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 will say that based on the one I know, it does seem out of character, but I can't really... say for sure...

And...the two of you know Niijima-san as an ally, not someone with motivation to deceive you.

... There's that too, yes.

As much as you two would know your respective versions better than I know mine, I can't quite assume you would know how they might act toward someone they truly regarded as an enemy. Especially since...the version in Akira-kun's timeline admitted to having been jealous of that timeline's version of me.

[...]

I don't imagine it'd be much different back home... if not worse, for other reasons.

I did actually talk to Niijima-kun a couple of times before he disappeared. None of them were...what I would call friendly.

[Granted, part of that was his own fault. He'd gone into those conversations defensive.]

Mmn.

[She... wishes she could say she was surprised at that. She just... quietly leans against Goro.]
