatever the knight wanted.

Olthar wrote:"Oh. Well, what do you want to talk about?" Cynthia asked.
She found it a bit sad that Danica still hadn't formed any friendships with anyone else besides her, even through three weeks of travel. Most the party was friendly enough, and Cynthia considered herself friends with most of the people there. Danica really just needed to open up some more and stop being so locked into her own little world. With each passing day, Cynthia became more and more determined to bring Danica to Aphrodasia when their quest was finished. Even if the knight wasn't converted to the Divine Pleasure way of life, the experience would still be good for her. She could do with some loosening up.

Olthar wrote:Cynthia thought for a moment before shrugging her shoulders.
"Return home. Spend a day with Lillian. Continue on as before. I don't really see why that should change. Why? Is there something specific you wanted to do with me? Did you want to come with me to Aphrodasia? I'm sure Lillian would be happy to meet you, and we'd both do our best to make you feel comfortable. I think it would be a wonderful experience for you."
The mage gave Danica a happy and excited smile, betraying her enthusiasm.
