Week 13.

[azumods]

WEEK 13 The trip to Celestic Town is an unconventional one, though it's infinitely faster than walking and doesn't leave everyone feeling woozy in the same way that teleportation does. The town itself is a small one, though it's scenic, and there's a sort of beauty to it that's very rustic in nature; it's surrounded on both sides by mountainous routes that you're welcome to go on to both the west and the east, though it wouldn't be recommended that you venture too far out, seeing as they can be on the dangerous side for those who are unfamiliar with them. It seems Cynthia was right about one thing - there was certainly an incident at Lake Verity that went off almost as soon as you left, another of those deep pulses echoing through the surrounding area; it seems that whatever Mesprit did can be felt by the region as a whole, given that Celestic Town and the surrounding areas seem to have been affected as well despite being so far east of the lake. Cynthia herself can be found throughout the town for the duration, should anyone want to speak to her. Sometimes when left to her own devices, she can be seen in the company of a little girl who looks very similar to herself; sometimes she's with a pair of people much older. Either way, the family resemblance is strong. Lucas is here as well; he's still willing to speak to anyone that wants to, though he seems a bit subdued. Either way, it's been a long, harrowing trip so far; hopefully spending some time here will help to rejuvenate you.

[He only has the one hand, but it's still enough to scoop Henrietta off before she gets hurt, or Horace hurts himself. At least she stops thrashing a little, even if she's squawking indignantly now.]

Can't really blame them.

[niceoppai]

[She sighs a little and starts petting Sunflower, who is still stress-eating, and Rolly, who isn't throwing a fit but is starting to cry a little at the commotion.]

Yeah, no kidding. I guess it's worse on the ones who already had feelings and lost them than the babies we hatched. They don't know anything else.

[semistableman]

Yeah.

[He watches Donny calm down now that shitbird isn't picking on him. The Mudbray huffs in what's probably contentment. At least, he certainly looks more relaxed with what emotions he can feel.]

They're all doing really well, even so.

[niceoppai]

No kidding. The humans are gonna need some help too, huh?

[semistableman]

Yeah, definitely.

Being people, they'll be a lot better at hiding things, I imagine.

[Lucas not so much, probably? But he's a kid.]

[niceoppai]

Could be, but we were pretty freaked out at each other, ourselves.

[semistableman]

Yeah, but we're also strangers to this place. We were going to freak out regardless.

[niceoppai]

You've got a point. Still, I guess we're gonna have to check 'em all out. While we can. If Cyrus hasn't noticed us yet, he obviously will, and that means more running.

[semistableman]

Oh, he's noticed us.

[There are over twenty of them, and all three of the Guardians have been healed.]

To be honest, I'd rather not stay in this town for very long-- I'm worried about what'll happen to the folks here if they're found to be harboring us.

[niceoppai]

Which means lots of hiding and moving, huh.

[semistableman]

Unfortunately, yeah.
