VIDEO -- NN & QUICKFISH.

[trueborn]

-- one moment, my lord.

[ The feed connects, and immediately reveals a number of dark, slightly-damp arrows that outline what appears to be just one more stray passage through the interior of the maze. Alongside the opening, the cooling body of something large and bestial. In frame is Ninurrta, which means Hayame must be holding the magitech. ]

Now? Oh. Everyone, Hayame and I have located the way through to the next ring of this place.

It is located in section four, near to a large lake. We have, um. Marked the path to the best of our ability.

[ By the mess on his hands, as the camera pans over him - capturing the lake in frame, before returning to the passageway in question - they've marked it with "paint". ew. ]

We do not know what lies ahead, nor will we be responsible for your lives.

So cool...

[ Judging that to be enough, Hayame lowers the magitech- but it's still filming the floor and her equine forelegs as she rustles in her pouch for something, voice muffled by the extraneous noise. ]

Please, use this to cleanse yourself, my lord. The beast's filth will contaminate you-

[ Please get magitech lessons. ]

Nn- it's fi- HaYAME -- !

( OOC - Haymaker and Neeners have located the entrance to the next layer of the maze!

The log for this is going live on the 22nd, so replies on this will be slightly delayed because of timezones and the mod calendar, yo. )

You all right there, son?

[trueborn]

[ it takes him a moment to exTRACT HIMSELF ]

How do you mean, mister? There is no danger at the moment, if you are worried.

[flashbanging]

You sure? Sounded like you were getting assaulted.

[ By an extremely rude horse-woman. ]

[this......... is cute.....]

Thank you for your hard work, you two. And thank you for cleaning him up, Hayame.

[Thanks For Embarrassing The Boy]

[trueborn]

Hayame was concerned for my well-being. She means well. I think.

[ there is a lake he can wash his hands in, gosh hayame ]

Really. It's just a little blood - !

[flashbanging]

She got a funny way of showin' it.

[ He puffs on his cigar. Looking unimpressed. ]

Your blood, or somebody else's?

[trueborn]

I believe that the relationship we have is... "funny", to some.

[ he might be missing some context between cowboy and centaur here ]

We couldn't carve into the walls of this maze - so, we improvised! With the blood of a foul beast.

[flashbanging]

Funny wouldn't be my first choice of words.

[ He's not gonna keep hating, though. ]

Come again? You did what with the blood now?

[The "thank you" for the first one she sidesteps, because tbf she wasn't even gonna tell you all this but,]

I need not be thanked for doing my duty. I shall not allow him to be dirtied by the tainted blood of this monster.

[blood taboos, they legit]

[flashbanging]

He was lookin' mighty distressed to me, sweetheart.

[ :) ]

[trueborn]

We marked the maze walls, to ensure Audentes could find their way.

[ paaaaaannning the video around, there you go mccree -- ]

See? Even this, I do not know if it will last.

[flashbanging]

[ That's pretty metal. ]

How's the smell?

[ Maybe that'll stick around. ]

[kisha]

Perhaps your time in prison has weakened your senses.

[Let's go mister flash bang!!!]

[digiorno]

Well, I appreciate it anyway, but I'll retract the thanks if you want me to. If that would make you more comfortable.

[flashbanging]

Naw. I'm feelin' fit as a fiddle. How 'bout you?

[kisha]

Far stronger than some weak woman's instrument.

[yeah.... she might not totally understand what a fiddle is but BLUFF]

[kisha]

I shall consider it done.

[there. gone.]

[flashbanging]

[ He snorts. ]

What now? Devil himself played the fiddle, you know.

[digiorno]

Thank you for that.

[giorNO]

[kisha]

I do not know your devil, but instruments with strings belong in a woman's parlor.

[so hmmph!]

[kisha]

...

[When deciding whether to take offense or not... the generally healthy option is...

To take offense.]

[flashbanging]

[ He's just getting more incredulous. ]

Who all decided that?

[Ignoring the....sudden assault of cleanliness.]

The blood paint is a nice touch. We should get some torches flickering around it too, just to add to the spooky mood. But seriously, are you sure it's hygienic to use a beast's blood for this kind of thing, though?

[kisha]

The nature of the sexes, one supposes.

[we just conveniently ignore personal womanhood as it suits obv]
