You truly notice how tired the man is. Even though he just woke up, he seems to have exhausted himself a lot. All that brain power. You start to slowly sing him a song, soft, and sleepy. The man's eyes droop slightly.
Once again, he lunges forward, though you step out of the way. He falls forward, rapier falling from his hand an away from him. You keep singing, and he stops trying to get up. Soon enough, the man is snoring again.
You won! But you didn't earn any money or anything, and picking his pocket would be wrong, so you don't do that. You take a moment to catch your own breath. The path is clear. You stand, and walk through the narrow passage. You wonder how that man was even remotely comfortable.
As you walk, you notice several things. Old, worn down buildings. A busted down street, which you are walking on. It smells, kind of horribly. No wonder no one lives here. Well, perhaps that maniac lives here somewhere. He's probably watching you, if not following you. You turn around, but no one was there. You let out a sigh of relief, and keep trudging forward.
There it is. A door. Probably the door out of the ruins. You've seen a lot of doors, but this one looks important. A great big high arching door. It's got some sort of symbol on it. And, it's open.
You realize you still haven't seen Jordan, and you have no idea where she is.
Just before you step through the door, something catches your eye. It's a needle. But it has two things in it. In fact, it looks exactly like the one that mad was carrying. An Essence Extractor.

It's useful during the early game; it'll be more useful to use Save sparingly later, when decisions have large impacts that aren't immediately obvious.
If we had several save slots, I wouldn't even be worried about that, but as it is, we have just the one. Once we're out of the tutorial and into the game itself, I propose reducing the number of times we save to alternating posts, and potentially fewer as we go further. (I cannot be the only one who makes seperate save files for each large decision and branching path I come to just so I can go back and check the other path if it's sub-optimal)
Edit: Also, if you weren't constantly doing it right now, I would be. No reason not to, atm.

You carefully pick up the syringe. You examine it carefully. There are two vials, separated. They seem to have a label on each, that you can just barely make out. The one says blood, and the other seems to say "essa" but you already know what it is. On closer look, it's rather different to the one that freak had. It seems to be, older.
You stand up and turn around, looking around for any place that he could be. Truth be told, with all the ruined buildings, he could be anywhere, watching you, just waiting for you to make your last mistake. You shudder. From your bag, you pull the shorts, and wrap them around the syringe. Better that than nothing.
You look back to the open door, and shiver slightly. You pull out the winter coat and put it on. It's getting cold here. You close up your pack, after making sure your syringe is not going to prick you. Or break. You step through the door.
Before you is a long, dark, cold passageway. There's a light at the end of this tunnel, but something seems to be blocking it. You hope it's not him. You continue forward. You feel as if you're making no progress. But you keep going.
And going.
And going.
And you keep walking.
"STOP!"
And before you know it, a shard of glass whizzes by your face. It missed.
"I am afraid I cannot allow you to go any further," Jordan says, all her features hidden. You can only see her silhouette.
"They're going to kill you and take your essence so they can start a war with the surface dwellers, don't you see that? And you know, ultimately, you surface dwellers won't stand a chance. Any of you who actually have a power probably have no idea how to use it! Sure, you likely have a stronger military, but there are thousands of people down here yearning to be free. There are thousands of people down here who are going to want you dead. Just because you came from the surface! The odds are stacked against you! I won't fail again. I cannot fail again. Not again."
She stood there for a moment, and then raised her hand.
"If you can make it past me, then...Perhaps you'll be strong enough. But I wouldn't dare take one more step if I were you," Jordan's words weren't cold, they sounded hurt.

Pacifist?...
You take a step forward, towards Jordan.
"If you came to hear me beg to leave, you're going to be disappointed Jordan. I'm sorry that my wish to go home hurts your feelings. That's all I'm going to apologize for. I will get past you, I will not let you stop me. I am thankful for what you have done for me Jordan," You say firmly.
Jordan looks intently at you, and then sighs. It's clear she doesn't want to fight you.
"If I hit you, even once, you're going to stay because you'd never make it out there," She says.
Shards of glass appear around her, and you. In moments, all of them fly at you. You side step them. They all shatter into the wall behind you. Jordan glares at you, creating a shard behind you. Yet again, you dodge. Almost too easy.
A storm of glass suddenly whirls up from under you, sucking you up into it. The shards spinning around you like a tornado keeping you off of your feet. Shards fly in at you, but you deflect them with your back pack. You fall to your feet.
Jordan looks at you, defeated.
"Fine then, go. Don't come back," She says, and walks away, from where you came, presumably back to her house.
You sit there for a moment. Silence has fallen over the room. You look towards the door, and stand. Once you pass through the door, you hear a distant clapping. It only gets louder as you continue forward.
He's there, in the center of the room, sitting on a tree stump, smiling at you, and clapping. All the light in the room is focused upon him.
"Impressive, most impressive. You've managed to avoid every single thing that has been thrown at you, and you haven't even harmed anyone. I'm surprised. But what will you do when you come across someone hellbent on your death? Oh, there's far worse than me out there, my friend. More hellbent than even myself," He stands as he's saying these words, arms behind his back as he turns away from you.
"And as for myself, well. I'll simply do what I do best. I'll lie, cheat, steal. And watch you. Don't worry my friend. My plan's much more interesting than anything you and your simple mind could ever imagine," He turns back to you, smiling maniacally. "Oh but what will you do...When you realize just how doomed you are."
You hear a ripping of clothing, as wings arch out from behind his back. As they flap, he ascends, laughter filling the room. You see him fly away, out from the ruins. He's gone.
What an interesting development.

From here on out, the combat difficulty is going to take a massive spike cause you folks have managed to avoid every single attack so far. Congrats. The tutorial is over.

She said "Don't come back". I don't think she'd take kindly to our returning in person. And as a vitreofex,she'd likely object by attempting to flay us alive. Hell,her MO reminds me disturbingly of Colonel Glass from Spinnerette. Me no gusta. So,with that in mind...
[X] Leave a letter of thanks for Jordan. Chisel it into stone,if you must.
[X] Proceed with caution.
