Out of all the places you could live, you chose Pelican Town?

[frozentear]

Who: All the Alices, a bunch of monsters...
What: A little town with a big problem.
Where: World Three – Down in the Valley
Warnings: Fighting monsters, probable injury and/or death, who knows what else.

Sebastian wakes up in the hot sun on the sand, and for a moment he wonders if he's back in Ankh's heart. But there were no docks there, and this beach is very familiar. There's a staff next to him, and he picks it up without thinking. As he wanders closer to the docks, it's strange how quickly it becomes overcast and then starts to rain... it's much nicer than the beating sun, though.

Standing at the edge of the docks, he wonders where the others are. He wonders if he's back home for real, even though he knows it's unlikely. However, it's the first chance he's had to be alone for a while... hard to tell how long. As he stands there, he begins to realize something is different. Holding out a hand - focusing for a second - jelly begins to drip down into the water.

Well, that's new.

[uh, what]

[Qilby squints at the ceiling, as though he can see it, and considers. The mine would almost certainly collapse, preventing their progress; he can only teleport one person with him at a time, so he can't just move them all forward. Shit; there goes that idea.]

Unless we want to kill ourselves, let's not do that, then.

[dolosa]

That's kind of silly though, don't you think? To have a fire spell that only works like that?

[ Because seriously. Why. ]

[frozentear]

If this is like a game, it really might work underground.

[On the other hand, it could be an awful idea. But there's only one way to find out.]

[dolosa]

Should we give it a shot? It's not like dying here matters, honestly.

[bakegarasu]

Maybe. I can do it, if you guys move out of the way. Maybe leave something that we can light in the blast zone.

[dolosa]

Alright, I shall stay out of your way, then.

[Ankh is really regretting that he doesn't have his usual fire abilities right now. That would be so much more convenient that whatever this is. But he doesn't, and they're right. It might work underground and even if it doesn't, it probably doesn't matter, ultimately.

Still, he's definitely moving away and trying to find somewhere to stand where the ceiling seems especially stable.]

[zinit]

[The only flammable thing he might have would be his shirt, and even if he wanted to do that, it's too damp... So he just moves back and looks around to see if there's anything in their surroundings.]

[dolosa]

[ and while you guys do that Rei's just gonna step back, relax, and watch everything go wrong ]

[bakegarasu]

[Fine then, he'll just... look for something flammable on his own. He's not giving up his jacket, fuck you.]

[worldkeys]

[ Nothing in their immediate surroundings, but there is always the option to go back to the previous area if they want to do some backtracking. ]

[bakegarasu]

Hm... won't do much good if we can't carry the fire with us.
