DUNGEON - BELLMARE ENCLAVE (BELLMARE MOUNTAINS, PT 2)
The shadows are starting to grow very long as you crest his particular ridge - it's not night yet, but it will be soon. In the shadows of the afternoon, with a tall mountain already blocking the sun, lies a snow-covered valley that is different from the ones you've come across thus far in your investigation.
This valley is home to a town, and unlike all the settlements you've seen so far - Incendia, the Telovia mining town, and the manor - it's very much active. There are actual people in the streets, visible from above, going through their days on snow-free streets, bundled up against the cold.
Those of you who asked were told of the handful of people who didn't go into the slumber of stasis as the Fissure conditions of the world grew worse and worse, instead isolating themselves and trying to continue living their lives as they could. Now, it seems, you've found exactly such a group.
Welcome to the Bellmare Enclave, and enjoy your stay.
[[OOC: Welcome to part 2 of the dungeon! For the most part, interaction with the town's NPCs can be handwaved as described on the main information post. Worth noting are the following major things: The Bellmare Enclave isn't expecting visitors, though the people are generally friendly to the new arrivals. They don't know about the time dilation effect of their Fissure - to them, it's only been about eighteen years since the Slumber Plan was put in place and they withdrew from the world. And finally, by a similar token, they have no idea how far the Fissures outside of their own have grown - while it's not uncommon for them to find odd objects from time to time, they'll assume that the characters are just arrivals from other places within their own world, rather than outsiders, until told otherwise.]]

Set to before the mayor stuff
[Clover had entered town in her rabbit form, getting many strange looks as a result especially when she talked to the townpeople. But this is no fit weather to be a furless human in! After wandering around, she had found Lagomare Way with its many lagomares. She eyed one speculatively...
Anyone arriving on the scene will be treated to the sight of a strange rabbit riding a lagomare who seems perfectly fine with it. Indeed, the fox is merrily following the rabbit's commands to jump over things and other such tricks.]
Hug Captive
[When she entered the toy store while exploring, she had meant to turn into human form like she had in the other stores. But after calling out a hello, she pauses when she hears Cliff's delighted greeting. Soon enough, she's caught up in a hug by the child. Well, it isn't the first time a child's hugged her, and she can't help it if her rabbit form's this cute. She'll just chill out like this, until someone else enters.]
Oh, hello there! I'm afraid I'm a little caught up.
[Her tone is more amused than anything. If she needs to, she can just escape.]
Rabbit on Ice
[Oh, hey, there's a delightful frozen lake and even a rink. You know what she's never tried? Skating in rabbit form. Well, less skating and more just sliding across the ice, occasionally stopping herself with a braced foot before sending herself off in a different direction.]
And a human form prompt
[After finding the Skysong Cafe and Hospice, she came in to relax a little. Now she's sipping at a cup of hot chocolate while taking occasional bites from the thick stew in front of her. When she sees someone who doesn't look like they're from around here, she waves them over.]
Hey, you gotta try this stuff! It's so good!
Rabbit on ice!
... Wait, is that a rabbit?
Said rabbit, at least, seems to be moving a little more purposefully than one would expect an animal stuck out on ice to be moving though, so...]
... Having fun there?
no subject
Yeah! If I'm to be snatched away by some dimensional malfunction, at least there's an ice rink. I'd give proper skating a try, but this is too cold for my human form. Hell, I've got more fur than usual.
[Indeed, she does seen to have a rather thick coat of fur.]
no subject
[The statement's punctuated with a sagely nod, before Akira tilts her head slightly.]
Not really used to this kind of weather, I take it?
no subject
[She begins sliding back and forth on the ice again.]
Really happy there's a town here, though.
no subject
Yeah, tell me about it. After months of the folks at the station being the only people around, it's kind of nice to see a town that's still... a town, I guess.
