For Thine Is; The City

[animusmods]

Characters: any characters who were warped outside
Setting: outside
Format: any
Summary: The outcast residents arrive in the city that surrounds the Tower.
Warnings: psychological horror

The city appears on the horizon long before they reach it, of course--and it stretches and stretches and stretches, swallowing up the landscape until it's all that can be seen before them. And on a hill in the center lay the Tower, as if it were a monolith to be worshiped by an awestruck populace. But if that's the case, then the god has been abandoned: there is no one left alive to pay tribute.

But if that's the case, maybe it's the god who abandoned them first.

The city is dead, and its population has fallen like ash on the streets and buildings. The bodies are familiar ones to those who have seen their home worlds after being taken from it: corpses that do not decompose, with their insides pulled out through their mouths.

The city is sorted into ringed districts--while time is not on your side, you have to pass through each district anyway, so there's nothing saying you can't do a little exploring as long as you don't dawdle too long...

The computer waits silently, the projected, blue keyboard still glowing on the desk.

Hilda stepped to the side when Riku came in, clearly he had a much better idea than her as to how that machine functions so she'd just silently wait while he does his thing.

I'm so incredibly sorry for the late orz

Riku moves forward, frowning down on the keyboard before tapping on the projection of the space key. He takes a half-step back, looking for anything that might have any similarities with an on button, just in case that doesn't bring any results.
