It would be more efficient to separate from Wendy to check up on both pairs but you decide against it. Probably better if you just met up with Lex and Ashley, you'll have to reconvene somewhere so you'll probably use the clock tower as a planning spot.
<span class="mu-b">The underground river WOULD keep you safe from the Snowstorm</span> but only if you planned on visiting the Hospital or Graverobber Village. Might be tricky if you want to go anywhere else, especially the three locations that have Corpos roaming around.
Eh. You'll worry about it later.
Your trek down to the ground floor of the clock tower with Wendy in tow. Your legs are already beginning to collapse underneath you since you have never had to walk up and down so many flights of stairs in your life. If it wasn't for the PARADIGM you were given at the start of the mission, your body would've given out by now.
Good thing you helped the Handler out with Katherine or-
Wendy grabs onto the back of your winter jacket right as you're about to fall. "Yeah, no. I'm not letting anyone but ME crack your skull open. Keep moving." She pats you on the shoulder before letting you go. "Schwester."
Doesn't take a genius to realize what she called you. Cute.
Finally reaching the bottom of the spiraling staircase, you step out of the Clock Tower...to head down more stairs. You're half tempted to use your last charge of DRIFTWOOD IDOL by throwing yourself down the stairs but you're not sure if it blocks you from losing limbs and teeth. So you decide against that.
The trip down the second flight of stairs is long enough for you to get a good look at your surroundings. It was pretty clear and bright about twenty minutes ago when you were at the top of the staircase but now? The sunlight is a lot more muted now and there's a healthy shadow to everything in your immediate surroundings. Looking towards the sky, it's a lot cloudier than it was now. You can't even see the sun anymore.
You can already feel your stomach starting to grow. Right, you left the food PARADIGM with Lex since he had to carry a lot of stuff anyways. Probably a good idea to meat- meet back with him soon. The moment you two arrive at the bottom step, you start jogging over to where the Bank was to reunite with Lex and Ashley.
One good thing about exploring abandoned towns and ruins, there's no one to bother you or to get in your way! Sure, you're left exhausted once you stumble in front of the Bank itself but at least you arrived without any issue.
The bank itself looks like any other damn building in this town. If it wasn't for "BAHK" being written onto the front of the building in blocky stone lettering, you would've glossed it over as any other apartment or restaurant or homeless shelter. Your SEEKER self loathes how monotonous every building is.
Oh well. Time to meet up with your allies. You push open the front doors to see...
Nothing. Nada. Fucking empty. The whole front lobby of the Bank has literally nothing inside of it.
