[A small nod.]

I think following that trail would be our best bet for now. Either those are remnants from whatever destroyed them, or it could be from whatever took them away.

[Hm... As he thought, the crystal trail continues. It's clear the trail also lead to the bats, and a quick look over reveals more shards within, so they were still on the right track there. But then what of this other path? Had the bats gone further down or is it something else?

It's then that he hears... Snuffling sounds? And soon the sound of digging which Tifa will also be able to hear. And it's further down that very path that looks unsafe, but...]


Stay close.

[Just a quiet call as he looks towards the path. Dangerous or not, they need to go, and Eustace will quickly take the lead.]

...If not moles, then some other burrowing creature.

[He slowly raises one of the lightning orbs to cast a wider, dim light, and they can see a large shadow in the distance, already half inside the wall.]

Really? But wouldn't they be more focused on the walls?

[He quickly reaches out when he hears her fall, holding her close as he feels her pulse racing.]

....What happened to you and Sora?
flamekthunder: (ϟ 018)

[personal profile] flamekthunder 2023-10-09 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
...I see.

[Seeing her still shaken, he can't help but furrow his brows and pull her a little closer to try and soothe her.]

Don't worry. I won't let anything happen.

[In about ten steps, he's going to eat those words and be put to the test.]

—!

[The sudden jerk of his hand and her scream sends him staggering back, falling to the ground, but his reflexes are quick enough to tighten his hold and swing his other arm around as he rolls onto his stomach to try and grab her.]

Hold on!

[Except as he tries to pull her up, he feels the ground cracking beneath him. Shit.

Thinking quickly and rolling a freaking nat 20, he sees a nearby stalagmite and he uses his dreamotion to fling out a vine, the end wrapping around the column of rock tightly before another flies down to wrap around her, connecting them. And just in time as the ground beneath him gives way. They'll fall about a foot or two before the the vine around his arm tightens, making them dangle and swing from the momentum.]

[There's a slight grunt and grimace from the vine tightening around his arm, but he just endures.]

I'll be fine. What about you?
flamekthunder: (ϟ 079)

[personal profile] flamekthunder 2023-10-09 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
They'll hold as long as I control it.

[But he also can't hold it forever.]

Tifa, can you make a light? If it's closer to the ground I can lower us down, but if it's better to go back up, I can pull us that way.
flamekthunder: (ϟ 082)

[personal profile] flamekthunder 2023-10-09 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[As he looks down at how far the ground is, he then looks up at the vine. It's still holding at least...]

I can get us to where you can safely drop down at least. Just be prepared to make a nest if we end up falling.

[Nest of vines and flowers. That should help cushion the fall at least.

And with that, Eustace concentrates and the vine quickly begins to lower them down.]

[Well we got a 20 13 SO a little excitement.

As more dust falls, Eustace will glance up right as there's a sudden snap of part of the vine fraying from the tension and cut of the sharp rocks. But hearing a different kind of crack further up, he quickly looks back.]


Get ready—!?

[Just as he's about to tell Tifa to go ahead and let go, there's an odd shudder through the vine, one that is clearly made from something outside messing with the vine. And then there's another snap, louder this time, before the vine completely goes slack and they fall.

If course the landing will be softened by the nest, but Eustace will hastily try and pull Tifa to him regardless, wanting to protect her.]

[When they come to a stop, Eustace winces a little, but he managed to roll a 17 endure the impact. He lays there a moment to catch his breath before he quickly moves to check on her.]

Tifa, are you all right?
