Last time on HolyQuest…
After reuniting within the labyrinth of the Anomaly which was consuming not only parts of Wishful's nightmare, but also the Hypnagogium itself, the party left with the help of the Phomesa. Vizsla came along as well, promising to make a brew which would help restore Renee to normal. Pryce, Ichimonji, and Spitshine spoke about various things, including Ecclesia's dysfunctional leadership, Spitshine considering going back to his father to try to exact revenge, as well as the status of the world. These talks abruptly ended when an enormous wheel, coated in silver and gold fire, landed in the plaza outside the Hypnagogium. A brilliantly-glowing figure began to appear above…

The figure is gargantuan, standing 3/4ths the height of the Hypnagogium's central tower. Its body is awash in brilliant white-gold light and flame, wearing it as a cloak. It is far too bright for you to focus on anything but its general silhouette without burning your eyes. It has the outline of a thin, tall U, with a spherical mass at its base, which extends into a taller pillar protruding skyward. An appendage extends from its base, like a hand, and slowly picks up the wheel.
>>653601
Ecc. A and F stand awestruck, mouths agape and limbs trembling. F falls over backward with a whimper when another appendage comes from the angel's base and extends in your direction. It raises its 'hand', 'palm' out, in a signal of peace. In the streets below, the crowd of demons begin to work themselves into a frenzy, laughing and chortling, bellowing savage challenges to the angel. The wheel dangles from the angel's hand, giving the angel a casual, relaxed appearance.
Ichimonji gets up and speaks in a lightly-warbling voice. "Move. Now. Things are about to get ugly."
Spitshine is immobile, still looking at you.
>>653600
The Sefer Yad's trembling grows worse and worse. It threatens to shiver right off your arm, as though it wants to run away. Volkama is more composed, backing away from the window. "About time… someone… did– urgh. Someone did something about those demons…"
He begins to stumble away and lean on a podium. "Do you smell… that? It's like… brine. Dead fish." He says with a mild gag.
You you begin to smell it too, just as he described. You also become aware of a chewing sound… (see below)

Vizsla goes back to stirring the cauldron. "Bother. An angel's turned up. Patient little younker. One of the ones what was chasing me and Mudi a few weeks ago. You dears stay indoors now. It's bound to get ugly out there."
She dips a spoon into the broth and pulls it out, smelling it. "Ah! All ready now." She turns and splashes some onto Renee's body. Renee does not react, but part of her body turns pink and translucent, going back to the relaxed state that it was earlier.
Renee begins to giggle, like she's got a secret, as Vizsla spoons out some more. "A-a-are you telling me… nobody else hears that?"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sz6uzasGnLg
You become aware of a chewing, crunching sound. The crackling of snapping wood, the pulpy mashing of waterlogged paper. The crunching and splattering comes from all around, as though the walls themselves were the source of the grinding. The odor of rancid seawater fills the air.
A hoofful of snow climbs out of Vizsla's pocket. It sprouts an arm and starts to crawl toward the stairs.
Ecclesians G and D turn pale as Renee begins to imitate the sound of splashing water.
>>653600
Finally, you hear a coughing retch come from outside, then something falls from the sky onto the pavement with a wet splat.

Shorthorns keeps a healthy distance away from the window, her eyes bulging out at the sheer size of this monstrosity. "That's a pretty big one…"
She turns to Vizsla, "He's only here to slaughter the demons, right? He has no qualms with us, he won't attack the tower, will he?"
She gasps as she finishes the concoction, "AH, FINALLY!" she shouts with a scamper to Renee's side, "Renee, how are you feeling? Your color is better, do you feel your head coming back? What are you talking about, hear wha-"
Shorthorn's freezes in place, a chill sent up her spine at the sound of the watery, mashy, crunching sound coming through the walls. She cringes, turning away from Renee to point her horns at the walls, "Neverm-mind, I hear it now. And stop that, will you," She says in response to the imitations, "You're scaring m… uh, the soldiers."
She walks up to the walls steadily, putting an ear against them to try and see if she can hear it in more detail.

Shei-sher soon after takes notice of the rancid smell and uncomfortable sounds "Ouughck! You're right!" He covers his nose and mouth while fighting his gag reflex "I envy the dead in hell -ogck who can not know such foul odors"
Shei runs down the tower stairs and throws himself out the front door to escape the horrible stench. He is too occupied coughing and gasping onto the ground to pay attention to the angel above.

Novelus stares in awe at the gigantic angel out the window, glimpses of bad memories flashing in his mind
''Visla…What is this angel doing here?…And why did it decided to appear just now?''
his body tenses up at the disturbing, disgusting sound however, and as much as he liked Renne, she wasn't helping…He gave her an disaproving glare with a hint of worry

Pryce glares up at the angel's form, expression unchanging at the sign of peace.
"We don't have anywhere we can move, and I won't be able to safely carry all of you if these creatures start fighting."
Pryce's horn glows, pulling off his bracelet and levitating it in front of him. It sparks as it attempts to spit out a set of lances, and is consumed by flames as Pryce attempts to form a canon around it.

"Heh, sounds like it's gonna get real fun outside in a few minutes," Flow remarks at the mention of the angel.
Flow's eyes focus on Renee as he body starts shifting colors until he's made aware of the sound and repulsive odor. He draws out Schlangenschwert and stabs at the snow with an arm.

The crunching and chewing stops, replaced with a labored, feverish breathing from above, around, even the floor. The walls and floor blur, their distinct colors and shadows melding together, until it is impossible to tell their depth. Observer's vision is assailed by a blur of pinks, yellows, and browns, condensing into a sphere-like shape. It bends space around it, causing Observer's head to swim and his third eye to strain. A shotgun blast of whimpering and growling, fearful and frustrated, explodes in his ears.
"I can see them!" Ecc. G says, looking through a window. "Sir Ichimonji and Pryce!" she picks up the JOY addicts on her back, legs and voice warbling in fear. "Please, they're in trouble! Let's go!"
>>653607
Renee jumps away from Vizsla as she splashes more potion onto her, more of her coat turning pink again. "It's close, isn't it? Heheheh… no! Get away! Away! I'll have none of your tricks, witch!"
Vizsla narrows her eyes, not appearing that concerned. "You're going to change your tone soon, you brat. Believe me."
>>653609
The sword bisects the snow pile. One half continues to flee toward the staircase. Noticing it, the pink-silver Renee lunges toward it and tries to grab it. "You're dead!"
[1d10+2]
As Vice and Trapper reach the stairs, they see that the stairs have grown to absurd lengths, each step as tall as Celestia, stretching hundreds of meters upward, until they are blocked off by an array of mold-wrapped wooden beams.
>>653606
The odor hardly decreases as you get outside. It begins to rain, but the sky is devoid of clouds. There is only the bright red moon, which appears far closer than before. The stars in the sky begin to vanish, one by one, starting with those closest to the moon.
A few meters ahead lies a mangled puddle of wood and waterlogged paper, and marionette strings. The twitching head is that of a doe. It is coated in some form of saliva.
>>653608
Nothing happens. The angel rears back its arm, each of its several joints creaking with metallic hisses, as the demons swarm toward it.

Pheo comes flapping out the tower after Shei. She squawks madly and follows Shei.
Shei-sher covers his mouth and nose again with his cloak. He breathes desperately through the fabric. Shei continues down the garden path to the puddle of debris. "Wha-what is this.." Shei-sher is awashed with anxiety, He slumps down to pick up the Doe's head with both hooves "It can't be.." he hardly flinches at the touch of salvia.

Shorthorns' legs begin to jump away quickly from the wall as the breathing takes its place, turning to look at all the blending of the walls and floors, finding it impossible to see where one ends and the other begins.
As she tries to make heads or tails of it, she hears the Ecclesian soldier calling out, "What?!" She turns to look out the window, "Ach, you're right! Come on, we're leaving now!"
She turns to look at the witch as she heals Renee, "Is she done?! We have to leave immediately!" She turns to the Ecclesians, "G-gather up the addicts, and see that the witch and Renee are out of here safely! I'll go help Sir Pryce."
She looks about one more time, trying to make sense of Renee's warning, before darting out the door after Ichimonji. She cries out as she sees her burnt new commander, "We have them all! We must leave the city, Ichimonji, Sir Pryce! Get down from there!"
[1d10] Reaching them if necessary to navigate through the crowd of demons, not engaging them yet to let the angel do the brunt of the work.

Flow looks all around him as the surroundings of him and his comrades shift and twist. He huffs out of frustration.
"What a day this' been eh?" he also scoffs when Vizsla calls Renee a brat.
Flow reaches down to pick up the snow half.
"I swear, if it's you, Nightseed…"
Meanwhile, Trapper tries to jump up to the stairs, despite how it towers over him. Vice, on the other hand, returns to Flow.
>"It seems as if time and space is being distorted again, sir."
Vice turns to Vizsla.
>"Madam Vizsla, we must evacuate immediately. Please hurry in curing Renee's ailment."

Pryce picks up his bracelet as it clatters to the ground with nothing to show.
"Why does my magic never want to work when I need it?!"
He grumbles, more frustrated than normal at the outcome.
As Ichimonji and the Eclesians run off, Pryce turns and runs after, not going to leave them alone with rampaging demons about.

The spell causes a rippling effect across the spherical surface, coloring a small white patch. The sphere jiggles, responding with another despairing cry. A spurt of water shoots from the spot you hit, expanding into a torrent as it approaches you.

It is the Phomesa, its 'life' hanging by a thin thread. Seawater leaks from its now-hollow body as you touch it. Its marble eyes, though inanimate, are glossed over with a rotten yellow texture, frozen in a look of horror as the bottom half of its head crumbles.

Renee appears to drain the water from the snow. It begins to shift and mutate, eventually forming into Nightseed, who is now half her original size, clutching a bleeding injury where Flow stabbed her. Her stump of a right arm has been bandaged up. She backs away against the wall, looking at Vizsla in fear.
Renee approaches Nightseed, her many eyes glowing white and pink.
"Oopsie!" Vizsla laughs as she knocks over the cauldron, spilling the contents onto Renee. Renee is bowled over with a yelp as the potion overwhelms her.
Vizsla laughs as Nightseed starts to scamper away with a whimper. "Better get that core in her, Flowy dear."

You and the Ecclesians hop a couple roofs over. Looking back, the angel hurls the wheel like a discus as the demons pour onto it. The wheel splits into fifteen more, shredding through the demons like wet parchment, annihilating much of the street and surrounding buildings with it, leaving a huge open path in the 'sea' of demons. The demons that latch onto the angel are annihilated in its silver-gold flames.
Ichimonji turns to you, clutching her side. "C'mon. If we go north then east around the towers we can get out through a gap in the wall. Double time!"

The spell causes a rippling effect across the spherical surface, coloring a small white patch. The sphere jiggles, responding with another despairing cry. A spurt of water shoots from the spot you hit, expanding into a torrent as it approaches you.

It is the Phomesa, its 'life' hanging by a thin thread. Seawater leaks from its now-hollow body as you touch it. Its marble eyes, though inanimate, are glossed over with a rotten yellow texture, frozen in a look of horror as the bottom half of its head crumbles.

Renee appears to drain the water from the snow. It begins to shift and mutate, eventually forming into Nightseed, who is now half her original size, clutching a bleeding injury where Flow stabbed her. Her stump of a right arm has been bandaged up. She backs away against the wall, looking at Vizsla in fear.
Renee approaches Nightseed, her many eyes glowing white and pink.
"Oopsie!" Vizsla laughs as she knocks over the cauldron, spilling the contents onto Renee. Renee is bowled over with a yelp as the potion overwhelms her.
Vizsla laughs as Nightseed starts to scamper away with a whimper. "Better get that core in her, Flowy dear."

Flow doesn't react to anything else other than Renee having the potion spilled on her. He dives down to scoop her goo away from the potion, putting her core back into the mass of her goo.

She shouts up at them "Pryce! Ichimonji! Thank the spirits, I thought I'd never see you again for a bit back there! Are we leaving this horrible place, how long until the bombs start?! I still have ponies inside the Hypnagogium, but they should be right behind me!"
She turns back to the Hypnagogium, seeing that the others have remained within, "Any moment now, that is!"

She stands back up, looking around as the rain grows stronger and stronger with each passing second. She shouts up towards the heavens, "Whoever is doing this, whether you're a spirit, demon, or angel, stop this! We are leaving this city!" She turns up at Ichimonji, "Commander, the bombs, the bombs! Are they going to fall?! I think I see the witch exiting, the others should follow suit soon."
She looks at the Angels and demon horde remaining, wondering how they're reacting to the sudden downpour.

"I'm not running away again."
She charges head on at the demons to get back to the Hypnagogium, "HAAAAAAAAAA!"

Vizsla is stunned, mouth hanging open. She grimaces, furrowing her brow, closing her eyes tightly. She presses her lips together, raising her hooves to her temple. "Just one question."
"Stir fry, or grilled?"
Vizsla explodes in uproarious cackling, tossing her head back. "Oh, please! They do not call us the 'Witches of Gehenna' for nothing. It takes more than a little beating and bruising to properly kill us weavers of curses and seekers of Tartarus. You've destroyed her physical form, sure, but that was just step one to putting her down. I hope she at least tasted good. I doubt I would, so don't get any ideas. I wouldn't be surprised if you saw her soul again– a setback like that will make her awfully ornery. But you needn't let it wrack your mind."
>>653637
You blast a sizable hole into the wall, revealing a vast, intestine-like network of circuitry beneath the surface. They sprout like Providence's many black arms, reaching for you. Ichimonji grips your shoulder. "Calm down! It's below you! Keep your wits about you!"
>>653639
Nightseed is unable to speak as you butcher her, leaving you with a bloody corpse. As you rush outside, you see that the angel and demons have moved northeast. The angel flings its wheel at the demons. Midair it segments into sixteen parts.
>>653638
No further water splashes you as you blast the sphere. It creates a deep crack in the surface instead of rippling, and you are rewarded with a horrendously shrill cry.
>>653641
You careen into the wall of demons, meeting them head-on as the angel's wheels shriek toward them. The sixteen wheels obliterate great chunks of the demons wall, eviscerating the streets and sending cobblestone and pieces of buildings flying.
The few remaining frenzied demons attack you, purple gunk dripping from their crocodile mouths.

You finish repairing the marionette as Volkama starts to fly backward through the hole with the ponies in his grasp. He cackles madly, his cheeks wet and eyes red. He slowly makes his way toward the wall.
The Phomesa sits up, shivering, intact. Its eyes have regained their original sheen. She clutches you, twitching intermittently.

"We can't. We need to catch up with the others and get out of here. Nightseed was right, the wave's coming."

It is like Circadia is being swallowed into the belly of Tartarus. And so we must leave now. If you have nowhere safe to go you may follow."
Shei waves out a window for his Gigganox. And when he comes, sits on its back with his pheonix nested inside his cloak. Shei-sher leaves for the direction their weather ship is.

As Vizsla hugs you in return, you feel your head clear. The struggling, worming sensation in your stomach fades slightly, and some clumps of unsightly, scraggly fur vanish. She pats your side. "Now get out of here, before the big wave comes. I'd hate to lose you, little sweetie. May we meet again."
With that, she melts again and slithers toward the wall. You see Observer and Flow's crew leave the Hypnagogium. Above, more and more stars are fading from sight. The moon now has a crack in it, near the base.

Flow attracts a clump of demons with the pistol shot, who turn to look at him. You notice that great chunks of the city have been demolished, leaving behind craters with metal wheels in them.

Volkama nods to you, waving and nodding, horrendous, incomprehensible spilling from his mouth. As you fly over with the Gigginox, you catch a glimpse of a sight far far down the wall. Pryce is continually flinging blasts of magic at the wall, while Ichimonji yells at him, riding on his back.

As they pull you closer, you blow away another enormous chunk of them, breaking off the ones that grabbed you. Fire explodes from your horn, in a far far greater quantity than you ever thought possible. Soon you see an opening on the other side that you could fly through.
All around you, people hiss and scream. They beg and howl, and you feel dozens of hooves touching and pulling at you. Chilling water shoots all along your body, up and down.

Ichimonji and Spitshine are on his back, yelling at him to calm down and 'snap out of it', but he seems to be in some kind of trance.

Vice shrugs in response.
"Don't know. I certainly hope so, damnit, otherwise I didn't do enough to Nightseed's corpse."
He seems to grind his teeth together.

She grimaces, "You found her?! And, she's dead then… good. It's just too bad we won't be able to give her a proper burial, but, I imagine the bombs will incinerate her all the same. Her ashes will spread to the winds. As good an end as we can give."

The voices do not let up, but two, constant strains, barely audible, urge you to wake up and not listen. They are vaguely familiar, one young and male, and another much older, female.
>>653669
>>653663
The vivid hallucinations subside as Shei performs his ritual. The voices, circuitry, and metal walls all vanish, and Pryce finds himself in the real world again.

As you run, more of the seemingly-endless tide of demons rush like water after you, hordes of them trampling over the ruins of the city, and even each other, as the angel cuts down more and more of them. In addition, the rushing of the waves has finally subsided. As you look at the coast, you see that a colossal tidal wave is approaching the city.
As you make it past the Hypnagogium and sprint toward the gap where Pryce and Shei are, the explosives detonate. Debris from the towers crushes the demons chasing after you. Amy and Flow lag behind, and are hit similarly, but keep going.
Flow 10/2
Amy 3/4
As you make it to the gap in the wall, you see that the weather factory is near the gap, just outside the wall. Its turned so that the entrance faces you. The Ecclesians who remained at Fort Arange are standing in the entranceway, shooting over your shoulders at any demons who are still following you.

Pryce keeps shouting back at the voices, until his voices starts to lower and fade with the hallucinations. His wings slow as he lowers down into the hole he burnt through the wall and slumps on the rock.
"Ughh, my head…"
He groan as he holds his head, followed by wiping at his nose with his hoof to rub off the odd smell.
He turns and looks at Shei.
"Shei, where'd you come from? "

Flaming gasps as the falling debris overtake Flow and Amy for a split second, fearing for their very lives before they finally manage to pull through, giving her a sigh of relief.
She watches the wall as they approach, "Come on, we're all almost there!"
She stops for a moment to look at Shei and Pryce hanging around the entrance, "What are you two doing? The explosives went off, we need to get on board!"
She begins pulling on Pryce and Shei's hooves towards the entryway to the Skylab, its shimmering sanctuary a welcome sight as she runs up. "Take off as soon as everyone's on board. Ichimonji!? Spitshine, did you make it on?!" She shouts within.

"The witch melted. In a good way," Amy says awkwardly as if she has something else on her mind.
However, her mind quickly drops all other subjects upon the description of a detonator. Her eyes go wide. "That's AWESOME!" she shouts like a child. "How does it do it? Can you just like point it at anything and it goes boom? What happens if you point it at the ground? Does the entire world just go boom? Or, is it like just a small area?"
>>653673
Amy takes note of the angel momentarily before the bombs cut off view of everything. Upon being hit, she simply shakes her head and then keeps running.

Flow tanks the debris and falters a little from the weight of the debris and Renee on his back. The three goos all rush Renee inside of the weather factory.
Flow lays Renee down on the ground and covers her with his raincoat while Vice and Trapper go back outside to make sure everyone else is safe and sound. Flow sits down and sets the wakizashi between him and Renee as he drink whatever water is left in his canteen.
Meanwhile, Vice tries another experiment with the flintlock pistol. Using some of the parchment Trapper found, he stuffs a tad bit inside the barrel of the flintlock pistol after the primer and powder is set. He then rams in one of the weather machine gun cartridges inside, and fires at the wall the party just went through.

As she runs, she asks, "How do you melt in a good way? That doesn't sound good at all."
As she gushes over the detonator, Shorthorns groans as she tries to scamper away from the explosions, "She pushes a button and things blow up! I don't know how they work, they just do that somehow! M-maybe we can ask her when we're on board!"

"eeaugh" Shei is not pleased about having shove a hoof up Pryce's nose. He wipes the hoof on spitshine.
"Oh, you know. Just from one of the hellholes every other monstrous exception for a pedestrian around here slinks out of. Pardon me but I need to carry on with my fleeing and you should too." He says as he's about to ride he gigganox out from here

The instant everyone is onboard the weather factory, it slowly, slowly rises again, fleeing southeast. Your eardrums threaten to shatter as thousands and thousands of gallons of seawater throw themselves onto the walls and the cities. Bricks and ice plummet from the wall, crashing down onto the ground below. The factory shakes as great quantities of far-flung debris manages to crash into it, but it holds intact, though some faint warning sirens hiss from the impact.
>>653674
As you enter the cockpit, you see River Spring, her head bandaged, slumped over the controls. An Ecclesian soldier holds her steady as she woozily pilots, not noticing you.

The Gigginox flies alongside the fleeing weather factory, with some nervous-looking Ecclesians preparing to shoot it. Ecclesian G sets down the JOY addicts and calms them down, assuring them it's not a threat. She nods at you.

Vice blinks and looks at the gun. He taps it a few times and tries firing again to no avail. He sighs in defeat and hangs his head low as he looks for Shei-Sher.
Flow sighs and pats Renee's unconscious body before he gets up. He takes the wakizashi and unsheathes it, examining the curvature of the blade and how different it felt from most other, in fact, all other swords he's handled before. He takes a few quick slices in the air before he tries slicing Trapper in half.

"If you keep heading southeast, we'll reach a town called Lilane, which we're using as a base of operations. There's also the Fort, but we cleared that out, so no point going there. If you want to check out Circadia again, well… don't do that, please." he says, backing away with River.

Flow blinks and examines the sword, turning it back and forth as he sighs, and sheathes it. Vice, still having the jammed flintlock, returns with his head still hanged low.
"Busted?"
Vice nods.
Flow pats Vice on the head.
"Don't sweat it, use Phase's till you get it fixed. Until then, let's have a duel. It's been a while since I've had a proper duel."
Vice smiles and nods as he draws out the longsword. The two stand several feet apart as they ready their swords.

"None of you come close to matching Volkama in raw magical strength. He must of had the worst time keeping sane than any one of us! And likely he was saving those ponies, what else would someone do with 70 ponies, sell them real estate?"
>>653699
"No Amy I'm not done squabbling with Shorthorns yet!"

One of the soldiers raises her hoof. "I did! When we were mobilizing to move out to pick you up, I saw him flying overhead. I think he must've crashlanded somewhere in the forests by the old Fort."

"They're… dead." Ecc. G announces. "I'm sorry. It must've been when I was dragging them up that ledge in the nightmare-whatever it was."

You slash each other, getting goo everywhere.
"Can you like… fucking not?" Ecc. B complains.
Trapper draws shorty and amy.
>>653692
"It's not very far. Here, just keep going… um… straight. Yes. That way. I'm… uh… sorry. I'm probably in your way." the soldier meekly says.

One of the Rumblers scampers out from the barracks and licks your face.

"Yeah… just… just tired." he says, slumped over, looking at the ground.

A few hours later, the airship lands in a cozy town nestled in some mountains, with a lake at the base, connecting to a forest. Its many houses are structured similarly to Circadia's. The second-biggest house appears to be an inn near the cliff, with a water pulley system. The houses have sloped roofs with adobe tiles. They look marvelously well-kept despite the apocalypse. Though there are some empty places where houses clearly used to be, possibly scrapped for resources. The town is surrounded by a newly-made wall of scrap, with a few guards on the wall.
Hunger, thirst, and exhaustion wash over all of you, except Shei, who isn't sleepy.
Observer parks the airship in one of the empty lots, and the soldiers pour out. Ichimonji hops out as well, now wearing many bandages over her burnt torso. She nods at the second-largest building. "In here. Got some baths and food for you lot."

Flaming groans, "Okay, okay! Hold on, I'm getting up…"
She struggles up to her legs, sore from the constant battle and running across the course of this horrifying day, and slowly wobbles over to Amy.
She plops down on top of the spread-out Amy, laying across her like a blanket. "There. We're hugging now."
>>653701
She nods her head, "You wouldn't even believe all the things we saw… I can't even begin to list them. We entered some kind of anamoly, and everything around us was warped, wrong…"
>>653702
"Hrmm…. whatever, that doesn't excuse what he did!"
She flattens her ears, "Actually, yeah, he might. Slavery is evidently a solid business around here…"

Her eyes squint, closing at the last second as she turns away. "Oh."
She press her head down the floor. "So… just the 18 then… its better than nothing. Anything is better than nothing. We did all we could, right…?"
She groans, pressing her head tighter into Amy's chest, starting to yawn. "I need a nap… don't wake me for a while, okay."
>>653704
As the hours pass by, the shake of the airship landing startles Shorthorns awake, spurring her to action, "Whuh… okay okay I'm up." She groggily gets up to her legs, turning out towards the window towards the peaceful town. She smiles at its much better kept condition.
"Wow… where are we?" She asks as she follows down with Ichimonji. She grumbles as she feels her belly ache. "Oh, yeah. Food please. Lots of food."

Flow grimaces at the floor, cursing how weak he's gotten.
"Come on…I've been awake for much longer, yet I feel so weary…why?!"
He punches Vice's head, leaving just his mouth intact.
>"Perhaps you're just exhausted from the strain you've been putting on yourself."
"Oh can it, smart mouth, I've been through almost all of this continent and I've managed fine, thank you very much!"
>>"Perhaps yer age is catchin' up to ye mate."
"You too, slick. Can it before I paint the walls with you. All I need is some water and I'll be good to go!"
Vice and Trapper hop off of the airship, both of them ready and raring to go, since they're not real goos per se. Flow kneels next to Renee and waits for her to see if she gets up on her own, her wakizashi on his back.

"Yeah, but to get those things, you have to get them from ponies. And, they can be our friends."
>>653702
Amy just gives Shei a little pouty face.
>>653705
>>653706
However, Flaming more than delivers, and Amy looks happy. She embraces Flaming with a simple smile on her face, and closes her eyes as well.
>>653704
>>653706
When Flaming gets up, Amy whines that her snugglenap was interupted. However, the mention of food quickly has her on her hooves. Unnaturally quickly. Like some sort of springloaded cardboard cutout at a shooting gallery.
"FOOD!?" Amy exclaims happily with the general facial expressions and body language of an excited dog.
"Food. Food. Food. Food," Amy hums in a sing-song tone as she bounces behind Ichimonji and Flaming.

"w-we're going to pick up right?"
They didn't pick him up. Shei decided when they land He'd go looking for him. He spent the time inbetween within his quarters patching himself up and listening to that diamond dog they picked up a while back play his banjo.
He also asked an ecclessian for geographical details and how to reach the forests by the old fort.
>>653705
>>653704
"Aaa-a-a-argh! You are stubborn like a rock. I don't care. I'm leaving to search for him." You see Shei has his things packed already for the trip. He has his Gigginox walk out the ship with him.

"Yea… this has been an exhausting day…"
>>653704
Pryce heads to the building wordlessly, practically dragging his body at this point. He skips the food and goes straight to a bath, after the running; squeezing his way through a demon bar twice; and the effects of the blood moon on his body, a long relaxing cleanse is the only thing on his mind at the offers.

Before the trip takes off, Flaming gives a little grunt a she's embraced, but she does not oppose it as the need for sleep quickly takes precedence.
>>653709
After arising and following off the ship, she grins and looks back at Amy as she gets excited about food.
"Hehehehhe. Hey! I thought you didn't like to eat food? Remember, I had to force you back on the guard in Zha to eat?"
>>653710
She growls after him, shouting, "And you're blind like a mole! Volkama is no good, Shei. The 70 ponies we should get back from him, but why are you defending him? Did you forget the first thing he did was try to blow us up?"
>>653712
She lowers her ears as she walks, grimacing. "I can remember too much of mine… not all of it was bad, but, most of it was. Lots of death… or things that felt like death."

Renee rolls out of bed, eventually getting up with a stretch and a yawn. She shakes each limb out, before being startled by your sight. "Oh! Why, good morning. Or… night. Guten Abend, whatever state we're in now."
She looks at the wakizashi, and a look of remembrance washes over her. "Ohhhh…"
>>653708
It looks pretty rough, both from before and after the escape from Circadia.
>>653710
As you hop back out, Onion and Ecc. G meet you outside. "You're not seriously going all the way back out there?" G asks. Onion puts his paw on her side, inching it toward her rump. Ecc. G quickly scoots away.
"I forget where I was going with that." Onion says. "But anyway if'n you need company or what, give the word."

Ichimonji leads you into a large bathhouse, where you see several Ecclesians, many of whom are wearing a thinner, lighter version of the coat that the soldiers wear. You suspect they must be Laity members.
There are several hallways in the building, each of which have a sign over them.

As you enter, you are approached by a pink pegasus stallion with a black septagram necklace and thin glasses. His white mane and tail are kept in a sharp zig-zag pattern.
"Hallo, hallo, you must be zhe new recruits, yes? Hand over zhe coats now, if you please." he says, gesturing at the coats that Ichimonji gave you when you signed up for the Congregation.

Flaming gives another snort, "Oh, right, that's what you said! Wow, you must really really need it then." She smirks, "I hope they have enough. I'm starving too."
>>653715
She looks around the large bathhouse as they enter, her stomach still grumbling all the while as they enter it. She smiles as she looks at the signs, "A bathhouse…? Wow, I can't remember the last time I had a bath. Must have been back in Zha." She takes a whiff of herself, nearly passing out between the several days hard travel and the putrid water that soaked into her clothes and fur in the anomaly. "Blegh."
She looks up at the pink pegasus, smiling up at him. "Hehe. You talk funny." She reaches behind her to pull of the coat, reaching up to give it to him. "Are these getting washed? Can you do a tunic too?"

Amy looks down at her coat which took her great pains and difficulty to put on correctly. She looks around awkwardly for a moment.
"Of course," she says slowly with shifty eyes. "I definitely know how to take this off."
Her hoof slowly fumbles with the button as she looks around casually as if nothing's wrong. "It definitely always takes me this long to get these DARN buttons undone," she says with growing frustration. "There's nothing unusual about any of this, no siree."
Suddenly, the first button comes undone. "Oh," she says happily. "That was a LOT easier than getting it on!"
She quickly slips the rest of the jacket off. She wasn't wearing anything underneath. Not that that matters. They're ponies.

Pryce continues walking towards the Hot Springs, ignoring the washrooms.
Reaching the spring, he drops his robe and bracelet at the side of the water, and sinks down in the water. The relaxing tides washing over him bring him much wanted ease, enough to doze off.

>>653715
Shei-sher sits atop his Gigginox on a saddle he fashioned from scrap leather seat cushions from inside the weather ship. His witching lantern hangs on stick pointing diagonally out from the saddle.
"What if he doesn't find his way back home? I can't just abandon him like that. This factory we hi-jacked was his homestead afterall."
Shei appears more jovial when responding to Onion. "I'd be glad to have you. If you care to join me. I do enjoy your folksy guitar playing."

"Ah, sie sprechen auch Pegasoot?"
He unsheathes the wakizashi and bows to Renee, holding it up.
"I had no idea you owned such a gorgeous weapon. You must tell me where you got it, I've never seen anything like it!"
Meanwhile, Trapper instantly decides to cause some mischief. He changes a few things about his face and slinks off to the female hot springs.

As for Vice, he approaches the pegasus with a curious look.

She remarks on him saddling up. "Do you have to go already? We just got here. You should rest up first, you'll wear yourself out. A warrior knows when she needs to recharge."

With Pryce disregarding the basic rules of the bathhouse, you enter the male hot spring and dip in. The hum of the bubbles and wildlife, combined with the warmth and hum of the water, totally relax your muscles, almost instantly getting quite sleepy. Other stallions are in the hot spring as well, but leave you be, as if sensing what you've been through from a distance.

"Food?" is all Amy can say. And, it's all she can do to not scream it at the top of her lungs out of excitement. She continues to bounce up and down like a nervous ball of energy. All the bouncing only serves to make her stomach growl loudly.

Flow takes off the scabbard from his back and spins the wakizashi in one hand before he sheathes the sword.
"I love it. It's so light, so fast! It cuts with ease, and is made of a durable material!"
He hugs Renee and pats her on the head.
"A valiant effort, mein Renee, but you didn't need to. It's up to me to fight off foes, right?" he beams at Renee, "after all, I've been doing it for decades now…"
His smile falters a little.
"A-anywyas, let's go."
He takes her by the hoof and leads her out of the factory.
Meanwhile, Vice bows his head.
"Gut, es war ein Vergnügen, Sir Keinmal."[Well, it's been a pleasure, Sir Keinmal]
He wanders to the mess hall.
Trapper on the other hand, continues on his mission to catch a better look at some mare anatomy for his drawings.

After submerging for a moment to get water through his mane and over his face, Pryce rests his head on the edge of the spring, looking up to the sky.
They saved as many addicts as they could, and a good portion of demons were wiped away by the angel, in their capital no less. All the rushing they've done the past few days accomplished so much, but he still feels unaccomplished. Maybe there was truth in his outburst, that he doesn't know what to do anymore. But, that worry drifts away in the water like his stress. For now, all he wants to do is sleep off this journey they've had since he came back to this world in Zha'Arklane.
And so he does. Eyes falling shut, Pryce falls to slumber as he lies in the hot spring.
>>653726
No response comes aside from the mild splashing from a shifting body as it sleeps.

"It's what he deser—"
Pryce says until he's rammed by Shei, tumbling across the ground as his sword falls to the ground with his focus broken.

Shei shakes off Renee's grip, hitting Pryce again while he's down.
>Pryce 0/2
The gray-pink mist conglomerates back into Renee's form, losing all gray hue in favor of Renee's pink, as she re-forms entirely in front of Pryce. Her body forms a circular barrier around him, its surface coating in ice.
You both hear a sound like breaking glass and an incredibly fast rush of hooves, followed by the shocked and worried gasps of Ecclesian bystanders.
"Nāozhǒng!" Ichimonji's furious voice growls. Shei is jabbed in the side with the butt of her sword, knocking him off his hooves. A heavy weight descends on him as his front arm is twisted behind his back, his face forced to the side.
"Huǒyǎn xiéshén, the both of you! I cannot believe– bloody hunters! Losing your minds in our home after we invited you in! Behavior like that attracts demons of the vilest echelons. You'll behave or share a tomb!"

Pryce grunts as Shei rams his ribs, horn glowing as he goes to lash back until Renee's surrounds him.
"Renee stay out of this! Flow tried to do that same thing, let me finish this if he won't surrender!"

Shei-Sher snarls and struggles against Ichimonji, digging his face into the muddy grass and chewing it in hysteria. Shei feels a deep sense of anger, shame, and unsatisfaction.

A coil of bitterly cold icy water seals around your front hooves. "Pryce, so help me gods, I'm not quite sure how I can do these, but I think I picked them up in Circadia, and I'm pretty sure I can break your arms if you don't knock it off!" Renee says, voice warbling just slightly.
>>657517
As you freeze yourself, you hear the drawing of a sword. A sharp prick touches the back of your neck.
"CUT THE MAGIC, DEMON-LOVER! YOU MOVE ONE HOOFWORTH AND I'M CUTTING YOU LIKE A PIG! DROP IT NOW!" Ichimonji screams, slightly muffled by the ice.
"Useless goo, what you waiting for? MOVE!" she shouts at Renee.
>>657516
You feel yourself being quickly dragged away from the vicinity, still within Renee's ice-dome.

Shei stops immediately once Ichimonji's blade touches his neck. Shei-sher can feel his heart pumping faster and more violently. Striking against his ribcage at a machinegun momentum. He feels hazy and the warmth from his pumping blood turns into a numbness.
Shei's cheek is pressed against the dirt, his right eye looks back at Ichimonji with a startling desperation, like he is pleading for her to let him freeze himself.

Pryce struggles at the ice freezing around his hooves, horn starting to glow to burn his way out. Until he hears the shakiness from Renee's voice. His horn dims and silences. His eyes shut and let lets out a breath.
"Fine."
He looks over at Shei as he's dragged away inside Renee.
"I got my payback."
He turns away, looking to the moving ground underneath.

"Oh I know that look quite well." Ichimonji slowly mutters, her voice losing intensity but her grip remaining rock-solid. "But it attracts demons. Have the decency to do it where nobody will find your corpse. Out in the swamps maybe. We can't have demons coming around here, or around Zha Arlakane. When your ship's done, go. You'll get a map and that's it."
>>657520
Eventually Renee stops moving. A brief whimper and heavy panting surrounds you. The pinkness of the ice-dome obscures any view you'd have of the outside.
"I… don't suppose this may very well be the… end to us traveling as a whole for… quite some time, will it?"

Last time, Flow approached the figure in the dark alley, whom he recognized faintly as Mfaniyabiashara, the zebra merchant hanging around the abandoned city of Circadia.
This time the figure seemed strange, however. Where before he was a normal-sized zebra, ordinary in appearance, this time he was much larger, coated in a deep red robe that outlined a voluminous figure, with all but his white-circled snout obscured.
An unseen shapeless appendage flicks a coin up and down, the same coin that caught your attention earlier.
"Looking's free, but the rest will cost you." he says dully after a long pause.

Trapper recoils in fear of Mfaniyabiashara's new appearance, and hides behind Flow.
>>"E-er, boss, I got a real bad feeling about this."
Flow ignores Trapper and moves forwards to greet Mfaniya.
"Hello sir, I believe we last met in Circadia."
He looks at his red robe.
"You certainly look much bigger, Mfaniyabiashara."

"These old duds? Mmm. I hardly notice the changes these days. Ought to buy myself a new form, now that you mention it. Came by for a new look, but stayed for the change in the air. Something funny in the air. A great change, sudden. Imperfect. Hu hu hu hu."
As you approach, it become almost harder to see him, the darkness bending around him to obscure his shape. The appendage appears insect-like up close, the appendage of some kind of crawling vermin.

Flow now starts to get a little cautious as he approaches Mfanya. The darkness that warps around himself is more than suspicious to Flow.
"A new form? Great change?" Flow chuckles, "I think it'd be better if I didn't ask."
He draws out his longsword and presents it to Mfanyabiashara.
"While I am here to buy some new equipment, I'd first like to ask if you could appraise this sword for me. I still wonder if it really is just a mundane sword."

Another appendage, humanoid in shape and ending in a hand with three splayed fingers, roughly takes the sword from you. Mfaniya cradles the sword closely as another appendage places on his nose a circular set of glasses, with flat, brilliant jewels for lenses. He holds the sword close, whispering to it, then turning it over, taking it out of its scabbard, holding it to his ear. He sniffs the flat then touches it with the tip of his tongue.
"Blegh!" he retches. "A well-made but empty Sutra of Pearl. I remember having one of these when dueling Tsukiji and Mangkor. Not as nice as this sinful thing. You'll want a strong soul fused with this thing first. As it is now, it's no better than a stick."

"It's a conniving promise made steel. Sutras are peddled by masters in their warm and bright monasteries, as they chant funny words and comb sandy gardens into nothing. Lies, every one."
"Fusing a soul to it is like adding evidence to a thesis. The stronger the soul, the more shrewd and convincing your argument. Gathering evidence is as simple as hitting something with it until it stops moving. The Sutra will do the rest."
One of the appendages, thin and segmented and covered in some kind of carapace, curls into an upside-down question mark you recognize faintly as a very very old gesture for money. "Give ya twenty chengs for it."

The coins disappear from your hoof, and in their place manifests a set of hairy, bony hands, hollowed-out to use like gloves. They have six fingers and end in long vicious claws. Mfaniya's size decreases slightly. His snout loses some of its lines and wrinkles, appearing a tiny bit more youthful.

"Yyyyyyesssss, it's something I might have found useful when I was your age," he answers. I'll go easy on your jelly: 152."

He also picks out the scarf. As a gift for Renee.
"How much for these?"

The shadows grow around him, deeper and darker, until they fade from a heavy darkness to the normal shade of an unlit alleyway. He is gone. Only indents of very large hooves remain in the grass where he stood.
