[ Onto the planet! Though as they get into A.R.G.O. gear, there are signs of cuts along her arms and legs that have rusted... And a large rusty color that stains her shirt, on the chest.

BUT ONTO THE PLANET. The gear really doesn't look that different from her outfit. She takes a moment and touches the center of her chest, adding obvious pressure. ]

They live in the mines, I think.

[riverbeans]

[he gives the rust a glance but his gaze doesn't linger on them, at least.]

I'm not claustrophobic, so that's not a problem. Heading into the mines kind of feels like an adventure, huh?

[impatiens]

It does, doesn't it!

[ It is a bit dark down there, but there are lights because they do actually mine. Amalthea will point to the baskets of ores and rocks. ]

I read that they ate these.

[riverbeans]

Ohhhh. Do they get fed the rocks that the miners aren't after?

[impatiens]

That's what I heard, too... But it's a little sad to only give them scrap rocks.

[ Which is why they have some variety in these baskets! but they can go into the mines... and they'll find bigger than human-sized rock lobsters mining. ]

[riverbeans]

[









i see. these are more like monsters, charles now realizes.]

These guys are a little bigger than I expected.

[impatiens]

... When I read lobsters, I was thinking dog-sized.

[ She's a little hesitant to try to feed one now. ]

[riverbeans]

Well...

... They're probably friendly, right...?

[impatiens]

Want to feed them first?

[ Volunteers Charles instantly. ]

[riverbeans]

You're sacrificing me, Amalthea...!?

[but he will go grab a rock and cautiously head towards one of the lobsters...]

[impatiens]

[ Already close behind him, looking over his shoulder to the rock lobsters. One has Noticed them.

In a deeper voice: ]

It's a king's duty to serve his people.

[riverbeans]

Well, when you put it like that...

[but he approaches... he's actually not sure what feeding GIANT ROCK LOBSTERS entails, so he like. tosses the rock lightly at its feet. is unsure if he's supposed to let it eat it out of its hand.]

[impatiens]

[ She watches quietly as a rock lobster slowly trudges over and picks up the rock, then eats it happily. ]

I think it likes it.

[riverbeans]

[watches this...]

Looks like they're peaceful enough! You wanna try?

[impatiens]

You should feed it a second time!

[ She wants to see again before she tries. ]

[riverbeans]

[jokingly,]

Is this you feeding the lobsters or you using me to...?

[gently tosses another rock at its feet]
