Jacob's figure slumps slightly, as he feels the pulls again, and given permission to give into it. He nods slightly, stepping down into the hole now. "Yes sir. I will catch up to the guild later." his voice softer, reflecting how he has loosened his tight grip on himself.

Astra blinks, suddenly reminded that Beta was there with them. She nods slightly as the shadow wolf introduces himself and keeps talk, consdering his words with a bit of a bite on her lip. "...I don't understand the situation with your master. We're still mostly in the dark about it." she slowly kneels by the wolf, "...and most of us can't feel those connections either. Unless there is something to proove they ae still there, we assume they have moved on." she looks up at Dante a moment and back down to the wolf, "Death doesnt have to be the end sometimes. If I die, theres a chance I could become undead...but even the undead can have their connection to this world severed." she falls quiet a bit after that, wondering if her own parents were still connected to her, or resting peacefully, but deciding to move on quickly with the conversation, "Its better to assume people who have died have moved on, rather than wonder...but, could you tell us more about what's going on?" she finally asks.

Chi sighs as he finishes up his plate, gulping down the last of his drink, "and now she's annoyed...."

He stretches, before looking over at Bane, "Alright, let's go find her"

Peter remains quiet as he had for most of this exchange, his prince once again giving words of loyalty to Lady Astra. Inside he was happy and amused, and a bit sad. Such vows are always bittersweet, for the reason that the lady herself has just pointed out. He nods slightly to Dante's first question.

Though his loyalty, personally, is first and foremost to Dante, he is thankful to her. Understandably, his prince had fallen into a great despair after the war - the slow sinking of a loss of purpose that none of his followers could alleviate in the way that he needed. If Peter had known that a child would bring the light back to Dante, he would have went looking for one.

Alas, this story was going to end eventually, and it was going to be a sad ending. Either his prince dies first, which Peter knew would be seen as a failure, and would devestate Astra who...despite her attempts to be a strong leader, still leaned on Dante.

Or....Astra would die, and that would take away Dante's purpose.

Obviously, it was not a thought Peter, or any of the group, liked to visit.

So he perks up as Dante turns to ask him a different question, tilting his head, "Well, it is morning.."

Back in his room, Jacob pauses as he is about to step down into the hole. His senses were still extended out, though since he wasn't on duty anymore, he had been largely ignoring everything. But he had been hearing his name off and on for a while now, "Yes...well, not quite." he answers the air, taking a step bac and standing a bit straighter, "...did you need me, sir?"

The shifter takes a long drink, and nods with a faint smirk "Right, I think you get it." he looks over at Ash's plate and pokes it, "anyways, focus on your food."

Astra has no words at first. She just stays in the moment with Dante...and Peter. Finally, she smiles softly, perhaps a bit sad, due to the topic, "...youre very insistant. That means you will wait for me to die first, you know...that could be a very, very long time..."

Peter, for his part, stays quiet for the moment, but appears graciously thankful for his prince's words

...in another part of the base, another vampire walks into a specific room. His room.

Technically, it was a storage room, but now it was full of decoy crates as the guild prepared for their move. The light from the hallway illuminates what purpose this room has left - a meticulously carved out hole in the packed dirt. The Fang moves towards the hole, his hands slowly working on loosening some buttons on his uniform as he prepared himself...the curse of the day sleep always pulled on him harder than most. He could ignore it - he's trained himself to be capable. But it takes too much willpower to do that, and expect to be able to handle an invasion too. It was always better to work around ones handicaps, and play into ones strengths.

It's still settling into his mind, how the streets look. How the buildings look. How this person looks...

Wow, and to thin he could have been almost anything. If he had known, he would have second guessed his choice to make a human.

Talon thinks he looks cool in his own way, but still.

The settling continues, and he sighs with regret as he starts trying to think things through. Trying to ignore the earth-shattering idea of having just been...absorbed into a game? Transported into a world? He watches as his comrade in world hopping does enough freaking out for the both of them. Pursing his lips, he nods slowly. "Yea I uh...don't really get those references youre making there. I barely even remember the trailer for spykids3 and...have no idea what the other one is. but -"

Talon frowns, testing moving his hands or his weapon, "...isn't this like an isekai?"

He stops and frowns, looking around again, "..but..aren't isekais like...getting pulled into a better world, usually...? This place is a d-"

While looking around, his eyes catch on something. Or someone. At first, what Talon saw was a guy slumped over but still shuffling towards them. Then there was the groaning, which he only just realized he had been hearing for some time now. The human tenses up. Did a game like this have zombies? No way right...? It was supposed to be about demons and that kind of thing...right?

it was then he saw the concealed culprit- the brown paper bag in the figure's hand giving him reason to relax a little bit. Looking over at his compatriot, he nodded back in the man's direction, "...wanna check out our first NPC?"

good enough to look at what i got and try to figure out responces for people

energy levels are fluctuating a bit, but i assume thats brain stuff more than that stomach bug (working on that too)

Embedded : The Vanished

it makes sense to have the world act more naturally, the npc dialogue i almost assumed, it was just the nature of the starting area yknow?i dont wanna take over if you had plans you wanted, sorry about how i had worded things there

Embedded : The Vanished

question: will the limits of the 'starting area' remain in effect? like monsters dont come in?

(also tempted for the groaning to be a drunkard or soemthing instead of a monster XD)
