sorry. he does actually lose it laughing this time. help him. simon-llama. llmon. hehehehehehe. to be fair this is the kind of laughter one does when they are slightly hysterical and nervous but also listen the idea of them finding a llama and not knowing what's going on is just outright funny. ]
I was kind of convinced already, but now that I know yeah obviously? You had me at "llama." [ lmfaooooo. but it's okay. the entrance of the tunnels means he stops and peers in. ]
You've got your phone, right? We should probably use our flashlights to make sure we know where we're going.
Oh, so I could have simply said, "Take a look at my strategic and well-thought-out plan of 'llama.' " and left it at that. [ jonas is so funny... they peek in, before nodding. ]
I always do. [ which they will take it out and use, give us light! ] Might be worth making little marks on the walls as we go along, just to remember our way back.
It could potentially throw them into a loop. [ everyone could have fell into Llama hell. ] Something like gouging, yes. Or maybe...
[ they raise their free hand to lightly glide over the rocky wall before it sparks brightly with electricity. it fades away after a moment, and when it does it seems to have left behind a little scorch mark. ] Like this?
This should be simple enough so I don't go exhausting myself too quickly.
Oh. I didn't even think of that. I know we practiced yesterday but I haven't activated it this week yet. Good call. [ it means he's comfortable beginning to venture forward. ]
It'll probably be good if you hold off on activating until needed, and ideally with other people than the team. [ better to be safe than sorry. :pensive: ]
Let's see what we have to work with. [ they continue after him with their own phone light, with the occasional scorch on the wall when there's a good distance between them. so far so good! ] ...Everything really does end up being so new to me. Getting to explore new areas... it's a lot of fun, admittedly.
If anything, I'm not going to activate it until Saturday so it's less stuff pointing to us. I can get by with Drift just fine. We've practiced enough.
[ downward they go... ]
This kind of stuff both is and isn't new to us. Like places like this exist in our world, but I've never really gotten to explore much myself. And Alex is always so gung-ho about it that sometimes it's hard to really look at everything because she's on the move. [ this is still said with fondness, but jeez. ]
All the weeks we've had until now really prepared us to rely only on Drift.
[ down down... another lil marky, which they emit a small breath at. ]
...Ah, is that so? Suppose I can't really blame her. I just think... after the ship, it's interesting to take a moment and look at everything. I feel like now is the only time I'm able to just... pause.
[ which, for a moment, they do. even if it isn't much they're staring at, just peering at the tunnels around them. ]
And us relying only on Drift makes it easier for them to forget we have electro now, I hope. [ but hm. he's taking the lead, but not by much. they're going to hit the catacombs eventually at this rate. ]
No, I get it. That's how I feel, too, sometimes after everything. But you know her. She's always needing something to do and to keep her hands busy. It's different than people like us who want to take a breather every now and then.
I feel like to the point even the rest of you may forget yourself. [ a light teasing. some more markies now and then... as they get closer to the catacombs, but my rolls are progressively getting worse so they are faltering a bit at some exhaustion. oops! ]
Mm, I do know her. It's a nice balance with us now and then, hehe. I do understand the need to keep busy but it's definitely more work related with me. [ a little amused. ]
[ he sees the faltering and takes their free hand to stop them. noooo more. ]
You work way too much, first of all. Even now you're kind of in work mode aren't you? But you're right, I keep forgetting we have access to a second psych now.
[ aw heck. they gently squeeze his hand, offering a small smile. sorry, pushed themselves a bit too much huh. ] Still trying to get the hang of it.
Hehe... I try not to be in work mode when people are clearly taking me out to have fun and take a break but. Habit and all. [ sheepish look. ] After a month of having only one, it only makes sense we'd forget.
No, I get it. [ to all of that. ] Even if this is partially work though since we're scouting, the exploring part counts as fun. So I'll let it slide just a little bit this time. [ onward they go. ]
Right, it's understandable. If anyone questions us too much, they're going to have to deal with us not really knowing what to say right away. You can't just expect us to remember immediately.

okay, well, honestly it's so hard when he goes and laughs! like they are really, really trying hard not to laugh here and it shows on their face. ]

Okay. Yeah. We are definitely incorporating it.

[ they're laughing a little. his own too infectious. could have llama body... but they have arrived to the entrance of the tunnels now. spooky. ]

You mean like gouging the wall? That's not a bad idea if we have something sharp enough.
