It is a somewhat idle thought, but I wonder if the lack of substantial wildlife outside the city walls means anything? I cannot seem to recall having seen any animals -- save a bird, once. The city itself has been established as abandoned, but -- under natural circumstances, the fields and forest should not have been affected, I think

There's no wildlife? That's a shame... it looks like a nice forest...

What battle? ... Please don't tell me it has to do with that blemish on the sky.

...Sorry, I'm new here.

[cicumae]

Ah, not at all -- welcome to Nuadoria?

I'm not quite sure if it was exactly a battle, but outside the city perimeters, in the field, there are several ancient remains of war -- weapons, armor, bones. It's unclear as to whether that was what caused this city to be abandoned or not, but it may mean something in the end, I think.

Thanks, I think. I'm beginning to feel like this isn't a place one can be welcomed to.

And, huh. Well, if the fight comes back...

[cicumae]

Haha, it does take some time to adjust to this city, I'm afraid.

But the people here have pulled through so far -- so perhaps it will be possible to keep on going.

Hahi..? Now that Haru thinks about it, she hasn't seen any animals since she got here!

This is.. really creepy!

{VOICE}

[cicumae]

Haha, I've just realized, myself -- it doesn't seem to be something substantially noticeable, unless one thinks about it.

[acosmistic]

No animals...

This place is really damn weird. But, even a battle shouldn't have wiped the wildlife. They're usually smarter than that to get caught in it and would return when the danger was over...

...right?

[cicumae]

That is certainly true, which is why I wonder whether the cause of the city's abandonment was something other than a battle -- perhaps a natural disaster of some sort?

-- although the pristine state of the city suggests otherwise.

[acosmistic]

...Do you think it could have been a sickness or some sort?

-but there aren't any bodies and no one left to clean up...so I guess that wouldn't make sense, either, huh?

voice ;

[cicumae]

Unless it were a disease that decomposes a body entirely, that also sounds a bit unlikely, doesn't it?

[spazinator]

...What? Battle? Destruction?

voice ;

[cicumae]

Ah -- I apologize, it must be a jarring matter for those who are new to the city.

Outside the city perimeters, there are ancient remains of a battle scattered about the fields -- which I, and some others, might have guessed was the reason this city was abandoned. However, it seems as if that may not necessarily have been the case.

voice ;

[spazinator]

J-just a little bit, yeah.

...If it was abandoned, why are we stuck here? This is like...SCIENCE FICTION. ONLY REAL.

voice ;

[cicumae]

Haha, I suppose one could put it like that -- the situation does take some time to get used to. And I'm afraid that question is one of many that have yet to be answered.

[enduringresolve]

Now you mention it... I have seen no forms of wildlife, either. Not a bird in the sky.

Curious.

[cicumae]

I must admit that the single bird I've seen in the forest also seemed out of place -- perhaps an unfortunate one that ended up here by the same method that we have. It's strange to see the fields and trees so empty.

[enduringresolve]

Strange, and quiet. Perhaps the ocean, then. It's possible there are some manner of fish dwelling there, is it not?

[cicumae]

That sounds like a reasonable possibility -- if marine life were still present, I suppose that would mean whatever wiped out the city and animals were only a land phenomenon.
