Please excuse me.

I am aware this is an unorthodox question. But I am not in a position to research it myself.



Are there any habitable locations outside of Trench? Preferably those with minimal populations.

Thank you for your time.

Not that I know of.
Unless you can't the weird town with the weird god that just got taken down.
I don't think I'd count that place yet.

[knowsvinewhip]

I see. Thank you.

No, I don't believe the abandoned town will be of help. There is really nowhere else?

[onekindsoul]

Anything outside of town has generally been too dangerous.

I'm sure you could find something that would do the trick if you looked. But I don't how reliable that might be.

Back in the dream we couldn't even leave the town without weird things happening.

[knowsvinewhip]

Well, thankfully, I'm rather used to a nomadic life. I don't think having to move location to location will be too difficult.

Has no one really investigated out here?

[onekindsoul]

I've done my fair share of globe trotting myself.

I think it's generally been considered pretty dangerous. The further you get away from the city the more blood powers tend to not pack the same punch.

If you're looking to explore a little more. I'm sure you could convince some people to come along.

everything seems pretty dangerous. even that big empty city wasn't really good for that
why?

[knowsvinewhip]

Yes the

The empty city won't be of any help I'm afraid.

The reason is rather complicated.

[centile]

i went there to see if it was okay to live in too, far away from everyone
i guess i don't really know why you're asking, but if it's because you want to be far away from people i don't think it's a good idea
people need people

[knowsvinewhip]

You also wanted to live elsewhere? Away from people?

May I ask why?

[centile]

because sometimes i can't control my powers and people can get hurt
with all the corruption and beast stuff i was worried too. it's just another way that can happen, only worse

[fogsong]

Any particular reason you're looking?

[knowsvinewhip]

Ah that is

That is rather personal. And complicated.

[fogsong]

I figured as much but... since you're anonymous and all, might be a good idea to vaguely discuss it, and maybe someone on the network will have some good advice.

In any case, I don't think it's a good idea to live away from others. The further you are from the city, the more dangerous it is.

[knowsvinewhip]

I'm sorry, that's not something I should be divulging.

It's simply necessary for me to do at the moment. I'm aware it isn't entirely wise.

[fogsong]

Is this because you're afraid you'll hurt people by any chance?

[ That's the only logical reason she can come up with as to why someone would need to be away from people. ]

There's a friend of mine who lives in the woods, out near the Salt Lake. I think that's part of what helps him make it work that far out.

It's only because he's very capable at handling corruption and beasts though. And he's really good at surviving on his own.

Are you worried about being around other people?

[ The question is just... phrased too politely to seem like an asshole who just doesn't like others. ]

[knowsvinewhip]

Near the Salt Lake. Is it safer there? Or is it merely because of your friend's skill that he's better off there?

Ah well.

For the sake of argument, let's say that I am.

[likethelight]

Both, I think.

He was used to protecting himself from and fighting corruption before this place too. I don't think it's an option that's a good idea for just anyone. Otherwise they're likely to just go missing and become one of the beasts in the forest.

It isn't so much a worry about fighting off creatures that exist out there after all, but becoming one yourself.

. . . [ Just that. There's the dot dot dot of someone thinking and trying to formulate a response for a while. ]

I don't know who you are or what your reasons are so I can't really say... I could be wrong. Maybe you turn into a werewolf and eat anyone around you once a week.

But in my experience running away from your problems just makes worse problems.

[knowsvinewhip]

I see. Thank you. I'm learning quite a bit from this simple post.

Does fighting them often result in transformation?

[It would definitely explain a few things. He'd been fighting them in that other city. And then suddenly ended up ... like this. Despite his best efforts.]

[The response isn't all that heartening, but it's still more information than he had before.]

I've always been the sort to run toward the problem, really. For better or worse.

This time it is... in everyone's best interest I act in the opposite of my usual habits.

[likethelight]

If you mean becoming a beast... fighting in general can be dangerous, since it getting wounded or hurt and getting any sort of blood on you risk getting badly corrupted.

If you're still trying to figure it out, I can talk with you about it. I've been here almost two years now. Purifying corruption and trying to save people who have become beasts... it's what I do.

[ A long pause. More dot dot dots. ]

I can try to help you, if you tell me about it.

For your best interest too.

I see others have mentioned the abandoned city and what a poor idea that is.

I don't know how many live along the roads to the farm, but it can't be terribly many. We're warned off of them due to the potential of beasthood or being attacked by beasts, after all.

[knowsvinewhip]

Yes, they have.

Is there truly nowhere outside of Trench considered safe for habitation?

[unphase]

I suppose there's the Outpost? I know people go to it on a regular basis, my best friend being one of them, but I haven't heard of anyone choosing to move there permanently.

[knowsvinewhip]

Ah, well. If people are there regularly, I'm afraid that won't do.

But thank you for your suggestion, regardless.

[unphase]

Visiting only, as far as I know. There may be a bit of land off to the side where they don't. But, in case it doesn't work out, you're welcome.
