63. The Tunnel

[voiced]

I am really getting sick of this feeling down here.

Anyway. We're heading the opposite direction of Yuri's group. There are doors here, too, lots of them. A bunch are rusted shut, so I guess it must've been wet down here at some point. Couldn't tell you what the walls and stuff are made of, either, even with a lantern. But I think it's weird that this place caved in under us. The rest of it seems sturdy enough, so hopefully it doesn't happen again down here.

Lloyd got one door unlocked and he's working on another one, so we're gonna go in and look around. Gimme a minute and then one of us will be able to tell what's in there.

Hey, Albert. When you read this, I have a thought.

[The Keyblade disappears from his hands as he walks past Raine.]

I can't believe we missed them again. [He curiously picks up one of the discarded folders. As he lifts it up, a single paper comes loose, but he catches it before it falls:] Genis Sage... isn't that the same as your last name?

If they were even here this time...

[She started to lift up a folder to examine one herself, though it slips from her fingers for a moment at Sora's next words]

What? ... May I see that, please?

[He holds it out for her to take.] Yeah. I have no idea what it says.

[Raine reaches over to take it from him, slowly, and studies it for a few moments, seemingly lost in thought, before shaking her head]

Hmm... it seems to be in code, but nothing I can recognize. [She tucks the page in with her notes, and glances around] Though that can wait until we finish searching the room.

[It's time for more investigating. /o/;] I wonder what they used this for...

It seems almost as if it's an examining room... and entirely too convenient. [She starts looking around the room, glancing around for other files, trying to hold the light so it'll be easier for both of them to see.] ... hmm.

[His hands balled into fists...] Like when they kidnapped people?

It's a possibility that we can't discount yet. Even if it feels too convenient.

[She picks up another pile of papers from the floor, looking through them intently]

[He doesn't know how to decode those files, so he ~~bravely~~ stupidly ventures forward and bumps into something solid.] What...?

[She blinks, and looks up over at him] Are you all right? Be careful, nothing works down here of the magic variety.

Hyt won't come when I call. [She probably regrets letting him tag along. ): The light is too faint for him to see, but the object feels cold to touch and its edges are rounded.] I... don't want to know what this is.

I don't think the spirits can reach here, and it is probably a strain on them, considering the situation. [She steps closer to him anyway, bringing the lantern]

Hm... it seems to be a sink, actually.

I don't blame them for not coming. [He backs away from the sink, feeling a little awkward that he thought it was something worse.] I guess good hygiene was important.

[She shrugs a little at that.] It doesn't seem out of the ordinary. Do you want to go back into the hall?

Yeah. [He can't help but feel adventurous. ;;] We don't know what's waiting for us.

No, we don't. Everything seems deserted now, but that doesn't mean it still will be, once we've gone farther.

[The Keyblade materializes into his hands again.] I'm here to protect you if it comes to that.

That's kind of you. Thank you, Sora.

Can I have less homework?

[T-that is, if classes have started by now. ;;]

... What.

[I-I don't even know ;; its probably like. Open to those who actually remembered, and others will get a reminder once this mess is finished with.]

I'll be sure to copy the notes from Kairi.

We can talk more about that later.
