FFD6 The Dicening, Group 1, Chapter 1, Mission 1

[Krylo]

The young white mage wrangled her compatriots into doing their job, and the group moved forward cautiously, but steadily. The silence in the air seemed an almost palpable thing, making even the midday feel somehow like night. Or perhaps it was the effect of something more sinister.

As you approached the hospital you came upon a small park, which the road runs through. The trees seemed ill tended, as though the city had been dead for years, rather than weeks, but not over grown. Quite the opposite, they appeared to be diseased and bug eaten, though no bugs seemed present.

A playground sat in the center of the park, corpses much like the rest of the city's, but much smaller, adorned it. Proof that whatever it was that struck the city left nothing alive. Not even the children.

It wasn't long after that you reached the hospital, entering the reception area, which was just as dead and silent as the rest of the city, though there were only a few corpses here, spread about, still sitting and waiting for their appointments in death.

To your right in the corner sat the receptionist's counter, the young woman who once sat there, slumped against it. Behind the counter were two doors leading out, one on the wall to your right, and one on the wall opposite the entrance. More directly opposite to the entrance was another door, with another to your left. These seem to be the doors that patients and nurses used to see the doctors on the ground floor, or clinic level.
