3rd Whistle [text]

[prototype_blues]

This may seem like an odd question, but it's something I am curious about and haven't found much information.

That and I haven't been in this city for that long. [A couple months isn't that long to some people, and normally Blues wouldn't think of it as a short time either but hey. Things are different here.]

I was wondering if anyone has actually been underneath the city?

While that's a good idea, since there won't be any locals to try and stop me, there is the problem of the creatures that are out during that time.

[Yeah, he's still gonna go on his own Mia. Even if you insist on going.]

[Good luck, Blues. Mia is extremely persistent and pushy - she did the same to Kite, and she has no qualms about sniffing you out and following you.]

Then it's settled. I'll be down there during that hour; make sure you catch up quickly, before I go too deep.

[Because you can't, in good conscience, let her wander in there herself, right?]

[Bad Mia, bad!]

I'm not going there right away!

[beautifulmemory]

I'm making the plans! You'll be there, I'm sure. Soon after the 13th hour starts. :)

I'll see you there. :)

[Text]

[prototype_blues]

No, you aren't and no you won't.

Alright, then I'll just go in by myself. They have an item that helps you escape battles, don't they? Hmm. I wonder if I need something like that at all... I'm sure it can't possibly be that dangerous.

[Text]

[prototype_blues]

Or you can not go and leave it to people who are more suited for what might be down there.

[Text]

[beautifulmemory]

Hmm...

No. :) I'm definitely going.

[Text]

[prototype_blues]

Fine then. If you get hurt that's your own fault.

[Dammit Mia, making him feel all concerned and crap. Not that what he just wrote conveys that.]

[Text]

[beautifulmemory]

I understand that.

[Oh, she knows. You're mad because you didn't want her to go along! But now she's sure that you're going to come, even if you do something silly like watch from afar.]

[nyxterious]

Underneath the city... ? There's something down there?

[prototype_blues]

According to some people, yes.

Or at least that's what I've found out, but it's just more "demons".

[nyxterious]

That's what I would expect to be down there. I would hope people wouldn't explore, if it was too dangerous. Though, knowing this place, people would want to anyway.

[prototype_blues]

And yet no one has. Surprisingly.

[nyxterious]

Oh! That is surprising. And a relief, really.

[prototype_blues]

Strikes me as a bit foolish to not have even made the attempt to explore it.

[maybe_a_king]

That's why you keep the group small, two or three at most. That way you have sufficient backup, but not enough people to attract attention.

[prototype_blues]

There's already too many coming, so stay out of it.

[Cause he knows that Mia will show up, he doesn't need more people to worry about.]

[nyxterious]

Really? Why do you say that?

[prototype_blues]

A... "hunch", one would say.

There's got to be something down there.

You mean there's an unexplored part here in the city? Can people go take a look? I'd bet there's all kinds of cool things under there! And new things to learn too!

[Text]

[prototype_blues]

[Oh please no, not scrolling text that's hard to read. Even for a robot like Blues.]

Yes, and I don't know if anyone can go down there but. I plan on trying.

[Text]

[genkibot]

[Don't worry, she can very the speed so it doesn't go too fast for Blues to read.]

Can I come! I love learning new things! We could gather so much data and share it with people so they know what's down there as well!!

[Text]

[prototype_blues]

[A pause before he writes up his reply.]

No.

[justanothermachine]

[Hoo boy. He knows that kind of bravado. Runs in the family, really.]

So I take it you're planning on going to see what's down there for yourself?
