Who: Vash, Sam, & Nami
Broadcast: None
Action: Water Temple
When: Right now

[Vash floats near the water temple. Having heard of there being a treasure possibly from home inside. It was an interesting prospect.

Having not even thought to ask if anyone wanted to join him on this dangerous adventure he hesitates a bit as he wonders how risky this might be.

Then he starts forward. He's Vash the Stampede! How dangerous can one temple be? He'll probably survive just fine!

Probably...

Of course, having two guardian angels who looks suspiciously like a pirate navigator and a American hunter would probably greatly up his chances at survival.]

[Judge all you want, Sam Winchester, this isn't actually about cowardice. She reaches out to latch onto Sam's shirt and pull him backward to let Vash go first, which isn't something she could have managed if they weren't floating in water, but hey, what can you do?]

If you didn't want to go first, you shouldn't have shown you could spot trip wires under water at thirty feet.

[SERIOUSLY THIS IS COMMON SENSE JEEZ. Though she knows Vash well enough that she bets he was all too willing to go first anyway.]

[collegedropout]

[HRRRK —

He looks back with a 'what the heck, Nami' frown, adjusting his stretched collar.]

You know I deal with traps and ambushes for a living, right?

[goldenglasses]

What? Does being under water really make finding trip wires that much harder? [He kids as he swims ahead. He'll just use their bickering to happily put some distance between them and scout the next room. Not finding anything suspicious straight away he'll go ahead and enter the room.

Vash is more than happy for the two to fight between each other for a bit so he can hopefully keep them out of danger a bit longer.]

[namisan]

Yes. [To Vash, you big jerk. Then she raises an eyebrow at Sam.]

Not specifically, no. You've never said that. [She's being pedantic. She's also generally treading water in Vash's general direction, so let's bicker on the way, shall we?] But either way, Vash saw it, we didn't. He can find them, we'll disarm them.

[It's probably not so extremely important, but if you're gonna judge her for waving Vash ahead she's gonna be a little bitch about it :T

...also you have a bad track record at getting hurt, god.]

[collegedropout]

[He rolls his eyes and keeps on swimming ahead.

BICKERING WE SHALL. Sorry Vash, couple's quarrel.]

Just because I've gotten hurt around you before doesn't mean I can't handle some wire traps.

1/3

[goldenglasses]

Yeah, Nami! He can handle wire traps! You know, If he had seen it! [Vash is the most helpful ever. He's got your back Sam even if you don't want it. No need to thank him.]

Huh, I wonder what this does... [Just going to pull this lever here that says: Pull me and-]

[goldenglasses]

[BOOOOOOOOM!]

[goldenglasses]

Hey!!! Good news! I got the next door open! [He sounds super happy and energetic about that so he's probably fine.]

[namisan]

[Stabbing a finger at Sam.] Don't say it.

[Okay so she forgot you were STUPID IN OTHER WAYS jfc you're as bad as Luffy-- swimming in after your sorry ass now, Vash.]

[collegedropout]

......................

[Holy shit, Vash. I just. Alright.]

I don't need to say anything you're not already telling yourself.

[I'm just gonna go in last this time.

For my personal safety against my squad.]

[goldenglasses]

[So the room looks a bit exploded. But the door to the next one is open! Miraculously Vash looks completely untouched by the blast.]

What? [He can see that unhappy look on Nami's face.] It said pull me! It's hard not to pull a lever that's asking to be pulled! But! Lesson learned! I won't pull the next one if it comes up again!

[namisan]

Good plan. [She looks around the trashed room (so this is the theme of this run, is it) and then back to Mr Untouched with a curious look, then sighs, heading for the next opening. The room ahead is much longer, with a lot of small passages that seem to head off it.]

Oh. Wonderful.

[It's okay. All the supposed extra passages tend to end with dead ends covered in sharp spikes. That's not ominous at all!]

[collegedropout]

[Yeah, Sam doesn't like that at all. But he does stop and appears attentive.]

The current's flowing that way. [He motions with a nod, and scoops a small square of cotton material out of his pants pocket to watch it travel along the faintest tug of the water. He'd considered it plausible after seeing everyone's hair lean just a bit to a particular direction, but this is good testing, here.] ... I figured we might run into mazes or something, so.

[goldenglasses]

[Vash watches the cotton float away. Eventually coming to land on some spikes.] Doesn't look like we can just let the current take us either. We'll have to swim against it then?

[Suddenly wishing he was a slightly stronger swimmer, but he thinks he can do it.]

[namisan]

[Nami approves of your common sense, Sam. She also watches the cotton float its merry way across the room. Kind of interesting how it sort of swerves a third of the way across to meet those spikes. Hmm. Conflicting currents.

This requires some headtilting and thinking. Don't mind her, carry on.]

[collegedropout]

[Yeah, that is a little concerning, huh.]

You have something going on in there, Nami?

[You seem like you're considering something pretty critically, friend.]

[goldenglasses]

[Vash takes a glance over at Nami and decides to stay quiet. Letting the two swimmers think as he goes back to staring at the water.

Hm. Could he swim over it? No, even just floating near the doorway he can feel the current trying to pull him in. Maybe if he swims really hard and fast?

Or maybe he should stop here. He knows he's not the strongest swimmer and doesn't want to possibly burden these two.]

[namisan]

[Nami is contemplating the swim, but give how sharply the cotton piece veered off course she rather suspects it's going to be stronger than they can manage in some portions of the room, at least.]

...maybe. You got any more cotton? We should send a whole bunch of test pieces at different points from here.

[If he doesn't, well... maybe she can turn something up. Or use Vash. :D]

[collegedropout]

... I could cut off pieces of my plaid.

[He waggles his knife in his hand, removed from his hip.]

[goldenglasses]

Or I have a few cloth bandages we could cut up. Although if there really are viewers watching us right now I bet they'd rather see Sam cut up his shirt.

[namisan]

[Or there's option three. Instincts and impatience are always a fun mix in her chosen field. About halfway through Vash's last sentence, Nami tilts her head, gives a small hmm and just kind of steps crossways into the room proper and pushes up away from the ground.

...whoosh? Hey look I found a fast current shit byeeee--

YOLO?]

[collegedropout]

[...............................

I just.

I JUST—


He rubs his face tiredly.]

[collegedropout]

Are we supposed to follow her or—??

[NAMI IS REALLY GOOD AT THIS SHIT

UNSURE IF WE WILL DIE TRYING IT TOO THO]

[goldenglasses]

Uh--- I don't know. [He's never seen anything like this before. It looks like Nami's about to get turned into a pin cushion, but then suddenly yanked away to a safer area.]

AHHH! LOOK OUT! [But nope. Even before he finishes his shouting Nami looks to be whisked away out of danger again.]
