can a fairy fly underwater??

[huaaaaagh]

Who: A well-balanced party- AKA Kirito, Asuna, Nightingale, Opal, Jayden, and Nami
Broadcast: N/A
Action: One of the underwater ruins
When: During this month!

[At some point after getting Nightingale to stop screaming, a proper party is assembled! They've got everything: tanks, mages, DPS, puzzle-solvers! This whole dungeon crawl should be a cinch, right? It's not like any of them have a tendency to attract bad luck or sudden disaster.

H e h. Good luck, nerds.]

[huaaaaagh]

Yeah, that was my thought.

[It's okay, since she's not gonna run he doesn't have to follow through on his threat. ...Also he's never eaten a real person before. Sounds kind of horrible actually.

Hey, if they find monster fish down here, could he fry and eat them in monster form? Just gonna file that idea away for later.]

I'm assuming you can help with sneaking around, being all... thievish.

[namisan]

[Just please don't test that theory in front of Nami.]

I can pick locks like nobody's business, but I don't know how many locked doors you're gonna find in a place known for its puzzles. But I'm smart. I'll be able to map the place in my head as we go. And I can fight, you know. I'd just prefer not to.

[Actually, as the place is completely underwater she might be able to help in other ways. She reads currents and atmosphere with ridiculous sensitivity, so. But all the ways Nami can help are kind of weird and specialty so it's hard to explain.]

[huaaaaagh]

Honestly, a good memory for directions is the most useful thing anyone could offer. Maps are critical in dungeons, especially dangerous ones.

[Even if she ends up unable to contribute to anything else, he'd happily drag her along for that skill alone. It's not like he has a mini-map in the corner of his view anymore.]

[namisan]

I figured. I can keep us from getting lost, then. [Her inner navigational awareness is excellent.]

...assuming this isn't the kind of weird place that plays tricks on you.

[huaaaaagh]

Knowing how dungeons usually work, that's probably a given. Just stay on your toes and be careful around treasure chests that look too obvious.

[Traps are the worst thing about dungeons. No matter how many times he runs through them it never gets any easier.]

[namisan]

[There's a flicker of recognition at that. She knows exactly what he's talking about.]

Let me guess. Chests in the middle of the room that look fresh and new and inviting? I'll approach with care.

[huaaaaagh]

[Kirito winces. That one's a little too specific for his liking, but he doesn't remember telling anyone here about that so... he purses his lips and glances away.]

...Right. Don't do that.

[namisan]

[That was specific. Though she'd have said much the same thing without the memory. Still, her face softens.]

Bad experiences, huh?

[She knows damn well. But it would be nice to be told actively instead of skulking around with information she shouldn't have.]

[huaaaaagh]

[He doesn't respond immediately, hesitant; even with Asuna, it had taken a while to be able to admit what happened. It's true that he's known Nami a long time at this point, too, but what makes him hesitate is that this... isn't a great place for it. He doesn't want to become a walking disaster of emotions going into a fresh, potentially dangerous dungeon.

He can't really brush it off, though- he'd been too obvious. Finally he mumbles a response.]

...Yeah. I've... seen it happen before. Act too recklessly in a place like this, and people end up dead.

[namisan]

[...yeah, okay. This probably isn't the best time. So Nami smiles faintly.]

No jumping onto treasure chests. Got it. We'll take it carefully.

[huaaaaagh]

[He's visibly relieved by the response, but also a bit guilty. It'll be pretty easy to pick his brain at a more opportune time, if she feels so inclined.]

A-anyway, we'll be fine as long as we stick together.

[namisan]

[Now she has an opening, she probably will. But for now--]

Sticking together it is. I mean, it's a lot easier for me to stay safe with a crowd to hide behind, right?

[--lightening the mood through cheeky cowardice?]

[huaaaaagh]

...Seriously, I'm not opposed to that tactic if it means nobody dies.

[He sure sounds like he's used to it, anyway.]

[namisan]

Well, I'm a big fan of nobody dying, so I guess we're in accord.
