2nd Reading ❂ Trouble is brewing?

[l33t_magician]

[It had been some time since Brietta had addressed the populace. She'd seen no point in getting attached to the people here given her intention to leave, and fully believing that she still could. Leaving too early could spell disaster for her back home, but the longer she remained here the more she missed her friends and acquaintances. She wondered if any of them had been looking for her or thinking about her.

If only she could send them a message to let them know she was all right without letting her enemies know it as well.]

Has anyone noticed the townspeople acting .... a bit strange today?

[You could see a row of boarded up shops in the background. The merchants that usually ran them were no where inside, presumably hidden away safely inside.]

I wonder if it's some sort of holiday.

I notice them acting strangely every day.

[l33t_magician]

You have a point there. They are very different from the people back home... but still... something feels off this time.

[brosif]

Then they should tell us what is happening or they should send us back. I tire of vague prophecies in place of knowledge.

[l33t_magician]

I know what you mean. How do they expect us to be of any help to them at all if they don't confide their troubles in us.

[Not that I plan on helping them..]
