a vast, meticulously carved pit in the center of this city begs one to descend.

a dark sky overhead draws their focus next, sun blotted out by some supernatural cause the knight has no name for. the fiery rim of the eclipse is briefly alluring. yet there is naught an implication that this setting bears any significance to the small one. neither familiarity nor abnormality piques a thought in the void-filled shell atop their thin shoulders.

merely a sense of purpose. a duty, a drive, one sole impulse sewn into their very being. yet the beings milling around this strange crater are not of their kind, nor that of bug-kind. none such creatures have been known to those of hallownest.

yet, still, nothing stirs within them. nothing but purpose.

he has scoured through numerous destroyed buildings by now. out of curiosity, boredom, or simply as a byproduct of coping with the whiplash waking up in another strange city without rhyme or reason, liquid attempted to ignore placing a reasoning. it changed repeatedly - he was content with falling into a weary sense of exploration thrill.

yet this scene he stumbles across now ... baffles him.

snails. they are definitely snails, in impressive numbers, slowly carving slimy paths across the floors and even up onto musty furniture. in the corner, they seem to congregate over a still form. it looks as though they are creeping over the body of a person, which in itself is strange, but the state of that person is impossible for liquid to ascertain at this distance.

slowly, and perhaps a bit warily, the blond steps over the snails, creeping ever closer to the seated figure. when he comes to a relatively harmless distance, further than an arm’s length, liquid crouches, peering at the half-concealed face of the other.

“ ... well, you certainly don’t seem a corpse or they would be eating you.”
