[ OUR BLUE ]

Maybe! I think that Siff dreamt of the pit, so when we saw it, it made sense to go there. Though we got a little separated. The others can tell you more about what we saw.

Do you know anything about an extremely rude door?

[batterypack]

[ a pause. ]

You didn't open it, did you?

[noirges]

No, it was extremely mean.

[batterypack]

Yves, focus. [ this is so funny he really just said no because the door was mean. ] You cannot go back there. That door is to remain closed. Keep the third sleeper asleep.

[noirges]

What would happen if we opened it?

We'll obviously follow your instructions but what's the outcome we're avoiding?

[batterypack]

Something... has been growing behind that door. I don't know what it is, but it should stay behind it. But it will try to lure anyone into opening it and awakening it. And to awaken it would bring ruin.

[noirges]

Don't worry, it's really not that convincing.

[ tell that to siff you little shit ]

[batterypack]

[ TRULY. ]

Are you all alright?

[noirges]

I'm okay, thanks for asking. I even got a new friend.

I'm just a little worried about the others since we got separated, but they seem okay.

[batterypack]

As long as you're sure. [ worry... ] While you went off on a grand adventure, I found another point of entry. I didn't find anything though, but I didn't stay long. Instead, I think we may need to turn our search a little further out? The lines... stretch pretty far.

[noirges]

So... further in? Do you know if we should try to stay aboveground or go under?

[batterypack]

Further out, Yves. Like further out of town. I'm looking into some things, but you may find them faster.

The tomb is bound to be underground though. Closer to the ley line.

[noirges]

Oh. So... not Cabeswater?

[batterypack]

Not Cabeswater. Maybe we were wrong about where he lies.

[noirges]

Alright...

Do we have any leads on where else? I guess I can go check tonight while everyone's resting.

[batterypack]

You could, but I don't know that it would do any good to go tonight. It's not exactly close.

[noirges]

Oh, right.

Ghosts can't drive.

[batterypack]

... yes. That is definitely the main issue here. [ and not that you shouldn't go alone!!! maybe!!! ]

[noirges]

[ :pleading_face: ]

So we'll go tomorrow? Where are we heading? Do you know?

[batterypack]

Give me time, I need to check a few more things. It may not be right away tomorrow, or tomorrow at all. But we should go soon.

[noirges]

Gotcha. You need anything from us? You doing okay?

[batterypack]

For now, everything's fine. Mom and I are dealing with a few things, and Artemus is unhelpful as usual. [ you will know artemus is her recently found father. as in they located him recently. ] I'll try to ask him again for more information, too, and call back.

Just stay out of trouble in the meantime?

[noirges]

Mm, okay! Good luck. Give us a call if we can help with anything, too.

We'll just rest for the night so... see you?

[batterypack]

Sounds good. We'll talk later.

[ and she'll hang up until one of you bozos inevitably call back, or she has more information. ]
