When at last it seemed everyone had finished their tasks and upgrades, Cait summoned everyone’s attention with a resounding clap of her hands. The noise was enough of a bark to catch people’s attention and by the way Cait wrung her hands about, she didn’t expect that much force behind her blows anyway. [color=7bcdc8]“Alright people, break time’s over. It’s time for the next Floor~”[/color] Much like before, she directed the group towards the billboard of jobs to take, two scrolls plastered onto them with thumbtacks as usual. One looked familiar enough.

[color=ed1c24][center][i][b]Crimson Pact: Survive the dangers of the supernatural and others who dwell in the darkness. Voyage the unbound castles if you dare or choose to scurry among the local life instead. Bring back valuable items or defeat bosses for prizes! Be wary of the red moon.[/b][/i][/center][/color]

[color=7bcdc8]“Technically nobody actually beat it,”[/color] Cait called out, knowing someone would question why this Floor was still there. It was much unlike the other parchment, one that hung almost soggily as if it had been drenched in sea water before being laid out to dry under the sun. Blackish blue ink sprawled lazily on its text like festering oils drooling down its surface to the bottom.

[color=slateblue][center][i][b]Grimmest Grotto: Darkness waits at the bottom of the depths. The surface holds the dying world set on a timer to doom. Gather what you will of treasures if you must. There is only one goal in this wretched place: Survive to the end.[/b][/i][/center][/color] 

Cait shrugged. [color=7bcdc8]“I don’t write these descriptions. I leave that job to the interns.”[/color] With that said, the cat took her place back to the bar, probably to polish glasses-no, there she went, making herself a stiff drink. While the others talked amongst themselves of which Floor to choose and which scroll to pick, the familiar [url=https://i.imgur.com/jIHG4SI.jpg]face[/url] who saw them off on their last departure was back in her spot upstairs.

Katie watched the others just as she did before, leaning over the rails. [color=indianred]“You know, there’s a clue in there somewhere,”[/color] she couldn’t help but call out. If anyone bothered to pay attention to her, she’d simply point over to the empty shop stand parallel to Emilia’s. Indeed, it was still lacking an operator and at this point, slowly collecting dust. [color=indianred]“Just a hunch, but if you found Emilia in one Floor, wouldn’t you find the other keep in a Floor too?”[/color]
