    Darkness, thick and cloying such that it leaves no details to be seen. But something is pushing against these shadows. Lights shine, piercing through the gloom, as the Lost enter the scene. There is little to reflect the illumination, the dull poorly worked stone walls are mostly brown. The floor where it isn't the same is either packed down gravel or grey dirt. It isn't colorful at all.

    And in the opinion of Circe, this lack of reflection is still a good thing, no leaks to seal. Circe had worn jeans and a jacket with the word SECURITY written upon the back. A tool belt let her hide away a small pistol as a precaution, just as the old military helmet with a light on its side was a precaution. The Summer was quite glad to not be doing this solo. It'd be much harder to move the wheel barrel down stairs without help.

    The room up ahead should make a good "base" to leave things in case they needed them instead of hauling everything.

    Especially if the wheel barrel she was pushing got stuck further on. That'd make her feel silly. Circe looks over the shoulder, helmet light shining back, "Rooms right up ahead. Thanks fer getting this shit down here. Doing it solo, the spine tingles at the thought."

    On Circe


    Wheel barrel



    Cassandra , Liam, , and Seraphina: if anyone wishes to be carrying something marked as in the wheel barrel, Circe won't object.

    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.

    Treasured Nix

    The time had come, to explore some of the tunnels beneath Funderland. She was glad Circe had spearheaded this after the talk. The Nix felt safe with the Summer leading the charge.

    So, she dressed for digging around in dank tunnels. Old jeans, worn, with a few holes here and there, steel-toe work boots and a fitted black t-shirt over which was her Hedgespun jacket.

    Strapped to her right leg was the dagger Circe had gifted her, her long hair was braided, cascading down her back and sweeping the floor. In a backpack, she had some water, granola bars, band aides and gauze, just in case. She held a notebook, ready to mark things down as they find them, or sketch what was found. But either way, she came to get her hands dirty.

    "Well, thank you for leading the charge into this. I'm curious to see what we find and what we can use."

    Sera has her Hedgespun jacket, bottle of water, 4 granola bars, band aides, gauze, notebook and pencil, flashlight.

    Liam had always been a creature of the outdoors, even before Arcadia. Give him the open sky and pretty much any terrain was welcome. But here, in the darkness below Funderland, the Giant couldn't help but feel a sense of unease, as if the earth around him was a smokescreen for potential predators.

    Still, Ogres were nothing if not risk-seekers. And Liam was eager to prove himself a worthy helper regardless of how much dirt there was between him and the sky.

    The Giant had been quick to offer to push the wheelbarrow, and was now doing so with whatever contents weren't already being hauled by hand. He himself was dressed in his toughest pair of jeans, boots, and a sleeveless shirt, leaving his branch-like arms free for whatever they were needed for. Slung over his back is a hefty backpack loaded with various snacks and gear, a large-sized water canteen, an LED lantern, and a small assortment of Goblin Fruits in case of emergency.
    "How long have these tunnels been down here? Do you think there'll be ruins?"

    Liam has 2-3 Blushberries, backpack, first aid kit, lantern (electric), water canteen (full), 6 protein bars

    Cassandra arrives to the tunnel, wearing a pair of dark cargo pants, thin kevlar vest, and a black tank top, her hair tied up in a high bun.

    Strapped to her back is a backpack, inside some nutrition protein bars, bottled water, flashlight, her smaller first aid kit, a copy of the map of the local hedge, and a notepad with a couple of pencils.

    On the backpack is also a recurve bow and a quiver of arrows.

    The scarlet-haired Polychromatic walks up to Sera and Circe, "Hey, thanks for having me along." she says, waving, one of her arms holding a strap on the shoulder of her backpack, "Looking forward to seeing what we can find, especially gate wise. Rhodes let me copy down what we know of the local area, so if we find something, I can try to mark it."

    "Summer's thing!" Circe cheers in response to, probably, Cass and Sera. "I'm sure booze is the one thing we ain't gonna find," she jokes as she reaches a set of hewn stairs going down. She'd been tempted to josh Cassandra for bringing a bow underground, but wouldn't do so until AFTER they got to the first stop. Circe can take it very slowly or slightly faster if someone helps her. Either by taking things out of the barrel or helping her to pull on it as it inches down the stairs.


    At the foot of the stairs, the tunnel T's out. Circe stops to catch her breath after having pushed around 50 plus pounds of stuff.


    "So much easier with help," she sighs out. "Thanks. Good on Rhodes ta think ah that." Fight or no, the Summer was getting her exercise. Any future battle did cause a hint of worry in the back of her mind. Not for the fight, no the Summer would enjoy that. But Circe is smart. Battle meant danger, and danger meant the other monarchs would want parts of the tunnels sealed. And Circe had spearheaded this so they'd expect/give the responbility to her and concrete was heavy!


    Break time over at the bottom of the stairs, she hefts the wheel barrel back-up.


    There is a strong smell here. Old and musty with a tang of molasses, this smell comes from the right. This is the direction Circe takes with the wheel barrel. Gerrit's question gets a grunt from the elf. "Yay, history lesson!" The cheer is cut off with a grunt of moving the wheel barrel further down the right passageway. "Around prohibition, as ya can tell from the smell, smuggled in booze and ingredients. But," shimmying it through an archway, Circe lets it go to clank on the stone floor of a large open space. "As ya can see, those smugglers didn't build ta last. Cost cutting measures I guess," she points to the source of the smell.


    Namely a set of kegs lining the back of the room the as some point rotted to collapse but have since dried out. Circe knows they aren't intact. To the left of the barrels is a door that is shut tight. Or perhaps rotten and set into the frame. This is as far as the Summer Queen flew solo. "On the plus side though Gerrit, that means any traps for the Feds have probably long since fallen apart. So," she waves her hands around the room, "This is base camp. I'm gonna leave the heavy shit," she points at the barrel full of tools and supplies, "Here until we find where ta use them," Circe smiles as her left hand rises up to tap the side of her skull with her ring finger, "Work smarter then harder."

    Treasured Nix

    Thing with giants? They’re hard to miss.

    So a smile was offered to Liam, “Hey Liam. And I’m not completely sure, not sure if anyone has actually looked into it?” a questioning look to Circe.

    For Cassandra? It was easy to pick up on her from her charismatic presence and her glowing skin.
    A smile was offered to her as well, “Marking what we find will be very useful, good thinking.” Even though she had her own notebook. More than one was important.

    The Nix will help Circe with the wheelbarrow. Carefully helping her down the stairs while taking some of the weight on herself.

    A nod then, “Seems someone has been doing their homework.” She lightly teases, “But it’s good to know.” Pausing to take in the room…and the smell. Eww. “Do we have a plan of attack? I know we had talked about scouting the tunnels to see if we could use them for the Freehold. Either for a safe hold, or even for an extension of the Freehold.” Least that was her idea.

    Reaching into her bag, she pulls out an elastic and her flashlight, testing to make sure it worked. Seeing in the dark was not a skill she had. Taking the elastic, she begins to wrap her long braid into a bun on her head. Don’t want to get that caught on something.

    Caught between wanting to correct the Larcenist and not wanting to rile her up, Liam haphazardly wanders into the room and narrowly misses clocking Cassandra with his arms. "Yikes! Sorry about that. I don't think we've met officially; I'm Liam."

    Sera and Circe greet her and, of course, it is easy to be distracted by Sera, particularly when she talks. She hates it. Alien beauty, though she feels much the same about herself - rainbow hues that glimmer and glow. If she were happier, she could possibly dimly light up the room. It will always bother her. It makes her wonder if Sera was modeled after her Keeper like she was. Though, her impressions on that are few and far between, but she knows... she doesn't want to think about it.

    Cassandra stays in a good middle in the tunnel. She'd help with the wheelbarrow, but it doesn't need to be manned by more than two people, so she carefully walks along behind. She is surprised when Circe mentions Gerrit's name and she has to blink and look around, "I didn't know Ger-" She pauses. Oh, she just messed up the name. That's... uh...

    She's almost knocked by the Ogre and it makes her jump a little bit in her spot, ready to move. It gives her mind that vision again... running, running. Need to run. It's going to- Pushing the thoughts of the nightmares away, she gives a warm smile to the... super tall Spring Ogre. Cassandra is only 5'3" and Liam is 7' tall. Dear god does she feel short. She has to look up high just to look at his face, "Nice to meet you, Liam. I'm Cassandra." She'll never mistake him for Gerrit, given Gerrit is one of her two best friends.

    The Fairest then starts looking around closer at the room, looking for anything particular out of place.

    "Internet," is her reply to the teasing. As for tactics, Circe laughs between heavy breaths, "Attack IS a plan. But in this case scouting is the plan," she points to the hardware store of stuff, "THAT is in case we find something that needs a patch or stuff. We are gonna search and find out IF this place is useful, a threat, or a trash heap," she puts her hands on her hips, "Cause ya can't do shit with something ya don't know shit about, so we're gonna fix that! shit. After a moment she adds, "And ta make sure no creeps crawl up inta the kiddie park too, or something like that fer official blah blah blah crap." She looks to Seraphina as if asking her if she has a better idea for the last part.


    "Right Liam," she assure him of the ruin status, "I doubt we'll find a decked out speak easy that withstood the test of time," then points finger guns at the group, "But if we do, I call dibs on any tommy guns."


    Circe smiles when Cassandra almost gets Liam's name wrong. Okay, fun done she hides the smile. "Yup, Ms Reading, Mr Gelt. Mr Gelt, Ms Reading," Circe is starting to breath normally again as she points to herself, "And I'm the asshole, oh ho ho ho!"


    "Ahem. Our first problem," she turns away from the group but waves her arms, palms up, towards the door, "Is that. Pretty sure a kick won't cut it. Anybody calling dibs on hammer time?"


    Narration: Neither Liam nor Cassandra find aught of note hidden. Whilst looking under the barrels Seraphina discovers something about these dried, rotten kegs. There is the fungus you often find on fallen branches in the forest growing on the bottom. It is currently growing off of the rotten flesh and the bones of what was probably a rat based on size.


    ooc: Thank you Shennanigans for providing Circe with you name to out my typo. Also, I'd thought to use player account for narration points, but first PrP and I didn't think to post with that account first instead of Circe. So, "narration:" will be for if you are seeing something that Circe isn't involved in but I have to post with Circe account. The door is size 5, durability 1, and wood warped stuck in the frame. Using Strength to knock it open has a -1 penalty.
