➪ His steps came to a slow crawl. Bracing the two close in a protective barrier between whatever cried above them. It took a few moments but eventually his light shined upwards. Onto to take sight on the holes. He stepped onto the stairs.

“𝙳𝚒𝚍𝚗𝚝.. 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚑𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚜𝚊𝚢 𝚝𝚘 𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚍 𝚞𝚙𝚠𝚊𝚛𝚍𝚜?"
+
Something thrummed below, yet Mei looked up and suddenly hugged Hanagata's leg.

"Mama...what is that?"

"Look down, love." Hanagata whispered, keeping her gaze on the road as something above them—all of them—hissed and climbed down from holes on the ceiling.
October 29, 2025 at 11:29 PM
➪ His head shook with a silent disgust. Not for her but the cursed item. The pain it brought and all. He continued guiding them. The cave, non-linear, made it odd. Made it feel like no tangible progress was being made.

➪ They in their eyes would turn down a street, then another.
+
Hanagata gave back its medallion as the hairs relaxed and moved away.

It stopped being shaky and twitchy, now more stable as it pointed the right way this time.

Hanagata smiled and petted it, "There, we go to the city then. We shall see the rest of hell."

And Mei quivered in fear, silent.
October 26, 2025 at 11:42 AM
➪ He only softly chuckled under the haze of darkness. Standing and grabbing at the flashlight. Tapping it a few times and unknowingly igniting it. The torch somehow powerless against the new technology’s ability.

“𝙸𝚖𝚙𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚜𝚒𝚟𝚎."

➪ He watched the retrieval of a hand. An oddity itself.
+
Mei actually gasped and tensed at the sight of it as it began to twitch and move, a finger pointing upwards.

"...we follow this."

But what is it?

Hanagata smiled, "I don't know what it is but long ago, someone gave this to me. I'm not sure who either but it is a compass of sorts, I suppose."
October 26, 2025 at 7:34 AM
➪ Mei. He took an internal note.

➪ He approached much to her dismay and fear. The child clutching at her skirt once more. His jacket dangled with small ornamental ropes. Tone shifting up a few octaves to come off more friendly.

“𝙼𝚢 𝚗𝚊𝚖𝚎 𝚒𝚜 𝙲𝚊𝚙𝚒𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚘. 𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚌𝚊𝚗 𝚓𝚞𝚜𝚝 𝚌𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚖𝚎 𝙲𝚊𝚙𝚒. 𝙸𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝𝚜 𝚎𝚊𝚜𝚒𝚎𝚛.."
+
Each one the same and seemed to stretch one. The floor seemed to be slick with a strange substance, neither water nor blood. The wall just really seemed rocky but looking at it closer, it looked like graying flesh.

...it felt like they were inside a live giant.
October 17, 2025 at 12:23 PM
➪ He could see the child now? His hand would outstretch for a mere second, only to let it drop at his side once more.

➪ It’s just another part of the madness behind this world. Every step into this world is going to be hostile and even she’s quickly becoming a part of it.
+
...

"Mei..." She beamed, continuing to pet her daughter's head, "Be a good girl and close your eyes, okay?"

Something evil is brewing.

"But why, mom?" The girl frowned even more, brows furrowed as her face morphed into fear. She let go of her mother's skirt, "Why? You're scaring me."
October 17, 2025 at 10:15 AM
➪ He stared into the cave. Unclear of what could be on the other end of the door, as well as needing to hold onto her? It caused him to sigh quietly to himself.

➪ This world is different. One he will never come to understand. Though, acting as a guide, at least he can do something.
+
Flashlight, batteries, a few candles and boxes of matches...

She had been preparing for this for the longest time and she was carefully packing them in a white sling bag, embroidered with lavenders, as if they're off to a picnic.

"I do not eat. Do you?" She asked, turning to Capitano with a smile.
October 11, 2025 at 12:36 PM
➪ A singular nod. Runes. Only for that of her people. Although he may be able to collect them.. They will not carry any value. He’ll collect them on her behalf. If they help with their travels then he'll assist.

“𝙲𝚊𝚗 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚌𝚊𝚛𝚛𝚢 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛𝚜𝚎𝚕𝚏 𝚗𝚘𝚠?"

➪ On standby should she need a shoulder once more.
+
ㅤㅤ“Runes can be used to strengthen oneself, if one has a maiden to help them. Alas, they usually only serve the Tarnished.”

ㅤㅤ•° the knight pocketed the runes, adding to her total. Three bags now.

ㅤㅤ“Every living being drop runes. We'll just have to hunt them down.”
October 9, 2025 at 4:02 AM
➪ The lights flickered, the once comforting room was now turned into a room made of pure anguish and disgust. This is what he'd originally felt when he entered, the floor pulsing beneath it's feet as if it were alive.

➪ Having remained in the same place for so long. His feet had sunk and-
+
"Only things and beings outside of this room can pull me out. However, doing that..." She wiped her hands clean and brushed down her long, white hair, redoing her braid, "...the Bedlam will not be happy if you take away her favorite toy."

But what is the Bedlam? Where is this? Is this hell?
October 9, 2025 at 3:50 AM
➪ The captains mental prowess is being challenged, and he not a fan. Hes only moments away from taking out the supposed threat that he deems her as at this point.

“𝚈𝚘𝚞𝚛𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚌𝚊𝚞𝚜𝚎 𝚘𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜. 𝙸 𝚌𝚊𝚗𝚝 𝚝𝚎𝚕𝚕 𝚒𝚏 𝚒𝚝𝚜 𝚊𝚗 𝚊𝚏𝚏𝚕𝚒𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗 𝚘𝚛 𝚒𝚏 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛𝚜𝚎𝚕𝚏 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚌𝚊𝚞𝚜𝚎."

➪ The flicker of a precious home.
+
She was standing before him now, glancing at the door, "What's wrong? You're so quiet, you're making me nervous, sir."

She chuckled, moving closer to the door but she didn't touch it or open it.

All the lady did was stare before looking at the shoe racket by the door, "...she left her shoes."
September 25, 2025 at 2:07 AM
➪ His featureless mask only stared in her direction. Her answer was not as he'd expected, then again, what did he expect?

“𝚈𝚘𝚞𝚟𝚎 𝚋𝚎𝚎𝚗 𝚕𝚘𝚜𝚝 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚚𝚞𝚒𝚝𝚎 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎 𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚗."

➪ Aware that one can not argue with madness. He only hopes to try and quell it. Hand lifting up and pointing at the door.
+
She didn't seem to have aged past her early thirties, giggling with such a youthful and beautiful face as she continued to eat her food.

Crunch.

She paused and pulled away, checking the egg and pulling out some leftover eggshells.

"Oh dear, clumsy me. I hope your share doesn't have shells in it."
September 22, 2025 at 7:51 PM
➪ His words passed her by seemingly unaffected. He stared silently from across the table. Finger clenching and balling into fists at the sense of unease.

"𝙼𝚢 𝚗𝚊𝚖𝚎? 𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚖𝚊𝚢 𝚌𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚖𝚎 𝙲𝚊𝚙𝚒𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚘 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎 𝚋𝚎𝚒𝚗𝚐."

➪ The air itself was filled with uncertainties, questions he could not get.
+
It was like talking to a different person. More aware, sweeter to the ear, and the way she looked at him... There was an unsettling...infatuation? Admiration? It's certainly no kindness but she seemed...welcoming. Encouraging. Cunning.

"Go on, please, you seem troubled. Perhaps I can help you?"
September 22, 2025 at 8:25 AM
➪ For as long as he’d been trapped there, his afflictions showed no sign of stopping. The need to eat nowhere to be found.

➪ The captain remained heavy on his feet, watching the mistress go about a faulty day. Once her ghosts had left her, he approached the doorside. Once more nothing but a void.
+
"And you too, love. Have a good day at work too."

With that, she turned and headed for the door, obviously off to see no one go...

...

What is happening? Something is wrong. This woman is strange...

And she's just standing there, staring at the door, as if everything behind her is now forgotten.

㋛ Closed starter for @bedlams-favorite.bsky.social

[𝕌𝕟𝕗𝕠𝕣𝕖𝕥𝕠𝕝𝕕 𝕃𝕚𝕞𝕓𝕦𝕤]

➪ Silence followed for the longest point of silence. How long has it been? How long since he broke the heavenly principles and granted himself the eternal void considered a sweet slumber to those eyes in natlan.

"..𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚍𝚘𝚗𝚝 𝚗𝚎𝚎𝚍 𝚝𝚘 𝚙𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚜 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛𝚜𝚎𝚕𝚏 𝚜𝚘 𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚟𝚒𝚕𝚢."

➪ He marched forward to her side and assisted.

“𝙰𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚙𝚘𝚒𝚗𝚝 𝚠𝚎 𝚖𝚞𝚜𝚝 𝚠𝚊𝚝𝚌𝚑 𝚘𝚞𝚝 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚊𝚗𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛. 𝚆𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚒𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚝𝚘𝚐𝚎𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛."

➪ Whether she wanted it or not, she had a crutch in this time. Just as long as she needed to recover.
+
ㅤㅤ“The usual merchant that sells me these is further in. His name is Kalé.“

ㅤㅤ•° opening her pouch, she checked for the amount of runes. Barely enough for two bags. Good enough.
ㅤㅤ
September 20, 2025 at 3:09 PM
➪ He remained stationary for a long while. Watching her hand move for the moment it did only to see it freeze and ease away. It was swept away with a breath on his end as well.

➪ Turn of the head to stare at the burning ruminants of his past.

“..𝚂𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚘𝚜𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚌𝚊𝚗. 𝚂𝚞𝚙𝚙𝚘𝚛𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚘𝚜𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚌𝚊𝚗 𝚗𝚘𝚝."
+
ㅤㅤ“My deepest gratitude to you, captain ... ”

ㅤㅤ•° she instead said, slightly bowing down to him.
ㅤㅤ
September 18, 2025 at 1:13 AM
➪ He will not lose her.

➪ Even if she can not answer he will improvise and quickly. A captain is meant to prepare for all oddities on the field. It’s why he was adored in his own world. Why so many looked to him to lead, and so he shall do once more.
+
ㅤㅤ•° desperation to survive in tow, she stared into the abyss in front of her, and nodded, unable to even form a word from how painful everything was. Her limbs were seized, her shoulders stiff and fingers frozen.
ㅤㅤ
September 16, 2025 at 8:44 AM
➪ Though darkness encompassed his features, she could see the helmet move. The scan of her body at the request.

“𝙸 𝚌𝚊𝚗 𝚗𝚘𝚝."

➪ He had no understanding of the pain being caused to her in this very moment. The very lack of understanding burning him to the core with unease.
+
ㅤㅤ•° she looked away again to cough, too weak to even lift her hand but not wanting to even risk the captain catching the same disease that brought her to her knees.

ㅤㅤ“Please ... ”

ㅤㅤ•° she does not beg often. But in this moment, where the rot advances, she couldn't help but to beg.
ㅤㅤ
September 12, 2025 at 4:10 PM
➪ His approach was slow, not that his concern was minimal but that he wanted to make sure no other enemy would leap out once he focused his sole attention on her.

➪ They can collect items in a moment. His shadow casted over her to then kneel at her side.

“𝚆𝚎𝚕𝚕 𝚍𝚘𝚗𝚎."
+
ㅤㅤ•° moments later, spears made by holy light emerged from the ground, stabbing the creature multiple times before disappearing and letting its bloodied and battered body fall on the ground.

ㅤㅤ•° it wasn't a clean victory, as the knight collapsed on her knees with a string of coughs.
ㅤㅤ
September 11, 2025 at 12:45 AM
➪ Gaunleted hand reaches out, grasping the spear and sending the same icy wave along and up the spear. The beasts arm frozen to the joint.

➪ With a skid of heels, he worked under the frozen arm and swiped with his sword. More crimson essence spilling from the lethal wound.
+
ㅤㅤ•° the arrow stuck to it's chest, and she used it to keep the thing away from her with one hand, while the other stopped the spear from being swung around.

ㅤㅤ“Captain, catch.ᐟ”

ㅤㅤ•° she shouted, successfully pushing it off her and towards him.
ㅤㅤ
September 8, 2025 at 5:15 PM
➪ The captain is already making headway towards her, seeing as she’s caught off guard his reaction sends the air into a cold chill. Dark ethereal orbs spawn around him in plethora. Icicles forming into needle ice figura.

➪ They launch at the beast hovering over her mere seconds away from-
+
ㅤㅤ•° her attention snapped back to the gigantic centipede in front of her, slicing the arms holding the spear, but she wasn't quick enough to dodge when it tackled her to the ground and its many hands found her neck.

ㅤㅤ“Get off.ᐟ”
ㅤㅤ
September 7, 2025 at 9:05 AM
➪ The skittering felt like a part of the ground itself as if even the ground below their feet moved with some life of its own. The spear flying by instantly set the world around them into a spine shivering cold.

➪ A burst of wind carried by his hand, summoning an ice blade.
+
ㅤㅤ“Captain, careful.ᐟ”

ㅤㅤ•° a half-decaying dog appeared next, striking at Capitano while she struck the child of rot with her sword. A clash that was little more than an annoyance for the knight, but still dangerous enough, especially since one of them isn't already rotted to half death.
ㅤㅤ
September 6, 2025 at 11:54 AM
➪ The statement caught him by surprise. A gentle chill surrounding the air between them. Preparations in play for not if, but when the time comes.

“𝙽𝚘 𝚖𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚏𝚘𝚎, 𝚠𝚎𝚕𝚕 𝚜𝚎𝚎 𝚝𝚘𝚗𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝𝚜 𝚎𝚗𝚍 𝚘𝚗𝚌𝚎 𝚖𝚘𝚛𝚎."

➪ The captain joined at her side. The crunch of footsteps the only sound available from them.
+
ㅤㅤ•° the knight from one end of the rotten lake to the other side, before turning right and towards a road.

ㅤㅤ“Be warned. Children of rot walk this road. If you see any human-sized centipedes with spears, don't hesitate to attack.”
ㅤㅤ
August 6, 2025 at 10:43 PM
➪ No real value to them? Runes? More questions added to his list. The bread has practically crumbled in his palm. This is fine, it’s not needed for him to eat as much as he should.

➪ The crumbs dribble away and he grabs firmly at her wrist. The two supporting one another and allowing him to rise.
+
ㅤㅤ•° once she finished her flatbread, she placed the plate back to the hidden corner of the cave, and offered a hand to the captain.

ㅤㅤ“Stand up. We'll go now, before the sun rises too high and a tarnished finds my merchant.”
ㅤㅤ
August 1, 2025 at 12:30 AM
“𝙴𝚟𝚎𝚗 𝚝𝚋𝚎 𝚊𝚋𝚢𝚜𝚜 𝚍𝚘𝚎𝚜𝚗𝚝 𝚜𝚎𝚗𝚍 𝚘𝚞𝚝 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚜𝚘 𝚍𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚍𝚏𝚞𝚕."

➪ Though that isn’t entirely true. The world and its hostilities remain unknown. One way or another, prepared or not. They’ll need to brace themselves.

➪ Another gentle bite is given.

“𝙰 𝚗𝚎𝚎𝚍 𝚘𝚏 𝚖𝚘𝚛𝚎 𝚜𝚞𝚙𝚙𝚕𝚒𝚎𝚜?"
+
ㅤㅤ•° perhaps she should take some cheese from the Redmane Castle from south of the area.

ㅤㅤ“We're running out of flour and clean water, so we'll go to Limgrave to buy some, if you don't mind. It's to the west of here, and it's significantly safer. Greener, too.”
ㅤㅤ
