Here, miss, I'll take it. I'll keep good watch over it.

(I say to Dinah. I then continue:)

We know about this because two of our other friends got wrapped up in this.

Oh dear...that's terrible... (Dinah says as she hands Marlon Benji's money purse.) That's three of your friends gone...I'm really sorry...

Don't worry Dinah. We will find a way to get them all out.

(I say this next while glancing to Marsha:)

Especially Benji.

Hang on tight! *Lilly starts digging, following Andy's lead...probably a number of minutes pass with a lot of dirt being "swam through", before Lilly asks* Whew, haven't had a workout like this in awhile! You sure somethin's down here?

The Onix eventually returns to its hideout, quickly dropping Benji off in a pool of water remarkably like the reservoirs for the city before digging off to deal with other business. However, as it nears the town it can sense Lilly digging down, and goes stationary.

What does this poor soul think they're doing? Better turn back fast, if they want to see the city again.


After finishing his breakfast, Koss thanks Doug and heads out towards the meeting with the police chief on his own. For a moment, he considers the possibility that he'd get kidnapped, before realizing that if he just floats on his tail the Onix won't have a way to sense him from underground. Not that that realization would have helped any of the others, though.

I need to update these things more often

*figuring Andy can't hear her because of all the dirt, Lilly digs a bit more...and eventually — pitch blackness. They emerge somewhere...Andy should be able to detect right away that Lilly is more or less properly upright, no more inclined or declined than maybe 20 degrees. It's so dark that even Lilly is struggling*

Hey...Jolty. Sorry, never really got yer name... *her accent's slipping, which indicates how nervous she is* ...can't barely see a thing, and that's rare fer a Diglett in an open space. Could ya light the way? *she then adds* If ya need to rub my fur to get the juices flowin', that's how ya do it, right? Learned it in school...

(Benji wakes up briefly as he is dropped (still in Lanturn form) into the reservoir. He realizes that he is in a lake that is...somewhere. His head hurts so much that he doesn't feel like trying to find a way out or even morphing into something else to try to escape. He simply passes back out again.)


(Delilah and I can't help but smile as Marsha and Marlon kiss again as we continue heading to the hall. Dinah also smiles slightly, but still looks very nervous as she adjusts her glasses and continues following us.)

There's Koss now.

Andy shrugged, spitting out dirt.

It's a theory.

A theory that Cabe can confirm or deny.

Hearing Lilly's addition, he rubs his front paws together, and a small light brews from his hands.

(I see Koss leaving Doug's place and give a quick wave to him.) Heya, Koss!

Friend of ours. (Marsha tells Dinah.) He's helpin' us find our kidnapped friends.

(Dinah nods. After all of this time, her mind is still racing over what may be happening to Benji (and by extent, everyone else) who might be kidnapped...her mind keeps going back to them being eaten...but she knows deep down that they probably aren't. The Goodra's right, no one around here is that barbaric...are they?)

So yeah, discussed with Cabe. I'll be sure to pace it properly.

*while the light may be dim by human standards, it's more than enough for a Diglett like Lilly to make use of. What's in front of the duo are a number of winding tunnels* Ya said ya felt somethin' earlier, right? W-w-which way should we go? *and now more classic signs of nervousness start to brew*

Andy tries to sense amounts of electricity in the area. Not sure if Cabe discussed that part with you, but I felt the need to bring it up.

Anythin' Jolty? Which way? *Lilly asks* I'll make a spoiler when we need to put on the brakes, so as long as you don't go "we arrive at the hideout" or something ludicrous, you're free to advance our little part of the story. ;p

Andy senses quite a bit of electricity down one tunnel. The one three holes to the left of the one you're facing now.

Got it! *her nerves calmed somewhat, Lilly starts heading down the route specified. The old tunnels wind all over the place — the product of dozens of burrows constructed hundreds of years ago, what's left is surprisingly stable. Anything not made to "code" (as far as burrows go) collapsed a long time ago, causing much fragmentation of the entire system — essentially unnavigable for those who can't dig*

*as they move along, Lilly states while keeping her voice down* Never been on an adventure before! My life's always been just studyin', hangin' out with friends, parties and ceremonies. How 'bout you? What brought you to Agartha, anyway?

*Lilly definitely went the right way, and in the time it takes Andy to answer, another intersection is reached...a right-down passage (sharp turn), a right-up (subtle turn), and the straight route*

I don't know. We just sorta appeared. All of us together. I don't even know where this place is, really. He redirects, You're gonna be going straight. He returns to the topic. I think it's an alright place, but I sort of have a dislike for staying in compressed cities like this and Hoard. They clog up the fresh air for me. You ever been out of town?

Appeared, huh? And yeah, I've been out a few times — always with the family, lots of guards 'n everythin'. We visited Hoard not but two years ago, and... *Lilly then manages to put two and two together, having clearly listening to her mother yesterday...not to mention having a faint image of him from Jani's memories* You said you appeared, and...oh yeah, you're one of them humans, aren't you! *that statement doesn't echo or anything, she's still keeping her voice down*

*during all of this, Andy should notice the feeling he's been having is getting stronger at a more rapid rate. They're definitely getting closer to something, but it'd still be pitch black without him. Another intersection, this one's a five-way which with your typical forward-left-right-back, but there's a fifth path leading very slightly downward to the ahead-right*

Andy nodded. Andrew Rosen's the name. I've been traveling with these guys for a little while. Most of them are alright people.

As more electricity approaches him, his bod begins to naturally salivate a little. He's not drooling or anything, but it's noticeable for Andy.

Uh... right.

Nice ta meet ya, Andrew! Lilith Ezri Terranport's the full name, but everyone calls me Lilly! *she says as she takes a right* Don't mind if I call you Andy, do ya? *interestingly, there seems to be a marked increase of debris as they go along the long rightward passage* And yeah, I kinda know about 'em from Jani. She.. *even Lilly realizes talking about the shared-memory experience would be offputting, so she lies* ...told me all about 'em last night! Yeah...and I call her Jani now...we came to an understandin'...

*Upon reaching the next + intersection, a very faint light can be seen going straight onward. More accurately, the straight route suddenly declines at about a 20 degree angle for about 100 feet before hocking another right (where the light's visible from), and the ceiling seems mildly unstable for the first 15 feet — it's as if the passage was revised in more recent years, destabilizing the ancient tunnel there once was*

I think we're getting somewhere! *Lilly whispers, as she starts following down the ramp*

Yeah, Andy's fine, if I can call you Lilly. I'm glad that you and Jani are able to get along without that whole assimilation thing making it awkward.

He smiles as they continue down. This is good. It looks as if my calculations were correct! Keep heading straight, and maybe we can finally find her!

*Lilly's expression sours at the mention of "assimilation", but she quickly gets over it, realizing that human or not...most outsiders don't get it* Aye-aye! *she then states, continuing down the ramp until reaching the corner*

*rounding the corner, the path is pretty straightforward. Winding a bit more and more* This is so cool! We're gonna be like heroes in a fairy tale! *Lilly still keeps her voice down, but Andy might be able to detect that she's mildly trembling. Minor natural light reflection and refraction from micro-crystals in the dirt as well as the increasing debris, the latter of which is mostly made up of the little metal and plastics bits that survived hundreds of years of human technology's natural decay. Eventually the scenery is visible enough for even Andy to see were he to turn off his own "light", even though they haven't yet passed a single bulb. They finally reach a properly lit chamber, and...To Be Continued*

Slamming the brakes, but if you want to have Andy react to before that point, by all means.
