[audacity]

Yeah.

[ opens his eyes, then sweeps his eyes down the street. loud enough for everyone to hear, ]

Guys, there's water under our feet. A lot of it. There might be something worth seeing in the sewers.

[endsjustified]

How different does it feel from the water flow of, well, an actual sewer?

[audacity]

[ considers that ]

The water is flowing really, like...regularly? I wouldn't expect that in a dead city where no one's using the plumbing. Even in a normal one, the water pressure kinda depends on demand.

[ waves hands i'm sorry idk how sewers work irl ]

[endsjustified]

I'd still like to see if there's an information center before we commit ourselves to the underground with even less known escape route, but that does seem worth investigating.

[abandon_hope]

[ pipes up: ]

I can teleport us if we need to get out quickly.

[endsjustified]

Does your teleport involve shadows at all?

[abandon_hope]

Yeah. It's shadow travel, specifically. Why?

[audacity]

Yeah, we can check out the less sketchy places first. And I can go down first whenever we do, make sure it's all clear.

[mykidisthebest]

[immediately looks tired]

I forgot to bring my swimsuit. Can you sense if anything is in the water? I don't want to immediately get gobbled up by a mist shark.

[audacity]

Not from here. But if we get closer, I can try to feel if anything's disturbing the current. Or if I can talk to anything down there.

I can also just jump in first and let you guys know if it's safe or not.

[mykidisthebest]

Do not jump in on your own. I don't have a child leash to fish you out with.

Getting closer sounds fine to me, but I want Ananke and Scarab to get an aerial view of the city first. They can find us a...manhole or something.

[audacity]

[ HOLDS UP HIS HANDS ]

It was just a suggestion. I won't do it if you all don't agree.

And that's a great idea. That'd be an easier way to see what's happening down there for sure.

[mykidisthebest]

If we can't find anything else of interest then I don't see the harm in checking things out underground. This place seems abandoned, so I don't know how much information we'll get just by aimlessly wandering.

[audacity]

[ optimistically, ]

Maybe there'll be nothing down there but a lot of gross water.

[abandon_hope]

I can probably open a path down if you can tell me where to dig.

[audacity]

Maybe let's try to find a manhole first. [ ... ] A wolf hole?

Not that that's not a good idea. But maybe we should see if there's a quieter way in first, just in case.

[abandon_hope]

[ Kevin nods. ]

Makes sense. If it's a real sewer, there has to be a normal way in.

[audacity]

Right? We can look around and see if we can find any.

[abandon_hope]

I can do that.

[ time to search the area for holes ]

[audacity]

[ time to look! ]

Lethe said Ananke and Scarab can look too.

[ gestures at them flyin' upwards ]

[spinebuddyandme]

Gross.

[audacity]

[ siGHS ]

Yeah, I know. Sorry.

[spinebuddyandme]

Can you at least, like, keep the water down there from touching us?

[audacity]

Yeah, I should be able to. I can control it to stay away from you guys. I once helped my friends walk through the real River Lethe, and neither got a drop on them. Ask Kevin if you don't believe me.

[ hopefully these aren't #bravelastwords ]

[spinebuddyandme]

Seriously? That's way more impressive than I was expecting.
