my life took a turn

What: Part 2 of Vivi's player plot.
Who: Anyone who signed up here or has a reason/interest to go.
Where: A mist-shrouded village in the Outlands.
When: Late March.
Warnings: Shouldn't be anything? But i'll edit as they come up. I'll match your format!



A. Setting Off/En Route
The mysterious figure who visited the Academy a few weeks prior has come to take Vivi to a place where he will gain answers about his past. Looking a bit more battered than they did previously (though it's hard to tell, given their already bedraggled state), they're a little more open to the idea of company than they were before.

"A long journey," they instruct. "Make ready first. Before you go."

As Vivi's mysterious kindred promises, the journey is rather long - and secretive. It winds through lonely hills, alien valleys and shimmering rivers, where little to no civilisation of any kind seems to exist - but, at least, there's no real danger.

There's plenty of time to talk (and rest) on the journey. If all goes well, it will take most of a day before arrival.

B. Village in Mist
Their final destination is in a tucked-away valley, its hills blooming with flowers. The faint warks of strange Outlands birds echo through the fog. For those who walked in Vivi's dreams some months ago, the village that greets them - full of huts and mounds, and with pointy-hatted, cloak-wearing people who look uncannily like Vivi himself, but taller and larger - will be eerily familiar.

They're friendly enough, if cautious of outsiders. Vivi wanders among them like he's in a dream, not sure whether to be confused, hesitant, or delighted.

C. Ruined Factory
A dilapidated, broken factory, still wheezing Mist futilely in its attempts at processing, crouches on the landscape like a half-cracked egg. Machinery and metal scaffolding pokes out of its fire-blasted, broken walls.

It's a lonely, desolate place. But there could be answers, if you're willing to get your hands dirty; it appears a conflict of some kind took place here, and the place has collapsed in on itself from a combination of neglect and damage.

Or you could just be following Vivi, who has made a beeline for the factory regardless.

"No answers for where you come from?" He ventured, before sitting down, his eyes flicker to the side, studying Vivi's hooded face. "But I'm glad to know they're happy to see you're okay," and it did seem like they are welcoming, but the lost tone in Vivi's voice made his still heart ache.

Gingerly, he reaches an arm out, pulling him into a small embrace.

Factory... well that certainly does not bode well, he thought to himself, as he held Vivi close, what he remembered earlier in the month was a blur... but it's enough to confirm he does not want to see him hurt.

"Instant connections are extremely rare, and memory is... a nebulous thing, you might remember more if you do look in the factory," there was a quiet pause. "Or perhaps not - it is difficult to say."

"Then we'll go with you - you don't have to go alone if you don't want to." His fingers curled up, closing his eyes. "Your instincts are telling you to be cautious - it's not bad to take heed when you are acting."
