>>5881666Just out of curiosity, you decide to look into the pouches of the corpses you've spread around the area. It appears some of them were crushed by the brick fall, you notice pools of water and patches of grass randomly strewn around the now snow-filled area, however you do manage to snag a couple of them. A red one and two blue ones to be exact, they've gotta become useful at some point.
>"Storkie, hurry! Let's leave before someone comes and blames us for this mess!">"Oh right!">"But that was super cool! You were right Storkie, that magic number thing really is something else!">"I- Umm... Didn't actually use it... this time.">"Oh... Well, that just means you don't even need magic to look cool!">"Don't patronize me."You and your partner run across the corridor at top speed. In no time at all you reach a big sign that says "Welcome to The Capital!", with multiple small crystals covering its edges, you can't tell whether they're gemstones or just really beautiful ice stalactites.
You open up the heavy metal doors, revealing quite a sight for sore eyes, you can hardly believe it. Immense concrete buildings cover your view from east to west, covered in snow and smoke. Crowds of people dressed in formal wear and fancy colorful wagons move around the streets, men and women with tired looks in their eyes, barely sparing a glance at anything that isn't their destinations.
>"Woah... It's... Almost like home..."Sure, the buildings are rather rustic and you'd rather have a hoverbike than a stinking wagon, but... the atmosphere is exactly the same! The loud noises, the busy people overflowing from the streets... A tear almost escapes your eye, after running around a stinky mushroom forest, a creepy cowboy town and a bunch of other junk you'd rather forget, you've finally found a place that feels like home again.
You set your sights once again at the gigantic blue tower, now standing extremely close to you, yet still hiding behind a crapton of buildings, still will be quite a walk until you reach it. Though honestly, you wouldn't mind wasting some time around here, it looks quite friendly in fact! What will you do?
>Make a beeline for the tower>Walk around town and enjoy the sights>Look for Anis around town, that bitch ain't getting away this time!>Go back in the tunnel and investigate that hole in the ceiling further>Test out that extra blue Orb you got, just so you know how they work>Write in
