11th Fragment - [Video]
[On tonight's exciting episode of Mysteries of the Ancient Unknown, a certain pretty girl squad just so happens to be walking along in the mysterious depths of Union Cave. So far... They braved the rivers, they fought against stormy weather, and they’ve fought off dangerous foes-- Okay... Dramatic Exposition aside, it had been smooth sailing so far.
But one of them was getting a very bad feeling about this.]
Um... Sheryl-san. I've got a very bad feeling about this... Are you sure you know where you're going?
Of course, of course! Don't you trust me?
[ The correct answer there should be "no", especially when the one speaking is one (1) Sheryl Nome who is currently holding the map to either the group's salvation -- or demise. Whoever handed her the map (or at least failed to wrestle it from her grasp) should take responsibility over the situation.
But anyway, she waves a hand dismissively in the air and looks around her, pursing her lips. And without even glancing at said map in her hands -- ]
I say it's that way! [ She points at the tunnel to her left. ] I've got a good feeling the exit's that way.
[Meet Ranka who is being ever trusting of Sheryl's decisions!! Nothing could go wrong with this. She's looking down the direction Sheryl's pointing at...]
That way?
[Cruz is still very unsure about this situation and he even realizes that she didn't even look at her map. But Sheryl seemed to be very confident here, regardless! And he wouldn't want to piss her off...]
... Is this what they call "A Women's Intuition"? To be honest, I can't grasp how such a thing works myself... [He gulps for a moment before clearing his throat.] If Sheryl-san says this is the way, then let's continue to move forward--!
Right then! [ guess who's grinning now. ] Cruz, why don't you head on first to see what's up ahead? Ranka and I will follow you behind.
Eh, is that okay?
[Okay there she is unsure about leaving Cruz to go on ahead by himself...]
M-me? [There is hesitation in his voice because that feeling isn't going to leave, but he nods.] Y-yeah! Don't worry about me, Ranka! I'll be fine!
[With that said, he'll start to run forward!]
He's going to be fine, don't worry. [ and she heads towards the tunnel as well at a more leisurely pace, peering inside before following after cruz. ] We'll be right behind him anyway so we can back him up if anything were to happen.
Cruz-ku-- Ahh... [why so fast Cruz] Okay, if you say so, Sheryl-san. [She'll be following them in after them then.]
[When Cruz stops at the opening, he takes a moment to gather in his surroundings. So far, it looked like a giant spacious area with a bunch of large boulders laying around. It almost looked like a nest...? No, it couldn't be.]
Everything's look alright...! [But why couldn't he shake that feeling that something was about to go very wrong? He was restless for that sole reason.]
[ a nod and she turns to ranka. ] Everything seems to be clear up ahead. Let's go.
[ sheryl emerges into the open space where cruz had managed to land himself a few minutes after, looking terribly displeased at what she sees. she's expecting an exit -- the end to this long, long, long excursion. but clearly, if there's anything this cave has more than anywhere in johto, it's rocks. ]
See? There was nothing to worry about after all. [ she slowly starts to walk around the perimeter of the area, looking down at the map again. ]
Now all we need to do is to find another tunnel that should lead us -- somewhere. [ because "somewhere" is clearly the most reassuring word while they're in a cave. ]
Another tunnel then?
[Ranka is still following but she stops to take a look around the place... Wow, that's a lot of rocks.]
Waaah, these boulders are pretty big...!
[There was a pause as he looks around for a moment. Did he hear something move? Was that light snoring? Impossible... Cruz walks up closer to one of the rocks and peers into it. And suddenly an eye jerks right open right there along with some loud movements. Like something out of a horror movie.]
...!!! [Cue a GIRLY SHRIEK as Cruz falls on his butt, crawls back and he's shaking.] Waaaaah!! T-t-that... Oh shit...!! Guys...! W-w-we've gotta get out of here before....!
[And as if they finish his sentense for him, a chorus of roars echoes throughout the cave. Are you holding on tightly to your popcorn, everyone? Our lovely Pretty Girl Squad have seem to have walked themselves right into an Onix nest! The feed suddenly cuts off from there.]
((ooc: You will be getting tagged by Sheryl, Ranka and Cruz for a triple whammy in this post. All replies will be set to an hour later once they're out of the cave!))
