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.]

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.
