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.]]

Yuuri. [A gentle tug on her shoulder, Ardyn kneeling down next to her to gently pull her away from the vision with a reassuring hand rubbing her back.] Yuuri, princess, it's alright. Kurumi's fine, come here.

[ She twitches in fright and surprise, holding herself stiffly like a cat about to bolt. At first she doesn't get what he means – but then she realizes that if he's talking about Kurumi, then he must have seen whatever that was too.

If she was pale a moment ago, she's practically green in the face now. ]


I d–don't... understand... that didn't happen, I never– so why...?!

Shh, shh, you're both safe. Take a deep breath for me.

[He pulled her into a gentle hug, hand running light over her hair.]

I don't know what's going on, Yuuri. But whatever it was, it isn't real.
serrata: (And I’d try)

[ Yuuri takes in a sharp breath – gulps it down, really – and makes herself hold it for a second before hissing it back out between her teeth. They're both safe. It takes her a moment before she can quite believe it. ]

Did... did anyone else see? They didn't, did they?

I don't know--I don't think so.

[Either way, he wasn't letting go anytime soon.]
