THE ATTACK

[devoutish]

BUILDING 90

[devoutish]

Only the dining room remains intact in this house. The table has been pushed up against the door which would have once led to the hallway, and there are chairs tumbled on the floor near the door that once led to the kitchen. It seems like they must have been stacked against the kitchen door at one point, but something pushed its way through. A sign reading "DAY 58. REACHABLE SHELTER TO SOUTH, SOUTHEAST. SNOW BLOCKING TO WEST." has been placed on the kitchen table. "ALPHONSE ELRIC, STEPHANIE BROWN, FREYA CRESCENT, GREED, BIFF, RHYS, DAY FORTY EIGHT, TRAVELLING SOUTH-EAST" and "SHEENA FUJIBAYASHI AND ZELOS WILDER, DAY 61, TRAVELING SOUTH" have been carved into one of the walls.

BUILDING 93

[jumpthegun]

[The building is a standard single-story house with a kitchen, living room, dining room, bathroom, and bedroom. The decorations here have an Eastern European style to them--around the Baltic region, although there aren't decorations in enough detail to place it more closely than that. "ALPHONSE ELRIC, TADASHI HAMADA, STEPH BROWN, MAMI TOMOE, DAY THIRTEEN, TRAVELING NORTH" is written by the door. "ALPHONSE ELRIC, STEPHANIE BROWN, FREYA CRESCENT, GREED, EDWARD ELRIC, BIFF, DAY FIFTY-TWO, TRAVELLING NORTH-EAST" is carved into the wall. "SHEENA FUJIBAYASHI, ZELOS WILDER, DAY 059, HEADING NORTH" is written on the wall. "ALPHONSE ELRIC, STEPHANIE BROWN, EDWARD ELRIC, GREED, DAY FIFTY EIGHT, TRAVELLING SOUTH." is written on the wall, alongside "DEAR FORMER RESIDENT, WE ARE FRIENDS, PLEASE DO NOT FEEL YOU NEED TO HIDE FROM US. CONTACT LELRIC." "House 49 of the map" is written on the wall in marker.]

Building 88

[silverfuller]

((A two-story A-frame house. The first floor has a living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, and two bedrooms. The second floor has a master bedroom, master bathroom, and balcony. This house has a working wood-burning fireplace in the master bedroom, but no wood to burn in it. The armchair in the living room has been torn open and all of the foam inside and pieces of fabric outside have been removed. A sign reading "DAY 58. REACHABLE SHELTER ALONG SNOW BLOCK TO SOUTHEAST." has been placed on the table in the kitchen. "ALPHONSE ELRIC, STEPHANIE BROWN, FREYA CRESCENT, GREED, BIFF, RHYS, DAY FORTY EIGHT, TRAVELLING SOUTH-EAST" has been carved into one of the walls.))

[Haurchefant runs. He has Tifa in his sights before him and behind him the monstrosity with the ghastly tail scuttles across the snow drifts.

He'd taunted it with a stone almost before Watson had finished barking orders. It was instinct. If people had to run, he wanted the creature chasing him and nobody else.]

THERE!

[The elezen points a finger towards house as it looms into view.]

Go! I will be with you anon!

after 1000 years of crying

[haillenarte]

[by the time he's finished talking to haurchefant, francel's eyelids and nose are blotchy and his voice still sounds nasal and pinched — but nevertheless, he's done tifa a great disservice by almost totally disregarding her up until now.

what to do, what to say? francel fidgets and fumbles, but eventually he works up the nerve to approach her, executing a very proper and lordly bow once he's close enough — though the effect is somewhat ruined, perhaps, by the fact that he has to pause to wipe his face on his sleeve.]

Um... I wished to apologize to you, my lady. [a sniffle.] For this — this most ungentlemanly display. It is unbecoming of... of a lord, and... of any young man, I know.
