	Well for me, that's actually accurate. ... No... there's no furniture at all, in any of the ones I've looked in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tch . . . Completely abandoned. We should just ignore it unless it's some huge building. There might be more to find in a place like that church. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Right. [continuing on down what he thinks is the main road . . . occasionally taking a turn here or there if the way is blocked by ruin] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[There are lots here and there of simple empty space. Whatever was held here, only a few firepits are any indication that people lived here too.

The road intersects with another, widening. The architecture to the north seems to get a little more grand... to the east, it seems simpler, but far more open, spaces wide between buildings, and each of them larger than the ones you just passed.

Akito pauses and then glances back...]

And speed... with the last mission, these work more than a little better.

[As they move, the road flattens from cobblestones to flagstones...

The structures become sturdier, thicker. There's less cosmetic additions and many of the places seem to have been built with a certain, almost paranoid practicality. The roads seem to wander a little more here, bring ing them past a large... disturbingly familiar building in the center.]

	Aa . . . We should take another big mission once we've gotten more used to this place then. (Reply to this) (Parent)

[Inside, everything made of wood or cloth has long since rotted... but of what was stone, and by the mishmashed types of stone - some limestone, some granite, and others - there was a lot of stone to build with.

A low, long table stands in the center of the entry room. There are still stains and scorches on it...

It's not perfect... where there were rough blocks set up for stools and chairs, there are carved and finished benches.

There's a spot in the corner, empty of the stove it once held, but the stone around it is still stained by ages of soot.

Two doors lead away and deeper. You know ... somehow, one leads to a bedroom, the other to a makeshift library room. The one to the bedroom has had something broken away, now there's something of a large step to get in over the doorframe.]

[Very quietly..]... It was wood... The leg never healed right, so a slope was just practical with the chill...

	[Quiet for several more long moments, running his fingers over the center table and then the walls, eventually stopping by the library's door.] . . . They kept all the history too. No one else was worthy of protecting it. . . . It really is theirs, isn't it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
