Invidia Arrival Log

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!

[ He eyes her quietly for a moment... ]

...I am sure you were more useful than myself; all I did was avoid battle and fall for enemy traps whilst failing to figure out my own weapon.

[ He then takes a seat next to her, putting himself on her level so he's not just towering over her like some kind of winged giant. ]

You are certainly not the only one here who has likely not fought before. But the important thing was that you at least tried.

You do not need to be good at it or even "useful" right away. There will be other battles to grow and learn from.

[ she watches him sit beside her, a little bit awed by the gracefulness of the motion, how his wings move in such an easy way, the feathers shifting and settling. Mona would have thought they'd be a cumbersome thing, but Beast makes them look natural. it's a very pretty sight. she wonders if feathers are as soft as they look; and she's struck with a strange certainty that she shouldn't touch something so delicate.

that aside, his words are kind. it doesn't erase her worries, but it eases them, the sentiment more than anything else. they're all new to this, and they're all still fairly strangers to one another. it's a relief to know that she's not the only person struggling to adjust, as much as it is a relief to know that he's kind enough to reassure her. ]

... Thank you. That's very kind of you to say. [not "you're right," but she does seem to mean the words genuinely rather than as empty platitude. ] I just... don't want to be a burden to anyone.
