[The moment Locke's transmission had ended and Edgar had said he was leaving to fetch the treasure hunter, Celes had informed Edgar that she was going with him. It had been a long time since she'd worried this much over one of her friends, but she couldn't help it this time. She hadn't been able to get a good look at what had attacked him; she only knew that it had killed his Sky Phone and now no one knew if he was-

No, she couldn't think like that. He was fine. He had to be.

She'd left her shield in Figaro simply because she didn't want to be held back by something so large. She needed the full range of her mobility. The entire ride on the airship had been dedicated to pacing, up one side and down the other, and then up another end. She couldn't sit still; she was too worried. The tension around her would be easy to feel, and the moment she jumped off the ship, she was all business. This was just another mission, something to focus on. She simply nodded at Edgar to show she'd heard before turning for the entrance.]Then let's go. We

just a heads up, I know nothing about Orbonne Monastery or the Necrohol so... bear with me! D:

[Sabin gave his knuckles a good crack before tightening the straps that held the Godhand on. With them easily tucked into underside of the glove, he nods to Edgar and Celes before staring at the forked pathway ahead of them. It seemed that so many of their adventures together always had them going their own ways only to meet up again later.]

Do we know of anyone else coming to give us a hand or is it just going to be three of us taking turns knocking some sense into Locke?

It's cool, neither do I. >.>

[Footsteps can be heard behind them, as Rydia strides into the structure with a determined expression. She's ninjaless; Edge couldn't afford to accompany her while preparing for the move to Alfitaria. Even so, she's as prepared as she'll ever be, whip coiled at her hip and shouldering a bag containing restoratives. She's not even sure they'll be needed, but given the treasure-hunters, recklessness, she isn't taking any chances. She takes out her sky phone, but upon spotting people ahead, puts it away and heads toward them.]

we'll be inept together Rydia! >>

[hi_no_dansu]

[Sabin's checking his Sky phone when he hears footsteps behind them and instinct takes over from there. He settles into a battle position and peers into the pathway behind them.]

Who's there? Show yourself!

this is the special thread for the two blondes who are either going to argue or kick some srs ass!

[hi_no_dansu]

[ooc: aka; considering that the parties have split up~]

[Sabin's taken to stalking the corridors as he's uncertain about what could be greeting them. If he has to fight something he's completely unfamiliar with, he'd rather have the advantage in that kind of situation. There's a chance that Celes may not agree with him but he's moving as quickly as discretion will let him. But he's going to mutter something eventually.]

When I get my hands on that thief, I'm going to wring his neck!

why not both? Also I know the necrohol well /MISSED THAT SOMEHOW WTF SELF

[magitekrune]

[That's fine with Celes. Her sword's out and she's ready, but she's watching their backs. It gives her something productive to do while she wanders in further.]

Stand in line and don't kill him. Making us worry like this.

[read: making HER worry.]

You mean... I'm not going to get ridiculously lost? AND YES TO BOTH. XD

[hi_no_dansu]

[Sabin's smirking at that comment.]

Is that before or after you kill him?

[Oh he knows but it's not going to stop him from whacking that idiot a couple times.]

If he had just called or waited. I went to that bloody Earth Shrine with him to keep this from happening.

idk depends on how lazy I feel XD SO PROBABLY NOT. /is too OCD lmfao - \o/

[magitekrune]

I never said I was going to kill him. [She would be too, but she's too focused. The smirk is in her tone anyway.]

Locke doesn't wait for anyone, not when treasure's involved. You should know that by now.

The treasure hunter flew through the air at the impact of the Oversoul. Feeling the impending impact with the wall on the side, Locke twisted his body, taking the the brunt of the force upon his back and bottom. He tumbled down the wall landing in an awkward slump. As luck would have it, as he started to stand, ready to fight off the embarrassment of being blindsided the wall fell trapping him underneath.

He struggled to lift the rubble off his legs, before realizing it was too heavy for his nimble frame. Frustrated, he reached into his belt for his dagger ready to dutifully chip away at the obstruction. He gave a wry smile as he thought of Edgar patiently waiting for the thief to return with the mirror.

Resigned to the fact that it would take weeks to chip his way free, he pulled out the mirror irritated that he was going to be late returning with his prize. Going to sleep still trapped under the wall with little progress towards escape, he dreamt of treasures to be claimed and friends to share it with.

so! is the oversoul still there y/n?

[hi_no_dansu]

After searching the outer walls of the city for what seemed like hours, Sabin had finally adjusted to wandering in the dark. Several monsters had already been dispatched along the way as he didn't have the advantage of Penelo's information but he saw no sign of any creatures in his current area. He peered into the darkness ahead and could make out a pile of rubble in the distance. With caution ringing in his ears, Sabin carefully made his way toward the debris when he spotted a mirror on the ground and a familiar body on the ground.

"Locke, you idiot," Sabin muttered before rushing in and beginning to shove debris aside.

When the Princeling comes to the largest pieces, he uses every ounce of strength that he has to heave the cumbersome stone slabs away from his fallen comrade. When the last of the walls are heaved away, Sabin stands guard over the thief as he flips open his sky phone. The light from the screen blinds him momentarily before he's calling Edgar to deliver the news.

"Edgar, I found Locke and the mirror."

/waits for official word

[magitekrune]

Having gotten separated from Sabin only recently and only for a very short amount of time - she was pretty sure he hadn't noticed - Celes came barreling in moments later, just in time to help Sabin shift aside the heaviest pieces. Her heart was racing and every inch of her strength was being used to help. She can't bear to think of what might greet her.

The second Locke wasn't buried anymore, she started casting Cure. It was mostly useless and she was well aware of that, but she has to be sure there was nothing else they could do. So while Sabin's calling Edgar, Celes was on her knees next to Locke's body, casting Cure after Cure. It sapped her energy, as she knew it would, but she didn't care. Locke needed it more than she did.

Her eyes were starting to water by that point and she was very, very glad Sabin was turned away and couldn't see her at that point. She didn't need anyone to see that.

/I figured it left, but whatever makes a good story

As the stones were lifted off his legs, a fresh pain barreled through them causing him to wake with a start. The cuts and bruises shown clearly through his tattered clothes as a scream of pain jolted through him. He instinctively reached for the mirror which had disappeared from his side as he felt the warmth of the cure permeating through his body.

Feelings of pain were cast aside as he recognized his friends there beside him. He grinned as he saw the familiar faces of Sabin and Celes. "And I thought the beds in Zozo were hard."
