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.]

[Grace was nearly about to scold him for being up on his feet, but decides against it when she approaches the burning church as well. How many times have things ended with something going up in flames now?]

What's on your mind?

[notjustawriter]

Do you think it's always going to end like this?

I'm gettin' real sick of fire being the solution to our problems.

[Honestly, he should probably be in therapy over shoving someone he considered a friend into a lit furnace, but who the hell would even believe him?]

[Sadly, there aren't very many therapists out there equipped to deal with the supernatural. She's checked.]

God, I hope not. If there's some way to put a stop to all of this without burning it all down, we've got to find it.

[notjustawriter]

Agreed.

If there are any more people here...

[God, it's horrible to think about.]

[me_underfire]

The other guy, Krauser? He's lucid, even after being here for so long. They're not all too far gone. We have to try to get them out, at least.

[notjustawriter]

I wonder if someone who has been here for what's probably years can really be freed by this vanishing, though.

Will they be people if this place vanishes, or will it be like Wolfgang, or worse?

[me_underfire]

If they can get out, maybe they can heal. They might not be the same but it has to be better than being in here.

[notjustawriter]

Maybe. But I'm wondering... what if they're too far gone?

Not bein' human anymore is one thing, but what happens if they vanish with the Shimmer?
