☾ SECHS

[hentanuki.livejournal.com]

[Unlike how Hayate typically wears ordinary clothes--such as whatever she could find of her own or make use of from the Necessities--she is now garbed in something very, very different: a black armored dress; in her right hand is a long staff with a cross at the end sharpened into several sword-like blades, in her left is a heavy tome with unreadable runes, and on her back were three pairs of large black wings.]

Right, not that no one saw this coming, but it seems we've got a new problem on our hands. I'm sure a lot of you already stumbled across them what with all the caves and signs popping up, but a bunch of cave entrances seem to have popped up here and there over the last few days. This might or might not have anythin' to do with the Queen talking about dungeons...

...Anyway, as you'd probably guess, they're filled with monsters. So! Please stay out of them. Not that I can stop anyone that wants to ignore me, but it's worth a shot. If you really do want to explore 'em, I suggest we work together. Being in at least pairs together should work, but don't let your guard down and definitely don't split up.

Fate, Nanoha, Vita, Signum, Vivio. Seems like it's time to get back to work. If others want to explore, too, you guys should split up and find others to help out; I know all of you can take care of yourselves, so pairing you guys up would be a waste.

I'll stay back and do my command thing. I'll be in the way otherwise.

Alright. I'll make sure to check in periodically, so if you don't hear back from us after a while...

[mellifluently.livejournal.com]

I'll try to avoid the caves then, thank you for the warning. Are you going to go inside?

[hentanuki.livejournal.com]

I-If I don't turn out to be dead weight, yeah.

[hentanuki.livejournal.com]

Hold it. Weren't you sick a while ago? You sure you're okay enough for this?

[hentanuki.livejournal.com]

No idea yet. We'll have to find out.

[gun-cata.livejournal.com]

I'll stay out until then, I guess.

[thunder-ace.livejournal.com]

Y-Yes, I'm completely fine! I have been for the past few days now.

[hentanuki.livejournal.com]

You can try tagging along with someone else. So long as you know when t'get out if things aren't going well...

[hentanuki.livejournal.com]

...Really now. That was a quick recuperation. But Nanoha was around, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

[gun-cata.livejournal.com]

Someone tough then... any suggestions?

[thunder-ace.livejournal.com]

Geez, not you too... Signum already teased me about that. [Siiigh...]

But I promise, I'm fine. Do you really think Nanoha would let me go out if I wasn't?

[starlightace]

There's really only one way to find out for sure, isn't there.

[mellifluently.livejournal.com]

Why would you be dead weight? You sound very capable.

[hentanuki.livejournal.com]

Try to hold back a little bit, okay?

[hentanuki.livejournal.com]

Good point.

...You milked it, I bet.

[thunder-ace.livejournal.com]

... Maybe just a little.

[starlightace]

Come on, Hayate-chan. You know me.

[hentanuki.livejournal.com]

That's good! Considerin' how you're always off on your job, this is a good time to catch up on...things.

[hentanuki.livejournal.com]

That's exactly what I said that.

[starlightace]

So little faith in me.

[thunder-ace.livejournal.com]

[Don't you just love how quickly Fate's face can turn completely red, Hayate?]

H-Hayate! Get your mind out of the gutter...

[hentanuki.livejournal.com]

You jumped t'that conclusion all by yourself, Fate-chan. But there's nothing wrong with that; it's normal.

Unless the two of you...

[hentanuki.livejournal.com]

Trust me, faith in you isn't what's lacking.

[hentanuki.livejournal.com]

I could spare one of my kids. They can take care of themselves better than anyone.

[hentanuki.livejournal.com]

Thanks, but my strengths aren't that useful for adventuring.
