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.

[Fina is half-expecting an unwelcome appearance from the Malnosso as well, which is why Cupil is floating sluggishly close by. Like the other Blue Rogues, she feels vulnerable now her magic is ineffectual down here.]

I don't like this.

Yeah... This place has a really bad feeling to it.

[Vyse was never much of a magic whizz, which is why he isn't feeling that vulnerable down here. He's got two cutlasses and he's not afraid to use 'm! On the other hand, he's also fully aware that some people in the group don't have that luxury. This might be why he's staying in the hallway with Fina instead of investigating the rooms.]

[She offers him an appreciative smile, although there is still a nagging feeling of worry behind it. Fina does not want to see what was in that room Lloyd managed to pry open, anyway... raised voices and all. Whatever was locked away in this weird tunnel by a bunch of mad scientists cannot be good.]

[Vyse has already got the general gist of what's in those rooms. He's caught a glimpse of some strange table when Lloyd opened the door, and it's not hard to picture what that thing might be used for. Another reason why he's staying behind to keep Fina company; she doesn't have to see that kind of stuff. Let's find a nice, cheerful topic change!]

You know, maybe we'll find something down here we can use against the Malnosso.

[Nice, cheerful topic change in the belly of De Loco's dream vacation spot for the win. But it does work, as she perks up slightly when he says that and remembers the pervious experiences where skulking around yielded results.]

Like what?

Maybe some technology we can use to get our powers back. Or a weapon.

[he's picturing the most grand Moonstone cannon in existence, ready to blast those Malnosso right off their socks. Because we all know dungeons lead to weapon upgrades, as long as you check every single room for neat goodies.]

[Your Pirate rank will go up if you check every room for treasure chests, Vyse. Fina sees him get excited about the prospect of a weapon like the Moonstone cannon and laughs. She then tilts her head to the side in thought as she muses over what they could discover from this expedition.]

Maybe there will be something down here that tells us how to neutralize the barrier too... like when I was first brought here.

[OOC: aaand off to work I go.]

How about a machine we can use to send people home, or get reinforcements from our own worlds?

[just imagine that entire Blue Rogue fleet, complete with airships, here in Luceti. One cannot deny it would be amazing. Plus, if they can take down Zelos the Gigas, they can beat the Malnosso with that. The prospects of what they can discover here just keep on getting better and better.]

[She nods, remembering the impressive fleet of somewhat motley Air Pirates that joined them after Soltis was raised.]

We would be able to show the Malnosso who they messed with, right?

You bet!

[now he's really getting his hopes up. Too bad this 'expedition' is probably going to end in catastrophy again.]

And Brave Vesperia is helping too. I hope we can all find something... anything.

[Do not tempt fate D:]

We will.

[optimism, optimism, optimism!]

Mm. Maybe we should start investigating the rooms ourselves.

[pessimis- no, not this again.]

[of course, Vyse doesn't really want Fina to see the inside of those rooms.]

I'm sure the others have got it covered.

[Fina can't help but feel guilty she might be the reason he's staying behind instead of joining the search.]

Are you sure?

[technically, she's right. But we can put a positive spin on that.]

I'm sure. If there's something in there worth while, they'll come get us. In the meantime, we'll stay here and keep guard.

[And she still doesn't look entirely convinced.]

If you say so.

It'll be fine. Those rooms are cramped anyway.

[he's determined to soothe Fina's nerves and not let her go into those rooms.]

... [His determination will not be in vain! By now, Cupil has drifted back over to them and she pats the little pet affectionately.]

And we still don't know how far these tunnels go.

Who knows? Maybe they'll lead to someplace nice, outside the barrier.

[he watches her pet Cupil, smiling slightly.]

That would be nice.. a whole new world to explore.

It'd be great! If we can find the proper technology, we can get one or two air ships here. Stahn and Lloyd said they'd come too!

[the idea of exploring the rest of this world is actually a pretty hot topic for Vyse.]

[Aha, Fina notices that he seems more energized after mentioning that notion and turns her attention away from Cupil, head tilted with interest.]

They would?

Yup! That's why I can't wait to bring the Malnosso down for good. We'll have this entire world for ourselves.

[Hurray for the Blue Rogue wanderlust fervour ~~oh man, let this event end peacefully, at least.~~]

We'll be able to see what lies beyond this sunset, right?
