[Anyone who looks outside on Saturday, 10/19 will see a bright red glow – there seems to be some sort of dome encompassing the entire city. This certainly was not there before.

Shortly after this goes up, a network post will be sent to all of the Chosen.]

█▌▂lo?

C⎔n you see th▀s?

The God of C▒▒flict has placed a barrier over the city. Connecting with you ▍s... difficult right now. I am trying to bre▩k through, but he has gathered too much of his power in this city.

I will need your as█istance in destroying the ba▆▆ier from the inside. And... after that, I am certain I will need you again to put the G▒▒ of Confli▒t back in his place.

I will take the next week to gather my st⎔eng█h in order to break in from the outside. That, my Chosen, is when I will need you to a▬sist me from within.

The best way to break the barrier will be to find physical pr⎔⎔fs of your connections with the people of the city that I can con▬ect to from the outside. Give these to M█na, and she will know where to take them, and where to take you for the final battle.

Are you ready for this final task, my Ch▩sen?

[OOC: It’s time for a final discussion before endgame begins! As you may have guessed, characters will be sorted OOCly into the Shopping, Entertainment, and Fashion districts to find the items necessary to break the barrier. The explorations themselves will begin next Saturday, the 26th - this post is merely for discussion leading up to the event.

Dani will be available to NPC only today (Saturday). After today, she will be unavailable, and so will Mina! This is the final day to get any Mina Q&A/general chatter in!]
