    Ingrid

    PRE

    Ingrid has opened the secret passageway up again.

    The stairwell from the administration building is narrow and steep. Their first obstacle are ragged cobwebs that flap in tatters from the walls and ceiling. The darkness is deep and shadowless, distorting sound and space with its etheric solidity.

    At the bottom, the stairwell takes a sharp turn and opens into a wider corridor that runs west-east. The torch light picks out the curious walls, a mix of rough hewn stone and grey brick, curved overhead. A track runs along the floor, rusted but still solid and, if initial observation holds true, probably still usable.

    To the west there are faint watery sounds.

    At the fringes of their light, the corridor gains arches but its too gloomy to tell if they are passages or just supports for the roof.

    The ceiling has a line of naked cables and dead bulbs, crusted in dirt. To the west, this cable becomes snarled with parasitic new growth, vanishing into the darkness. To the east, the tunnel continues on into unremitting darkness.

    Dust hangs in the stagnant, still air.

    @Travisc06489 Origins Saber Sloth Orianna I've kick started this plot again.

    To ease things along I've assumed that news of the previous exploration has leaked out, so the Freehold 'knows' that there are definitely tunnels and a Hedge Gate down there.

    Remember to list your character's equipment in your first post. Bring torches - its dark down there!

    A blue hand grips a large metal rod to swipe away the bothersome cobwebs, a matching hand wielding a flashlight. Not the normal use for a crowbar but Circe rather it was there then in her face or on the flashlight. Circe was relatively well dressed for a sewer adventure. A open denim jacket left her unadorned black shirt on display while the khaki cargo pants were tucked into a pair of rubbery knee high boots.


    Said pants were secured by a hefty utility vest the elf had borrowed from Funderland's maintenance department. It let her carry a few extra things more easily. Like the large loop that she returned the crowbar to after finishing off the cobweb. The Summer Queen wrinkled her nose, "Ugh, dusty down here."


    The flashlight aims West. It aims East. It aims at Ingrid, "So? Which way do we go?"


    Adventuring kit includes the Colt 45, 1 extra clip and 20 spare rounds. 2 flashlights, knife, multitool, crowbar, tool belt, cell phone, and a Gatorade bottle.

    Quick is crowned with an ostentatious arc of hair that resembles a jagged bolt of lightning. He is very lithe and slightly taller than his Mask appears. His skin is a very pale shade of teal, and is covered in tiny filaments like cracks which glow an orange-red. The tips of his fingers and toes come to points, and his shoulders have hard, jagged projections growing from them.

    Another blue hand grips a similar flashlight. Quick knows what will happen once they step through that Gate... and isn't about to waste the effort of hiding his face behind a Mask. Not to say the whole experience doesn't make him feel uncomfortable, though. The only saving grace is the presence of a fast friend who'd take some of the tension out all this adventuring business.

    Venturing in without a Mask in place is one thing, but Quick can only imagine how dark, cold and clammy the tunnel would likely be closer to the gate. So he dresses in an insulated puffy vest over a sweatshirt. And some jeans made from that fake denim material that's super stretchy. He'd need to be able to move freely if they have to do any climbing. Which would still suck. And get him dirty. A few blinks. "Circe, wait up!" he calls down after her.

    "Gate's over that way. Follow the vines." Quick can still remember the gnarled mess of vines on the other side of the Gate. "Let Ingrid handle things back here." he says with a smile. Which seems pointless if Circe can't see him do it.

    Quick is carrying his cell phone, a flashlight, a bottle of water and some rope.

    Fashion was set on the back burner. Or nearly so. Boots with grip and only a slight heel, the sort that all boots had, dark durable jeans, war fans holstered at her hip, t-shirt with a skeletal cat printed on it, though the design was nearly hidden by the leather jacket she chose and the leaden stole that was her Mantel. Her tgeoat bore her chokers, and a small, but filled backpack rested on her back.

    Quickly she makes her way to the Sumner Queen and the Lightning Strike of Winter. Mhairi smiles when she sees his face, a comfort now that they were the only two touch by the primal side of...of Over There.

    Mhairi opens her mouth to greet the others only to inhale and start sneezing. "Excuse me." murmured reflexively as she waves to the others fell flames following the vines. "I think Seraphina wanted to be here for this. Don't wanna go to far if she's still coming."

    Softly shimmering gold flakes catch the light whenever she moves, delicate gilded and diamond scales extenuate the luminescent sapphires that are her eyes. The ocean lives in Sera's eyes, perfectly cut sapphires, gleam in the light. Deeper shades always shifting like the tide. The scales trail up to her temples and forehead. Her hair reaches down her back, brushing the back of her calves, spun silver and gold. Perfectly placed streaks of sea green are seen throughout her hair. Very fine diamond dust falls loose from her hair when she moves, reflecting rainbows from the light. The scales on her hands are dulled by the simple fact that her hands are translucent. There was an iridescent scale like skin that pulled delicately up from her ears. The membrane shimmered and created three curly points.

    Cherry blossoms gilded in gold bloom from her hair, tumbling down as a warm rejuvenating spring breeze gently kisses the air with the scent of freshly cut grass. The sound of birds singing can be heard as the wildflowers grow and bloom in vibrant colors where she walks, swaying and lively in the breeze.

    Treasured Nix

    This was for the Freehold. She kept muttering that phrase over and over again as she made her way into the tunnels.

    Which were gross and filled with things she didn’t want to touch. And yeah, just all around grossness. That was a word, really, it was. And if it wasn’t, well it was now.

    Her long hair had been tied in a fishtail braid hanging off to the side. She wore the oldest jeans she could find, figuring she would be burning them when they were done. A long-sleeved white fitted shirt was under her hedgespun jacket. Which probably looked too delicate to be worn on such a journey, but little did anyone know of the spider silk that made it very durable. Her hedgespun necklace laid outside the shirt, shimmering in different colors with the light. Thick motorcycle type boots were on her feet.

    Over her shoulder was a messenger bag with a few items. Mainly her cell, some water and a few protean bars. A pair of jeans and tank top were tucked in as well.

    Walking up to the group, flashlight in hand, “I’m here.” She mutters. Clearly she was out of her element.

    The group slowly assembles with Ingrid returning to keep watch on Funderland - there would be too many questions if a late night worker found the storage space with its floor removed and a tunnel entrance exposed for all to see.

    Circe leads the way, following directions from Quick who follows close behind. The Summer Queen's feet pound on the uneven floor, sending up sublimating clouds from the dusty patina that clung to rock, tile, and long dead track. The path was easy to follow - vines clung tenaciously to the ceiling and led back to their source down a side tunnel, where the spread down the south wall.

    Fresh mud spilled from the side tunnel that opened in the south wall. It had dried to a thick crust on top, but once it was broken, it was still pliable, soft and damp underneath. The mud stank terrible: of dust, mortar, vegetation and sewage.

    As before the side tunnel ended in mucky plug rent by a deep fissure. The vines appeared to emanate from there. Quick can tell the fissure has moved ever so slightly. The Gate has been open quite recently, that is for certain.

    Circe's flashlight shines everywhere, but she does at least look up at the ceiling to spot the vines, "Vines. Got it, thanks Jimmy," and takes the lead by virtue of being the first one in. That and she'd have yelled at anyone getting in front of her for ruining her firing line.


    "Ugh," Circe wasn't loving the smell, "okay, right now? I'm glad I didn't get super smelling powers outta Wonderland."


    Circe scans the area of the fissure with her light, bathing it quite easily. "Huh, so that's it guys?" Circe ponders a thought. Circe had earlier talked about sealing tunnels off but wasn't sure how to do it here. And she'd another question, "Soooo? Ya guys wanna plan somethin' or just walk in?"

    Quick nearly starts when he hears a sneeze, but somewhere his brain connects that it had been Mhairi, and that she said something about waiting for Sera. "Alright." he calls back, slowing his pace a little and occasionally glancing backwards.

    When Sera does join them, Quick shines the flashlight up at his own face and smiles - though it doesn't look like she's happy to be in here. He can't blame her. It's filthy.

    The Elemental snorts at Circe's comment, but soon regrets it. The sharp inhale assaults his senses anew. When they finally reach the fissure, he gives a quick glance around and does a head count. Satisfied, he turns his attention back to Circe. "Slow up... I remember what's in there. Vines get worse. Like they're alive or something." He blinks in the darkness. That probably sounded really clever. Idiot. "You know what I mean... like they can move around on their own. Might want to let me go first. If they, you know, get frisky or whatever. I'll burn them out." He'd been close to doing that before. And this time more of his friends are here.

    "Sera, hey." a soft greeting so her voice dosen't ring and echo.

    A smirk, "If you're talking about burning things out, I might as well go first. Lighting myself on fire is a...specialty if mine." fell-flames flicker, motes if fire wick away and sputter the farther they get. "But, if I do I need more info about what's in the other side besides friendly or murderous vines."
