"I don't hear any bells. Wonder if they're broadcasting something that you're picking up."

Re: Nechronica
EVENTS:
Emilia focuses on the sound, closing her eyes.
Emilia: "Words, but very faint. I can't understand well. Something... About a heart, and telling people to go somewhere?"
The group reaches the edge of the village, and knocks on the door of one of the houses. No response, despite the smoke coming from the chimney. The door seems unlocked, however, and the broken glass windows clatter as the breeze blows against them.

"Not a good sign. Why do they call this a village if it's basically dead?"

Re: Nechronica
EVENTS:
Eigla cautiously opens the door and peers inside. A medium-sized room, though it's hard to recognise its original purpose from the lack of furniture, and rotted walls and floor. Dozens of figures, barely lit by the glow of a small fireplace, which in turn is obscured by someone kneeling in front of it.
Undead.
Zombies, Dolls, strange creatures of all shapes, huddled together to avoid the cold, either nude or in rags. A few dull eyes turn to look at her, but most just stare straight ahead or at the dirty wood floor. The smell is horribly offensive, and the multitude of low groans and hushed whispers doesn't do much to comfort you.
At least they aren't attacking.

"Why is it never simple. Why is it always horrible. I doubt there is anything of value in these houses. We should check the church."

Re: Nechronica
EVENTS:
Eigla moves closer to the fire, pushing past the two-headed girl that was tending to it. Small pieces of timber and foliage, though you didn't see trees. There must be some sort of forest nearby.

Re: Nechronica
EVENTS:
Eigla: "Is it normally this cold out here?"
The two-headed girl gets back to her feet, throwing more timber into the fireplace.
Head 1: "Oh. Uh. I think so? At, at least, for the week we've been here. The mountains, they, they- trap the winds from the North. It snowed last night, t-too, and Myla can't stand the cold very well."
Head 2: "Cold... Cold..."
Klimt: "Who is in charge in this town?"
Head 2: "P-priestess... Bells..."
Head 1: "She, she's been hearing things. Bells, and calls from far away. I, I had to come. The priestess will see us soon. I think? I think."

Re: Nechronica
Head 1: "Walked, for a long time. Can't, can't remember where from. After she lost her body, it all got... Confused. Confused, yes. Then, she said she heard the bells. And, it was somewhere to go. A lighthouse, like, like one of the ones at sea. Maybe this priestess, maybe she'll make it better."
Head 2: "Across... The land... Forests and mountains and hills..."
