Gatchapon

The sensation is like being dragged through a cloud. A heavy, roiling nimbus which pervades your eyes, your ears, your skin, and what feels like your very soul. Or what's left of it.

Your eyes squeeze shut and when they open....well you know this place already, there was much ado about lampposts in this square not too long ago. But what you haven't known in how many weeks is the sun hanging high overhead, not stuck in a perpetual state of Twilight but properly shining in the sky.

The sun feels good and you feel more whole than you have in a while. Those are all inexplicably good things, and they should be celebrated. But the mark on your body, faded but still visible warns of something still more to come. And for those who have been missing a part of themselves for longer than that..it's just a whisper of a feeling, but it is very much real.

Welcome to Krakow, for real this time. For however long it lasts, at least.

[kristened]

[ She steps into the middle of the group, petite in stature but radiant in flames that still flicker at her hands. ]

You have questions, and I owe you answers. But first allow me to properly introduce myself. I am Miyashiro Erika Wagner, the Fourth Executor of Licht Kreis and guardian of the Night.

And you, against all odds...have survived, turned a false life into a near facsimile of a real one. That insolent woman may be a coward, but the title she gave to you all is apt. Ask of me what you wish, but you have not yet achieved your rebirth and you are my responsibility until you have. If you make to leave this quarantined area, you will be dealt with.

I do have backup, after all. [ There's a look at a certain someone as she says this, followed by the sound of swords being drawn. In the distance stand lines of plated soldiers, encroached around the square in a circle. ]

[tokihanate]

[ !!! ]

Hi. So what would you prefer? [ Because he doesn't think you'd appreciate being on a first name basis. ]

[kristened]

Wagner. [ Damn straight no one calls her Erika except Orie. ]

And for you... Hyoubu-san?

[notbymyside]

[Yyyyyyeah he's going to stay put. He needs to see this through to the end anyway, he has no desire to leave without at least a couple someones in tow.]

How do we get the others out?

[tokihanate]

That's fine with me. Pleased to meet you, Wagner. [ He holds out a hand to her. ]

[apothecares]

[The sun feels warm and weighty on his skin, harsh in the way scrubbing a second skin of grime off is and just as freeing.

It’s with a discerning eye that he looks over their guardian and her army, before rubbing at the muscle in his shoulder and grinning]

Nice ta properly meet ya! If we can’t leave this area, there something else we can do to help?

[kristened]

[ After a second she takes his hand, her shake firm. ]

Likewise, though this feels unnecessary. [ The handshake she means. ]

[kristened]

[ She closes her eyes. ]

You don't. I still can't access the Night, but I expect that to change soon.

[kristened]

[ What is smiling, this is her battle face. ]

Do your best to not turn into a manifestation. Your vessels aren't fully stabilized yet.

[tokihanate]

Should I kiss your hand instead? You are our savior in a way.

[notbymyside]

And when that changes, that is when they will be free?

[Sorry for his one-track mind here.]

[kristened]

A-Absolutely not! [ This was much easier when she had her full battlegear on and you couldn't see her fluster. ]

None of this is necessary, I saved you because it was my duty.

[tokihanate]

[ He chuckles lightly and nods. ]

I understand. [ You have to keep appearances around people after all~ ]

So, what's next?

[kristened]

[ ............. ]

That woman is planning to end the Night, by opening the Door to the Abyss. If she is successful, none of us will be free.

[twoasone]

Somehow I knew it wouldn't be that easy.

[ It's a good thing he had the top he arrived in clean and ready to go. He's rolled up his oversized sleeves a bit lower than he usually does, just enough to hide the fins from public view. ]

Speaking of responsibilities, we've done quite a bit of snooping about while we were trying to save ourselves, and I think you'd like to know more about what that woman's done to the night.

[kristened]

Rest, I refuse to deal with more paperwork after what happened in the Twilight. [ It sounds unrepentant, but she looks away as she speaks. ]

[kristened]

Tell me, though I believe I already have an idea.

[tokihanate]

Got it. How about something cold and delicious for the kids? [ reacchess for a headpat. ] And you could join us for a little bit.

We did find out some last minute things. Apparently she's been traveling between Day and Night.

[kristened]

[ She's about to move away from the headpat but freezes at the last bit. ]

What do you mean?

[notbymyside]

Ah.

[That term doesn't really mean much to Ango, but he can guess that it's important and bad, so he's rolling with it.]

Then stopping that fate is more important. But that is something for the living to do, then?

[twoasone]

[Glares...]

Lovely. We have to rely on those stuck in the Night to figure that out.

[You have no idea how bitter his is about being stuck in the day like this.]

[tokihanate]

Hmm. Apparently while she was experimenting, she had been freely moving back and forth or something? And the unending Night was the doing of remmywemmy.

[tokihanate]

Wasn't the rumors to... close it?

[kristened]

In births like myself are able to traverse through the Night freely, but that coward is not one. So the key to her travel and the never ending Night is was her dog. [ She crosses her arms. ]

Were you able to gather more information about him?

[kristened]

For those in the Night, yes. But if that happens she will emerge here. I have not stopped looking for a way into the Night, but it's far more than likely that I will not be able to get inside until it's too late.
