[ It's been a few days since the first arrivals trickled in to this iteration of the monastery, and there's been some improvement to the area, at least.

Which is fortunate, really, because the clouds have finally decided to open up and let out a torrential downpour.

The grass out in the courtyard almost immediately becomes saturated with water, squishing beneath people's feet as they step through it. Drainage in the monastery is a real problem in some parts, particularly near the marketplace area. Slowly, as time passes, pools begin to form, though some of the remaining debris serves as a decent buffer between the water and whatever crates merchants may have left behind. It may be a good idea to salvage some of that, though it's not likely to be ruined thanks to said debris. In general, it's likely a rude awakening for any new arrivals.

Of course, some would say that rainy days are the best when it comes to fishing; some would even say they're right, given how the fish seem to be out in droves at the lake. If one didn't mind potentially getting soaked, they could bring in a real haul during this rainstorm. The dining hall is not nearly as well stocked as it had been in its heyday, so this could potentially be beneficial for the community.

For some, it's likely best to stay inside and find shelter from the rain. Thankfully, most of the monastery roofing seems to be intact, save for a few sizeable holes in the cathedral. Still, that doesn't mean there isn't a leak here and there, so watch your step, particularly in the dining hall and the second floor of the dormitories as well. It might not be a bad idea to put a few buckets out to catch all that water . . .

  • as noted on the "mod" plurk, I'll try putting up open posts roughly once a week going forward. it'll depend on how things are going, no big. ]]

[ well, dimitri is right about that. it's not like it's his fault that the flame emperor turned out to be that person. and it was only until later that felix learned about the relationship between his childhood friend and that person. it's only natural for him to feel pure and utter pain at the sight of a dimitri who doesn't even know what the future has in store for him.

or does it? maybe he'll be trapped here forever. felix always wanted to get away from here as soon as possible, for the simple fact that this strange place is nowhere close to the garreg mach he is used to. it feels restrictive, almost like a prison, and he wants out of it. as soon as possible.

but that doesn't seem possible anytime soon. ]


How is your room, by the way?

[ smooth. felix glances into the still open door leading into his room. the water trickling from the ceiling continues to ruin his bed. ]

( Blinking, Dimitri turned to follow Felix's gaze to the open door. He hadn't been inside of it since he'd arrived to this new version of the monastery, but if it was anything like some of the other rooms, it likely was in a questionable condition. Especially if Felix was leaving it with his pillow. )

My room? Decent enough, though I believe someone else may have been using it recently.

( There were spots that looked untouched for who knew how long, but there were other places that looked as if someone had been there recently. Was there another version of himself here who might have been using their space? Or was it someone else taking refuge there while their own room was unusable. It was difficult to say, and a part of him felt... unsure about using the room until he knew for sure. )

Is there a problem with yours?

[ someone else.. huh. he hasn't even thought of that. truth be told felix just used his room the way he always had back during their time at the academy. he was never one for trinkets, so he hasn't paid attention whether new stuff has been added or other stuff has been taken away. then again, it did look like bandits had been living here for a while, so maybe one of them was using his room during that time.

somehow that's all the more reason to find somewhere else to sleep. ]


The ceiling is leaking and my bed is ruined.

[ he shrugs his shoulders, taking it surprisingly well for a noble who is used to the utmost of comfort usually. but this is felix and he probably sees things like that as another opportunity to prove his strength or willpower. ]

Maybe I'll just sleep in the stables.
