Who: DelPavo
Where:
When: Day 259, morning
What:

[there is a dirty, exhausted one-armed blank making his way to Pavo.

For the observant he's wearing the old uniform, and through the dirt and whatnot it's not hard to tell he's wearing Pavo's color. And then there's the hair - dirty, but still very big.

. . .

It appears that he's following a black cat]

[It rises up his legs as he continues down the tunnel. Up to his knees, and higher, up his thighs . . . he's having to wade now, and in the growing light he can see the water, see the shape of the tunnel, see the cavern opening up ahead of him—

See the cavern, as he stands at its edge.

A lake stretches out before him. There's the faint roar of a waterfall at one far side, though it's not a long drop at all. Scattered bioluminescent plants still cling to ledges and cliffs, lighting the whole area in dim, ghostly hues . . . the tunnel under his feet is slick with the remains of their rotted, flooded brethren.

The beebat colony stretching across the ceiling is barren and deserted, and here and there, odd things float on the water's surface . . . pieces of firewood, something that could be a bit of string.]

	[There is always going back. After all, if you have never seen a lake like this . . . Something large bumps gently against the mouth of the tunnel, drifting with the current. Large, and flat . . . floating with just the barest sheen of water over it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
