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.]]

["I had an awful dream, one where you died. Now you're telling me that this is the dream?"
"Yo, Mami-senpai! Long time no see!"
"Damn it all! I'll curse every last thing on this Earth!"]
Gah! What's happening?
[Momo whines atop Kyoko's head, nuzzling into her hair.]
no subject
[Not false, exactly, but shh.
Momo gets gently pet.]
no subject
False? Does that mean I never saved her after all? That she died hating me, and there was nothing I could do about it?
[Darkness spreads across Kyoko's Soul Gem. A hazy figure starts to take shape, but Kyoko visibly forces it back down.]
Oh no you don't! I won't have you saying those things to Arianna-nee too!
[The figure fades, but it leaves the Gem just as dark as before.]
no subject
I am uncertain. But she'd not have hated you, not truly. I don't believe that could ever happen.
no subject
[Kyoko's Soul Gem darkens more- and that's the straw that breaks the camel's back. Darkness comes billowing out of the gem, a voice coming with it.]
You... Stupid... Girl! I am TRYING to HELP YOU! Do you want to become a Witch? Huh?! Then stop suppressing me damn it, at least when we're alone if you don't want me talking!
I've got nothing bad to say to Arianna-sama, too! She's a wonderful woman and we're lucky she cares about us so much! I only say harsh words to people that you yourself have thought, you know!
You think Lily isn't living up to her full potential? I tell her! I manifest while you're feeling suicidally depressed? I say so! I'm a part of you, god damn it! I'm not going to go away just because you ignore me!
no subject
Thank you, but... it is only "lucky" in that it was chance that we met. Kyoko-chan, you deserve to have others care about you. I'm certain Dame Sayaka knew it. [Arianna you literally don't know her at all.] Whatever she may have said in anger or frustration, I cannot believe she could truly hate you.
no subject
We really don't see how that ended without her hating us at least a little.
no subject
[This is a better point than it sounds like!]
no subject
[This vision is visible to all, showing Kyoko and a girl with blue hair standing back to back on a rooftop.
"Actually, I did have one regret. Leaving you behind."
As the blue haired girl speaks, her hand finds Kyoko's.
When the vision fades, Kyoko is blushing somewhat.]
That doesn't prove anything!

[Arianna is this really the time?]
