-perks up- I'm glad you asked! Y'see, I have it on good authority that this door leads to underground ruins deep below this building - I figure there's treasure, monsters, adventure, et cetera! So I am organizing an expedition down below... to see what's what!

Main Room (Rune Aichi)

-Factories... an establishment for traders carrying on business in a foreign country*?-

"...I-I don't understand... Wouldn't people be there...?"

*Apparently this is a historical definition for it... which would make sense considering his universe is kind of eclectic. As far as I can tell no one in the series has ever mentioned a factory of any kind, but I'd argue the Sechs Empire probably has some along with its other advanced tech. It's just that it's secluded and has been trying to conquer other places (so no one's really been able to get any of the tech).

Oh, sounds interesting. I have many more spells; they might be of use to you if I came along.

Lina seemed content now. Not uncomfortable or anything, even; just calm.

finally trying text colors. woo.

-Yeah! She'd be great help if she came along!-

"That'd be great!"

-...Wait, she should probably introduce herself to Lina.-

"I'm Frey. What's your name?"

I actually didn't use the text colors at first because I didn't know how to. I ended up getting help about it.

Lima...?? [grin]

Though nervous about the expedition's entailments, she was excited.

Thank you! What are your guys' names, by the way?

... oops. ignore that last bit.

Now! Cool expedition party... let us be off without further delay et cetera and so on and suchness!

-swings open the door, peering down at a very narrow stone spiral staircase-

Ahaha! I will lead the way.

-starts down the stairs-

-Frey's sort of awkward smile comes back.-

-She's certain she heard 'Lina'... not 'Lima'.-

"Nice to meet all of you!"

-Oh, right... Time to get going!-

"I wonder what's down here...?"

-She follows after Graves, preparing to get any equipment out of her bag she might need in the event something happens.-

(Dear Dez is just goin' on down with the shirt on her back, the goggles on her head and the foolishness in her heart.)

Whoo-hoo-hooooo, this is unreal... Echo...! Echooo...!

(Hollering down the hall to make The Echoes... what a dweeb.)

Lina floated gently behind the group. She turned to a blank section in the back of her notebook and scribbled in it.

9/2X/XX
Began an expedition with some interesting people today. Hope it goes well. Wish me luck...

-down, down, down, down...-

-they're seriously going down for quite some time-

-minutes pass until Graves breaks the silence-

Geez! How deep is this place...?

Going Down the Stairs (Frey)

-Frey can't help but wonder if doing the 'echo' thing is a good idea... Especially since there might be monsters down here...-

"I, um... don't think that's such a good idea."

-As for how deep down it goes...-

"I don't know. It shouldn't take too long though."

-...She hopes.-

Ohhh, I'd say like... 'couple furlongs at least. Think there's any bats in here?

-finally, the staircase seems to reach the bottom-

-the corridor opens out into what looks like a wide cavern-

-no, 'cavern' is a misnomer, since every inch of this place had its stone smoothed and images engraved upon it-

-there are buildings hewn out of this dark gray stone down here, still lit up with eerie-glowing dim purple lights emanating from scones on the walls of the buildings-

-it certainly seems abandoned... there's no sign of life down here, it is eerily quiet-

Cavern (Frey)

-Frey looks around a little, and is intrigued. It's not like the caves back home...-

-She decides to take a look at the engraved images.-

"Someone made these... I wonder who...?"

...I'unno, if you mounted some chandeliers up there and ran some sorta air treatment down, it could make a pretty good casino!

(Inspects the engravings as well, eyeing them curiously with those big, glowy peepers of hers.)

Lina flies around, scribbling random figures into the back of her spellbook. They seemed interesting enough to research later.

Curious. They seem to have sone correlation to each other, but... what's the connection?

Is it obvious Lina loves new knowledge?

no sweat!

-these engravings are evidently of high-quality craftsmanship-

-they seem to tell a history, about a civilization of long-bearded men in what seems to be a desert city-state-

-further on, engravings show what appears to be a great cataclysm or upheaval, before finally these people appear in what looks to be a pastoral, idyllic forest, which only has a single building, some kind of house or inn-

-you get the impression that this'd be easier if any of you could read the snaking writing carved into the stone-

-the engravings get progressively destroyed further-on, but it seems like they end when the civilization decides to dig themselves deep below the earth and seal themselves up-

-and build this city here, the final image being a picture of this underground cavern town-

-Graves has disregarded this long storied history entirely and is running off deeper into town-

Cavern (Frey)

-So the people decided to move down here for some reason...?-

-How stran— Hey, Graves went off without them!-

"W-Wait for us!"

-Frey rushes after Graves. After all, it's dangerous to go alone...-

(Lets out a long whistle, nodding to the engravings.)

Pretty slick... Guess that's kinda the history of— hey, wait up...!

(Hustles to catch up to Graves and Frey.)

-Graves' voice comes from up ahead-

Ahaha wait wait stop I think I... found something?

-she's standing in the middle of a magic circle glowing purple in the middle of what looks like a plaza-

-which is lined with very tall, stern-looking stone statues-
