Who: Hydra, Ikki, Allen, ANY
Where: The Arena
When: Day 98, evening
What: When we last left our intrepid heroes...

[In the arena, there's some decent quality meat burning as a gift to two particular Judges, a comatose member of Hydra and a few guards with torches... and not a whole lot else to explain what's going on.

Well the real interesting part is going on a little deeper anyway.]

[MEANWHILE: standing at the back is boring. Approaching the door while Agito and Scowl talk to investigate it, pressing a hand against it and shoving a bit to see how stuck it is, but not actually trying to push it open]

[turns to step back over to the door and frowns]

Oi! First, what part of don't do shit without telling one of us did you not understand? Second, help me get that door open.

[was that a twitch? turns to looks at Scowl]

I'm not even—[just. just sighs and steps back, holding up his hands] Fine, whatever. What's your plan?

Re: Bottom of the Well

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

We just gotta push it open enough to get through. If we're careful we won't break it more than it is now.

[plants his shoulder against it to shove and test how stuck it is]

[It gives a little with a shudder, but not nearly far enough.]

Hmph. Who cares if it breaks? It's in the way.

[considers that, then the door, then shrugs and moves closer to the door again, putting his shoulder up against it to help with the shoving]

Re: Bottom of the Well

I care if it breaks.

[SHOVING!!]

Tch, doesn't matter anyway. It's not going to give unless h-

[The door shudders, then protests loudly as it swings inward. You can't make out anything beyond.]

OI!

Re: Bottom of the Well

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

Yes!

Re: Bottom of the Well

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

[moves to take a step through it, then pauses and turns back to Agito] Do you want to go first?

Re: Bottom of the Well

[topofthesky.insanejournal.com]

[just moves out of the way, so Agito can, if he wants to]

Re: Bottom of the Well

[be_my_chum.insanejournal.com]

[... That's twice not as expected. Was totally going to kick your asses...] Fuck! Of course I do.

[Disappears into the doorway.]

First Fork

[The door opens to a tunnel, mercifully dry. It is lit by the torches common to Sabra, and only a little ways in, you can see where they branch off in two directions and, just a few feet in, dip back down into shallow pools of water.

To the left, in the reflection of the water, you can make out the distinctive curve of Hydra's dorms, in the right, you can see the entrance to the Arena. The water seems still and clear.]

[relaxes a little with the more familiar scenery. Peers down both passageways before turning back towards the group]

We're going left.

Re: First Fork

[be_my_chum.insanejournal.com]

[Another long look, and then starts towards the right.]

Re: First Fork

—Agito?

Re: First Fork

[be_my_chum.insanejournal.com]

I'm looking on this side.

Mess anything up, I will find you fuckers.

Re: First Fork

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

You can't go that way! There's no way anything over there is gonna be good!

Re: First Fork

[be_my_chum.insanejournal.com]

You know something about this too?

Re: First Fork

[topofthesky.insanejournal.com]

[looks thoughtful]

It's the Arena. Do you think Akito's that way?

Re: First Fork

[be_my_chum.insanejournal.com]

If I was that sure I'd already be gone. Anyway, if it's not good, it's all the more reason for me to check. So it's either split up or take the time to double back.

Re: First Fork

[looks at Scowl]

I can check the dorm.
