Mahendra included, high on the list alongside the Lord Major he presumed. Mahendra did not feel the time to respond to Gene's outburst, but he was still feeling less inclinded to liking the honourable Miss Benaszewski. Was he not allowed to state he was a fool to the cosmos, to the supernatural and whatnot? Alternatively he could have apologized for his ignorance from earlier on, but with Gene's behaviour acting out the way it did, he'd rather do such later. Focusing forwards with Nora instead of the commotion behind him, Mahendra was about to call out for their lost companion as well…until someone else raised their voices… [Color=007236]"By the Gods…."[/color] Richard took a little more interest in the non-marital spat that was taking place in the rear, but only because he was so used to it that it only reminded him of himself and his ex-wife Beatrice when their arguments got heated. He quickly pushed the nostalgia away and looked instead at the Faye as she brandished a knife. Well it was something in the very least, better than nothing he supposed. Richard let out a sigh, nodding to Faye as they kept on going. Witches and brimstone, to Richard this was sounding more and more like a trial at Salem. All he could agree on was that they should find this Bella-doll as soon as possible, and get their bums out of dodge. Richard surpressed the urge to ask Faye, and everyone else in general, who "They" would be, if someone was trying to pull a ventriloquist-act on them. Then the voices kicked in. Mahendra raised his head and perked his ears at the sound of voices, recognizing the words rather than the voices. [Color=007236]"Vera, Lady Munn?"[/color] Mahendra asked no one in particular, giving his fellow companions a look of confusion upon hearing this. This was beyond explaination, like everything else that was happening around them. Did this mean they were getting closer to Belladonna? Mahendra looked over to Nora as the very fabric of a world bound by laws of physics or Divine order seemingly broke down around them for every step they took, then looking ahead. They had to keep going, just keep going deeper. But where? Mahendra couldn't make heads and tails of their directions, his mind too preoccupied with staying level-headed. [Color=007236]"We must keep moving forward, less we desire to fall into more trouble."[/color] [Color=#255DB3]"Okay…Just great, now we've got Frank Byron and The Great Lester stuck down here with us. "[/color] Richard commented on the situation, now starting to feel less comfortable with the fact that nothing was throwing itself at them. This wasn't just something dangerous surrounding them. It felt as if whatever was going on, it was either enveloping them slowly and/or simply observing them, mocking them. [Color=#255DB3]"Faye, just what the hell is going on? Something, anything."[/color] Richard asked Faye, not turning to look at her but still looking around, ready for the attack that seemingly never came. Just what kind of moonshine-incuded hellscape were they going through? [hider=Roll Request - Richard] Characters current location: Athribis underground, following the group.
