o n e . ( TEXT ) . we are not frightened any more

[dedikated]

There's not a cave in this hell that actually goes anywhere, is there? All just one big loop leading back to this dump.

First person to prove me wrong gets a million bucks.

I suspect that even if that weren't the case, some god or other would have arranged an appropriate misdirection.

[circumitus]

a million bucks is pretty useless down here, all things considered.

and no, would not gamble that the tunnels lead to anywhere nice.

All just one big loop, and they're full of hazards. It's as if the gods would be happier if we stayed here.

[themightykamina]

Hey, I'm workin' on it, okay? The caves are a maze, sure, but I haven't hit the end of 'em yet!

And even if I do, there's ways of getting through solid rock. Just you wait!

God? [ Guess who hasn't paid attention to anything relating to Hadriel? This bitch. ] ... Don't wanna know, but you're probably right.

I was fuckin' busy, dammit.

[dedikated]

I don't have it anyway. [ Which was kind of the point of the bet, in her mind. ] & they don't. [ They lead here and here sucks. ]

[dedikated]

Oh goodie.

Can't say I ever cared much for what a higher power would like though. [ Now bitch you know you lying. You always toed the line. ]

[dedikated]

You happen to have a very powerful drill on hand, then? [ You know, she's not even sure if she's being snarky here. ]

[themightykamina]

Well, technically my bro's the one with the drill...but that doesn't mean anything! We've gotta have something that'll blow up good!

['Completely literal' may as well be Kamina's middle name.]

[dedikated]

[ It's a shame 'blink blink' doesn't work in text. ]

Like what, exactly?

[wormintheglass]

[Bianca laughs.]

When you were dragged here? Or busy exploring the tunnels?

Yes. Gods. Or so they say. I believe they're farming us.

[dedikated]

The first'n.

Their taste in livestock is shit. [ If that's the case. ]

[faithfulwolf]

This isn't Hell, or like it at all.

But it's only possible to get out of Hell with permission so maybe it's like that here too.

[themightykamina]

[Hey, honestly? It probably wouldn't work in person, either. He's special like that.]

...there's bats now, batshit is really flammable. gotta be some way to make it explode. I mean, it's not exactly my specialty, but how hard is it to make stuff blow up?

[dedikated]

Dunno. Can't say I did a lot of it in my time. [ although... Why hasn't she tbh. ]

text;

[dedikated]

It's close enough.

Eh? Just talk to the gods and hope they say yes? Gonna guess they don't like saying that.

[text]

[synthedick]

I'd care more if I was sure they were gods.

[circumitus]

so how long did it take for you to figure out the loop?

text;

[faithfulwolf]

Not really.

Yes. They get strength from us being here so it's unlikely.

[dedikated]

Too long. [ By which she means she's spent every day since she got here trying each possible one. ]

You know what date it is, by the by?

[text]

[dedikated]

If they're calling themselves that, does it matter? They think they are.

[dedikated]

Well shit, bruv. Then we're fucked.

[faithfulwolf]

What?

[circumitus]

you mean here?
not really.
back home it was october something 2153. wasn't keeping track of the day.
doubt that's going to be the same case here. people seem to be from all over the place.

[themightykamina]

Me neither, but...hey, never any time like the present, right?
