Barricade


[ The makeshift fortifications around the city are made of boarded-up buildings and huge walls of wood and metal wedged in between them. The whole thing is strung up with wires and lights as far as the eye can see. ]

[ There’s a massive yellow power cable on the ground. It splits into five parts and winds its way into five different buildings. Following the cable, you find five doors, each marked with a sign. ]

LUCTUS
[ This building does not look structurally sound. The walls around this door are cracked and crumbling, and there are piles of concrete rubble all around. ]

DOLUS
[ There are delicate spider webs clinging to the doorknob and façade.]

CULPA
[ There's old, dried blood soaked into the ground around this door, painting the cobblestones a sickly brown. ]

VERECUNDIAM
[ There's a tag hanging from the door like you might see at a hotel that says "Privacy, please!" ]

ARBORIBUS
[ You almost miss the door of this building because it’s been plastered over with a gunmetal gray wallpaper. There are small twigs pushing out between the cracks of the wall, and the cobblestones all around the entrance are shot through with roots. ]
