ten ✤ video

[lingeringhope]

[In the background can be heard the thudding, drilling noises that started early this morning and haven't stopped for a moment since. While they're still faint enough that it's possible to ignore them, that won't be the case for long.

Hope looks determined, but there's worry visible there too.]

They've found us. If you are on this side, with Fear and I, we need your help. I would ask you to venture into the caves around the city and collapse them - Rage will provide explosives for this, or if you have abilities that make it possible, use them. Go as deep as you can and destroy them on the way back in. We need it to be as difficult as possible for them to get here.

[He winces as a particularly loud noise echoes through the cave.]

It will be dangerous. There are still monsters in there. But we have no other choice - this is the only way to ensure our survival until Fear can transport us out. Thank you for your help.

[The video flickers off. Hope's responses will be brief and limited, as he is quite busy trying to keep everyone alive.]

looks like fear's in luck. i'm going to help blow up the tunnels, and i'm scared shitless

don't let anything happen to wolfie. keep an eye on hannah. and if you're feeling really generous, i have fear's blessing

just... fucking be safe, even if you go out into the fog. especially then

[She's not worried you're worried shut the fuck up.]

I'd say something encouraging, but that'd kind of defeat the purpose here.

[Weirdly enough. Once again, what are their lives?]

I'll see if I can get Hannah and Wolfie to stay back at the house together. And the blessing's a really good idea; we'll see how it's going once you're done exploding shit and being all cool and whatever.

I'll be careful. You too, okay? I mean, think about how much I'll make fun of you if you blow yourself up.

[Surely that thought will both be an incentive and inspire terror.]

shall i list all the reasons this is a stupid idea? all the ways this could go wrong? all the ways wandering into the fucking fog could get you killed?

[What are their lives indeed. itisamystery.jpg, itisamystery.mp3]

I'm pretty sure I know them, but if you've got something to add go for it.

No you can't, it totally doesn't work that way. You only go out in a blaze of glory if you mean to do it, not if it's because you're incompetent.
