B the Buried - It Begins...

Wherever you were when you first saw the frantic message sent through Friendzy, you are now in the Smiley Sands. B's Village takes time for you to find; Terrea is a large place, probably the largest you've ever known, and it takes Numbers to cross a single biome, especially on foot/orb/your limb of choice. Finding a collection of primitive homes in all the nothingness of the dry, deserted Sands is a daunting task. And since camivians make their dens deep in the ground, and certain subsets of blobs have taken to hiding shit beneath the surface, the biome is now heavily saturated with holes. Travel here is tough, and travelers have to watch their feet, or else.

If you brought a map or have seen one in the Onyxia Library in your past ventures, it's at least slightly easier for you to triangulate where the heck you are vs where you need to go.

 You can tell when you're getting close when you start to hear voices piercing the air. While Terrea is large, settlements are rare enough that most spaces are still and silent - but here, the air is thick with screaming.

Buildings dot the horizon and as you approach, a wide array of bloblings fade into view as well. The closer you get, the more detailed the scene becomes...

While B presented the situation as dire over text, in person it seems even more harrowing. A large group of bloblings are wading through the tiny city, and further back are several bubbles of blobs that are each at least two bloblings deep. It's difficult to see what's going down unless you take a minute to watch, but it seems like blobs are being plucked out of the city one by one and dragged into the bubbles, which is when the screams really erupt.

If you choose to approach, you'll see that the group of blobs slowly moving through the city has made it to a pleasantly orange-tinted blob and a few others. They speak about something for a few short moments, and then the group descends upon them, all hands and wings and tails... until the tangerine-coloured one with arms is being pulled away like several of the others before them. She's putting up quite the fight, but she has no legs to speak of, so ultimately... they overpower her.
If you're familiar with her, you'll recognize her as B, and they're tugging her towards the circles.

You're getting p close to the settlement now. The details in the houses are sharpening, and the faces of the blobs are coming into focus, if they have any faces at all. B is no longer visible, but a shriek with a bit of a twang to it comes from somewhere behind the wall of people you're running towards; it's not too far from you now.

If you join those remaining in the ramshackle little town, you'll see the feet of the mass of peeps approaching you. A hoarse-sounding voice comes from a bipedal blob with talons, and others fall in line beside them. "We're here to take you in as one of us - come and be a Brave, or we'll know you're one of Them... and the Them get buried."

The phrase is uttered simply, but with a deep sense of finality to it.

You appear to be one of the few who have shown up to defy these Braves, but a few others appear to be trickling in as they find the village, likely plagued with the same directional issues you were.

What do you do?
