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.

Zelos... [Raine is going to :[ at you when she sees that red on the pink]

We have to see if there are more files.

[corrinesbell]

Yeah. It doesn't look like there are any more here...

[starts to head across the room and runs right into something else solid] Ow! What the-- [brings the lantern down] ...A sink?

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

...It sure looks like a sink. Why the hell would they have a sink down here?

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

To clean things?

[wait, that lead to thinking what kind of things might need to be cleaned]

[corrinesbell]

...This room gives me the creeps, and I really don't think I want to let myself know why.

[heads for the opposite corner, shuddering]

Anybody else getting a human ranch vibe here?

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[corrinesbell]

...It's...it's kinda the same, isn't it? I mean...the whole situation. We're trapped and tortured, and...wearing something we can't take off without dying.

Ugh, if I ever get my hands on one of those Malnosso, I'll stab 'em to pieces.

[For dramatic effect, Zelos cracks his knuckles. Except that wasn't a good idea, now was it?]

...Ow.

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

...You should probably go show that to Professor Sage.

[corrinesbell]

Yeah. At least let her look at it. You don't wanna let it get worse.

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

It's fine. We got important stuff to do down here, right?

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

Then let's keep going. Looks like there isn't much else in this room.

[corrinesbell]

[that's a slap. Though there's less force in it than usual]

Take better care of yourself or I'll smack you, Zelos.

[and heads out of the room]

You could at least use the right tense, jeez.
