Sentinel of Tears | Open
Who: Hornet + anyone who tries to investigate the City of Tears
What: Go exploring, get stabbed.
Where: Messiah, the City of Tears
When: Just about any point in July
Content Warnings: Possible violence.
[Hornet has a great many problems with this land she has found herself in. Her silk is gone, the creatures are either too affectionate or incredibly eager to bite her, and worst of all, it's torn her away from her duties.]
[...Well, the last one isn't entirely accurate. Certainly, this is not her kingdom— but she found a piece of it on the beach, and with further investigation, she found more. The City of Tears is just a little bit off, encased in an odd structure, infested with unnatural constructs, and with parts seemingly fused with technology she doesn't recognize. But the city streets are there, and beyond the fury of seeing a piece of her kingdom further defiled she is relieved by the familiarity. And then, once she's satisfied her curiosity about what has changed about it, she settles in to do what she always does.]
[Guard it.]
The Front Entrance
[Those who approach the structure in the sea will find the entrance easily, given that it's a massive hole in the side. What they will also find is Hornet, stood at attention with her needle in hand. Some may find it comical, a single person standing guard for an entire city, but Hornet refuses to acknowledge that.]
[The moment you come within shouting range, Hornet whips her needle out and points it squarely in your direction.]
"Halt! State your business."
Inside
[Despite her diligence, some erstwhile explorers may find their way into the city regardless. Perhaps you find another entrance, or slip in while Hornet is absent on patrol— but one way or another, you make your way into the City of Tears unaccosted.]
[That's not to say you'll stay that way.]
[It may start with a flicker of red cloth, or a distant crash of steel, or a cluster of cans scattered and reeling like something worse just tore through their group. Whatever sparks it, you're starting to think there's more than just robots in this city, and whether or not you'll leave in one piece depends a lot on how respectful you've been.]
Darkness
[After light starts being a proper thing, patrolling the inside of the city becomes a much harder task. Not even Hornet can see in the dark, and coupled with erratic winds she deems it far too troublesome. It's not like any intruders could see better than her.]
[Still, it's her city. Self-appointed she may be, but she refuses to give up her role as guard. Thus would anyone coming to explore or pay a visit find her knelt just within the darkness, her needle driven into the ground for stability against the winds. Odds are she hasn't moved in days, if time can even be measured in a place like this. It's probably fine.]
