Mahendra himself didn't think he had seen anything quite like that before, numbers and whatnot, quite sophisticated, but Nora surprisingly to him appeared to show some grasp of their concepts. Mahendra gave her another approving nod as she worked, she certainly was onto something, like he had told her earlier. [Color=007236]"Smarter indeed, Lauren."[/color] His confident assesment that they were no longer in danger was about to be put to the test, as a familiar shake shook its way through Mahendra's bones once again. Mahendra quickly turned his head to look out for more holes in the ground, but it wasn't the ground that was shaking; It was the wall, Nora's wall! Watching in amazment, Mahendra's mouth was wide open as the wall was lifted up by some unseen contraption, revealing an open hallway leading further into the depths of Athribis's underbelly. [Color=007236]"Miss Kingston…You have officially my most sincere regards."[/color] Mahendra complimented Nora, reaching for another one of the torches he'd brought along and holding it out for the Lord Major to light. [Color=007236]"Very good, Lord Major Sir. Your abilities are most certainly still needed by us. Would you be so kind as to light this one too, Sir?"[/color] Mahendra asked the Lord Major, who also looked at the wall. Or where the wall had once been, and now endless darkness persisted. Mahendra stepped forward and began to inspect the hallway, hopefully with a lit torch as the darkness was not helping. He looked for anything that stuck out to him and his academic nose, but the only thing he could point out were the carvings of the walls. Not that the whole incident was as if pulled out of a legendary tale, but this was perhaps not Mahendra's forte. [Color=007236]"How extraordinary…Miss Kingston? Would these markings here be of any meaning to you?"[/color] [hr][center][h1][color=#255DB3]Richard Barker[/color][/h1] [img]https://i.ibb.co/sy2fGQz/ezgif-4-10f332fdde31.gif[/img][/center] [hr][center][Color=#255DB3]Location:[/color] Athribis (Underground) [Color=#255DB3]Skills: [/color]N/A[/center][hr] Looking around his immediate area for anything that he could use for light down in the curse darkness, it didn't take long for Richard to find a torch. Picking it up, Richard suddenly felt as if he was no longer a hard boiled detective, but one of those characters in a pulp-novel in a magazine. He had read a few in his years, but it really wasn't for him. Too many unrealistic portrayals of fights and seriously too much nudity. One would think they were sold soley for a male-audience with far too much time on their hands. Richard figured the torch he found would last for a little while, it was better than nothing in the very least. So far, so good. And by good, Richard meant [color=#255DB3]"What the…"[/color], as he felt the ground shake. Either they had managed to pull off a subway-system in the middle of deserty nowhere, or something was going on down in those tunnels. Richard lit the torch as he took a few cautious steps into the darkness, cursing himself for not having brought his gun with him. If push came to show and that shake was anything serious, he would have to trust his quick wits and blackjack neatly tucked under his jacket. [color=#255DB3]"Ah Faye, there you are."[/color] Richard responded quietly to his more or less unwilling partner when he heard her familiar voice, though he turned around to give her a serious, almost stern look at she went off on explaining all she found out. The joking she made didn't help his mood either. At the end of her briefing about the crazy goat, goat lady and how animals didn't attack without provokation, Richard sushed her down and nodded in agreement. [color=#255DB3]"Well, good you figured that out…Think it was on purpose, 'cause I found something too?. Footprints. Someone calmly walked into this tunnel while all Hell broke loose back there. Someone's in here, and something caused a good shake here just before you arrived."[/color] Richard explained to Faye in a hushed voice, holding the torch in front of him as he carefully began to make his way further into the darkness. [color=#255DB3]"Come on, we might just find some god damned answers for once."[/color] [hider=Roll request for Richard] Characters current location: Athribis, underground Characters attempted actions: Richard is going to follow the footprints down the tunnel in an attempt to find whoever stepped inside.
