What their Eyes See: Optional Ongoing

[voidtreckermods]

By day eight the Voidtreckers have made a good deal of progress in all their tasks but there is still a lot to do to help the people of the city.

It is around mid morning when there is a message on their comms. For those that want to help it is easy to either find Anan herself or ask for netpoints and scanners to be brought to them by Chiff.

Illusions have gotten worse, uncertainty and fear are rising across all tiers and the situation is becoming more chaotic by the day. Indeed especially on the first and second tiers it seems that the voidtreckers themselves are being targeted, with creatures stalking them and attacks on their minds to make them believe that what they are seeing is real.

Same inside the Spectura system, the vines seem to almost be on the offensive against the voidtreckers though things are getting better outside the game system as more of the vicitms are freed and wake up.

Almost opposite to the situation on the lowest tier, which is getting more chaotic by the day. Anger is bubbling over, people are frightened and in a place like this the only real way to express that fear is through anger.

There has been a lot of progress but there is still a lot of work to do, especially as many of the voidtreckers have started to realise, this all seems a little too familiar.

"Will do. Do you know if the illusion will break naturally if people are far enough away?" Magic isn't his specialty - not this kind, anyway. Ask him about demons and he'd be fine. Illusions? Not so much.

"I don't, and with illusions happening outside of the fighting ring now, I don't believe they will." There's no safe area. Not on the fourth tier at least. People are going to get hurt, and it won't be just the Voidtreckers.

"Remember, the illusions aren't always bad things either." But Thanatos doesn't believe for a second that more people will start seeing those illusions instead. He seems to be an oddity from what he's encountered.

"Great. All right, I'll do what I can." He doesn't really have anything that'll dispel illusions, but maybe if he dazes someone for a few seconds it'll hake them out of it. Couldn't hurt to try - it's not like it'll damage them.

"And... yeah. But clinging to an illusion for hope is... it doesn't help anyone."

"No, it doesn't." Thanatos shakes his head. He should be thankful that his illusion with Zagreus was brief. No matter what way it ultimately would have played out, it wouldn't have been good.

"Be careful."
