"This is it. You are all prepared, aren't you?" Issei asked. "It may be difficult to get back out again quickly once we're below. Is anyone making a map?"

As the most adult and responsible member of the group, all he could do was keep them from getting into too much trouble.

[theheirofbreath]

"I've got everything I need! Do you really think we need to make a map though?"

John peered down the staircase, trying to get his eyes to adjust to the dim light. Finally, something exciting to do! He had two hammers slung into the belt loops on his jeans. It wasn't Zillyhoo, but they were better than nothing. After a moment, he gives up his quest to see what's ahead and turns to the rest of his team.

"So.... anyone bring a flashlight?"

[go_go_lets_go]

Sakurako entered the dungeon alongside the others wearing her cheerleading uniform, with a lacrosse stick strapped to her back and carrying a small saddlebag full of bocce balls from the sporting goods store.

"Yup! Ready to go!"

[...]

"...No flashlight, though."

[scorpiospider]

"Do we reaaaaaaaally need all this?" Vriska smirked, crossing her arms.

[dreambubbly]

"It never hurts to be a little overprepared, Vriska," Feferi answered, rolling her eyes. "Besides, we don't know what kind of sharks are swimming around down there. I'm not going to risk it."

[stripping]

"I've got a flashlight." Issei sighed, pulled it out, and handed it to Feferi, who seemed to be the only one with a responsible response and a free hand in case they were attacked. (Sorry, John.) "And the map would be handy if we find a classical dungeon with twists and turns. I do not want to be lost in enemy territory."

After another moment of peering into the darkness, Issei cleared his throat. "I'll go in first."

[theheirofbreath]

"Wow, you've put a lot of thought into this."

He grinned, glad to have someone around who thought ahead. (Because he sure didn't) Not that he would've wanted to be the one with the light anyway, since that would make it harder to hit things with hammers. Which is most of what he planned to do down there. He nodded at Issei, pulled out one of the hammers he brought, and started to follow him down the stairs.

"Hey, if this turns out to be a 'classical dungeon' do you think we'll find treasure chests?"

[go_go_lets_go]

Sakurako smiles as she falls in step behind the others, unfastening the lacrosse stick from her back and making sure her knapsack is ready to be opened at a moment's notice. Otherwise she's just kind of cheerfully humming as she walks along, looking all around and paying attention to everything except what's right in front of her.

"I bet we'll find a lot of treasure! Like new weapons and stuff!"

[dreambubbly]

"Then I'll follow behind you, Issei," Feferi answered, pitchfork in one hand - she'd find a proper 2x3dent eventually - and flashlight in the other. Her school bag was draped across her body, and she was as ready as she could be.

"I'm really excited too, actually," she said, bouncing on her feet a little. "I don't know if I care so much about treasure - even if it is shiny! - than I do about seeing about waking up this Persona thing."

She looked around. "Are we ready?"

Cutting to the bottom of the stairs now, just to keep it moving. Is that cool?

[theheirofbreath]

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

The stairs were long and dark, without the flashlight, they'd have been in trouble. There was a distinct chill in the air as they descended into the depths below.

[And now I'm off to poke a mod about what's at the bottom of those stairs... ^^; ]

The first thing that you'll notice is rather odd music playing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyknBTm_YyM .

As yet, there are no shadows, just a long hallway that looks like the cast-down remnants of great fortress. Shattered granite and marble everywhere, burned out torches fallen from flambeaux, and the nitred stink of age and stale air is heavy in this place.

[scorpiospider]

Vriska was grinning at the prospect of treasure. But she had to be careful... any place could have nasty monsters in it and she was definitely not the one to be munched on before getting the treasure.

"Oh boy. That's promising."

[stripping]

That... was really not something he was pleased to be hearing. He seriously doubted that there was a boombox hidden anywhere in the darkness.

"Where is that music coming from?"

[go_go_lets_go]

"Did the Shadows get together and form an orchestra or something? That would be pretty cool, don't you think?"

As always, Sakurako's mind is clearly focused on the most important questions.

"Whoever's playing it is really good, though! I'm really impressed!"

[theheirofbreath]

"Yeah.... kind of weird for dungeon music. Sounds more like something you'd hear at a concert."

He glances around, half expecting to see people waltzing in the middle of the room or something. And something else is bothering him too.

"And where are the shadows anyway? I kind of thought the place would be crawling with them..."
