As if on cue, a door in the room where Glade was trapped is blasted away in a parade of sparks and bits of metal shards.

Rasha emerges from the opening. He looks like an absolute mess. His vest and shirt are off, leaving his dirty, ragged t-shirt exposed. His hair is a wild bush and his fur is speckled with grit.

"Rina!" he says, marching over to her with shotgun in hand. "Rina, we need to talk." Rina eyes Glade and the wolf nods. The two step out into the hallway.

"Rina, something fucking crazy happened to me out there. I really can't explain it...but I witnessed something just outright BIZARRE. It opened my eyes, Rina. It made me...realize how fucking worthless I am...WITHOUT YOU. Rina, you are my goddamned STEPPING STONE. You are my CRUTCH!" Rina is completely speechless. She opens her muzzle slightly, unable to speak. "No one has ever cared about me. No one except you, Rina. I'm so alone...when you aren't around. I have to do something about this. What if something happens to you? What will I do? This is what I have to fix." He grasps Rina's arms tightly, gazing at her with bloodshot eyes. "But how? How can I do it, Rina? How can I fix myself?"

"you need to realize there are more forms of caring then just love. you can make friends. i can introduce you to people but you need to seal the deal."

>>432727
This.
Also say that things such as this take time, Convalescence of the mind begins with acceptance and understanding.

"That's simple, just walk, eat, sleep, fuck, get a hobby, talk with people you can actually stand, get an ambition, etc. though in all honesty to do any of that we're gonna have to deal with this darkness thing first. Sorry to be so vulgar and to the point, but Harry just murdered the nurse from the hospital in front of us and we really need to start kicking things up a notch before we get existential and he tries some weird thing that doesn't actually help anybody."

If he's reacting this way i wonder what her brother will be like when we get to him.

>>432720

As cruel as it may sound...

Beep his nose, then pull him into a hug. Tell Rasha that he's being silly. This place gets into your head and screws with your thoughts. The only thing he needs to "fix" right now is probably a shower. Or two. I've a feeling you guys haven't really been able to keep yourselves terribly presentable lately.

This calls for something a little more intense than that.

After they pull away, Rina slaps her hands on Rasha's chest gently. "It's simple, Rasha. There are more forms of caring than just love. You have to realize you're trapping yourself in a shell...in your own world. I can help you break free of that world..."

"...after we break out of THIS one," Rina says as she slowly paces away from Rasha a few steps.

"But...how?" Rasha says, seeming almost embarrassed about his little episode.

"I don't even fucking know. We'll find some way I guess," she simply replies. Rina hates that she is acting this way. She is UNCHARACTERISTICALLY angry and it wouldn't have a good effect on everyone around her, but at this point there would be no way to quench the wildfire burning in her. She thought about it before, but now sitting around is the last thing she wanted to do. She wanted badly to solve all this...to obliterate every fucking speck of Darkness she could find.

"What'll we do now?" Rasha asks.

>>432914

> "What'll we do now?" Rasha asks.

Kick some darkness ass.

hah Rasha has an awkward boner, poor guy. Didn't even stare actively at the crotch and yet you know it's there. It's just so out there, or Rasha has some baggy ass jeans with a weird zipper.

As for an actual suggestion, look for Leon. Let's look for a storehouse where'd they would store drugs, unlike Glade's and Rasha's psychological problems, Leon has an addiction which is just as physical as it is mental, so even if we helped out with the mental reason why he drinks, he still has to drink to stave away withdrawal or use his willpower.

Find your brother first. With Harry running around with a gun he's in serious danger.

I also suggest we look for Leon.

"We need to find my brother," Rina says, leaning her back against the wall.

"I haven't seen him anywhere. At least not after that incident outside..." Rasha states, appearing to return back to his normal self. He puts his back against the wall too, next to Rina. "Where do you want to head first?"

"I don't know," Rina says, closing her eyes and scratching the back of her head. "Let me think."

"Rina...I'm sorry about that," Rasha speaks up after a brief silence.

"About what?"

"That outburst...back there. That was unlike me. I can usually keep my cool...but I'm not saying all of that was a lie. You're right. I need to get out there...find SOMETHING that can define life a little differently than what I'm used to."

Rina doesn't say anything, and continues to think. Where could Leon be? He could be anywhere!

Maybe we should check outside?

>>433697

Yes, definitely outside. I wonder what those numbers mean though?

>>433706

Some strange feeling inside Rina urges her to conduct a search outside for her brother.

"Outside. We have to go outside. Do you know where an exit is?" Rina asks Rasha. He nods.

"Yeah, I believe there was one near where I broke that door down. This way." With that, the three head back through the door Rasha came from and, sure enough, there is an exit - a set of double doors. For some reason, it is locked.

"Step back," Rasha says, readying his shotgun and firing at the lock a couple times.

The doors swing open only to reveal a black mass covering the opening. The soft light of dawn pours in from the gaping holes of the mass.

"What the hell is this?" Rasha says in disbelief. Rina's thinks on what to do.

Well, we need some acid that can melt shit.
LEt's go around looking for some sulfuric acid. If you can't climb under one of the holes or tear it off with protected hands.

Rina remembers she still has some of that liquid left in the small bottle. It melted the black mass before.

Rina uses a few drips and waits. There is a sizzle and the mass seems to wriggle and writhe a bit, but that is all it does.

"They're learning from my tricks..." Rina thinks to herself. All the rest of the acid that was left in the bottle is now gone.

>>435593
Bah. Well, fire worked before, and I doubt the mass can get resistant to FIRE. Or you could just cut it at the sides. Let's try cutting it before we ask if anyone's got anything particularly flammable or if they know where some is.

Also let's leave the keys behind when we leave; we don't need them anymore and we could use the space.

Find an aerosol can and lighter? Or gasoline and matches?

Rina turns over to Rasha and Glade. She asks, "Anyone got fire? Anything flammable?" Rasha shuffles nervously.

"Well, uh. I got a lighter. Found it in some sort of lounge. I also found..uh..." Rina approaches him and takes the lighter, discarding the two keys in her possession. She notices he also has a box of cigarettes on him.

"You said you were going to quit."

"I'm sorry, I just...um. I didn't smoke anything, I swear!" Rina doesn't smell the stale, harsh stench of cigarettes on his breath, so he must be telling the truth. She sighs. The withdrawal is probably getting to him too.

Rina uses the lighter on the mass. Nothing.

"Jesus Christ, is anything going to work on this thing?"

looks like we are stuck in here until we kill it. go back inwards.

We need to find something else...

Or you could try shooting it. Depends on how much ammo's left for the shotgun and pistol.

Then again the gaps in the webbing look pretty big. Maybe we can just squeeze through?

Could get some rope and grapple off the roof.

>>436264
Wait, I got it.
Focus the flashlight on it to burn away the Darkness.

I cast ...Magic Missile!

Hmmmmmm, here's an idea: Go to that electric socket back there, take off the wall plate, CAREFULLY pull the wires out and electrocute the black mass. If fire and acid stopped working then maybe electricity will.

Rina wishes to conserve the little ammo she has left in her clip. She's pretty sure Rasha doesn't have extra buckshot packed on him either.

Rina doesn't want to run the risk of touching it. She has no clue what this disgusting mass is capable of. The Darkness is evolving with every second it seems.

> Focus the flashlight on it to burn away the Darkness.

Rina tries using the UV flashlight on the mass. A horrible shrieking sound comes out of the mass as it quickly shrivels and burns away into ashes in the beam of light. Rina has no idea how the UV rays were capable of damaging it, but there is no time to ponder on it. She gestures for Rasha and Glade to follow and the trio head outside.

Leon is not far away. He is attached to the wall tightly by more of the black shit. He groans miserably, his eyes closed. He opens his eyelids a crack and notices Rina.

"Rina? You're still around? I thought...I thought I lost you guys for good," he weakly wriggles, helpless against the black mass's grip. "You should just go...go without me. I'm a failure anyway. I'm just going to slow you down."

>>437024
Tell him he's being silly, and you'll help him out of that bind he's in. Then shine the UV to get rid of the black stuff.

Next time we meet a husk, let's try using the flashlight on them. Or did we try that once before?

"Ok."

Leave him behind.

"you're my brother. you may be a bit of a lout sometimes but i still love ya."

Why would you slow us down?
Seriously, peeling off this shit is as easy as flashing a light.
Plus, you're damn good with a bat and surprising people. Pretty valuable to me. More the merrier.

More UV time. This gives me an idea. Everybody go to the nearest abandoned store and make UV reactive clothing, especially cyber goth pants. Then wear UV lights and be the darkness' walking apocalypse.

Rina falls to the ground in a heap. This is undoubtedly, UNDOUBTEDLY, the worst pain she has ever felt. EVER. She never wanted to know what it fealt like to be shot. An agonizing heat coursed through her veins from the wound on her arm, horrible pain pulsating across it. Tears stream down Rina's cheeks and she bellows in pain. A figure looms over her. Regardless of its mutated state, it looks familiar. It wears a police uniform.

"SHOOT IT! FUCKING SHOOT IT NOW! HOLY FUCKING SHIT!" Rina screams, trying to quell the raging pain of her bullet wound.

Rasha rushes forward, points his shotgun while still at a distance from the husk and shoots, a deafening boom accompanying the parade of buckshot. A couple penetrate the husk's skull. It staggers, but it still stands on its feet.

Leon struggles violently, looking absolutely horrified. He looks down at Rina.

"Rina! Rina, hang in there! I'm gonna...FUCK! Rina, don't die on me! Oh my fucking God!" he is absolutely hysterical.

"Arms MOTHERFUCKER! ARMS! They can't do jack without arms. Glade, the light, get the fucking light. Leon, I ain't dying, fuck dying. Me dying gets everyone 1000 years shit luck under some vague-ass dark god. FUCK that shit."

"Leon, I'm fucking fine! I'm not dying, goddamnit! SHOOT HIS FUCKING ARMS, RASHA!" Rina screams. She feels like an absolute idiot cursing the way she is, but it helps to ease the stinging pain on her left arm, which is starting to feel a bit numb.

Rasha steps in a little further. While the husk is distracted, Rina crawls with all the strength she can muster and reaches out for the flashlight with her right arm.

Rasha fires another buckshot, most of it hitting its torso and left arm. It takes a couple steps back, winded by the force of the shot. Rina points the flashlight at the husk. It covers its face from the light, but other than that it does not appear to be doing much else.

>>438216
Hey, it dropped the gun. Get that away from it and knock it over and around etc, and we're good. Shine the light on Leon (telling him to close his eyes first because UV+eyes=bad) to free him.

Rina scrambles onto her feet and kicks the dropped firearm away from the husk. She deals a hefty blow to its torso with a front kick, knocking it off its feet. It sprawls on the ground, twitching.

While it's incapacitated, Rina instructs Leon, "Close your eyes!" Leon does so and Rina shines the UV flashlight on the black mass sticking him to the wall, melting it away in almost an instant.

Leon almost immediately dashes over to the downed husk, growling viciously. Disregarding his own safety, Leon sits on the husk and starts to beat its head into a pulp.

"I'll fucking teach you to fuck with my sister!" he snarls as he continues his violent pounding. Rina stumbles a bit, dizzy from the loss of blood. She wants to say something to Leon, to tell him to calm the fuck down, but she is mesmerized. Even in his state of hopelessness and depression, Leon still cared dearly for his sister, no matter what she thought of him.

"No more of that defeatist talk now, you hear me Leon?
Also, can anybody get me a bandage before I pass out?"

Just try to get Leon's attention, to break him out of his rage. Tell him good work, and just to hold the thing down until we're ready to go.

Now this is the kind of senseless beatings and unconditional violence everybody should learn about, children for generations will know this lesson and apply it with blunt force trauma of joy.

"Leon...look at you." He turns slightly, looking downward as if ashamed. "No more of that defeatest talk. Got it?" He looks back up at Rina, confused.

"What?" he says, his voice hoarse. Rina smiles, but winces almost immediately after.

"Jesus Christ, does ANYONE have a health kit or something?"

Suddenly, a very loud noise that sounds like a mix between a heavy wind and sucking comes from behind. A familiar black wisp emanates from the husk and knocks Leon off. It careens into the air, arcs, and dives...

Glade very slowly approaches. "Rina, just calm down. You must understand it is best I do not enter your body at this moment, for you are injured. Your health continues to deteroriate. I can help. Allow me."

The last time we were injured and Light was in you, a black growth appeared at the injury site. It makes sense that she would hesitate to enter your body again while you are injured, if that is a thing that always happens. WHY does it happen though? Better clear that up before we let her mess with your wound.

"Alright..." Rina says warily. Glade smiles and approaches Rina, putting her hand on Rina's wound. Rina winces as a sizzling sound comes from her wound. A misty black smoke slithers out between Glade's fingers. Regardless of the burning sensation, Rina feels her wound becoming less and less painful.

Let me guess. This Light lady is actually Nysindra in disguise? Or maybe Glade isn't being possessed by "Light" at all. At any rate, black smoke didn't sound good. Look at your wound. If it's got black ickiness in it, then Glade is likely possessed by Nysindra and Moth/Black Cloak just showed up to protect us.

>>441873
Take a quick look at the wound, then shout "GET AWAY FROM HER!" and aim your weapon at the dark bird.

Huh, so she's curing your wound by cauterizing your entire limb. That would definitely be less painful than being shot. I hope you don't mind not having a forearm though.

"Fool! Do you really put your faith in that abomination? If you don't wish to stop this at my side, perhaps your wolf friend will prove a more able ally," she says.

"Woman, I'm mortal. I don't understand half of this shit. Be a little considerate, christ. Get out of Glade, there's no point to this petty madness. If you really want to stop this, work with the chill moth dude. He's not an abomination. You godlike types should stop insulting each other."

She's a weird demoness. She wants to stop it. So, she's not completely evil I suppose. But we've sided with Mothman for now. So we got three cosmic god things fighting each other. One's directly evil, one's a conniving bitch, and the other is a vague as fuck but polite moth dude.

"Hey! I don't even understand half of this shit! I don't get what's going on between you two, but seriously, get out of Glade already! We can team up and stop this together! Whatever beef you two have with each other can be put off for now!" Rina says.

Glade scoffs. "Still hopelessly ignorant. I hope the weight of the truth isn't too much for you to bear. You look like you've already made your decision, vixen. I gave you another chance, and now this looks like it will have to be done in a not-so-easy fashion thanks to our aggravating little friend here...but perhaps I can give you one last chance. Let me enter you again. Your injuries should be sustained by now. Can you not trust me after that?"

Sorry about trying to negotiate Mothdude. We just really care about our friend.

Don't let the demon back inside you.

We may have to kill Glade, but I hope it doesn't come to that. Better would be to restrain her via your brother and boyfriend- I feel that if you engaged in physical contact you would be vulnerable.

Nope. No way.

Surprisingly, it is! It's nothing but a scab now. No sign of any of the black shit.

Rina glares at Glade for a moment, but rejects. "No. You obviously did that to get my trust."

Glade's fur and hair seem to rise as a small gust picks up. "Very well," the Light says. With that, Glade launches her left hand forward, sending out a devastating hurricane in Rina's direction. Everyone but the black creature is lifted effortlessly off their feet.

A cacophony of crumbling rumble, flailing leaf clusters, and screams fill the air, although Rina's hearing has drastically degraded. All the noise is overlapped by the ringing in her ears. Her entire body aches and Rina struggles to open her eyes. She is tired. So so tired.

Yep. Definitely Nysindra. Control of wind is her domain.

Rina struggles to get herself onto her knees. Her vision still swims and her hearing compromised as she sees Rasha sprawled on the ground and Leon next to him, shouting out something. She can hardly hear him or anything that is going on.

Go see what happened to Rasha. Also get a visual on Glade.

Is Moth offering you a hand? Wing? Something?

You have a concussion, Rina. Stay awake. Get up.

Glade is nowhere to be found. Rina's vision and hearing are starting to recover. Leon sees her walking towards them.

> Is Moth offering you a hand? Wing? Something?

The creature does not appear to be doing anything but observing Rina's every move.

Rina kneels beside Rasha. Leon is frantic.

"He's not waking up. His ankle is twisted too!" he says. Rina checks his pulse, and thankfully she feels one. She puts her cheek to his slightly open mouth and feels very small breaths.

Hey maybe Nysindra can help you, like she's always done before! OH WAIT

Yeah you're fucked.

Not sure what to do with someone who's been knocked out besides don't move them. Kind of hard to call the paramedics at this point though...

>>444648
I doubt he's had a spinal injury.

Roll him over onto one side. Make sure his twisted ankle is on the side that remains up, so you don't jostle it too much. Look him over to see if there are any other injuries.

Rina carefully rolls Rasha over to his side so his twisted ankle is on top. Rina inspects his body and there are no injuries. She sighs, feeling incredibly hopeless.

Rina tries slapping Rasha several times, but he does not flinch or stir.

"Damnit!" Rina shouts. In a blur, the creature appears in front of Rina. It hunches over and spreads its wings and stays in that position.

"The fuck is that thing doing?" Leon questions.

Does it...know where Light took Glade? Can it take her there?

"leon grab him under the arms" you grab under his legs and just take him inside.

Tell Leon to stay here and look after Rasha. If Moth wants to carry you off somewhere, then let's accept that help.

I am unsure what weapon to bring. Shotgun or pistol? If you think you can handle the shotgun's recoil it'd be more effective than the pistol. That assumes the shotgun still has a decent amount of ammo left, too.

Rina slowly rises, facing the creature. Leon stares, dumbfounded.

"Leon, I have to go," Rina states.

"Rina, no!" Leon grabs her arm. "You're just going to leave me here?"

"Yes, Leon. The thing knows where Glade went, and I trust it. I need you to stay here. Watch over Rasha. Can you do that for me?"

"But...Rina, will you come back? Please tell me you'll be okay!"

"Leon, I can promise nothing will stop me. Promise ME that YOU'LL be okay and that you'll take care of Rasha."

Leon hesitates for a moment, still looking incredibly worried, but nods his head. Rina can see tears forming in his eyes.

"Come back in one piece, sis," he says finally, tending to Rasha and carefully dragging him inside by wrapping his arms under Rasha's armpits.

Rina picks up the shotgun Rasha dropped. Luckily she is able to fit it into her backpack! Is there anything Rina should leave behind before she heads out? She feels a lot of weight on her and is not sure if the creature would favor this.

Well, the chemical's useless now, and that's not even our phone, is it? We can ditch those two things.

The ring might be useful if we ever need to cut some glass quietly, and it's not really heavy. Diamond, right? May as well keep it on hand for a bit longer.

The pistol is probably the only heavy object we're carrying that we'd want to leave behind... but I like having a holdout.

No items. Fox only. Final destination.

Flashlight for use against the Darkness, pistol for use against people (Harry, at least), knife for use against everything else. The rest of this stuff might be expendable.

Rina looks up at the creature and nods. "I'm ready," she says. She gets behind it and latches on to its textureless coat, which is soothingly soft and warm. It is strange to feel this sort of thing on a creature that is nothing but blackness.

Slowly, the creature rises with Rina latched tightly on its back. Below, Rina can see Leon rushing out of the building, looking up at them in awe. Rina sheepishly waves a goodbye, hoping it wouldn't be the last time she would see her brother. They take off.

The creature hardly flaps its wings as they soar across the air. It is silent aside from the gentle wind cutting across Rina's ears. They remain quiet for a while, but Rina tries to think if she has any questions before they'd arrive at wherever Glade is.

What can we do for Glade without the totem to cast spirits out of her?

"I have existed, both in your world and Hers. I remained hidden, observing you since you've unleashed the furious spirits and the Demonness. I could not be sure if you were truly a follower. Regardless, I am bound by rules. I am not a free spirit. I am not permitted to expose myself to any anthro being in your known physical world. But when said world collides with Hers, it is compromised. It is my duty to intervene."

> What can we do for Glade without the totem to cast spirits out of her?

"You speak of the Slab. Without it, we won't be able to eject the Demonness out of her body. She comes and goes as she pleases, and in her state, she cannot do much more. If she were more able, she could easily kill whoever she possesses. Like me, she cannot come near the Slab. You are the Vessel. You play a crucial part in Her rising."

> Should we be worried about Harry since he has the totem and the orb and uh... says he's going to fix everything, and is batshit insane?

"This anthro being, Harry, is going to do anything but 'fix' this. He was one with the village community. They assigned him to carry out the remaining steps of the ritual. He is completely brainwashed and is not going to back down. He is a cunning, deceitful individual, and we must apprehend him immediately."

"As long as a Vessel exists, the released spirits are attached to you and are dependent on you. They can go a distance, but they cannot move freely from the radius. For the demonness to rise and gain independence, she needs the orb and the Vessel present. Then somebody else experienced in the practices needs to be present to carry out the ritual."

> Is the Demoness that posessed me and Glade and the weird darkness that's been following us, blowing wind around and infecting others the same thing?

"The beings you refer to as the 'Darkness,' are separate from the Demonness. They are nothing but pawns that were used as part of the ritual, their souls eventually wrested from their physical bodies. They are about as ignorant as you are."

They arrive at the village. It is appropriately creepy as any abandoned village should be. But Rina gets a sickly feeling in her gut. There is something very wrong about this place, as if something horribly grotesque happened on these grounds.

Moth lands soundlessly and Rina dismounts. They are just outside of the village. Rina takes a few steps in, but the Moth remains as still as a statue, not moving an inch. Rina wonders what it is doing.

Just how big of a radius does this stupid slab thing have anyway? Although Rina will probably not encounter the Darkness anyway, she is still nervous to go on by herself. She has no idea where Harry could be.

Rina takes out her pistol and moves onward slowly. There's a bunch of different buildings. Which should she inspect?

Don't give up on Harry just yet. Remember you've known the Moth even less than you've known Harry, and the only person Harry committed violence against, you then shot in the head. So your goals might in fact coincide more than you think. Why would he act terrified of the cult if he just wanted to fulfill its ritual? Moth isn't telling you something.

>>448631
Uh, are you forgetting about the nurse? Harry killed her in cold blood.

Also don't forget the drastic behavior change he displayed. He was definitely acting innocent and helpless. He is a dangerous man, and we need to stop him, by any means necessary.

Harry killed the nurse? Yeah I uh... I did forget about her. Wasn't she doping him up or something?

Rina grips her pistol tightly, feeling sweat on her hands. She grasps the door handle and tries to open it, but it's locked.

Well...not locked. It opens just a little bit but then stops. Something is blocking it from opening outward it looks like.

> kick the door but jump back after that.

First, Rina tries opening the door the other direction. Nope. It won't budge at all.

OK, so you can't just waltz in. Try smashing the window with the butt of the gun, then walking around to find a back exit. If there is someone in there, with luck they'll open the door, try to make a break for it, or at least make some noise to let you know you're on the right track.

There a car nearby?
We should try ramming through the walls/doors.
If there are no other ways in, subtlety and surprise is out the window unless we go for something absurd.
If you don't know how to hotwire a vehicle if you can't find a key for it, ask Mothman, he looks like he grew up on some pretty rough streets. Oh, if the car or truck in question doesn't have cruise mode enabled for you to jump out at the last minute in, get a brick and set that shit up in neutral, then get out really fucking quick after you line up the run and put it into drive.

Hopefully the goddam,n thing is an auomatic. IF this takes a while to set up, strike up casual conversation with the horrific otherworldy thing, maybe ask if there's a Mrs. Mothman.

Rina smashes the window with her pistol. It shatters quite loudly. Rina looks around in case the noise is loud enough to alert anyone to her. Luckily, no one comes. Rina gazes inside the church through the broken window. It is very dark. Rina can hardly see anything. She looks down and notices that a plank of wood is wedged in the door handles.

Its jaws are open wide, lined with monstrous teeth. It is engulfed by fire. There are hanging figures above it. Whatever reason people actually wanted to worship this hideous thing is beyond Rina's understanding.

He picks up the stained book. Rina gets a closer look at his face. He is a canid, but not sure if he's a wolf or a dog. He also looks familiar somehow.

Maybe under possession, Nysindra made Glade get a haircut and dress as a boy? If not, then...
This isn't Harry right?
Is he from the geocaching trip? Another survivor?

I take it he's no friend of the Demoness.

First, tell him to freeze. Then we talk, explain why we're here, ask him who he is, etc.

> First, tell him to freeze. Then we talk, explain why we're here, ask him who he is, etc.

Rina breathes in deep and then emerges from hiding, pointing her pistol at the anthro's back.

"Freeze," she says firmly, but not very loudly. The canid slowly raises his arms, showing his weapon and that he's taken his finger off the trigger.

"Easy, girl," he says. His voice has a familiar smoothness to it. He doesn't seem phased. Very stoic. Upon closer inspection, it looks like he's wearing a police uniform.

"Listen, I'm here to stop an evil that plans to screw the world over, and I'm not going to be stopped. Who are you?"

"Just a lone police officer. No backup, no means of communication. I didn't think I'd find anyone else. Anyone else normal that is. I saw you outside. I think I've seen your face before."

Say that you think he's familiar too. Ask why he was looking at that book.

Apologize to the police officer, you've had to be on your guard for the possessed and cultists for a while now. IS this the police guard that handed you in? Or was that the one that was injured by the chief earlier? Admit you're kinda hoping in this case it isn't a crime to point a gun at a potential police officer. Don't drop your guard on him just yet, and get your back to a wall, can't have some backup get the better of you... Janice's husband was a police officer, right? And the only person who said he was dead was Harry, correct? Rina, can you get a mental tally on how many police officers you've personally seen lately? They all start to blend together after all this time and chaos.

Ask if the injured one back at the police station manage to explain the truth to anybody, like the maddened police chief and stuff. Or if he's asleep in the hospital. Then ask how he found this place, and if he knows much, if anything, about this weird as hell business that's been plaguing you for the past few days. Don't try to weird him out with too many revelations.

"You look familiar, too," Rina says. "Why were you looking at that book?"

"Ah, well, there was some weird liquid stuff on it, so I just decided to take a look. I've never actually been to a weird place like this. Thought I'd just satisfy my curiosity."

"That's why you came?"

"No. I was following your tracks for quite a while. Your friend's gotten himself into some deep shit, do you know that? He's stolen from the armory, and the force knows about it. Don't worry though, I've been trying to tell them your side of things and what is going on...like with the Chief, but ever since he disappeared, everyone has been in disarray. It was a real mess.

I was taken to the hospital shortly after you guys left, but while I was in there, it wasn't long before things got crazy again. Everyone was gone, and I had to fend for myself. I followed your guys' tracks according to radio feeds."

Rina bows her head and leans her back against the pillar.

"Huh. So you are that guy then," Rina states.

"Like I said before, I've been trying to tell them something really odd is happening, and that you guys were trying to do something about it, but no one would listen. I'm actually one of the only ones who had the responsibility to watch over that Harry guy, the one from the sanitarium. I learned a bit about him, what he's done. It all seems to tie together with what's going on. Did you guys make any progress?"

"Well, Harry's just a cold-blooded bastard who wants to raise his demonness. My friend was just recently taken by said demonness...and I followed them here to this village. It's where it all started." Rina proceeds to tell the officer about the incident, Mr. Farrow, the geocaching trip, everything.

The canid sighs. "I don't know how I'm going to manage to make my peers believe this shit...then again they haven't really seen the things I have."

"When your building got wrecked, did anyone die? Do you know?" Rina asks.

"Someone got crushed by debris, yes. Didn't know the guy much, but I knew he was going to ask a nurse in the nearby hospital to marry him. They've been going out for a pretty long time. Makes my stomach twist just thinking about that. Poor guy."

Rina rubs her forehead, feeling saddened at this.

"Listen, I'm sorry for doing this. I've just had to be on my guard from all these crazy people, cultists...it's just been really crazy," she says.

"Understandable," he responds. "But maybe we can work together? Find out what's going on?"

"Sounds good, but forgive me if I don't trust you."

>>452407

"Alright...but forgive me if I don't trust you," Rina says.

"I think the feeling is mutual. I don't know who to trust anymore. Things seem to be getting more screwed up by the second," he says, slowly lowering his weapon.

"Don't try anything," Rina snaps.

"Calm down." The canid sheaths his pistol into a pouch strapped onto his right side. "There." He turns around. Rina lowers her pistol as well.

"Wait, how did you track me to this village?" she asks.

"I didn't," he simply responds, "I followed you guys to the sanitarium, but while I was, that's when something really messed up happened. I saw him again. The chief. He was horribly mangled. A second later he walked down a trail nearby. I don't know why I did it, but I followed him down the trail, and before I knew it, something was behind me...something was chasing me. I drove down the trail fast, scared for my life. I don't understand why I felt that way. There was some kind of really weird AURA all around me. I eventually ended up here and had to hole up and defend myself. When the aura seemed to disappear, I was really hesitant to just leave. I knew it was still around, watching my every move. I waited for what seemed like hours. That's when I saw the crazy guy from the hospital enter the village. He went into this church but never came out."

"So he did come in here!" Rina exclaims.

"Yeah. I'm not going to lie, I was still pretty scared to do anything, but then I saw you come in. By that moment I was too curious to just sit around anymore," he sighs. "Well then I guess the psycho is our main problem here? He could still be in here...somewhere. We need to stay alert."

Alright, let's check the back room. Those are doors in the back, right? Or maybe we should open the other books first.

OK real quick summary, there's this spider demon that can reanimate dead bodies. They get mangled after that because she uses them to try to make more dead bodies and people fight back. Chief's long dead, just not mangled enough that she can't move his corpse around. Crazy cult here is trying to finish summoning the demon so she can do worse than just walk corpses around and make black goo; luckily they're all dead except Harry maybe. He's got this magic slab thing though that keeps the demon away, which doesn't make sense if he's trying to complete the ritual.

So my plan is to destroy the slab so that she can come near and then Harry can use me as a sacrifice with his magic orb to complete the ritual, to destroy the entire world and send us all into her nightmare world, just because a random demon appeared who said doing so would fix everything and I just sort of implicitly trust anyone who talks to me.

"Alright. Wherever he is, he has that Slab. Doesn't make sense that he still holds on to it since he needs to complete his ritual," Rina says.

"You mentioned something about a Moth thing?" the canid asks.

"Yeah. He's warded off by the Slab too. He said I need to destroy it, and then he'd help stop this...somehow," Rina replies. The canid looks unsure.

"If I were you I wouldn't really trust anything...but at least it's a lead right? Better than just doing nothing. You can call me Miles by the way."

"Okay, Miles. I'm Rina," she introduces herself. "You're probably right about the Moth, but...I don't know. I get this feeling that I can believe what he says. He kinda helped me a couple of times."

> Alright, let's check the back room.

Rina eyes the doors in the back.

"I'm going to check out what's in those rooms," she says. Miles nods.

"Sure thing. I'm going to stand around here...make sure nothing sneaks up on us."

With that, Rina goes into the room to her left. There's a bunch of stuff to see around here.

Rina has already opened the wall panel.

> Alright, awesome. What's all the stuff on the little desk? And what's in the drawer?

Nothing is inside the desk drawer.

Rina discovers the smaller rectangular box is the one Glade has been carrying around. She has always been a little defensive of it. Why is she...or "She" leaving her stuff around, out in the open. Is the Demonness taunting her?

Rina then inspects the larger wooden box next to it, which looks to be some kind of REALLY old-style projector. The top of the box is cut diagonally and a picture frame is set in the hole at an angle. On the back of the box, facing Rina, is a fairly large hole, a small, shallow metal bowl sitting on the box's base.

Rina sees a bit of wax on the bowl.

"Miles, are you okay?" Rina asks. He looks up at her, trying hard to keep his eyes open. He blinks several times.

"Heh, well," he starts, "you see, I haven't had much to drink or eat in a while. I'm just losing a little energy here. I'll be good though."

Rina realizes she's pretty thirsty herself. Her mouth feels a bit dry.

Uh oh. I bet there's a thing happening.

"There's some left, but I'm thirsty too so could you - "

"Oh my God. Rina, I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking..."

Couldn't be helped.

Bluh. Check the other door, maybe someone left some bottled water lying around or something.

>>456668
He doesn't need to be sorry, it's just a stupid fucking drink. Maybe there's a working fridge in this village somewhere. Just don't charge her for stealing if that house with the working fridge in the village doesn't happen to be abandoned and have owners. And if we don't, and we're getting out of this alive and not arrested, he's buying you and your friends a steak dinner and lots of beer to go with it.

Rina waves her hand and says, "Don't worry about it. I'll just keep looking around." Miles looks away, keeping a rueful expression on his face.

Rina goes into the other door. It's another small room. It smells strongly of scented candles. Sure enough there are some sitting on the nearby drawer. There's also a box, a lamp, and a water cooler...but it looks pretty empty unfortunately.

There could still be some water in the lower tank that the bottle feeds into. Try it.

Also check in the box.

Yes. Check the water cooler anyway, no need for a cup just try dispensing into your mouth. Then open box.

Rina tests the faucet. Indeed there is still some water left. Is it water? Rina lets out a bit of the liquid onto her fingers and smells it. She then licks it. Doesn't taste strange. Must be water. She drinks some of it and she can already feel some energy returning to her.

Rina checks the box on the top of the drawer. There's more candles inside of it and a small box half-full of crackers.

> What's that on the wall?

Rina gazes at the object on the wall. It appears to be a circular stone tablet with a hole in the center, held up by a small wooden pole. The design is strange. It is split into three parts with slightly similar upside-down "U" symbols on each half. Rina feels the object is of some importance.

>>458274
Those symbols look a little similar to the semicircles in the projector's image. Take the thing off the wall to check if anything's behind it, then put it back. It looks like two other slabs like it go on the rack...

Also, eat a few crackers, then check in the draw- wait a minute, go back to the main room. An arrow showed up on the painting. What's with that? Take a closer look at the symbol below the painting, too.

Rina goes back into the main chamber and indeed there is an arrow on the painting. It doesn't look freshly drawn on there either. Something's getting to Rina's head. She inspects the symbol and it appears to be the same she's been seeing everywhere. There's nothing behind the paper either...

Rina pushes the button. No bacon...but a "click" sound does come from behind her. It seems to have come from the plaque/stand.

Are there any slots in the stand, into which one could put something?

The actual plaque seems to be a bit loose, but something is still attaching it to the stand.

There appears to be a keyhole on the side.

Examine keyhole. What kind of a key does it take? Can you jimmy it?

Try the key you got off the shelf earlier. If that doesn't work, you might be able to brute-force it, especially if Miles is feeling well enough to help.

Be careful, just in case it's booby-trapped. I wouldn't put that past these people.

Ahh. Place the disc. Rotate the upper-left one clockwise once. Rotate the upper-right one clockwise once as well. Then rotate the disc you placed counterclockwise once.

The symbols on each disc combine to make that big symbol we saw from the projection. It's an imperfect match though, the upper-left one doesn't have all the bars present. I'm assuming that's an art error.

But we SHOT him. He's DEAD. Goddamn it, I thought the demon had to possess people right when they died. Apparently it can just take any old corpse. This SUCKS. We can kneecap him though... Just slowing down the husks seems to be our only option if they're in the way. He's not. Let's just go.

Rina tries pulling the stand, but it's extremely heavy! She can only move it an inch before she needs to take a breather. She yells to Miles, "You can't kill it! Just shoot the kneecaps! Disable it or something!"

Miles takes a shot, but doesn't quite hit the mark. The husk lunges forward and grapples with Miles, its long needle-like fingers digging into Miles.

"Rina!" he screams.

They can be killed. Mostly by reducing the head to a fine paste. It probably has something to do with that engraving that appears on their foreheads; probably necessary to sustain the corpse.

Rina dashes over to Miles and quickly takes out her switchblade. She manages to slash one of its heels with the knife. The husk screeches and stumbles. It whirls at Rina and swipes at her, catching her on the muzzle and knocking her flat on the ground.

Miles angrily snarls at the husk and empties his entire clip into it. The husk staggers, but overall it doesn't appear to have been affected at all.

Rina suddenly remembers something. Her conversation with the Moth.

"They are nothing but pawns that were used as part of the ritual, their souls eventually wrested from their physical bodies. They are about as ignorant as you are."

gun gun gun

Ah hah. Pawns can only attack diagonally. EN PASSANT THAT MOFO

But perhaps the clue is that if the husk was created by the ritual, it can be insurrected somehow?

>>461158
These things are possessed corpses, taken over by the souls of those sacrificed in the ritual?

Eh. We could always say that he's been lied to. What did the first one say to us? That we needed to die for them to be free? That's obviously not true, of course. We could tell this husk that the only way he'll be free is if we stop the demon.

"Hey! Asshole!" Rina shouts. She successfully grabs the husk's attention, but it just stares at her with its empty eye sockets. Rina is slightly taken aback, not expecting this, but she carries on. "You think I should die for you to be free? You're being lied to! The only way you guys will be free is if we stop the demon!"

Rina is further surprised by the fact that the husk seems to be actually listening to her, but it isn't doing anything. The building is starting to crumble slowly. Rina thinks if there's anything more she needs to say.

"Yeah! Do you fucking know anything? You all are so focused on ending me, but do you know who's really keeping this fucked up shit running? Are you even familiar with this PLACE? What about Nysindra? Does that ring any bells?!" Rina knows she is having an effect on the husk.

"What do you know about all this?" A hoarse, female voice comes from the husk. "You have been absorbing my brethren. You are a part of all this and you must pay."

"not me, i was simply a host to the being that was absorbing them, it lied to me, said it would help me end all this"

Tell him you were lied to as well. She said she was going to help you and explain what was going on but all she ended up doing was absorb these guys and possess your friend after she was cast out by the seal. You can't absorb at all, and hell, you had no idea that's what she was doing anyway.

You aren't responsible for this. The person who's body he's possessing was responsible for causing this mess, and he's already paid for it with his life. Tell this guy about what the late doctor did, and why.

"I was lied to as well. Nysindra, that demon, said she would help me and explain what was going on. She was the one was absorbed your friends because she used me to act as her host. She now has my friend after she was cast out of me. At the time I had no idea what she was doing anyway."

The husk listens patiently. Time seems to slow somehow.

"I'm not responsible for this," Rina continues, "but the guy whose dead body you're possessing was responsible for this shit. All of it." Rina explains to the husk how Rina wound up finding the box in a geocaching trip and Mr. Farrow's real intentions on holding the trip. Rina explains his avarice in the matter and his ignoring of the consequences of the whole ordeal.

"I remember this Mr. Farrow you speak of," the female anthro says. "He helped all of this take place. He offered unto us the orb. It became the very key to proceeding with the dark ritual, the ritual a lot of us never wanted to take part in. Oh, those were cold, dark days. You explain this to me instead of fighting me, but I don't understand - I don't feel the need to trust you. Not one bit. Not after you helped hurt my brothers. But to me you've always appeared like a scared, young girl who was doing what she could to survive and figure things out. This is why I listened to you."

Rina is baffled. She feels she could maybe ask the female some questions.

"i just want to get this over with, what do i need to do to stop this? all of it."

Hmm, so like, the only reason they didn't possess your friends was because they knew for sure they were just people trying to survive? Or what? I was never clear on why our friends were never possessed and turned into husks.

Ask if she knows much about the moth in their myths, not that they have an accurate perception of their goddess at all so it may be bunk, but whatever.
And about Harry. At least what she thinks of him and concerns. If we can make him stutter or stop due to shouting out about someone he cares about, maybe he'll resist his cult brainwashing?

>>463546
Ask her if Black Cloak can be trusted to end this ordeal in a favorable manner.

"Look, I just want this over with. What do I need to do to stop all this?" Rina asks.

"You've just brought light of this 'demon' you speak of. It's probably the one those cultist freaks worshipped, and either way we wanted to stay clear and far away from it. We even considered leaving the village altogether, but this was our home...where we were born and raised. They began to build a church, and that didn't go well with us."

> Hmm, so like, the only reason they didn't possess your friends was because they knew for sure they were just people trying to survive? Or what? I was never clear on why our friends were never possessed and turned into husks.

One is more than able to fend off the spirits. Rina has been doing it for a while now.

"Can I trust Black Cloak to end this in a good way?" Rina asks.

"Black Cloak has always been known as a wanderer of the earth, suppressing purgatorial spirits and demons. We started looking into him, studying him. He became our own little 'god' in a sense. We knew if the cultists were allowed to proceed with their practices, they could conjure up something awful. And verily...something terrible awakened. We seeked him out for help and we learned to make the Slab. Unfortunately, that's when the cultists became too powerful and took over the entire village. They stole our Slab and then..." she stops there, looking really uncomfortable.

"What do you know and think about Harry?" Rina questions.

"Harry was neutral at first. He was a broken man with mental issues. We were concerned about it. We thought the cultists would use him and brainwash him to carry out their 'errands', and he has done so. We didn't pay much attention to him at first, but it's apparent we should have. He is more capable than we thought. He is hell-bent on finishing the cultists' work it looks like. I learned of this just recently. Other than that I don't know anything about him or his past," the female explains.

>>464483
Does she know who would more about him?
Harry's a bit too smart to take on with mere numbers and guns, and we need to get the slab from him in tact first to save Glade. We need a mental edge.
Does she at least know where he was kept and brainwashed? There may be more clues there.

>>464483
Alright. This seems straightforward enough, then. Tell her that Black Cloak transported you here in order to get the Slab back from Harry and destroy it so that Black Cloak could swoop in and finish things. Ask for help moving the altar you just unlocked, but warn her that she might want to stay up here to avoid being absorbed.

"Do you know who would know more about him?" Rina asks. The female sighs impatiently.

"No," she simply says. "My standing here before you indicates either two things: Harry has left the village, or he has destroyed the Slab. I'll let you go. But you must hurry."

Time seems to be restored to normal when Moth suddenly breaks into the scene and pins the female down. She hisses and screeches, writhing violently.

"Rina!" Miles shouts. He's standing at the plaque. Rina remembers that the church is gradually breaking down. She doesn't exactly want to be crushed to death.

Moth easy that's one of your followers! Supporters.
Something. Anti-Spider god at least.

Might not be Moth, remember our demon likes to shapeshift. Save the Husk!

>>465099
Eh? I thought the slab was used to draw out spirits, not ward them away, aside from Moth.

Tell Moth that this one isn't an enemy anymore, then quickly ask if the slab's destroyed or Harry is just gone. Then get that slab off with the cop's help and go down.
