"Not really... It's the opposite. Everything's inside and powered with electricity... You have to see it to believe it" Kami tried not to look too freaked out by it.

 "Huh..." Six didn't really know what to think of that, it was hard to imagine, "But why? What do they do there? Why'd Bristan even go?"

"He wants to work with science he said..." Oukami shrugged."It... backfired a bit, you could say"

 "Science, huh? Well whatever..." It all sounded too weird for her, "Whatever made him think a place like that was a good idea is waaay beyond me, it must be a human thing!"

"It's what he wants to do... Humans have technology the same way we have magic" Oukami explained to her."You've never met one, have you?"

 "Nope!" Six said, seeming to forget she'd already told him this, "...Y'know what, this is getting us nowhere." Six lifted the mirror once more and took a look, no orbs in sight. "...Here, let me down, uh, I'm gonna go check the other path on my own. You keep looking down here!" The dysadin girl asserted, squirming a bit to be let down.

"All right, I'll carry on along here?" Oukami offered, letting her down gently."I'll meet you back at the fork in half an hour"

 Six gave Kami a cheerful smack on the back before turning and running off back the way she'd come, calling "Yeah! Holler if something happens and I'll come find you!"

"You too" Oukami smiled, and plodded along, keeping his eyes peeled.

 It took a few minutes but she did eventually find her way back, glancing around before running down the right path. She paused to hold up the mirror, letting out a delighted whoop when she saw the orbs were back and then barreling onwards. She jogged down the gradual sloping tunnel, finding the lighting getting dimmer and thinking nothing of it. Still, this was proving quite slow. After a pause to consider, she held her hand out. A thin but effective layer of ice started out before her on a narrow path and she hopped on, much happier to be speeding along. As Kami's progress lead him onwards, he'd hear the faint chiming of a bell, and if he looked twice he might see a curious opening in one of the walls, as if new. It was covered in green vines and foliage, as if a small reprise from the otherwise barren underground tunnel.

Oukami's head whipped around as he heard the bell tolling, and he stopped, seeing the opening. Curiosity piqued and taking it to be a sign, he manipulated the vines to move to the side, and poked his head through the opening.

Inside the alcove was covered with foliage, even the ground seemed to have a thin layer of soft grass. A small pool of water had formed like a miniature pond on one side, and the entire place felt warm and comforting and alive. As he looked around he'd also notice something like a tree growing out of one of the walls, several very tempting-looking fruits hanging from it's branches.

Kami walked in properly, immediately comforted by the smell of fresh plants and forests, his brown eyes wide with the shock of there being somewhere like this so close to that dark and dreary place. He walked over to the tree and examined the fruits, suspiciously pulling one from its branches before giving it a sniff. When he determined that it was safe, he bit into it.

As if on cue the lush of the world around him seemed to begin to disintegrate, shimmering, though he'd hardly have had time to notice as a feeling much like being choked overtook him. Somewhere distantly a chime could be heard again, as well as strangely musical giggling.Meanwhile, Six had heard something curious as well. Having to come to a sudden stop, she let the ice stop forming and staggered a bit as she hit normal ground again, stumbling and only managing to just catch herself against the tunnel wall. With a relieved "Phew!" she looked around, wondering what that sound had been. Deciding to check the mirror again, she lifted it up and then gave a horrified yelp when instead of being met with orbs she saw ghostly words forming: Hello Six

"Six?!!" Oukami managed to choke, trying unsuccessfully to gasp for air, and falling down to his knees. The room swam around him as he became increasingly dizzy, before he passed out.
