What should we call it—It was the Tower all along?"[/color] Emilia said when Annabel came back offering nothing but hugs and kisses. Nevertheless, the alchemist — or perhaps witch? — returned the gesture with a knowing look in her eyes.

That night the shopkeeper duo would be nowhere to be seen. Nevertheless, they would be back the following morning, just before the adventurers departed.

Emilia was indeed back to her passive demeanor, looking every bit as much like a fine doll, attending her store with an indecipherable smile on her lips. Of course, if anyone were to approach her, she would be more than willing to do any last-minute business.

After all, what could be worse than reaching into a new floor — a new world — while unprepared?

Maybe it's my lucky day, finally,"[/color] Clair said as she came down the stairs the next mornign, noticing the utter lack of anyone but the shopkeeper duo. [color=gold]"Finders keepers, right?"[/color] she said reaching for some ice cream behind the counter, after making sure Kit Kat was nowhere to be seen.

[color=gold]"So, it's gonna be this one, huh? Maybe I should get a new card. That Tiger girl from before would be a good addition, probably,"[/color] Clair said to herself as she looked at her lonely couple of cards before going to Emilia's place, looking for another partner to procure.

By the time everyone arrived and they departed on their exploration Clair was already all decked out and ready to rumble.

Their arrival to the world of the murky depths might not have been the most gracious one. However, Clair didn't let that shake her spirits even if the frigid water soaked her to the bone.

[color=gold]"Ok, while we decide on a road to follow, or if we will split again like last time, you can gimme a hand here, Aria,"[/color] Clair said as she pulled Aria's card and summoned a magical gust of wind to dry herself up while waiting for the opinions of the others.

[color=gold]"By the way, is it just me, or does this place smell kinda... fishy?"[/color]
