Dungeon Crawl - Crimson Lotus Academy
Who: Exploration Team and S!Renju; individual threads for K1 and Tom
What: Pre-dungeon, such as it is.
When: Early August, fairly soon after the existing Shadow threads.
Where: Multiple locations in Renju's dungeon.
Why: Supplementals.

Since everything that happens in the dungeon (besides the K1 and Tom threads below) will be happening in chat, there will be no "pre-dungeon" in the usual sense. Instead, since Renju's dungeon will be working a little differently from most, I'll be using this space for ground rules.

1. Insofar as is possible, OOC talk should stay in the OOC chat. If you have any questions, please keep them either there or to IMs with me.
2. Speaking of IMs, private IMs will be getting abused, especially during the first dungeon session. Please be aware of this and prepare accordingly.
3. This dungeon will be fairly wall-of-texty. Long posts will be split into chunks with ellipses linking them.
4. Important information will often be communicated via OOC chat. Please either pay attention to both or, if you can't, let me know so I can pass it on individually.
5. Bossfight-specific: Anyone who is not okay with unpleasant but temporary physical things happening to their characters or is potentially squeamish about reading about that sort of thing should avoid the bossfight or talk to me for specific details.

	Tom turned and looked at the Shadow directly. "Renju. I am not going to leave you. No matter what you say to me, or do, I will never give up on you. I promise." He turned and started to move on, back into the frozen wastes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

One moment, the space in front of Tom was empty. The next, the Shadow was standing a few feet in front of him, looking distinctly unimpressed. It seemed that it wasn't about to concede the point that easily. Then again, it had all the time in the world to argue--or at least two weeks...

"You don't seem to understand," it responded, sounding faintly annoyed, and leaning on the last word as it typically did. "You care about something that never cared for anyone else, least of all you. Don't you remember what it said to you and your true self in your home, when the others were talking about how you're all nakama?"

Tom slipped his hands into his pockets and took a step past the shadow. He continued walking, but spoke as if the shadow was with him the whole time.

"I'm pretty sure one of us lacks the gift of understanding, but I don't think it's me. But here's the thing. Before, I never asked. When I wanted to be on the team, but refused to be, it was because no one ever invited me."

He turned to look at the Shadow then,

"But I never asked either. And even with that, you were still there, telling me to be part of the team, to take care of myself. I understand that you don't feel the way I did, and I don't care. You came to save me. You still came into Paradise with everyone else and brought me home, you wanted to learn how to fight so you could deal with this.
So you think don't have a strong emotional connection to anyone. But you're actions speak differently. And maybe I'm wrong about that, but you and I can talk about it, when it's not so cold."
