☆50☆ [Audio]

[tearsofademon]

[Today's brief audio message is brought to you by a 'gear that appears to have accidentally been turned on inside a bag or something. There is the sound of frantic running, and also the sound of lots of flapping of wings and... Zubat cries. At least two dozen of them.

Oh dear.]

Dammit Rose, this is why I told you to leave them alone!

["Clef clefairy!"]

No, you can't just knock them all out with Thunderbolt, and you already know why!

[...well, I wonder what a certain lazy mage is doing in a cave, of all places. And in trouble with a horde of Zubats, by the sound of it.

Then Sion's voice comes up on the recording. This probably doesn't come as much surprise, really.]

Well, we should still do something about this.... Dusk, try to warn them off with Flamethrower!

[and then there is the sound of an Absol breathing fire before the recording ends.]

*...that really wasn't of much help, was it?*

[tearsofademon]

[...nope, it just made them madder, really...]

[dreamsofahero]

*well at least he's TRYING....*

[tearsofademon]

[Hey, fleeing in the opposite direction is a perfectly valid strategy here :|b]

[dreamsofahero]

*yes but it's so ineffective! but whatever if we can't scare them off.... :/*

[tearsofademon]

[It was probably an attack of Rose's that got them riled up to begin with, so.

Though, either way, all this running has to eventually lead to some water that can be jumped into until they go away.]

[dreamsofahero]

*yeah sooner or later there's the cave entrance and then it's just a nice short hop into the waves~*

[tearsofademon]

[And hiding underneath them long enough, the Zubats will end up getting bored and/or distracted and flying off harmlessly.]

[dreamsofahero]

*hooray for holding one's breath?*

[tearsofademon]

[something like that

eventually peeking up out of the water enough to check that they're gone, then coming up for air and tugging on your sleeve to make sure you know it's safe to come up too]

[dreamsofahero]

*yeah totally gasping for breath as soon as he surfaces*

[tearsofademon]

[well we can pretty much sit here for a moment and both catch our breaths, then]

[dreamsofahero]

*sounds like a plan :|b*

[tearsofademon]

[Eventually, when his breathing calms down, Ryner turns to give Rose a Look.]

Rose, how many times have I asked you not to do that kind of thing?

["Clef clefairy clef!" It was either that or fight them all one by one anyway!]

[dreamsofahero]

Well, I suppose we'll have to just try another cave for now...

[tearsofademon]

I guess. At least until they forget about us, anyway. Haaa, this kind of sucks...

[dreamsofahero]

To put it mildly.

*they now have to walk around in soaking wet clothes, after all*

[tearsofademon]

[well they probably have extras in a bag somewhere... granted they may or may not be soaked as well now but]

Well, anyway, guess we should try a different one, huh.

[dreamsofahero]

I don't think we really have much choice in the matter, unless you want to try to fight all of them...

[tearsofademon]

I'd rather not, even if Rose might argue otherwise.

Your pick, which one we try next.

[dreamsofahero]

*nods*

I believe I saw another cave entrance a bit further down the coast of this island...

*starts walking off as he talks...*

[tearsofademon]

[following!]

Works for me.

[dreamsofahero]

*exploring another cave it is! ....they'll come back to the zubat one later once said zubat have had time to calm down again.....

[tearsofademon]

[That'll probably take a few days, not that they haven't carved out time for that.]

[dreamsofahero]

*indeed! so fast forward to a couple days later....*
