Week Six

[letsplayamod]

You've survived, for lack of better wording, the latest week of trials and tribulations. This one had been more costly than most: Typhon's machinations have brought your group to nearly half the size it was when Athena first brought you to this island. Whether it ends with him or with you is still too soon to make out. One thing's for certain. Things cannot be allowed to continue as they are.

Speaking of continuing, the next floor has been revealed to you. Just how far down this island goes is a bit of a mystery, but you get the feeling that you're close to something important. Maybe that thing Athena wanted you to find before Typhon does. You can ruminate on that as you watch the waters below. Waves still lap at the cliffs, but it all seems lower than it did weeks ago. Like the ocean itself is shrinking...

2/2

[latinumsbetter]

[...ah.]

Yeah, I'm here, Athena.

[letsplayamod]

I can't say how long it has been.

[...]

I've missed our conversations.

1/2

[latinumsbetter]

24 days, 20 hours and around 45 minutes, give or take a few minutes depending on departure time.

[just rattling that off, casually, like that's something everyone should clearly know right off the top of their head.]

[latinumsbetter]

[He does muster one of his most charming smiles, even if he's not really sure she can see it.]

You're telling me that Typhon or whoever's got you trapped hasn't been providing you with scintillating conversation and entertainment? For shame!

I suppose I'll have to make sure you're well supplied when you get back to make up for it.

[letsplayamod]

The seconds before I had become aware of myself were awfully boring, definitely. But, that long...

[Her disappointment in being wherever she is now is palpable.]

I guess I should've known you would keep my drink ready. I may very well need it, once this is over.

[latinumsbetter]

It's been waiting for you this long. No reason it won't keep waiting until you make it back.

[we are definitely just talking about the drink here]

[letsplayamod]

It's... nice of you to do that for me, even now. I didn't think I would be gone nearly this long.

[latinumsbetter]

I said I would, didn't I? And it sounds like you didn't even know that they put you in stasis like that.

Listen, we're gonna hold out here and get to the center of this place. You just work on getting free of whoever's got you.

[letsplayamod]

It's a surprise to me. If something's got me, I guess I didn't see it coming. Odd... It's not a tactic a Titan would use.

You're going to the center? [...] Be careful, please. From what I've gathered, what's down there is incredibly powerful.

[latinumsbetter]

It's not? [...huh. That's...weird. Quark's brow furrows] You know anyone who would use that kind of tactic?

[as for the center--that frown deepens because:]

Didn't you tell us that we needed to get to the center of this place? That's what Aoi said.
