[You have escaped. Congratulations, surely all your problems are over and you can return to your apartments- Oh, wait, no.]

[As you escape against the backdrop of a burning building, there is no sky, no horizon. This fragment of a fallen city is surrounded only by black water, held at bay by a thin glass bubble. There is nothing to be seen beyond the bubble but the dark, for you are in a city of glittering and crumbling buildings deep within the abyss of the ocean.


The buildings themselves are old and decayed, but once they were shining futuristic metal, high rises towering to the sky far beyond the technology of Atuin and East Blue.


This is not a true city, a whole city, because you can see in the distance where it unnaturally ends, where the buildings and paths are sliced in two by the bubble’s wall. It is still the size of a small island.


If you stare at that bubble hard enough, you will notice the cracks on its surface, the occasional droplet of water beading and falling slowly to the decayed ground.]

[Well he's waiting politely by the door for his companion to show up like a good friend 8'>]

[And by waiting politely I actually mean pacing anxiously, fidgeting, peering up at the dome to wonder... how the hell they got all the way down here, occasionally waving a hand by his ear to banish the weird buzzy muttering]

[And by good friend I actually mean he wants to eat you Kappy 8'| Really really a lot]

[flowerview]

[Look Baron he can see you while he's coming up.

...Drawing out one of the magic syringes he took earlier. He only has two left. He better make them count.]

[provocate]

[Of course you can, he's not trying to hide!!! We're all totally the best of motherfuckin bros here dunno why you're being all twitchy about this]

[Continued pacing... although now the fire's starting to worry him a little so he moves a few feet away before continuing to wait. Wondering if Kappy maybe got caught in the fire? That would really suck...]

[flowerview]

[Kappy can play the waiting game, all right. Let Baron think he died in the fire.]

[provocate]

[r u sure bro the house is burning down around you... And he seems pretty determined to stick around, seeing how the rest of this city looks pretty dead. Kappy's the only for sure good meat around, that he knows of. Also he knows Kappy said he grabbed more then one syringe so... yes, he's probably gonna wait till he's a hundred percent sure Kappy's really really dead before he goes anywhere... whoops]

[flowerview]

[...Okay since Baron is standing a few feet away...

Let's see if we can sprint ahead sob]

[provocate]

[..................Kappy he's two feet taller then you is that really the extent of your plan skdfj]

[Luckily he's like... on the turning part of his pace, distracted by the fact they're underwater again when Kappy makes his break, so it takes him a moment to spot him... But then... yes, sprinting after him... laughing]

Wait, lowblood!

[flowerview]

[You try to plan when your nerves are fried broski

But yes he is running damn fast, hoping that he might be able to find some place to hide or lose the Baron or find someone else help.]

[floatingplot]

[You sprint past graffiti scrawled along the walls. Some is in paint, but where that ran out, the artist appears to have substituted... something more vital.

“THE END IS HERE
OUR GOD HAS ABANDONED US
WE ARE ALL FORSAKEN”

There are many empty, rotting high rises, but the only noise at all seems to be far in the distance ahead.]

[provocate]

[Momentarily distracted by the red? Enough to slow down ever so slightly, savor your momentary respite Kappy, but it's just...]

[It's the wrong red and it's dry anyway and he's so hungry aughalsdfjklas Pushing himself a little faster as he picks up the chase again @_@]

[flowerview]

[Kappy keeps running ahead, towards the direction of the noise, because that the only hope he has right now if it doesn't end up dooming him instead.]

[floatingplot]

[A distracting screen springs to life from a half-shattered screen.

Current events feed missing, beginning playback...
Rioters are once again out in force as social order breaks down. With no word from the royal family about contact with our God, it seems hopeless for us. Burning effigies of the Servants in the street is a common sight now, as w&*(error, playback corrupted.

The road continues ever onwards. It's still so far to the noise.]

[provocate]

[LKJSDF WHAT THE FUCK startled by the screen for a second but...]

[...he's so close now NO MORE RUNNING HE'S TIRED OF RUNNING gonna launch himself at Kappy's back, trying to drag him to the ground]

[flowerview]

[ahjfjkahfahfkj OH MY GOD NO SHIT SHIT SHIT

He's going down because Kappy is sadly very tiny.]

[provocate]

[omg if you broke those syringes with your stupid lowblood body he's gonna eat you]

[...or well. He's actually gonna do that anyway... but you get the... point... Biting his shoulder now... 8'|]

[flowerview]

[hfahfka kSCREAMING

SCREAMING VERY LOUDLY]

[provocate]

[Wow shut up jeez he hasn't even done anything to you yet????]

[The blood helps though, a little, and even if he wants to just kinda... strip the flesh off his bones now that he's got him, he actually has a far more pressing need to attend to]

[Lets him go suddenly and flips him over, straddling him and... pulling... at his clothes LSJDLFKJSDF LOOKING FOR THE SYRINGES I'M SORRY KAPPY]

[flowerview]

[jafhkjahkfhk PUNCHING AT THE BARON stop that you fishface!]

[snowandice]

[ ...this is not what i was expecting to see when i head towards burning buildings. Welp.

>Kick Baron in the face. 8| ]

[chargingher]

[Running over to try to help Kappy up!]

[provocate]

[Well then. Kicked in the face...??? Das rude you guys 8'| But he's surprised enough by it, that he does fall back and lsdjf lay there for a second...]

[And then... slowly getting to his feet?? He's gonna be pissed if you try to knock him down again. Sounds... more offended then anything though, peering over at the newcomers ffff]

Who are you...

[flowerview]

[Oh thank god people ;w;!!!! Scrambling to get up with Kagaya's help.]

[snowandice]

If I had been seeing your kind before, I would judge you as a monster of this city and kill you as you are.

[ Harshly, retrieving the gun she stole off the skeleton earlier: ]

You are having a choice. Either you continue to attack and I shoot you, or you can be calm and come with us so we can be going back to Atuin.

[chargingher]

Are you hurt? We'll help you get back.
