Going down

[Yuthirin]

"Obviously it's something stronger than that! Think about his behavior. Is this normal? Because it's not normal to me!"

[Anastasia]

"It's not normal," Miranda frowns, "Yet I feel like we should go, shouldn't we, Calleigh?"

[Yuthirin]

"No! And you should be upset you feel that way! And you're not! And that should make you upset too! Something is controlling your minds!"

[Anastasia]

"It's better if we go," Miranda says, starting to follow the others.

[Yuthirin]

"Why?"

[Anastasia]

Miranda's answer is to keep going.

[Yuthirin]

"Hey!" Calleigh shouts as the group heads away, "If you don't get back here I'll be forced to take drastic measures!"

[Anastasia]

No response from any of them.

Tryll's free to reply if he would like, but the NPCs are not.

[Yuthirin]

'Calleigh, we really should get-'

"I WILL SING THE SONG!" Calleigh shouts. Tryll stops, now thoroughly distracted.

'...you wouldn't dare.'

"I'm gonna break the promise and sing it! Don't think I won't! Get back here!"

'We both agreed the song is banned for a reason, Calleigh. You promised not to sing it anymore. I promised not to ask you to sing it anymore. That one guy begged you not to sing it anymore. The king of...whatever. I think he wanted us to just leave, actually. Quite rude. It's not our fault his dinner party thing was ruined. To be honest, nobody really wanted to marry his daughter. Certainly not the boy they were tring to pin her to. Poor lad. We did him a favor, really. She looked like a fish. She had fish face. Temperament to match, really. Just a really unpleasant girl. Have you ever seen a fish walk on two legs? That's what it was like. Cold. Unblinking. Unnerving. With these giant lips that took up half her fa-'

Calleigh, undaunted by Tryll's attempt to disuade her, takes a loud and deep breath.

'Alright! Alright. I'll come back! Just don't start the song. We might get smitten. Smited. Smit? Whatever.' Tryll returns to Calleigh. 'Are you happy now? What exactly do you want?' Tryll asks.

"I want you to go try again!" Calleigh retorts.

'Alright, well there's nothing there and it's obviously a complete waste of time. I'll tell you what. I'll go again and when I've found nothing, again, we'll leave. If I DO find something, we'll stay. Otherwwise, let's go. Deal?' Tryll is very confident nothing will be found, it is plain to see.

"...fine. But you gotta really really really TRY okay? No funny business!"

'Yes, yes, of course. Dana, Miranda, Benyen, would you please assist me in humoring Calleigh by not leaving the area? We wouldn't want to get separated.'

[Anastasia]

"It's your waste of time," Dana says, uncaring.

"Why not, it's not like we're on a schedule," Benyen says.

[Yuthirin]

'Thank you. Calleigh, you stay here and-'

"Nope uh uh I'm going with you this time! Whatever hit you got everyone else but missed me and I dunno why. Maybe I'm immune or lucky. Either way, I'm backing you up."

'...very well. Let's go.' And off the pair goes through the rocks.

[Anastasia]

Thus the two of you go in.

The sense of sorrow gets stronger as you go onward.

You should turn around. You don't belong here. Let the dead mourn.

Some things shouldn't be remembered, should they?

[Yuthirin]

"Yep yep same as before blah blah GET LOST SADNESS HERE COMES CALLEIGH!"

[Anastasia]

Will saves, you two.
