[Area] Necropolis, Underworld

"Fair enough, he can wait forever and like it."
Hypnos resumes walking down the street with Medi until they reach a sign which says "School - Turn Right".

He turns the corner, continuing on the sidewalk at a pace where she can easily keep up with him.
"Looks like we're almost there."

This road seems similar to the other, still with the same weary looping routines and broken buildings. The school is likely a few blocks away, but a thin mist is restricting how far down the road can be seen.
"Man, this place is a complete fucking dump. You'd think they'd have some nicer looking architecture around here..."

Hypnos takes a moment to think about that. Is still being around after death worth it? With all the run-ins with his fellow alternates every time he moved about in the tower, all he could really do is just sleep. It was difficult getting the energy he needed to do anything substantial when he was cooped up in that log tunnel... but, he feels like it's at least better than nothing.
"They could do better than this. Even the tower, ran by the earliest of us, has more style and usability than this place. And there's like, at least 500 of us and growing! I almost wanna march into the fucking mayor's office and demand some changes, but at the same time I just don't have the energy for that kinda shit anymore. I'm not even sure how I got this far out the door today."
An eerily lit structure looms across the street. Rows of large blue torches edge the walkway leading into the mouth of a massive stone skull. The eye sockets are also lit up with blue torches, burning through the mist like lasers. The rest of the building branches out from the stone skull facade with curved walls seemingly held together by what seems to resemble a stone ribcage. There is a row of leafless husks of trees lining the front lawn, refusing to fall despite their long due expiration. A few of them seem to be wearing robes, for some reason. The construction of the building seems incredibly sturdy and imposing, unlike the slum-like shadow of a neighborhood surrounding it.
"Holy shit... look at that badass building..."
Hypnos wonders if the city spent all the money and energy on that building.

There is a man in gold and black robes who is presently standing outside the building, there are a couple smaller robed figures surrounding him and asking for autographs. He happily obliges and also shows off his cool scythe, a white and gold scythe that is piercing an ornate heart at the top. He spins it around and does a couple tricks with it before tapping the back end on the of the fans surround him. He laughs and the fan is a bit spooked but they they all laugh. Soon the fans disperse and the man sees the two idling characters just outside. He strolls up and motions a welcome.

"Why hello there. Looking to enroll?"

Medi also jumps because of the sudden voice.

"A-ah! Err...I...I...I don't think I can take that much responsibility..ha..ha...ha?"
She then notices Hypnos fall over.

"...H-Hypnos...?"
She crouches down...but doesn't try to touch him, afraid that she might do something accidentally.

"H-hey...wake up..."
She really didn't want to talk to the new, tall stranger all alone.

Hypnos appears to have a dangerously low energy level. The presences of others seem to be helping marginally, but it appears he's been lacking in social contact and probably some other things too.
Come to think of it, how long has most of the tower's inhabitants been gone, and how long has the fountain been off for that matter? Not that those two would know much about either of those things.

Despite his current condition though, Hypnos manages to mumble something out.
"...where's my brother..."

The man visibly perks up.
"Theta! My, my. Yes. I just saw him some time ago. Master Willow was giving him a rather interesting assignment."
He looks around the school yard gate, then leans in and whispers.

"Word has it, he's on a very special mission right now."
