[ Well, that's something Siffrin won't argue on, nodding in agreement. Though he's a little worried for Yves, too. Why did two of them get flippen blasted while one was a nerd and the other was dreaming of holes.
But it's a plan. Warehouse first, let Jiaoqiu and Yves have a bit of time to recover, then see about making their way out. ]
..Okay.

[ you pile into marcoh's shitty, ugly orange camaro, and miraculously you do not die on the way back to your gay little warehouse. you stop for pizza first, and yves stares longingly while you all scarf down an after school snack. not long after, you arrive to the warehouse and climb up to the second floor, being greeted by the sight of...
... a mess? your bedroom doors are flung open, and marcoh's desk in the living room has been upturned. trash cans have been emptied, and bedding has been ransacked. your closets are open, etc. someone has been here, and they were looking for something.
but it's fine. you don't really need to think about this right now. you're able to change your clothes (let jiaoqiu borrow some things, maybe, let him be dry) and you're also able to grab a few gadgets. an emf reader, a compass, some helmets with flashlights, ropes, the sort of things you might need to explore a cavern. chainsaw, the raven, flutters in agitation before she soars to land on siffrin's shoulder, nuzzling at their chin.
you pile your way back into the car. you drive, knowing where the entrance to cabeswater is, and when you park the car in the middle of a field you follow the oyster-shelled walkway onward. you know where to look, following the tiny stream at the edge of the field, near a cluster of trees. it's hardly a stream, more like water soaking up the grass, but following it leads you right between two dogwood trees. walking ahead, you disappear into the grove and the temperature around you drops. but you aren't worried. occasionally you hear birdsong in the canopy and all around you tower massive oak and ash trees among slabs of cracked stone. there are ferns and moss growing everywhere, and golden light filters through to mingle with the scent of greenery and water. you hear water splashing, and the further you walk the trees begin to expand even higher and higher.
they whisper their greetings to you all.
where would you like to go? you can try to follow the source of water, or you can try to let siffrin lead you to where the cavern is, or you can try to converse with the trees? you can do none of these things and simply explore as well. ]

[ NIGHTMARE. THEIR GAY LITTLE WAREHOUSE. WHAT DID WE DO TO DESERVE HATE CRIME?
Well good thing nothing was stolen because that'd suck. Also very good to see that Chainsaw is unharmed... feeds her a little crumb in passing. Jiaoqiu has a choice of either spare Marcoh socks or spare Siffrin socks... and an outfit in general Marcoh would give him an allowance, his apparently poor blorbo.
He's grumbling as they gather their gadgets, making sure none of these are destroyed... also changing out into a post-school outfit, can't believe I almost forgot the fit. ]
I think shop will close soon. I will look into a new lock tomorrow.

[ (lowe voice) ransacked like we live in LA
Siffrin's steps are slow as they take in the m e s s, at most it looks like they were just searching for something so it could have been worse. But they stand around, staring at a spot for a bit long, distracted but they perk to attention at the sound of Chainsaw. Welcoming her and fussing just a little to check her over, she's fine? Unharmed? Good. Fingers gently soothe beneath her beak as she nuzzles under them, cradling the raven just a little close. Whew... remembering to breathe in, and out.
But whatever stupor they were in is gone, shuffling and offering any of his wardrobe available for Jiaoqiu just as Marcoh offers. But he'd probably have better luck with the taller man and not this short sized enby. No fit link for me as Siffrin changes to something more comfortable and loose. With a white coat to cover up in.
There's no verbal reply, just a quiet nod as they try to gather some more of their things. Snatching up their bag to help fill some of their things in. ] ..Anything else we need?

[ as a note jiaoqiu is like very unwilling to borrow a whole outfit. in fact, if you insist, he gets mad about it and like. leaves the room, only to come back in a ratty sweater that his expression dares you to say anything about. he'll take socks, though, he doesn't care from who. maybe he takes one marcoh sock and one siffrin sock. he's just borrowing them, he'll wash them and give them back later.
anyway the gay little warehouse was not mentioned in my backstory but i'm gonna assume i have some stuff here or a place to store stuff so: ]
None of my things are missing.
[ shoves his cards in his hoodie pocket, and glances at the others. ]
I don't need anything else.

[ our gay BIG warehouse truly is in a state and gives is trying to focus so that he can actually interact with things, gently sprucing things up as he goes and just generally fussing. he frowns, because he has no belongings, but his friends do! damn man this sucks! can't believe LA hit us like this ]
Don't forget water? Um, snacks?
[ what do living people need for exploring, he hasn't been alive in so long ]

[ Oh I see... you are that kind of bottom Jiaoqiu... he will not push. So funny for him to have one too-big sock and one too-small sock. At least socks are flexible in sizing and stretchy I guess. ]
We'll bring water, yeah.
[ And snaccies... second trip to a convenience store en route? Anyway get into my ugly-ass car kids we're going on a road trip. Makes sure the doors and windows are DEFINITELY LOCKED!!! Just in case.
He will distribute the items amongst everybody... you each get a helmet with a flashlight, and a length of rope, those that can hold it anyway. Who wants the EMF Reader and Compass... sorry Yves your ghosty hands... stay close buddy.
At the woods he puts a hand lightly on a tree as they pass into the Zone, offering a quiet 'good evening' to them. We are the Loraxes. Marcoh is trying to focus on where the ley lines start, while also glancing back at the others. ]
Do you remember which way you had wandered, Yves?
[ Figures... maybe... they don't go down that way again? Unless... Leaves Siffrin to think about holes. ]

[ Siffrin thinks the ratty sweater is nice actually, looks comfy! Also supports the one Marcoh sock and one Siffrin sock agenda. Cute cute. They will mostly distract themselves by listening to Yves' suggestions. Water and snacks are good. Along with what they need for cave explorations, which they seem to have most of their gizmos and gadgets and helpful tools added in.
Will leave the doublechecking of locks to Marcoh, not seemingly as worried about it as they secure their stuff in the ugly ass orange camaro. ..Part of them wants to say something, but they end up not following through.
It's fine, onto the woods after item distribution! Siffrin will hold onto anything they need him to, but otherwise they'll gently pet Chainsaw's feathers. How she's feeling for a little look around? Get a bird's eye view.
Otherwise, will gently greet the woods as well, we are the Loraxes! A gentle headbump to a tree, hello friend. Would you be able to help them find the way? Sparing a glance to the others as they take a breather. ]

[ it's not like i can argue this bottom assignment
anyway, the trip on the way means jiaoqiu gets himself snacks and water, which he shoves into his infinite hoodie pocket. he'll take the compass, if nobody else wants it, but he's not too insistent on it.
walking into the woods means that he's more quiet than normal. he runs his fingers along the bark of the trees, and as they're getting their bearings, he's going to look for the source of the water. he doesn't say anything to the trees other than hello, just yet. is the water always here, or is that new? either way he's thinking about it, because of what it did to his arch-nemesis in the bathroom earlier.
any Rude Shadows hanging around anywhere? he's looking for anything that might lead to why the forest was delayed. ]

[ he's just gonna stick close it's fine. yves doesn't need anything, but he looks after everyone else. he can hold a few things, but overall he doesn't think that he's as dire in need of resources compared to those still living. it's easier for him to make himself useful like this.
he nods his head and bows slightly to the trees, our friends, but he doesn't touch them because he feels as though his chill won't be very welcome. when marcoh speaks, he looks around and tries to remember. ]
It was... past a few blooms, and then eventually the leaves began to fall away. I think it felt like the seasons were changing, and it was toward... that direction.
[ he'll pout in one way, but then start to look a little worried about it like he's not sure if that's even the case anymore. ]
I think the ley lines are making this place harder to place, so we should all try to be careful.

[ the trees whisper a hello, the leaves swaying briefly and otherwise just comfortably allowing them into their space.
chainsaw is allowed to go fly off. she immediately pecks at siffrin's shoulder affectionately (probably) before she hops and soars off. she appears to be heading onward and straight past a different cluster of trees, further in the woods. you may follow her, or you may wait for her to return. the area she ventured into appears dark.
as jiaoqiu wanders, he'll find that the water is always here, but it's comforting in a sense. he finds himself walking by a large, towerng beech tree and he's able to see the shore of a mountain pool, a stream flowing away from it and back the direction they came. the water here is usually so transparent, but currently it's a little murky. it's a few inches deep, and if he touches it thousands of tiny fish disperse, clearing the water again as they fade from silver to gold to red. the fish seem confused, actually, almost like they're swimming in a loop. more unnatural than usual.
there are no rude shadows, though the trees do whisper questions around them.
"What took you…?"
is that to him, or themselves?
yves will find himself starting to solidify a little more, at least. being on the ley line directly he has more energy he can draw from, and he's able to have a little more warmth and color now that he's here and not being pulled to his place of death. the trees will keep him here with his friends…. safe… ]
