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.]]

Yeah... I'm one seriously lucky guy, in that regard.
[ And there's a short pause, but he rests a hand on Shido's shoulder. ]
Not many people get to have so many dads or dad figures.
no subject
And the same can be said of not many men getting to have a father-son relationship with such a remarkable young man.
[His hand comes up to ruffle his hair, before his brow creases slightly in worry.]
You were gone for some time... are you alright?
no subject
Remarkable, huh...
[ There's a slight tilt of his head. ]
Mm... Aside from feeling like I missed- a lot, I'm fine.
no subject
[Notice that the air around them is a rather comfortable temperature, Akira?]
no subject
Something happen to get you stuck, or...?
[ But then he's giving a small smile at the realization. ]
Nice weather we're having.
no subject
[There's a bit of a fond look there— listen... he was a really cute kid???]
Not bad, isn't it? [He actually seems... the tiniest bit proud!!] Though, unfortunately, being as cold as it is out here, it is a constant drain of my energy... Still, I'm surprised I managed this much. I suppose I must have been using it subconsciously more often than I thought.
no subject
Well, if you ever need a break, I have a ton of spare blankets.
no subject
[Actually, Shido is looking... really fucking beat??? And Akira might notice the temperature starting to fluctuate and lean more towards cold as Shido gives a hard blink and... sways rather danger—
Nope, scratch that, he's going down.]
no subject
Ow. ]
Shit-!
[ Akira's wincing a little as he gently nudges Shido's shoulder. ]
Hey... Still with me?
no subject
Also, fucking ow, his head had solidly smacked the ground there (and probably made a pretty alarming noise when it did).]
Sorry...
[He inhales sharply, grimacing a bit as he moves to push himself to a seated position before moving to help Akira sit up as well.]
