Wren: Well, that's the photo. Might as well get to climbing these stair- -looks down- ...U-U-Uh...we're how high up...?
-At the bottom of the stairs appears to be another shrine like the one in the forest, made entirely out of chiseled ice, along with the torch-holders. It looks like it's in very good condition, with doors shut, probably leading further inside.-
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.Joshua: Right, right. -nods, taking a step back as the doors gradually melt to reveal stairs inside leading up.- ...Hm.
Wren: H-Huh...already? -blinks in surprise-
Sorry about the delays...not feeling too good right now, but I'll try to soldier on...
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.Joshua: Well, if we knew where they were, it wouldn't be much of a surprise, would it...? And, yes...you have to wonder who made this...
Wren: I am awake...just...a little sluggish, I suppose.
-The stairs leading up almost instantly comes to another two doors which look like they've fallen off their hinges to reveal the room behind, a simple room with walls made of light blue ice, with what seems to be old tattered banners hanging from icicles used as racks and chairs, some of which lay on the floor, broken into pieces.-

Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.Joshua: It's pretty unlikely something this...sophisticated could've been made on it's own. And who knows?
-The banners seem to have the emblem of a what appears to be an ice crystal, yet the middle of the emblems and the banners themselves seemed to have been fade out and beginning to fray. As for ways forward, hiding behind the pieces of cloth lay two doorways.-
Wren: I suppose so...!
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.Tyson: -shrugs and drops the banner- Some older civilizations must have lived here long before the school was made? Something must have happened to them, though. Maybe feuding led to wars and eventually extinction?
-Tyson tries to open one of the doors conventionally-
mario is red, i am green, i try my best, but everyone's meanJoshua: Who knows. Considering this is the second shrine we've come across...it's very likely.
Wren: ...You okay there...?
-Behind the banners...well, the banners were practically the doors, with the two somewhat illuminated paths open.-
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.

Wren: Well, may as well take a photo of it, then? -the sunlight gently shines down, causing the light to reflect off the stairs to make it look like a sea-blue crystal staircase leading towards whatever mysteries lay below-
Joshua: -follows, the stairs coiling around for about five minutes of walking just to get to the bottom.-
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.
