AMALTHEA

[soulping]

[ Everything fades to black...and you awaken in a run-down one-room shack, with the distinct feeling that the people around you are your family, if you didn't already have such a bond with them.

You're wearing raggedy versions of your uniform, and a newspaper informs you that you are currently in Cathay, on the fifteenth anniversary of the day the company Lupus' Secret Stash led a coup and established their own government. In fact, you can now remember why you came here - to escape the misfortunes of your own country - because this is truly the land of opportunity and freedom. ]

EVENT 2

[soulping]

While working in the coal mines, another worker knocks a bundle of dynamite down into a crevasse on accident. You could probably retrieve it if you climb carefully. What do you do?

[codecmoment]

That sounds like a fast way to die.

[menially]

Possibly. If we've got something to keep the climber steady, like rope, it might be doable.

[whoslaughingmeow]

I think we should try.

If we do nothing, we'll never move up and just.. slowly starve and freeze.

[powerpunch]

I can go look for rope and hold on.

[menially]

You sure you can hold my weight without your shard?

[whoslaughingmeow]

I can help help him. Together we should weigh more than you.

[powerpunch]

Ain't exactly weak even without it man, just gonna take me more effort. The others can prob'ly help me too.

[whoslaughingmeow]

..Or I could always go.

My leg is all better.

I'm lightest and smallest, and even if I fall I probably won't.. break my neck or anything..

[unguilded]

Might help our p-position though, if it's n-not.

[. . . wait, what's going on here]

[looking at everyone like ????]

Re: EVENT 2

[menially]

[holy shit where did you come from]

Re: EVENT 2

[unlocksmith]

[OUTSIDE]

. . . someone wanna fill me in?

Re: EVENT 2

[menially]

[coated in coal dust, horribly thin, staring down a rocky crevice]

Do you want the short answer or the long answer?

Re: EVENT 2

[unlocksmith]

[I see I missed exciting things]

You're not seriously considerin' goin' down there, are you?

Re: EVENT 2

[menially]

Not like this, no. If we figured a safer way to get down there, though, I could take a shot at it.

Definitely wouldn't be worth it if I fell.

[...hhh. Sighs.]

Sorry. Damn, I know it doesn't make sense.

Re: EVENT 2

[unlocksmith]

Honestly, I'm not sure it's worth the risk. We don't even know what the benefits of retrievin' it would be.

Re: EVENT 2

[powerpunch]

Spark!

So, uh. Stuff's been happenin' and now we've gotta decide what to do about this.

Re: EVENT 2

[unlocksmith]

Slam the door in his face.

[duh]

[don't even bother stealing the alcohol it could be poisoned]

Re: EVENT 2

[whoslaughingmeow]

[Oh god you're here.

Somebody was crying.]

Re: EVENT 2

[unlocksmith]

[HE CAN TELL]

Leo? What's happenin'?

Re: EVENT 2

[whoslaughingmeow]

Uh...

[Takes a deep breath.]

We're starving. Rook almost froze to death. I got shot in the leg and Otacon pulled the bullet out.

[So, everything is on fire.]

Re: EVENT 2

[unlocksmith]

[well that sounds. entertaining]

Did ya clean the wound? Are you all right?

Re: EVENT 2

[whoslaughingmeow]

I recovered.

Rook is getting better.

It's.

It's fine.

[It's actually almost fine now. He rubs his.. obviously chewed on hands together a little.]

Re: EVENT 2

[unlocksmith]

Take it easy. Don't irritate the injury so much that it starts to bleed again.
