THE TOWN SQUARE.

[atrueheroine]

[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.]

I can think of few better uses than burning that bastard.

[She'll shift her grenades around a bit, as she says that, as if looking for something to keep herself busy.]

But you're right. Considering how quickly he became aggressive, we were lucky to escape with two non-lethal injuries. Either Wesker was a dreadful shot, or he was just playing with us.

[Which implies escalation was bound to happen eventually, so...it's a good thing they sorted him out when they did.]

It would have been bad news trying to deal with him as we are.

[Trying to dash up the mountain with two people shot, while Wesker and Krauser (presumably) would have been running around being immortal disasters who really didn't need to eat, or presumably sleep or any of that stuff. A true zombie horror story with bonus cult status and invasive flora.

If he's having any issues with their first PVP experience, he isn't really showing it; maybe because he wasn't there for the end. There's just the pyre to deal with.

There's a long moment of thought -- he doesn't fidget, or shuffle, but he stares into the fire for a few moments before looking back over. It's still a little bright to stare at for long.]

Wesker, or the Shimmer. [who knows what the meteorite is doing] We still have a long way to go. So, you should be careful too, even if you are part of the combat division.

[Can y'all stop trying to get yourselves shot, is what he's saying, more or less explicitly here. It's rude.]

[That actually makes Page smile, though it's fairly devoid of mirth.]

You're not the first person to tell me to be careful. I didn't listen to the others, either.

[...at least she's referring to back home, and not here...]

But I'll try not to give you and the other medics any reason to be treating me. Just don't be surprised if I end up requiring it.

[....she was a tad concerned she'd be caught in the explosion of that grenade, but did that stop her hurling it? Absolutely not. Combat is combat.

...her smile will soften a bit, now.]

....you all did well today, by the way. That can't have been an easy situation to try and treat people in.
