"Open Gate"

Definitely finish the word HELP before they decide it means HELL. Write "INVISIBLE, OPEN GATE?" If you're more artsy or that doesn't fit, draw a ghost, cross it out, draw an eye and cross it out, draw an ear and cross it out, then draw an open gate. Clearly they will understand.

Right. You got a little distracted there.
Just stating your purpose plainly does sound best.
Drawing it out might be faster, though.

Guard: There's more words happening! Get a better angle, I can't see it!
Guard: Hold on. Let me try something.


Guard: Nothing? That doesn't...
Guard: Did you find it? With your light stuff? Do you know where it oh my gods it's TALKING TO US WHAT DO WE DO
Guard: Okay, hold up.
Guard: And get off, please.

For the gods' sake, why can't they make this easier?

Guard: Go get Marie and tell her what's going on.
Guard: Wait- do you need- like- uh-
Guard: It'll be fine, just go.


Guard: Aright. Now. Whatever's here with me, I'm going to need some answers.
Guard: Even if I had the authority to open this gate I wouldn't do it for some unknown entity that, for some ungodly fuckin' reason, despite being apparently invisible, doesn't even read as concealed to my magic.
Guard: I’d love to 'help', but I need more to go on here. And I need a reason to trust you.

SpoilerThat didn’t quite get the cooperation you wanted. Seems like you’ll need to think up something more to persuade this guy. At least it seems that you did get a higher up involved, hopefully someone who actually has the authority to open the gate.

Your injury, your exhaustion, and that magic you’ve used are starting to catch up with you, though. Would it be better to keep talking to this guard? Or to wait and see if more important people show up? Will you be able to convince anyone with words at all, or should you just quit and try finding another way to get this gate open?

You wish you knew what was doing this to you. You wish this were over.

Meanwhile (for real this time),
