Those who've been exploring in search of the orbs... How have you fared? Have you encountered anything notable? Are there more dangers out there that we should be wary of?

I can report myself that I've seen no new enemies, although I've come across obstacles such as dust storms... and a location where the terrain became especially difficult to navigate. There are occasional ruins, as well, but I've found nothing unusual among them yet.

I know the main objective is to assist Hope, but we also have an opportunity to find out what we can of this world, as well. The more we uncover, the better off we'll be.

Alright so far
Could do without the dust storms, but
It's a small price to pay for getting Hope powered back up

Some of the cities are worse off than others. As for anything unique, we're in the same boat. Not a lot stands out to me yet.

Right. As much as I don't like that we have to trust in the gods... we do rely on Hope. We need him, more than anyone. That's why I'm glad to aid in this endeavor.

The cities I've seen so far have been in bad shape. Have you seen any that are better off? I assume no one's found inhabitants in any yet.

The change in scenery that I came across was at least welcome, even if it was challenging to cross.

Yeah. If it weren't for Hope,
we'd all be boned.

Not really.
Most of them are in ruin. In some of them, it can barely even be called a city anymore.

Yeah?
I guess it would be nice to see something besides all this desert.

We owe him much. I never thought I'd be saying that about any of the gods, but... I've grown to appreciate Hope, at least. Perhaps a couple of the others. Sometimes.

It makes me wonder what happened out there to put those cities into such ruin, and what happened to the inhabitants...

Yes... they're a bunch of rocky, rough hills. It's not easy to get across, and I'm still looking around the area. It was definitely a surprise to find anything different out there.

Sorrow is my man. Not, like, actually my man. I wish but that's not the point.

The Null happened, that's what. They fucked up this world and probably any others the gods were on.

Huh. Well, let me know if you find anything else about 'em. Sounds interesting.

(( ooc: heyo! i'm on hiatus until probably mid-april due to life stuff so i will still be painfully slow if you'd rather drop/handwave this and start something new when I get back lmk!!! ))

Yes… all in all, the gods aren’t as bad as I used to think. In fact… they all have some redeeming qualities.

Those Null are the true enemy. If only we’d known all along, perhaps been prepared for their attack… It is what it is, at this point. We can only prepare for the future and try to avoid similar devastation happening to us.

Will do. I’d like to explore the area thoroughly before I return.

[[ooc: No problem! I’m totally fine with letting things go if it’ll be a little while! It can be hard coming back from a hiatus with a lot of outstanding threads.]]
