Was busy having a panic attack and hiding for most of it tbh

[mercedis]

apologies if it's included above and i missed it! cloud assisted with trying to organize the evacuation chaos so people in aldrip didnt get trampled to death.

In addition to fighting the tentacle monster, Reno stayed in town assisting the folks of Aldrip in evacuating, particularly (SIGHS) any kids or people otherwise unable to help themselves adequately u`_ u (to which he said you can pay me back later listen this isn't charity! okay! god!)

[redlines]

Roche wound up getting flung around by a few unruly roots while fighting the tentacle-root beast outside of Aldrip, and after returning back to the town he set about helping the people of Aldrip evacuate from their homes if they were stuck with what strength he had left from the monster after that little encounter, as well as doing what he could to keep them protected as they made their way to safety.

look just because they remind him of theater actors doesn't mean he hasn't grown a little fond of them 😔 plus they've also sorta been taking care of him so it's only fair that he returns the favor right

Ethlyn stole a bunch of first-aid stuff from people's homes and businesses but she promises she will go back and pay people for what she took.

HELLO MODS. I should've really asked this wayyy earlier, but.. i kinda kept forgetting.

So, re: Akechi's little theft during the event. I meant to ask if there's any official buildings around the town? like municipal hall or police station where one could find records of the people? either about the fellow Chosen or locals? Because honestly I was thinking that he'd try to find more information about Aldrip during his little crime spree.

[expiationmods]

The people of Expiation's world are a little too primitive for establishing official records regarding residences, people, or other like concepts. The information that they do have available is largely speculative and theoretical. There may be records of individual experiments that someone might have performed / executed, but nothing in terms of biographical or demographic data on the people.

That isn't to say, however, that a character wouldn't be able to make something like that a possibility, were they willing to pursue such an undertaking...

[murderingjustice]

how is this place functioning lmao..

ANYWAY, that's very interesting. I'd defs be interested in pursuing this. I'll be getting back to you once I get my thoughts together!!
