(Im just gonna assume since
@gutens ain't gonna be here, we kinda gotta improvise in term of story- So I guess we can assume that most of the group got to the abandoned village and have been there-)
Ryoma surveyed the area around with a sigh. 3 weeks. That's how long he's been here, trapped with a bunch of, in his opinion, weirdos. At least, he thought so? Who knows. He bit down on a candy cigarette, leaning against a half-busted chimney. He was on a rooftop, as he wanted to get away from everyone else. "It's been weeks, it feels like...but we aren't one step closer to making progress." He thought. He knew why though. A while before, when they first arrived where that Byleth guy (who kinda reminded him of Shuichi, in a way-) was leading them, that Ralsei kid told everyone that this should be their place of staying, until they got more information. And yet, now, there was nothing new popping up. Just some minor enemy attacks and a few attempts of scavenging had some out of these past weeks. At least the village had SOME supplies, and enough shelter to hide out in. Ryoma sighed once more. "Is this our lives now...?" He wondered.
Ralsei, of course, made the best of the situation, as always. Once they arrived in this village, broken and abandoned, it reminded him of his little abandoned castle town. And he had fixed that up, so he would fix this up too! Over the weeks he'd help anyone out who needed it, and began working on patching and rebuilding some of the houses. He had even found that he had some stuff left over from when Kris shared their inventories, so he was able to start planting food, like the Dark Worlds fruit trees! Even if the "fruit" were more like marshmallows- but he also ended up with supplies to bake cakes like he usually did, so he tried that! Then he ended up discovering plants he could get seeds from and plant normal food though, so he had a small garden for that. He just wanted to help everyone! He was currently hanging out with Susie though. "It's a good idea! I'm surprised you'd wanna do that!" He told her in response to a suggestion she made. "Yeah, I'm pretty great, huh?" She stated, grinning.
Susie...had adjusted. Barely, but adjusted. She had spent the weeks they'd been there just going back out to scavenge and explore, bringing back whatever she found for the group. She hadn't made any effort to get to know anyone more either, mostly just going solo. But...she'd still hang with Ralsei. And sometimes Bernadetta. She spent the most time training though. She had found a larger, broken down building that may have been some sort of church? She didn't know, but she decided to "renovate" it, Aka., make Ralsei renovate it to her liking. She had it made into a more training-like area. She wanted to improve her fighting skill without her usual abilities from The Dark World. But, after realizing smoething, she had gone to Ralsei. "We've been here, but...we dunno much about anyone. And they dunno about us. We should finally discuss that, right?" That's what she had offered, and what Ralsei was excited for. They both made a plan, gather everyone up for a meeting, and find out more about who everyone was, and where they came from. "How many people do I gather?" Ralsei asked, Susie shrugging. "Whoever you can. Just get at least 1 or 2 people first, we can always gather the rest later." She responded, the prince nodding and going on his way.
So, Ralsei started running through the village, looking around for everyone. "Hey guys! Susie wants to hold a meeting in the village plaza area!" He called out cheerfully. Ryoma heard from his spot, shrugging and coming down from the rooftop, walking to where Ralsei had said they were meeting, nodding at Susie in greeting, the monster waving back a bit.
