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.]

I'm sure someone has to have something stashed away.

[Mello's actually kicking himself that he hasn't been squirreling things away all along.]

We just have to hope they'll be reasonable about sharing.

We might be able to trade, if they're not willing to donate. I really wish the clinic were on this side - but frankly, they'll probably need it more.

[If monsters are flooding the streets.]

I guess this is a wakeup call - don't concentrate all the supplies in one area.

True. We just need to survive this first before we can worry about next time.

We'll manage one way or another. If we don't, we won't have long to regret it, anyway.

[Depressing, but.]

Also true. But let's make sure it doesn't come to that.

That's what I'd prefer, too.
