Invidia Arrival Log

[cancrymods]

INVIDIA

With the Executors now victorious over the first layer of Purgatory, the only way for them to go is further down. Thanks to the combined efforts of Kingslayer, Ariel and Mona, a path forward has been opened that leads down to the next layer of Purgatory. Rei looks ill at ease about this. If asked, she'll brush off the concern a bit, explaining that she's never gone this far down into Purgatory before and she doesn't know what lays ahead. It might be even more dangerous than the Underside. She's just glad they're all heading down together. So, once everyone's collected themselves... head down they to to the next layer of Purgatory... Welcome to Invidia. Congratulations on unlocking your first major location change in Can Cry! Feel free to use this arrival log to chronicle your initial misadventures in the city of Invidia. Investigation is strongly encouraged here as from here on out, plot progression will moved along by player involvement. If you want to unlock the next Underside, get investigating! All investigations that require mod oversight should be tagged with INVESTIGATION REQUEST in the subject line. Get out there and have fun!

let's investigating!

[ So! To start with, there's nothing visibly powering any of the equipment, no wires or panels or anything. This is Purgatory though, so that isn't necessarily super suspicious, it's just your run of the mill weird dream logic that seems to be at play here.

Fiddling around with some of the controls will get a few things to activate though – it seems like the whole thing is still functional and powered on, it just hasn't been used in a long time. ]

[ unfortunately the next memory in her Purgatory roadmap was alchemy and not mechanics—

so she's just going to... touch everything. if there are any clearly labelled buttons or switches, she'll read them, but she has absolutely no general knowledge here. she recovered the emotion Compulsive Desire To Mess With Things and is using it to the fullest. ]

[ A couple of LED displays on the console flash on and off as she fiddles with the controls, but nothing major – not until the central monitor suddenly bangs on, displaying a live feed of... oh! It's this very room.

Wave hi to yourself, Mona! ]

[ alright, steampunk technology is pretty advanced but this is definitely beyond her realm of experience now. she does actually wave, to see if the image moves with her, and she's suitably impressed when it does. it's not difficult to conclude that this is how the mysterious girl is putting herself on all the buildings.

except that this one is showing Mona herself, and the girl's is shown to the whole city. maybe there's a way to do that from here too? it would be a good way to get her attention so they can meet her in person and ask some questions about her being here. Mona is going to poke around with that in mind, but she thinks she might have to pass that idea off to someone else. ]

[ Indeed, no amount of messing with the controls here will have much of an effect on the screens out in the city. It's not that it isn't possible with this setup, but there's something wrong with the broadcast itself. Going by the errors that pop up when she tries, there seems to be some sort of condition that needs to be met that just isn't available to Mona right now. ]
