Wash raises an eyebrow at that first statement. But then he holds up his hands in surrender after a few moments. It takes time. He knows it takes time. Even admitting it is hard and he knows pushing doesn't get the best results. No, that is ultimately a goal that takes time and a lot of patience.

Stuff will fuck you up in a way you can't just strong arm through. We're in a siege situation. The Darkness struggles to get through the walls, and we struggle to get out of them. Buuuut we also have all the resources we need for survival, so the Darkness can't starve us out," he said, taking a pointed bite of his food.

But we need to wait for that information of where to go, which can take months. There are monsters and smaller skirmishes, but it's more like territory disputes than all out war. Plus when it comes to Darkness, you need to know the magic of this place, and you're sometimes going to need to do weird rituals because we're not fighting solely on a physical level. Fact is, you're going to have a lot of down time and you WANT the downtime because bonding with people is actually vitally important for some of these rituals," he said.
"It's a lot of hurry up and wait. There are bursts where we can do a lot. Then a lot where we just kind of have to live," he said.
