Everyone here has done a good job of making engaging characters that are interesting to read, yeah. Xenon has also done a good job of incorporating player ideas into the story; several parts (including the Hillocks) were directly influenced by our ideas.

I have posted! Things have been tough on my end, but I apologize for the delay all the same.
Everyone was able to successfully leave the barracks; everyone minus one, that is. At some point after their exit, Maxim noticed the wound Erith got was deeper than anyone had initially realized. Despite the best efforts that anyone had or would make, he was now dead. With the recent death hanging over their heads, the team waited for what felt like forever for Titus and Kristo to return. In reality, it was maybe five minutes at the most. With map in hand, the duo met with the rest of the group in a place away from prying eyes. None of the guards had suspected a thing.
Titus unfurled the map once he knew everyone was safe; it was the moment they had all been waiting for. Unfortunately, the path to freedom would get tougher before it got easier. The key was located on the fifth floor of the Warden's headquarters, in the same room as the big boss' office and living space. Beyond that intimidating information, the team would have to search for it on their own, since the precise spot it was in was not listed. The one silver lining here was that the building was the closest one to the entrance, so it would be a quicker route to the exit than anticipated once everyone was uncuffed.
The first three floors were described as well. The first was a reception area. The second was for lower-ranked clerical workers; the kind one would find in an office, not a church. The third was filled with offices for the management of the District. Meanwhile, the fourth floor was surprisingly undescribed. The map only said "fourth and fifth floors forbidden to all personnel." They may have been forbidden, but it wasn't like the group would be free by playing by the Warden's rules.

James: Have you ever thought 'Man, fuck the sun'
Barracker: Yes times infinity

The writing I posted today is part one of a two part collab xenon and I wrote, in case anyone was wondering.
After waking up, Adam prepared and ate a quick breakfast consisting of some of the food he got from Vadim, then cleaned himself up and got his equipment together so he'd be prepared if something happened. It was unlikely given the fact that he was just taking a quick walk to get to where he wanted to be, but this was a strange world and the unexpected was, well, expected. The man didn't encounter any members of his group on his way out of the hotel, which was probably for the best. The Druid had no idea what his destination's operating hours were and if any of them wanted to (deservedly) yell at him or something, he might miss his chance to visit the place entirely.
After a short walk, Adam had arrived at the place where he could find the information he wanted; the Earth and Fire Domain Library. Thankfully it was open, and it had a superb design, being made out of clay bricks that look like they were glowing as if they're metal in the process of being forged. Interestingly, they were even warm to the touch, but certainly not harmful. There was also a symbol in the center, located above the curved archway that was the building's entrance; a flower whose stem and leaves looked like a green torch, with the petals resembling a flame. The man was impressed by the structure, but noted with amusement that Eric would say something about the fire flower from the Mario games. Really though, the plant reminded him more of the Statue of Liberty, being much more realistic and serious looking than a Nintendo game usually is.
Once he entered, the Druid saw the interior design was more like a classical library, containing wooden shelves holding books as far as the eye could see. The ceiling had an ornate design, featuring bright colors arranged in patterns of different sizes against a black ceiling; Adam realized they were supposed to be fireworks and wondered if this was the way libraries of this sort were usually made. And he also had no idea how he would find what he's looking for, so he went up to the front desk; there, he saw a short, thin elven girl with purple hair and glasses reading a book. The man had no clue how old elves lived to be, but if she were human she would have looked to be in her early 20s. Hearing his footsteps, she looked up at the man.
"How can I help you?" she quietly asked. It seemed at least that part of the library experience remained the same.
"Yes, I was wondering if this place had any books about plants from Mytheria?" he politely asked, matching her volume.
"Oh, are you an enthusiast or something?"
"Something like that, yes. I'm not from here, so any information would be helpful."
"Hmm…I think I know where the books that you'd want are, but do you want to see our garden first? There are native plants there and it would be on the way."
Probably nothing there that would help in battle, but in this world of many unknown things, they could potentially use lethally poisonous plants as good luck charms or something. Actually, what poisonous plants could he use in battle? The thought had never even occurred to him, but now it seemed so obvious and-oh, right, can't be rude to this person. "That sounds nice, lead the way, miss…"
"Fiona. And you are?"
"Adam, it's nice to meet you."
The two made small talk until they arrived at the somewhat small outdoor space, located at the other side of the entrance. The plants were decorative, but there were many he had never seen before, including ones that had stripes like candy canes and ones that were holographic like some of Eric's Pokemon cards. In the center, there was a noticeably empty patch of dirt, so the Druid asked Fiona why it was there.
"Oh, this garden is often used by Druids practicing their invigorating growth techniques,” she told him. “That patch is where the Firaga Rose is grown. Outside of it’s natural habitat, the volcanoes of Dragonsridge, it barely lasts a day before it burns itself out and dies.”
"Sorry to hear that. Wait, was that the plant on the wall outside of the library?"
"Indeed. It's so valuable because it contains actual fire. Obviously not something you'd regularly expose a flower to."
"Could I try growing it? I seem to have a talent for making plants." Adam pointed to the crystal on his left hand with the other as a way of explaining it.
"Well, sure," Fiona reluctantly answered, "but please be careful, and don't be disappointed if you can't do it. It's tough-"
Her thought was interrupted, however, by the sight of a growing torch flower right in front of her very eyes. The flower rose up, slightly malformed, but the rose head and the fire inside was in tact. The moment Adam stopped, it burst into flames and disintegrated.
“You did that, without even knowing what it was…? Having only seen the symbol at the entrance?”
The woman was astonished, but upon seeing her expression, the Druid spoke modestly.
"This isn't that big of a deal, really. I'm sure anyone else in my class could do this."
“Not even close,” another voice intruded. It was a half-orc man sat by a small table who’d watched everything transpire. Glee Artorius was his name - famed adventurer of the party, True Grade. He blinked a bunch, then said. “By the Mother’s crystal tears, you couldn’t be further from the truth if you tried.”

While everyone else was discussing the newest member of Second Chance, Adam had went to sleep. It was easy to obtain for him, but it was not a restful night. The man's dreams were brutal, the deaths of Arthur and Clive repeating themselves in his head. Sometimes the events in the Hillocks would play out like they actually did, while other times it would be worse. There were sequences where the Druid would literally have blood on hands from killing the two himself. Other instances had the red-eyed individual restrained by the water ninja while he was forced to watch Aurok annihilate his team.
What finally woke Adam up was an instance where MacKensie was slowly being tortured to death by their cube-seeking opponent. The man couldn't cast, move, or do anything else to help. He could only watch as she suffered before the deed was finished; at that moment, the Druid was asleep no more. Looking out the window, he saw the sun rising to indicate that morning was there. With no reason to go back to sleep, the man got up and began getting ready for the day ahead of him.

@Saiyan okay, I'll post now. If anyone complains though it's your fault :P
I have most of a post finished, but I'm waiting to see if anyone else writes first due to the nature (har har Druid pun) of mine. Like always, I'm enjoying everyone's content here!
@Saiyan I do need to think of a post, but I will make one. Unfortunately Proxy had to leave the roleplay because of "real life" stuff though; I wish them all the best with dealing with it all.
