The Silence of the Storm
Rations have been cut. Again. Everyone is on one bowl of watery soup a day. Sometimes with crackers, sometimes not. Most people are too tired and weak to do much more than sit around and talk, and nobody discourages them in the slightest. Work has to be rotated constantly as people weaken quickly, but the fires still need to burn, people still need to guard the cooks and rations, and the sick still need to be tended to. Soon the hardest job is keeping up morale while the big expedition comes back. All the gods and heavens of the multiverse help them if they don’t come back with supplies, and soon.
The boundaries have tightened to an almost suffocatingly small space. It doesn’t take much to imagine where they will be by the end of Winter, which at least makes planning a little easier. People are already relocating to deeper in the Plaza. Unfortunately it means that those who have enough energy to often end up fighting with their neighbours, as the close quarters tests everyone’s patience. There are a few spaces carved out for like minded people to shelter from the dreary situation. Mechanics and those like them have set up a nice little place close to the Crossroads Café, and a break area for those helping the sick is sheltered in a room behind the injured and ill. Zandros moves from groups to individuals, looking for help in creating some form of morale boosting display that will adhere to Isidor's instructions. People are surviving in whatever ways they can, but it's reaching breaking point.
((It's the Final Event Post, everyone! OOC Post is here! This is for those stuck at the hub while the Main Expedition is going on. There will be a second part to this post for the Return of the Expedition. In the meantime, have fun!))

He'd known that people hadn't made it back, but he hadn't expected to hear that someone had died by becoming a bomb. (Because of course he's dead, right? Who could survive that?)

"I couldn't go after him. So might have to figure something else out, now that we are back."

That no one's organized a search party yet, well, it's still early enough that he's not surprised by that part. Especially given just how violent everything got when they were at their strongest, which they certainly aren't anymore.

"I have seen it before in other super-powered folks. It is something I don't have... for my own abilities." Mostly, because it is madness that claims her. Always has a hold on her.
"I am just lucky I was able to get back up from the fall."

"Maybe he'll turn up."

She was never one that was comfortable with 'leaving a man behind'. Besides, if she was still out there... she would want people looking for her.
