[center][h2][color=crimson][b]Tholl[/b][/color][/h2][/center][hr] [color=crimson]"Hot damn you guys booked it fast. I didn't think you'd be ready for at least fifteen. Hope you didn't forget anything in the rush."[/color] Tholl declared to the gathered students, bouncing on her heels in impish glee. She hadn't thought they'd actually succeed, but it served as a good measure of their response time. If they made asses of themselves trying to fumble there way to the dorms and back then Tholl was going to have to really hover over them close for the mission. [color=crimson]"Maybe things will go better then I expect."[/color][hr][center][h2][b]The Sewers[/b][/h2][/center] There destination wasn't the least bit appealing. No air conditioned warehouses awaited Tholl and Kromric's lot, as the Arachnid teacher dropped through an open manhole to alight upon the banks of flowing sewage. Twin tracks of cracked, worn concrete lined a putrid river parting the middle of the tunnel which stretched inwards in either direction with the only light coming from the aperture directly above. To Mrs. Tholl's gaze it was clear that there were the encased bulbs of emergency lights set into the upper reaches of the cylindrical walls, yet there seemed to be no power to offer their illumination. Her every step was met with the squelch of fetid dampness, not a dry spot to be seen that wasn't rife with mold or refuse thrown from the water upon a rain surge's violent tide some weeks or months past. It was a blessing that Tholl wasn't the sort of predator reliant upon a sense of smell, and doubly so that she had left the wolf behind for this class as well. [color=crimson]"Alright class, come on down and acclimatize yourselves. This stink is everywhere, so get used to it. I don't want anyone hesitating because the grossness repelled them from stepping in a puddle."[/color] She bellowed back up towards the manhole, and waited to be joined by the others in their own time. Considering her group and the tightness of this space, she was rather fortunate to be receiving the one with such drastically different students in terms of body type. [color=crimson]"If everyone can manage to keep their lunches down, then let's get on with the mission. You already know we are here to remove an infestation. Of what, we do not know, but whatever it is has got to go or we are going to have major sanitation issues soon enough, and that is always a precursor to wide spread sickness and disorder. You hear me so far?"[/color] [color=crimson]"According to reports, the sewer workers were attacked in that direction,"[/color] Tholl pointed off down the stretch of sewer, precluding the other from the investigation, [color=crimson]"So we are going to spread out along either side of the sewer and move carefully. Be mindful of each other and try not to get in one another's way. Because whatever is down here likely won't have any such difficulty on it's own home turf."[/color] [color=crimson]""[/color]
