New Arrivals: Bury Me Alive
When you wake, it's initially to darkness: musty, stuffy, and dense. Your eyes may take some time to adjust, but when they do, something will rapidly become apparent - namely, the fact that you're underground.

Unfortunately for you, it's not merely earth that separates you from the surface. It's also flowers in rich abundance - an untold, innumerable weight of dead and decaying plant matter, twined around the ancient bones strewn underground along with your sweet self, pressing down from above, peeking through the cracks in the metallic folds of whatever material once comprised these buildings' ceilings, walls, and floors.
Whether it's a mass tomb or something more sinister, you'd better figure a way out, and quickly. If you didn't show up with a shovel or some means of teleporting yourself out, you may very well need to resign yourself to digging your way out or making a lot of noise to attract someone who can, before this becomes a more dedicated grave.
Everyone Else: All Will Change and Calcify
As for the rest of you, well...if you're anywhere near the regions of G5, you might hear the sounds of a not-insignificant number of people finding themselves displaced underground, and requiring your imminent assistance in getting out. Perhaps you'll recognize the place. It is, after all, very well marked. They'll probably be properly grateful if you mind offering the help, and hey - it's a welcome break from the eerie, ever-present silence that clouds almost the entirety of Umui. As long as you don't mind digging around that old cenotaph half-buried in the flowers and scraping through sheets of metal, a lot of flowers, and...oh, yes. The first bones you'd be finding since arriving here.

Including their diagnostic systems.
The warning, repeated shrills will undoubtedly be heard by anyone who passes:
ALERT: STAGE ONE DETECTED
ALERT: STAGE ONE DETECTED
ALERT: STAGE ONE DETECTED
ALERT: STAGE ONE DETECTED
And that's probably fine. Right?
All new arrivals will awake with knapsacks, their names stitched to the front. The contents of said knapsacks can all be found in your acceptance notices!
As a final note to those who participated in the Test Drive Meme, bear in mind that those threads, if all parties involved would like, can be game canon in the form of dream-like memories involving a place very much like this one, though the layout is considerably different.
Feeling a tad adrift? Make sure to check the Locations Page, which has details regarding the starting areas and a handy map for those who feel better with a bird's eye view!

Not to say the warnings everyone's talking about aren't distressing.
Honestly, though, he really doesn't think anything of it at first, making the trek back home with Leopold at his side. It's even late enough that it's not that weird to see Ardyn out and about. Should he say something? Should he leave things well enough alone?
But then Ardyn coughs and that is not normal so now he's... worried? Yeah. Worried. He detours back towards the local apocalypse, Leo rumbling unhappily and throwing himself on the ground in the middle of the path. Home has food. Why is dad walking away? How dare!?]
Hey. Ardyn. You don't sound so good. [Braced for the inevitable verbal assault.]
no subject
[Weird, how easily that could sound like 'go fuck yourself'. Especially with the hoarse edge his voice was starting to take on.]
no subject
You at least want a drink before you tell me off?
[Holding out one of the bamboo water bottles he carries with him, it even has filtered fresh water~]
no subject
no subject
[It's easier to to offer Ardyn solutions than think too hard on what the fuck just came out of his mouth. It was just Scourge, right?
Right?]
That's... new, isn't it? [Fuck]
no subject
no subject
Ardyn... [And now he sounds even more worried, brow furrowed.] When did this start? This is not okay.
no subject
[why are you like this.]
no subject
The fuck it isn't. Answer the question. How long?
[You're not the only one that might be affected by this by the way, asshat.]
no subject
no subject
Has it been getting worse or have you been coughing this shit up the whole time?
no subject
[Ardyn didn't say anything at first, just glaring for a second or two.]
You think this is the first infection that we've encountered in this ridiculous place? It doesn't matter.
no subject
[Just because it's not the first time doesn't mean it's not dangerous.
Why does he curse so much more with you around, Ardyn?]
no subject
no subject
[He stops himself mid sentence.
Stupid question, frustrating as all hell but stupid question.]
Look whether you want to believe it or not just pretend with me for a minute that y'know people care about each other. Why would we want anyone to suffer through some kind of freaky flower disease?
You, me, anyone. I get it been there, done that, but doesn't it fucking suck?
no subject
I make it a point not to carry anyone else's problems anymore, actually. I don't care what happens to me, and I care even less for anyone else's fate.
no subject
But the words just... make him sigh, something sad in his expression even if he knows it'll just piss Ardyn off.]
Who's gonna look after Hresvelgr if you keel over, huh?
no subject
no subject
[How can you be so flippant about your impending doom, Ardyn?]
no subject
I'm used to it.
no subject
[He frowns though, crosses his arms, considering.]
Even being used to it if you can stop it why wouldn't you? It's gotta suck and hurt like hell.
no subject
no subject
Congrats, Ardyn, he's at a loss for words.]
cw: suicidal ideation
no subject
[But it's not like he has any solutions.]
No wonder you're such a bastard. [He's teasing, really.]
