Cataclysmic Caverns [Closed]

[Nicky]

Nicky stood at the opening to a cavern, a level one dungeon known to most everyone in the "game." She'd been there a few minutes, steeling her courage, doing her best to try and ready herself for the dungeon. Though she was absolutely terrified. She sighed and turned around, "Maybe I'll be able to work through it tomorrow... Trying to solo a dungeon is really really dangerous. And those rumors about losing your memories when you die..." She shudders, "I've got too many great memories to forget them now..." She steels herself and sheathes her swords, "I'll just kill s'more boars or something..." She takes a few steps away from opening and looked back, indecision running rampant through her mind.

He had been watching her from the shadows for awhile now, his body unmoving as he pressed himself tightly against the nearby tree. The young girl in front of him stood there motionless and seemed to be talking to herself. From what he could understand she wasn't thinking that entering into the dungeon by herself was going to be a good idea. Takato watched as she turned herself around and began to move away from the large opening. Her feet stopped and Takato gave a roll of his eyes. His arms folded against his chest as he waited for her to finally make up her mind. It didn't seem like it was going to come anytime soon, and because of that he figured it was time to make himself known. He stepped out slowly from the shadows his figure surely had to be slightly imposing. He was dressed to kill and the look in his eyes certainly didn't help make him seem less threatening. "Just walk inside." his voice was rough, and it held little signs of care within it. "You're not going to get anywhere if you don't at least try." his arms unfolded and he began to move.

While at first it surely seemed like he was walking up to the girl, he merely walked right by her and without saying anything else motioned for her to follow him. That had to be a clear enough sign that he'd be willing to help her handle this dungeon. He didn't like the idea of working with someone else, but for the moment it was the best course of action. He was level one as well, despite how much he wanted to act like he wasn't. They'd get things done much easier working together than alone. While he thought this actually putting it into words was something that wasn't ever going to happen.

His actions surprised her, causing her to stop for a moment before going after him. Why's he helping me? I've never spoken to him and he seems like some one who wouldn't like to help random people often... Maybe he.... no no that's not it... She drew her blades and followed. 

The dungeon was dark with a scattering of torches keeping the room visible. Initially were a set of sunken uneven stairs, leading down beneath the earth. The sound of dripping water repeated in the distance, other sounds could be heard, not very loudly but you could almost make out the sounds of an old machine squeaking. Like a toy robot with rusted joints. "D'you hear that? It's creeping me out..." She walked a bit more rigidly, honestly scared of what was to come. Though her movements were becoming rigid her stance and poise screamed she was ready for anything.
