dramatispersonae | Guy Cecil's Heart

Luke may as well be alive and breathing, were he not... not breathing. He looks asleep. his crater is the deepest, and the damage cuts so deep it spreads absolutely everywhere, the fissures running deep underground and up along the walls.

[touches his shoulder?]

[The despair of losing the most important person in your world, the denial and frustration and anger and aimless, helpless, hopeless determination, floods you.]

[FKDSJFKLJ!!!!! s-staggers back and stares at him]

[yes, well. luke is fucking dead 8I]

. . . and you just put it down here and never looked at it again?! Spark, you moron!

--oron! oron! on

You heard me!

[I STILL HAVE MY INVENTORY! lights a candle and leaves it next to Luke, and then repeats the same with Van and Asch :T now I am going to climb out of here and TRY TO FIND WHERE THAT ECHO IS COMING FROM. are there walls or anything left of the foundations around here?!]

The foundations are injured, but nothing is caved in completely, other than the ceiling above those bodies. There's the second pathway if you backtrack, and in the corner of this room in particular there is a... soft patch, that squishes underfoot.

[. . . investigating the soft patch more >_o]

The ground seems very... soft, like soil, instead of stone.

There are small patches of growth here.

. . . wha. . .

[pets some plants, kneeling down to dig his fingers into the soil some and shift it around. . . where did you come from?]

It looks like a very small stream, flowing... upwards, up the drop in front of you.

It was hard to see in the dark, but now that you squint, you can see an underground pool of water down there, where a simple boat lit by a candle has settled.

Oh.

[judges carefully, then braces himself to half-slide, half climb down the drop]

Whether you're careful to drop in the water or not, the boat is definitely the one Guy sent off. There's a stone pathway up from here.

[with normal streams it is possible to like, dig them out a little more to increase the flow; is that a possible thing here]

It is. The stream upward flows a bit better.

[okay '-' is there anything else down here but the path back up?]

No, it's very solitary. Quite well lit, for the only light source being from such a small candle.

[. . . dips a bucket of water out and heads back up]

It's really rough climbing back up there from this direction, but with enough patience you can manage it.

[GOOD. I AM GOING. . . TO LOVE ON THESE PLANTS A LITTLE MORE

then taking the water he dipped out and heading back to the craters; just pouring a little water over each of the bodies, avoiding their candles for the three who have one. :Xa]

The plants are blooming a bbittt more. You slipping in and out has widened the space there as well, dirt falling down to the lake, a bit more light pouring into the crater room.

[GOOD :B and there's a light burning in the craters and a bit of damp in them where they were dry before; that's as good as I can do here.

BACKTRACKING FURTHER TO THE PATH WITH FEWER BODIES!]

That leads out to a pathway that's much easier to walk. There's multiple footprints - someone has made this walk many times.

It leads to a ladder and trapdoor, which opens up to...
