Armed For Battle

Some Otherworlders that were salvaged after the events of 'Black Friday' would be wandering throughout the Depthsroot and come upon the old Armory that was still intact. Here, they would look into the assortment of arms that were available.

Some of the Depthsroot Residents, who were relatively meek, miserly and to themselves before the events that started their exposure to all of these new developments, would migrate into the Armory as well, wondering what the newcomers would be doing in a place like this. "Tourists?" they wondered, trying to figure out what the Otherworlders' intentions and purposes were for seeming to be preparing to go to battle, or something.

"Something like that," a one rather burly and gruff looking man, who stood at least 6'0 said in a ragged, almost torn voice. There was darkness over his face as he stood in the shadow of the shop, mulling over whatever weapon suited his fancy. His attire was clearly not of this world, but it also didn't seem to be too outwardly expressive, either. It was a deep navy and hugged his flesh tightly, as did the rest of his garments that accentuated his physique and form. He lifted a large weapon with great strength single-handedly, but rather immediately put it down, as if only inspecting. "... But I wouldn't get too involved in our affairs if I were you."

(Bump)

The Otherworlders that were outfitted with their weapons and arms of all types would look around to each other, some with morose faces that were grim with knowledge. They did not speak, yet they all knew. Many took their leave before the ignorant Depthsroot Villagers had a chance to inquire anything further, but those that were not quite set would remain and continue to peruse the rather limited supply that there was. These Otherworlders could make due, no matter, so it did not phase them. They could take what they could get and be satisfied with that.

The Depthsroot Residents were confused by the words of the Otherworlders, perplexed as they also predicted they would be. They did not know about the events that were going on beyond them, which meant that they were ignorant to the goings on of the outside world beyond just the Depthsroot. It seemed like there was much, but there were things that they would not understand.

Unfortunately for the Otherworlders, the Depthsroot Residents were a curious bunch because of the natural wonderment of everything that was beyond their natural order, which wasn't even really fully established yet after the horrible attack on the city that they were still rebuilding from. There were many strange things happening all at once that none of them could help but to be interested in because it had never happened to them before and they wanted to look and see what was going on. It might even answer some of their questions.

So they made a plan amongst themselves secretly without telling anyone else about it and then split up among the Depthsroot Residents all throughout whatever remained of what was left of the Depthsroot, of which had been dying since the destruction of the Depths. The people that weren't able to integrate into the Dusk when it became the Dusk the first time had to live in whatever was in the outskirts, of which was still called the 'Depths,' and start over. They eventually continued to die off as they went along, soon becoming the 'Depthsroot' as they lived on as the only surviving members of the clan of the 'Depths,' as it became called when there were too few of them to distinguish anymore between any of the remaining clans. Whatever was left of everyone's bloodline had already fused together by this time, and they were all a single clan, regardless of what anyone was before.

Still, even with their becoming the 'Depthsroot,' they were out in a barren land away from the Veritas that no one could pay attention to because everyone was attacking Khrona, whom apparently had gone insane and started using his powers to start 'Ending The World.' After eventually making their way back to the Veritas, having somehow settling in the sewers underneath the Dusk for a very long while, and now suddenly were part of the Veritas now, which meant that Khrona apparently succeeded in conquering the world, of which they were only just recently informed about. That, too, piqued their interest, and they figured they could find out some juicy shit. "Aw hell yeah." Cuz you already know that was Carl. He was the ringleader behind the whole project in the first place. That's why they were devising this scheme to go out and get some more information. It was the perfect opportunity.
