THE TOWN SQUARE.

[Page silently watches the church burn for a little while, once she's emerged safely from it, before turning away and heading to the town square to meet up with everyone else. It makes sense to rest here, as they did last week, after another town with another tragic story to tell.

At least that time, however, they'd all survived it unscathed.

Once she's made it over to the group, she drops her pack onto the ground and collapses next to it, staring at her feet. It's going to take a bit to...process all of that, and while she'd love to get up in front of everyone and make some kind of rousing speech, she just doesn't have it in her at the moment.

Instead, she'll look up from the stone of the square, eventually, casting her eye over everyone and saying (almost to herself)-]


...I hope everyone is all right.

[That is likely far from true, but...well. They're all alive, Wesker is dead, and that's something. She's trying her best not to look at that little tree-sculpture with the key around its neck.


OOC: Second verse, same as the first! Here's our post-event mingle post, to talk about what the hell just happened in there, lick our wounds, and beg forgiveness from...from Flower Girl. Top-level away; Page will have her own up, if you'd like to talk to her.]

[...You know, it probably says something that Felicia doesn't seem to mind the headpatting, honestly. It's actually kind of nice; it reminds her of what Lady Corrin did with the people she likes sometimes, and it actually manages to pull a bit of a genuine giggle out of her.]

I'm...well, I'm doing as well as I can be. But I'll be fine too, I think. Today's just been...well, a lot.

[...]

I can't say I was expecting their God to be nice, but Wesker sure proved himself to be horrible really quick.

[Just hearing her giggle a little makes him feel better. As a group they were all a bit beat down and tired, but-- they were moving forward.]

He was so convinced we would fail... but we were able to overcome this much as a team. We should remember that. Today was difficult but I think... it was an important step in the right direction.

We really did work together well, didn't we? Everyone out there did so well today...and now we'll be able to see if we can put the Shimmer to rest too.

[...]

I don't...know if I want to celebrate--people still got hurt, and we need to watch out, but...it's proof that we've earned a little bit of optimism about our chances, at least.
