Who: Certain leaders of Hydra and Canis
Where: The Abandoned City
When: Day 295, Afternoonish
What:

[There's a flickering light flitting through the streets of the ancient city today—two, actually. Although they don't seem to be moving in any kind of cohesive pattern . . . They haven't even crossed paths yet.

The torches and their bearers are wandering this way and that, dodging areas that show fresh signs of the activity of predators (although there are some surprising signs that someone has wandered right into obvious terapede nests . . .)

One of those torch bearers is Scowl, out today to scout the area for anything . . . well, telling.]

	I generally assume she'll do as she pleases and the rest of you will either humor her or restrain her as the situation demands. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	righthandsmoke 2011-12-06 12:08 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, but the only times we ever restrain her are if she's about to seriously hurt someone. It barely fucking matters the rest of the time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Aa? Don't start acting like everything's on me again. You know it isn't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blue_mind_group 2011-12-06 03:28 am UTC (link)
	hfff No, I fully accept that I've been something of an idiot. I hardly think either of us are blameless in the last hundred fifty days worth of...whatever it's been. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	righthandsmoke 2011-12-06 03:44 am UTC (link)
	At least you're admitting it plainly now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blue_mind_group 2011-12-06 03:48 am UTC (link)
	I thought it was somewhat obvious. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	righthandsmoke 2011-12-06 04:12 am UTC (link)
	It's never obvious what you think. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blue_mind_group 2011-12-06 04:17 am UTC (link)
	...I suppose that's fair enough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	. . . Tch. You haven't seen any other collapsed passages yet, have you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blue_mind_group 2011-12-06 04:25 am UTC (link)
	Not yet. No sign of any furry little targets, either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Figures. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	May as well go the one way we've got. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	righthandsmoke 2011-12-06 04:49 am UTC (link)
	I know. It's not like we've got any other choices. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[The walk is thankfully uneventful as you continue, except for the odd, hyperactive scrabble here and there... but no further sign of the furry little bastard.

The tunnels narrow and by the strain on your calves, it seems that you've been going up a steeper incline for a ways. Finally, the way ends rather abruptly in a metal trap door, hinged outward, set so low in the narrowing tunnel that you have to crouch to stand directly below it.]

	Fuck—finally!! I swear, if this thing's locked I'm gonna kill something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blue_mind_group 2011-12-07 02:46 am UTC (link)
	At this point, I can agree to that. examining the door, without touching it yet; is there a way to open it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sabra_la_iudex 2011-12-07 03:06 am UTC (link)
	[The door is build reminiscent to storm cellars, at an angle and designed to push out rather than in. There's no locking mechanism that you can see, nor knob or latch.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	righthandsmoke 2011-12-07 03:13 am UTC (link)
	If you stand out of the way, I can use my staff to push it up. Just in case. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
