[Tayl]

Cel seemed to be in a trance-like state. She simply stared into the water...

Wonder what's wrong...

blah blah blah there's the little door thing at the bottom of the river blah blah blah

[Ignis Phasmatis]

After awhile, Ignis opened his eyes and looked about the area.

One in the direction of that River and another unknown source flying about northbound... let's see what else I can pick up.

((Is Vitara the one one down here?))

[Serene]

Serene chose to take a break, resting alongside one of the many dark trees the Underwhere held. She looked up and saw a purple sky, the same as it always had been. Is there ever any way to tell if it's night or day? she pondered. Well, I suppose if I feel tired, I'll know it's night. Right now, though, I feel refreshed and relaxed, so it can't be right now. Maybe it's evening, maybe it's in the day. Wow, this place really is bizarre. How did I end up here in the first place? Unable to recollect how she ended up in this "Game Over" sort of zone, Serene sighed and leaned against the tree.

[Tayl]

{{Well, let's just say that there's more than one person down there...}}

"Finally, we're getting to the fun part!" :3

[Ignis Phasmatis]

((Oooh. I'm guessing Fyel isn't down here, or else he would already have picked up her signature... right?))

I just wish we could hurry up and find someone. By the time we are out of here, I'm going to have killed someone... one way or another.

[Serene]

Why am I here?

How did I die?

Can I return?

Will I ever get to see my friends again?

What is this strange zone?

Those certain thoughts clouded Serene's mind, and continued forming whenever she tried to think about something else. She got out her Infinite Arc (the strongest of her weapons) and ran her hand across the thin blade, being careful not to cut herself. Such a mysterious place...

[A Bucket of Water]

Bucket, noticing the door in the murky darkness of the river, was beginning to run out of air. He swam furiously towards it.

[Zetta/Alexander]

Zetta scrambled, for the door. When he was there, he pushed it open, somewhat hoping there was air on the other side.

[Serene]

With the Infinite Arc, Serene began slashing viciously at the tree she had been leaning against. She chopped it up into roughly 4 pieces of wood, and one large piece consisting of branches. She then went on to slash up a bunch of the branches so only a few remained. finally, she pulled out a piece of gum she had kept with her for a while, and stuck bits of it on each of the four pieces of wood. She stuck what was once a clump of branches on top of all four, and she knew she had made her own raft. And I can use one of my scythes to get across the river, too! she fantasized merrily. Though she could fly, she wanted to have more of an adventure than before.

[Tayl]

{{poor tree D:}}

"You know, I wonder what happens when you kill a dead person...I mean, this is their afterlife, isn't it? Wouldn't they just magically reappear or something?" :3

"Well, looks like we'll be finding out soon."

~

Sorry, no air yet. Luckily, there's only a short path to go before they find that oh-so-precious oxygen.

[Ignis Phasmatis]

[Zetta/Alexander]

Zetta swam forward, and further into the cave, struggling to keep his breath in.

[A Bucket of Water]

Bucket couldn't make it...

Well, not unless he teleported to the air. Using the Oress to hive him the boost he needed, he warped himself just above the surface of the water. His body once again sinking under with a relieving splash, he gasped for air.

He quickly surveyed his surroundings.

[Tayl]

There wasn't much of interest except for the occasional Underhand.

...But, Bucket would get the strange sensation he was being watched. Very closely, too...

~

Finally, Umbra's group reached the river.

"You know, I've always wondered why the water's pink here...I mean, it's a lot cooler than having blue water, but, you know." :3

[A Bucket of Water]

Bucket felt the sensation of being watched, but it did not strike fear into him. Rather, it just made him curious.

"...? Is someone here?"
