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.]]

You seem like a nice kid. Or...however old you are. Might be older than me, honestly. We've been eager to meet you, so it's right to make a good first impression.

I'm lots.

[ Lots of what? Lots. ]

Older than you, but also not? This part of me, that wants to talk and be with everyone isn't very old, though.

...I think I understand. This part of you didn't exist until you met us, did it?

Kind of? Maybe? A little bit?

[ They put a hand to their chin in a way that's Very Ardyn. ]

It's hard to say. I didn't even really know what saying was or how to do it before five minutes ago.

It is going to be a little difficult, I think. Learning to live and function as a mortal is...a lot to work through. But we promised to help you, so you're going to be alright in the end.

If it's like this all the time, I think I'll like it. I'm having a lot of fun!

Not always. Sometimes it hurts--more often than it should. But I've found that moments like this make the worse parts well worth getting through.
