Like flakes of snow, the days spent in the Sloth Layer slowly but surely begin piling up. Life here is quiet and easy, even with the anxiety that comes with needing to move onto the next layer. But as the days drag out, so do the mysteries at play here – with the gradual uncovering of the odd doppelgangers and the seeming lack of any way to proceed to the next layer, it leaves the Executors at a loss for what to do. Until one day, everything changes. It comes entirely without warning – the ground lurches under everyone's feet in a sickeningly familiar way as a brief but violent earthquake rattles through the town. Then all of you feel it; a snapping sensation deep from the very foundations of Purgatory followed by the most cataclysmic impact any of you have experienced in your lives – or unlives. Snow explodes up from the ground, houses creak and lurch and the whole layer seems as though it might shatter apart under your feet. It seems like it's going to last forever. Then, finally, it stops. The silence that follows is even more pronounced in comparison to the hell-rattling noise from before, but as some semblance of calm starts to return, you realize several things. First is how eerily quiet the town is. Surely after all that, you'd hear a Specter or two... but there's nothing. Secondly – a splash of something wet strikes your cheek. Then again. Until it becomes clear that the weather has taken a sudden drastic turn and in place of the gentle snowfall from before, the heavens have opened with a torrential rainfall. Why? Possibly because of the steadily growing heat you suddenly feel burning up through the foundation of the layer and radiating out through the town. Will you investigate? | |

[One of his fellow Executors, at least, is uncomplicatedly happy to see him. Medic wouldn't notice a danger sign if it was literally written in fire, and that hasn't changed.]
It's great you're here, this is really helping! [She's reaching out with Mantle to keep draining power off of Samael, and putting that energy back into boosting her fellow Executors whenever they're in range. Anyone who wants to take a boost here is welcome.] How are you feeling?
[She pauses and blinks, the implications of what just happened finally starting to register on a level beyond "interesting new data".] ...I mean, aside from "really angry", I guess?
You aren't hurt, are you?

I'll certainly use whatever newfound power I've got to assist with this pest. I'd ask if anyone is injured, but... [He makes a little motion up? at Lion??] I imagine healing efforts will be focused on someone in particular.
no subject
[He's not missing any more body parts than he was when this fight started, so it's probably okay.]
No major injuries so far! ...Well, none for us, at least- that dragon is getting a lot of them!

[A brief pause as Medic considers what she just said.]
Wait, that doesn't make sense, does it...
