003 [Video]

[For those familiar with Clinic, it can be recognized to be the backdrop for this broadcast; it's also probably easy enough to guess that Lance has just arrived there, because he's obviously drenched. It doesn't seem to bother him any, though, except for that his slightly ridiculous hair is now definitely long enough to fall into his eyes when wet, so he has to shove some of it out of the way before he can actually see the screen.

Despite being soaked he looks a little more vibrant and relaxed than usual, although in contrast his tone is quiet and sedate for the most part.]

Is the 'raining underground' thing strange even for here, or...?

[Because he hasn't been here that long and he's heard that it's snowed before, so maybe not? But the rain is totally not the point of this post, so he continues.]

But rain aside, I'd actually wanted to ask about the caves that branch off from the main cavern. I know they're supposedly difficult to navigate and filled with monsters, but have there been any coordinated efforts to explore them? And what sort of monsters exist in them?

[He does remember Maketh telling them there are paper records on some of the monsters at the Guard post, but as far as he's concerned that's really not too helpful. Besides, he'd rather hear that the general populace has to say, and talk to them individually on this.]

No.

[Srsly. No. Have you run out of all other ways to try and get yourself killed, Lance?]

Rained underground all the time, back where I came from.

[Hope you don't mind skeletons. Sans, for what little it matters, seems fairly unperturbed about his generally fleshless state of being, as long as you don't think too hard on how it is he's able to talk without breaking his smile.]

I'm in the caves all the time. [Which is why Gil's also at the clinic a lot.] All sorts of monsters exist in there. Mostly really weird ones. And one that I swear I saw once in a video game.

As far as exploring, I dunno if anyone's done a group thing but I haven't made any headway getting around in there. It's different every time I go in. and I can't even predict how long it'll take for me to get out. But I'm fine with that. I like the adventure.

there were attempts a long time ago

nothing came of it. i think they found some stuff but it was all just garbage. caves changed again and they lost all their progress and i guess gave up until they went home.

A hazardous place to explore. What prompted this interest?

It's never rained here before.

[But, all things considered, he's not sure if that makes it any more strange than normal.]

I think some people tried to explore the caves, but I'm not sure any of them are still here.

No rain, as others have said. But we've had snow. Also that one time where Tranquility thought it'd be "cute" to convert the whole city into a fake beachside resort.

[Rey didn't find it very cute, though. Or fun in any way, because she doesn't know how to beachplay.]

As for the caves -- some of us have gone through them. They likely changed with every god resurrection, due to the fact that we'd been skipping planets with each one.

Monsters there are ones that have accumulated over time when a new type appears through the Door with more people. Hope just herds them away from the city do they don't bother us or some shit like that.

[Will was actually in the clinic, messaging Lance because he was using him as a test to see how safe using a cellphone here. He knows Lance understands. So he'll see him with a towel, drying off his hair, which is significantly less ridiculous looking than Lance's.]

I'm sorry, what was that you said? You've gone nuts? You want to explore the tunnels filled with monsters? If those tunnels are anything like Daedalus' labyrinth I can say the answer is 'no' you don't want to do that.

[ Curufin is on patrol, out near the orchard, at the moment. His braided hair is streaming down onto his shoulders and his face is beaded with water. But he doesn't look unhappy about this. ]

I was beginning to wonder if this place had weather.

But Lance, don't go exploring the tunnels by yourself! It is true that they are full of monsters. You want a list? I go there periodically to mine coal for the forge, but I go armed to the teeth.
