[ wow, she could still be an enemy?

robin won't come too much closer since he had his hand on a sword two seconds ago. ]

Hello there. Do you think it's a door that'll lead somewhere else?

[residentmerc]

[ listen no one he's met has attacked him so it's... unlikely. he is standing up straight hands off the sword at least!!! ]

Don't know. Wouldn't be the weirdest thing here. There's no indentation or anything I can find, though.

[sonorant]

It could be the access panel for it is somewhere else... or perhaps a puzzle needs to solved first for it to fully form.

[ there are many ways to get a door to open when you're from a video game. ]

[residentmerc]

Puzzle might be more likely. If there was an access panel or button, you'd think someone would've found it accidentally by now.

[ video game logic says so ]

[sonorant]

[ she looks thoughtful and starts walking around the tree, looking for some sort of puzzle indicator.

where is something to glow yellow when you need it? ]

What if someone found it accidentally but didn't realize it opened a door?

[residentmerc]

[ where is our YELLOW PAINT ]

You think it's one of those timed mechanisms? Could be. [ he looked around the tree himself so he lets her have it for now, crossing his arms and thinking ]

[sonorant]

If we eliminate all possibilities, we can only arrive to truth.

[ she crosses her arms once she completes a circle. ]

Nothing seems to stand out for now...

[residentmerc]

Didn't see anything in any of the other buildings that seemed part of a puzzle, either.

[ stares at this fake door like >:T ]

Maybe whatever we're missing to make it work is hidden in that fog.

[sonorant]

The fog that can only return us...

[ she makes a soft if slightly unhappy sound. ]

If only we could investigate within it. Or make it dissipate.

[residentmerc]

Probably whatever's making us go back is what's causing the fog in the first place. Dissipating it would be our best shot, but...

[ how tf they gonna do that with all their NOTHING ]

[sonorant]

A number I've spoken to... we don't have what we're used to that would make us more versatile.

[ helpful. useful. ]

Although nothing I'm usually able to do could do anything about a fog.

[residentmerc]

Yeah, a lot of people lost access to some of their skills. [ MAGIC!!! WHERE ARE YOU. ] Maybe something like wind could do something about this, but... if it's an enchanted fog, maybe not.

[sonorant]

It would be a battle of who has the better enchantment or stronger magic.

[ or if anyone has a cancel ability. ]

[residentmerc]

Think if anyone here had it, they wouldn't be stuck here in the first place.

[ all things considered. cancel abilities aren't real :/ ]

[sonorant]

[ cancel may not be real, but nihility is.

he is right and she agrees, but her ear wings droop a little. ]

It is wishful thinking, I know. I do not care for false hope, but right now, I do not want to simply wait for something new to appear or happen.

I feel like I will continue to walk in circles.

[residentmerc]

I'm not the kind to just sit back and wait for an answer either. There's gotta be something we're missing.

[ some kind of PLOT TRIGGER ]

[sonorant]

[ they need a mission objective. ]

If there were something readable by anyone, or someone, there could be some kind of hint for us to go off of.

Other than the haunted or abandoned atmosphere they've provided us.

[residentmerc]

Only thing with writing I've seen so far was that weird book in the church.

[ no one can call that a bible. it has demon writing in it. ]

Thought maybe our gear would turn up with some taunt, but... nothing.

[sonorant]

A taunt? That, the stained glass windows, and that we had to shed blood to receive our possessions...

It's all a little ominous.

[residentmerc]

Yeah. Whole thing paints a pretty grim picture. And there's not much to do against it.

[sonorant]

For now, at least. If those boxes showed up today, perhaps there will be something else tomorrow.

[residentmerc]

... Like they're slow dripping the information?

[sonorant]

I don't know. I don't know if I'd go so far as to say it is purposeful. We've only been here a day, so I can't say there is any pattern.

It's only a hope that information will come faster and sooner, despite the odds.

[residentmerc]

It might not be a pattern, but it's the only hint we've gotten so far. Even if it's not much of one.

[sonorant]

We're in a we'll take whatever we can get situation.
