The same happened to us. All of this -

[ a gesture outwards and around to the. blood. i forgot to mention he's like back covered in blood and viscera. it's fine. ]

- Appeared. Moments after I brought up the missing son to the butcher. I wonder if the... flesh monster you saw was what I thought I saw in the surface of the butcher's knife.

[bladeward]

[ i guess he's helmeted now. ]

The guy I was talking to made some kind of message or something in the bull's fur, before pushing it in the hole. [ he really did just watch some dude butcher a cow, then yeet it to the depths of hell. shakes his head.

to that last bit from temenos...]

You saw it too? [ blinks ] I saw the same thing back in that field, in the bull's bell. I didn't know what to think of it, just a trick on the eyes, but considering what you guys just went through...

[solesuccess]

...what was the point of doing something to a bull if you were just gonna throw it in a hole? [ pause. ] Wait we don't need to go in the hole, do we?

[ no!!!! but...um. ]

Now that you mentioned it, I thought I saw something in Sticks' water bottle, too. This weird tendril reflected in the glass. A warning...?

[riverbeans]

[oh yeah shoma and charles are also unfortunately covered in a mess. we're all doing great.]

... Well, we already ignored the first potential warning from the bull Keith talked to. Get the feeling we're going to keep ignoring the others, too.

[inquired]

Some warnings are meant to be ignored.

[ are they ]

Besides, I imagine that may be the center of our anomaly, all things considered. Io did say the reading was deep down into the planet, so I imagine... downwards is going to be our direction.

[bladeward]

Something about the mother earth guiding them on what meat is suitable? And once they have that selection they sort and choose what to give to the mother, the earth.

[ he still doesn't get it. to piggyback off what temenos says, also... ]

If I had to guess, it has something to do with this pit. Which I probably related to our overall issue.

[solesuccess]

So...it's like a weird offering thing. An actual blood sacrifice to...whatever "mother earth" is in this case. And it means our source we have to rip up from its roots is likely being powered by those sacrifices. Or am I starting to go way off-base here?

[riverbeans]

Yikes. [a sigh, as he shrugs.] Well, I agree we're likely meant to go... down.

[inquired]

[ sacrifices, tentacles, carnage..... i feel tatloch in this chilis tonight

anyway ]

I think you're onto something, Shoma. [ bad. ] I don't suppose anyone has any idea of how to land in a bottomless pit.

[bladeward]

Yeah, that's probably not far off from what's really going on. [ they all hate that. ]

If our suits had boosters on the back, it'd be easy. Guess we'll just have to take a leap of faith, then.

[ he is half joking. ]

[inquired]

We are doomed.


[ says the cleric



this is probably a joke ]

[solesuccess]

We are going to die.

[ this is not really a joke. ]

[riverbeans]

Haha. [dryly,] We'll manage... maybe.

[dropoffs]

Considering how they made it... definitly was only ever supposed to be a one way trip... [ gazes at hole with uncertainty. ]

[inquired]

I suppose, for all we know, we could be jumping into a fleshy monster.

[riverbeans]

Hey, at least that'd make for a good cushion, right?

[this really does remind him of tatloch though NOT THE JUMPING INTO A MONSTER PART]

[inquired]

Maybe we should have brought Viktor. His experience being assimilated into flesh walls for science could have been useful...

[solesuccess]

Noooooooooooooooooooo....

[inquired]

[ pats his back gently like there there ]

I suppose the longer we sit here and ruminate on what could be down there, the worse and more imaginative our ideas will become.

[solesuccess]

Most likely. [ grumbling. ] ...if you guys didn't hear a sound hitting the bottom, then there must be something for us to land on. If I had to guess, it's probably more dead cows. [ fun! ] But it is possible we might actually be able to land and take a look. It's just...probably going to be bad.

[inquired]

...I have enough mana, I can heal us when we get down, if the landing is rough. So long as we all survive.

[bladeward]

I've been trapped inside a Weblum before and managed to find a way out. [ shrugs ] There has to be some sort of way out. [ io said it's probably a one way. but keith doesn't agree. skill issue.

help. ]
