The Underground Opens / Journey to Guild

[afterlifer]

WHO: Everyone!
WHAT: School Festival Day 3: The Underground Opens / Journey to Guild
WHEN: 9/30/3013. Any time.
WHERE: Surface, passages to Guild, Guild.
WARNINGS: Fighting, language, freakouts!! Let me know if there's anything else!
SUMMARY: After dealing with the shadows for a day, The SSS finally managed to get a team down into Guild to clear out any shadows that had made it down that far already. The Underground is being announced as temporary cover and any may head down there if they choose to.

It'd been quite a few hours since the shadows had first appeared, but it wasn't as though no one had been doing anything. Everyone had been fighting, hiding, running-- anything they could to keep others safe. It wasn't much but around 3:00AM on the 30th, a mass series of text messages was sent out to everyone.

Message 1: Guild cleared of shadows. Need fighters to protect. SSS invites all to take shelter. Entrance in gym (seats pulled, take ladder in pull-out) or underwater through river. Find SSS member to lead you. Traps still set. Be careful. SSS will send out regular teams to fetch bodies who failed to get in. Can't disarm to keep shadows out. Attached is list in order of booby traps for Gym entrance.

Message 2: Ceiling Hammers (Just don't get hit)
Rolling Boulder- whole tunnel. Run. Take corridor on right.
Lasers- Use smoke bombs near entrance to see & dodge. Panel code is 44917.
Collapsing Ceiling- Run. Panel code 62108.
Go down hall, keep to edge or floor will fall into pit of spikes.
Get into underwater area. Swim through underwater hall. Head toward side with stairs.
Ignore puppy it is just a toy.
Don't fall down waterfall.
Take stairs and follow until reach Guild.

Message 3: You'll know it when you're there. Good luck. Text back if you need help. Some comps available here.

...For staying with Mary. [It seemed like such an odd thing to thank her for...]

Everyone was in such a panic, saving themselves... but I heard you trying to warn people, and you even risked yourself to make sure she wasn't all alone. I just... Thank you for doing that.

[He managed a small laugh, attempting to shoo away the doom and gloom.] Have you ever thought about joining the SSS? We could use that kind of selflessnes and bravery...

[There's another weak smile, but she casts her eyes away.]

I did what I felt was right, as I have been raised to do... But, with Mary... I must confess...

[She glances around, to make sure the child wasn't there.]

... There was selfishness there. I... I thought if I could save her, if I could physically make sure one person was safe, then my slate would be clean. That I could make up for all those I could not save before...

[Back on that dreadful island with Monokuma, where time and time again she couldn't save her precious companions.]

[frequent_flyer]

[His expression falters as she continues to speak, her reasons for coming to this purgatory suddenly that much clearer.]

I don't... think that's selfish.

[His voice drops down in volume, making sure that only she can hear it.] I... hurt a lot of people when I was alive. That's why I try so hard to take care of everyone now. [It wasn't physical injury, not usually, but he'd betrayed enough people and caused enough emotional damage to feel like human trash. He just wanted her to know that she wasn't the only one trying to atone.]

[He forces a small smile to return to his face, trying to break the somber mood between them.] That's why we're here, you know? We have to come to terms with what happened and try to make a difference now, where we don't have to worry about death or growing old or any of that...
