[trap_factory]

[he'd been going through field after field, pretty much slaying everything in sight. This was frustrating beyond belief. After all that work previously to get strong once again (but for what?) he'd only found himself here at half strength. Half. Prometheus was used to hardship - was conditioned to expect it and deal it out - but this was ridiculous. Being forced into this sort of position again... What a scam.

So he'd punch in keywords at random, only to scoff at his results. ΔUnseeing Heretic's Camellia? He'd like to cut the moderators to ribbons once he got the chance.

But ha, the last time they did something like that, hadn't ended terribly for him and his sister?

Speaking of his sister...]

[and with a flick of his wrist, Prometheus pockets his Relic after sending that message to his sister. Well, nothing like working out frustration by slaughtering monsters]



[ooc: Cave Dungeon! And so people don't have to worry, there will be no attempts at PKing in this post. 8( He's still doing 'reconnaissance' and trying to get his levels back to par]

[Ryusei is somewhere in the hallway between areas talking, almost shouting, into a tiny blue object in his hand. Some of the things he says are audible while the others not so much.]

Tachibana-sa.....respond! Th.s....M...or....... resp......Wh....situation....Horosco.....Tachiba......respond!...Ple...... Tachibana-san!

[trap_factory]

[Prometheus stops when he hears the shouting. Listening quietly and patiently (which wasn't unusual, just different from his usual portrayal of himself), waiting for a time to appear because-

...

A Biometal? But Model X was in that child's hands though, and he'd never heard of the name 'Tachibana' in any of his briefings]

Hey! [he decides to feign innocence and ignorance, but the slightly mad glint in his eyes cannot be hidden so easily] I didn't think that I'd find anyone here.

[minetodecide]

[He didn't think he'd fine someone here too. He quickly tucks away what he was holding back into his relic, then turns to Prometheus.]

Who are you?

[trap_factory]

[red eyes narrow momentarily in frustration. Dammit, this would be easier if he was a Reploid and not some weak human--!]

The name's Prometheus. Thought I'd come out to try my hand at some dungeons. S'been a while... Was a bit worried I'd be out of practice.

Am I intruding? [what a laugh. As if Prometheus cared about interrupting someone]

[minetodecide]

[Ryusei eyes Prometheus from top to bottom, carefully studying him. Something about him was setting off warning bells in Ryusei's head but right now that was the least of his concerns. He wanted to confirm if Prometheus saw anything without revealing to much but...]

(No, if I ask he might just get curious. Best just leave now while I still can.)

No. I was....I was just about to leave.

[He starts to walk forward, keeping Prometheus within his line of sight.]

[trap_factory]

[Prometheus makes no move to stop Ryusei] That's too bad. A field like this is probably easier to go through with a party... And it doesn't look like my sister's gotten my message yet either.

Oh well... [Yes, Ryusei, leaving is indeed a very good idea even though you could easily overpower Prometheus at this point]

hello hello hello! ' v '

[trap_phantasm]

[let us interrupt this farewell by teleporting into Ryusei's path. Whoops-a-daisy]

Pardon my lateness, Prometheus...

[The small girl glances up at Ryusei, seemingly distracted by him-- gaze bored, but also vaguely.. penetrating. As if she's trying to analyze him in that brief moment before turning to Prometheus.]

...And my intrusion...

...There was something that I needed to find.

[minetodecide]

[Woah who the hell? The moment Pandora appeared, he stopped dead in his track. What's with her? Why is she staring at him so much?]

(No way, could she have--?!?)

[Warning bells in his head were going off. PK's? Thieves? Either way, Ryusei's exit was somehow stopped. Now he needed to confirm if they saw anything.]

[trap_factory]

Hey, sis! I was beginning to worry you'd missed my message all together. [his lips pull back in a smile that felt more feral than it had any right being]

But you should let the guy pass. It sounds like he's got something important to do.
