Danaë would smile, as they were about to leave. He wanted them to leave their things here while they did the tour, fine then. Danaë knew what she had in her pack. Looking to Narx, "If you are still hungry, you can finish off my food." She would give him a wink. "Just don't eat their plates or Silverware, ok?" She would do something most wouldn't expect. She left her curved, ugly daggers on the table, laid out for anyone to see. This was another deception, as she had 20 throwing daggers scattered along her body. Some were in her hair, some were in her leggings, cleverly hidden. Some were even strapped to her torso. She would tie her coat around her waist. "Well, I'm certainly ready to go!" She would go to the door, waiting for the rest to follow her.
Danaë would hear Sass say she was from Vacuo. Thinking about it, Danaë would need to ask her about it. She had never been there herself, and maybe Sass would enjoy hearing about Menagerie. She didn't know why she would have a reason to go there, but she loved her homeland so much.
As soon as they went outside, Danaë could feel the coldness of the area. It wasn't physically cold, but the buildings and such left much to be desired in terms of design. It felt....dead. Her fathers would ruffle a little. It was ok, in the steam cloud. She was fine for now, but she had her coat if she needed it. "Bob" Was interesting. Last time she had seen any kind of bot like this, it was when they were betrayed in the volcano...She would keep an eye on it, as they moved.
Danaë would ooo, and ahhh, at all the items in the merchant's area. She would get close to the stalls, to see their reaction to the faunus. She found it odd to not have seen a faunus yet. She would look at the jewelry, seeing not a lot of what she liked. They would then get to the research building. She would nod her head towards the two at the front. She was seeing what they would do with 2 humans and 4 faunus. Especially since she had been lovey with one of the humans earlier.
Then the door to the mines were open, and she saw her first faunus. She would go over to Narx, and grab his hand, squeezing it tight, letting him know that she was angry, but wasn't showing it. "Will we be assigned jobs during our stay?" She had a smile on her face, but deep down, she was angry. If they had jobs, and the faunus were assigned to the mines, it would prove that they were only placing faunus in the mines.

Xanthe Shaw
While Xanthe had been quick to admit that they probably were poisoning the drinks, she was a little surprised to see everyone take some of the salad. It was probably stubbornness that compelled her to not eat anything given at this point rather than a lack of trust in the guard. The rest seemed to go along with the tour and Danae even went so far as to ask for a place to store their items, a part of her would have liked to have taken her pack off but a larger part of her psyche pointed out that's where the rations were and she was not to leave them unattended in a weird base. Seemed like a few of the others disapproved of the idea of relinquishing their items, it wasn't that unsurprising, who knew when they'd be allowed back. She ignored Narx telling her to enjoy herself, to be fair, her idea of fun largely consisted of carving her name into things and brawling, now didn't really seem like the place. Xanthe watched Sass as she spoke to the guard, it was nice that she had asked to keep her things, Xanthe was of the mind the mind that they'd have to pry her items out of her cold dead hands and even then she'd make it hard for them. When she said she was forgetful, she made a concerned face towards Pillbody. "She's new." As if that explained everything. She was happy to play along with the charade.
While she was fully intent on keeping her pack with her she couldn't help but agree taking everything probably wasn't a great idea. She unclipped the sleeping bag and placed it down, out of the way. She proceeded to follow the group into the city proper. While she had been keen to get out of the roaring fire in the room, the outside wasn't that much better. It wasn't freezing but it was muggy, she breathed in through her gills, yep, fog. Little to no chance of it clearing. "What's that?" She asked Ylva as Pillbody spoke to Bob. The tour moved on past the empty residential area, two thousand people all at work. She doubted it but wasn't about to kick off about it. The commercial district was busy, she followed along lingering briefly to watch the seamstress for a second, could do with more sealskin she thought as she jogged back to the group. More of those robots separated the commercial district and the research facility proper. One elevator ride and scroll scan later they found themselves on the precipice overlooking the mine. "Wondered when we'd see that famous Atleasian spirit rear it's ugly head." She spoke low for the benefit of the group and not Pillbody.

Narx was disappointed his new friend, Rin, refused to give him his drink, but he wouldn't push it. Negative thoughts were not worth giving time, but his brain would jump straight to the next thing without a second thought. Though he did think about how much he liked Rin. "You're too cool for school, Rin." He'd remark. He'd gladly finish off Danaë's food though. She was such a sweetheart, but he knew it was because she preferred meat. He'd make sure to give her some off his plate if they had meat in their next meal.
Ylva didn't approve of his comments. This grounded him for a moment. "It's called building rapport!" He'd smile lazily. "It's the fun part of making friends! Like flirting, but platonic." That was a big word for him. His vocabulary wasn't what it once was. He'd turn to Danaë and wink at her. To show some non-platonic flirting. He just adored her. And nothing in this world would ever stop him. He'd snuggle her a little more. Clearly tired from all the bantering.
Before they knew it, Pillbody was taking them on a tour. He would have taken him up on the offer to leave stuff, but he was too focused on Danaë and kept his backpack and weapons on him. Though a lot of their survival stuff was still on the snowmobiles. "I have to say, your feathers remind me of my pillow back at Vale." he would chuckle at that thought. She was soft though. He loved it. And with the cold, it made sticking to her that much more pleasant. It was still very cold outside, but much better than outside the walls.
Pillbody would talk to a robot guard. This is the first thing that would probably set the others off. But of course they had guards. This was an Atlas facility afterall. "Hi Bob!" He would echo as he passed. Just pleased that the robot had a name such as bob. It made him happy inside.
The town was fascinatingly simple. Everyone seemed happy. Though they obviously were a bit poor it seemed. The lack of people in the residential sector was proof enough. People just needed to work to keep things on track and they seemed well fed and happy. Maybe his crew would finally start to realize how this was just a mining town like any other. Though maybe there was an ugly dictator at the top, or maybe a nice dictator, time would tell.
"Pillbody, what currency do you use to buy and sell? Do your people accept old fashioned trades?" He really wanted to know, because several of the items looked interesting. Narx would follow happily. He was not the one who wanted a tour, the others did, but he was happy to see the tour was proving him right. He'd shoot a smirk over at Xanthe. "Officer Pillbody, what is your faunus to human population here? And I must say your mining operations are mighty impressive!"
But the one and only faunus working in the mines was definitely a concern to others. Danaë squeezed his hand and he felt her pain, but he chose to just assume that they'd see other humans working here too. Just because the first faunus is in the mines doesn't mean they all are. But part of him deep inside felt a pang nagging at his heart strings. But his mind was unable to think of such things. It had to remain positive. He was curious though if they would get jobs.

Profile: Profile Weapon: Gravityflux (Glaive/shotgun/double axes) gaia_angelleft Action: pursuing gaia_angelright ~~~------~~~-----~~~------~~~~~~------~~~-----~~~------~~~ So far, the plans on her end were working, the identity of a space case looking to be working.. As far as she knew. Xanthe played along with it, which helped her ease to the idea to keep it up. That was the next personal step, as it were. Or at least, the intention that was to be followed. From her usual self, and watching Danae and Xanthe putting their stuff down, Sasselia was feeling.... At ease, to say the least, seeing nothing was happening, though was in wonderment on how Danae was managing to fit all those daggers around her person at all. That was another mystery within itself, but to be able to hide so many, all while being very tiny in size, was impressive to be able to know. Everything was still chill from perspective even as this all happened, but she was set on hanging onto everything she had regardless, being able to smile politely towards the officer, nodding her head in graciousness. "Th-thank you for your understanding!" Truly appreciating the consideration, she had chosen to leave her sleeping bag behind after all, giving some compensation back for the kindness. "Can.. Can someone pl-please remind m-me later... I-I don't wish to sleep on the floor after all~." Completely joking on that note, she was all prepared for the tour, glad to be listening to some of the citizens and their specialties from Pillbody had admittedly been good to know. Heading outside into the place itself brought forth another story to be told from her perspective, as a slow, relaxing haze filling her body from within. Not even having any notice to it at all, Sasselia was more oddly happier than she was upon first arrival, her demeanor calmer, and taking it all with less hesitation as the walk itself carried on. "Quite more stone-faced th-than anticipated for something carrying m-militia..." Nothing as she was used to, compared to both her homeland, and of course Vale. With that being said, she had turned her attention to Pillbody then, as he had asked her about Vacuo, unknowing the fact another one of the group had the same interest to know. "Vacuo is quite the opposite of what the v-views of Atlas are like. R-rather then lovely lands of snow, it was so full of dunes and more desert, with small areas of forest. M-my family in particular had lived among the outskirts in one of the said areas... A-a family settlement in the making, it was. S-sadly with the destruction and fall, I-I can only imagine what has happened to the very l-land I was grown upon, or how it would be like now.." Sighing softly, rather than sinking into her normal pace of sadness form memories... She was oddly enough being in a more composed mood, though was keeping her eyes ahead on the roads and trails. This plan was set in motion, but she was relaxing to the tour itself, her nerves just vanishing away from her. On good thing to help with it was the notice of the weather being a little nicer than it was before. If only the Atlesian knight wasn't so intimidating to notice. Seeing as there was a name tied to the robot, Bob was easier to know, she herself waving to the metallic beast just as Narx was giving it a greeting as well.
Bob was nothing to her, compared to the layout of the land itself using hangars to make their buildings the way they were. Even towards their arrival to the commercial section, and the pick up of people, about, the citizens were quite oriented with getting their tasks done, and arriving to locations of interest. Some were giving waves of acknowledgement to them, which Sass had returned their way, before going back to counting up on routes and sets. What an actual difficulty it was getting sadly, as she hadn't seen a Yak being milked in such a long time, the compassion for wanting to learn about what all were doing, and be uncharacteristically relaxed through it all, she was just ecstactic, smiling more than normal and she should be. Maybe it was because of the tour??? "Is nobody cold??" Another question that had arrived in her mind. Unable to find a time to ask about it properly, questions like this had been silenced, the observing more to her interest. "I-I would humbly love to learn some of their fashions here.... B-beautiful jewelry and work." Silently impressed she was, and by the time they had arrived to the research facility, the notions of stronger security were the first noticeable trait upon it all. Another was the more routine works of Atlesian robots in some parts, and the fact there was more of those she was counting, than humans at that point. Even the lack of faunus aside from those in the group was another thing she had to wonder, but that subjective note would only be another fire cracker topic had she said something. Such things didn't stick around in her mind, as it were. Upon the officers talking with one another, Sasselia had blushed deeply to the compliment by the officer, a small squeak coming from her by the flattery. "Th-thank you! M-my hair is surprisingly hereditary, off my father, m-mostly." Going all bashful by then, she was prepared to get into the elevator with everyone else, humming a small melody under her breath on the descent. Upon stepping off however, there was finally the sighting of a faunus. "O-Oh my!!" A faunus supporter herself, there had to certainly be some reaction from this triggering point of sighting. If there was, everyone was hiding it well, aside from the small comment from Xanthe being the key point. Rather than actually answering a response as normal to the sad logic, a different air was on Sasselia herself, her face stretched on her smile towards the rest of the group, just as they were asking on the mines themselves, and about potential jobs for them here. Team Shae was certainly picking up on some good questions to be asking, though meanwhile their was Sass, who was just... Too oddly happy and chirpy. Any who knew her enough would know she wasn't so overly happy as she was. Focusing on the minds, and with the seeking of knowledge, even then it would be hard to tell she was being different at all. "I too, also wish to know such lovely information. How many sorts of rock, stalagmite, or even dust and jewel c-can normally be found?? Wh-what is the most common production rate? Ohhh there's so much that could be learned and yearning with potential c-counts of future success!!!"
█ Ammo Type ▬ 20 Regular shotgun bullets & 8 dust bullets. █ Drawback▬ Sasselia has to manually change the shotgun bullets. It takes half of one post to reload.
Semblance:
█ *NAME ▬ Gravity Entrapment █ *AURA COLOR ▬ Royal Blue █ *DESCRIPTION Sasselia's semblance is a gravity and anti-gravity element by way of glyphs. She is able to flip the gravitational pull within the area of her glyphs to either lift things and allow them to float, or make things heavier, by way of making the gravitational pull increase in weight. It is a perfect semblance for trapping Grimm and enemies, though in order to make the glyphs, she must make physical contact with either her hand or her weapon, which allows her to channel her semblance through her bullets or glaive. When her glyphs are laid onto the battlefield, it takes one post for the glyph to be set: the glyphs white on first appearance. The glyph is activated the moment it turns dark blue in color. Starting at level 0, she can make up to four glyphs, that are 5 meters (15ft) in diameter. Each level, the number of glyphs she can make, and set are increased but the sizes remain the same. Her glyphs are not invincible, as they can be taken down by humans a level or more stronger than her, or by those who exceed the 600-pound limit. The pressure of weight for each level is shown: - Level 0 - 150lb - Level 1 - 300lb - Level 2 - 450lb - Level 3 - 600lb
█ *LEVEL 1▬ (100-199 posts) The glyphs are a diameter 15ft wide.(5 meters) Sasselia is able to lay out six traps that last for four posts, unless broken early on. There is a three post cooldown once all her glyphs have been fired out. She cannot shoot out all glyphs in one go, but able to fire up to half the number of glyphs at a time. The glyphs can either: Gravity: Bring down 300 lbs worth of pressure onto objects or enemies.(Cannot hold anyone or objects over 300 lbs) Anti-gravity: Lift objects, grimm, or people up to 20 meters up in the air within the circumference. When the semblance count ends, the person in the trap slowly descends near the end of the count. She is able to keep the glyphs apart from each other by up to 20 meters.
█ *DRAWBACKS ▬ Nerve paralysis kickback on a art of her body. It is a rigid type of paralysis that makes her immovable for 2 posts when it kicks in. This takes effect after every semblance usage for two posts. ▬ When using glyphs, she must use her weapon as a beacon, or fire a bullet with her semblance channeled onto it to help her point and aim her glyphs for summoning. ▬ The glyphs cannot be moved when created until level 3. ▬ She cannot move objects exceedingly over 600 pounds. ▬ Her glyphs can be neutralized or destroyed by any enemy exceeding 600 pounds, or by enemies one level above herself. --- Sasselia has to choose the effect on whether there is going to be gravity or antigravity set in the glyph before firing. ------- To break her glyphs, those above her current level can easily use their aura to break the glyph. Those on Sasselia's level or lower, it takes 2 posts of focusing aura to break the effects effects. Those with enhanced, or above average strength in skill have a more high resistance.
Ylva only rolled her eyes at Narx after he tried to reprimand her; he was not worth her respect in her mind but, she would ignore him for now. Obsidian eyes looked around absently as she would listen to Pillbody upon his relaxing with them, she would note that Xanthe was the only one not to eat."Good, we need at least one lucid warrior,"she thought, though she stopped after a couple forkfuls due to her body saying she was full. To Sass' remark, she would only nod absently; though she knew the opposite to be true. Ears twitching a bit, she turned dark abyss eyes towards the officer calmly as he offered to take them on the tour now. Like her compatriots, she would leave her sleeping bag quietly, though keeping everything else before following the rest. To her companion's request, she would simply nod in reply.
On the tour, her ears twitched from the sounds of Morose, her tail swaying slowly in caution as she took in sights, sounds, and smells of the steamed place; still cold, but not uncomfortably so. As the officer spilled information of the people of Morose and its ways of working, they would pause before a metal being...he only smelled of metal, which made her frown."No clue,"Ylva answered Xanthe with a frown and momentary glower at the strange creation; something she tried to think of from stories from previous Elders while they walked on. Vacuo did come up, and hearing Sass speak on it, she herself actually spoke for more than a couple words, after Sass spoke; revealing two very different personalities of their kingdom comparatively.
"The nights were cooler, and the sky would be an endless sea of stars caressing the moon. And on windy days, the sea of sands dance,"Ylva added, smiling to Sass then before her expression returned to a neutral frown; taking note of the lack of faunus-kind absently. Her attention caught by the tailor's wares. Without thinking, she would walk over then, as Danae seemed to leave to inspect the jewelry stall. She would quietly take in the shopkeeper's reaction while she carefully examined and silently critiqued the stitching; a different yet delicate style of stitching, unlike any she'd seen before, which made her tail sway a little faster in excitement that she might be interested to know how it worked. Bowing her head slightly in thanks (if not shooed away first) she would walk back to the group as they were headed to an area that she felt dread for, and not sure why...
The petite wolf kept her frown as Officer Pillbody greeted the unusually happy guards; feeling uneased by all this unnatural happiness. All the while, Owl and Eye-patch asked questions with enthusiasm; best to let them flap their gums for now, she thought."Poor blue,"she noticed Sass' fluster and moved closer to the girl to try and calm the girl by reaching out and discreetly giving the girl's hand a squeeze before looking around for Rin; curious if he had any ideas/thoughts on his face before they would head into the mines. A faunus! but...why here?"Grrr,"A low growl would escape her lips before Ylva could stop herself, a curl of her lips. Xanthe's remark only having a negative effect as it made Ylva think of Vale's ugly underbelly."Is this truly how it is out here?!"she thought; thinking of home compared to the rest of the world...She had not noticed her sienna aura pulsating around her until she felt a dainty hand take hers. Hackles smoothing as she looked to the culprit only for her glower and aura to slowly fade meeting crimson eyes. The look of concern and understanding had her grimace and slow her breathing; if it had been anyone else...who knows what would've happened."Apologies,"Ylva grumbled as she glowered before returning to a neutral expression. Her hand remained in Sass' if allowed, her claw of her thumb gently absently drawing a circle on the Gentle's palm in a self-soothing manner as Sass inquired of her own after the near-fiasco.
Out Of Caves!: Crisis averted, though on edge tension~. Please let me know if I missed anything. Posts Count: 172 Profile Location: Morose // Xanthe and Sass and others Outfit/Equipped:Hairstyle / Winter wear / Ulv Lofte (PW) / Travel bag with things in it / Other Weapons Dust: 6/6 Lg Fire; 8/8 Sm Plant; 4/4 Sm Ice; 4/4 Sm Earth Semblance Activation/Rest: Resting Post 4/4
"My, those are impressive knives!" Pillbody exclaimed looking at Nightkiss and Hatred laying on the table. "How did you get them coloured like that? You could make a fair bit making coloured cutlery here in Morose!" It was somewhat unclear if Pillbody thought Danea used the daggers to eat, or if he was just thinking about other jobs for her since as he proclaimed many times, they didn't have any Grimm
"My it sounds like you have a lovely home! Just lovely! Well you and your family are always welcome here!" His tone was oddly joyful despite the sad ending to Sass's story about her home. "We don't have sand, but the snow is lovely just the same."
The workers in the commercial district smiled and puffed up their chests a little as Danea ooo'd and ahh'd at their work, Xanthe and Ylva examined the seamstress's work and Narx and Sass eyed their wares with interest. They seemed proud of their work and excited to have someone take an interest in it. "Why, we use Lien, good sir!" Pillbody said cheerfully, "But I daresay these fine folks would be willing to take a trade if you have something they want!"
After Xanthe scanned the map she would see a new icon appear on her scroll. If she clicked it a 3D hologram of the mines would appear. She would be able to manipulate it and touch the different icons to see what they meant. Pillbody was too excited about opening the door and making his grand gesture to notice she had scanned it.
Their tour guide scratched the back of his head while he mulled over Danea's question. "Suppose that's up to the Guardian, but if you decide to stay for a while, I would imagine so!" He looked towards Ylva when she growled. "Stomach ache?" He asked though he seemed to put it out of his mind when she applogised.
"Of the three thousand one hundred and twenty-seven residents five hundred and forty-four, or just below seventeen percent are Faunus." He grinned broadly, clearly pleased that Narx and Sasselia appeared to be impressed with the mines. "Well since you like it, why don't we take a closer look! Maybe it will answer some of your questions!" He led them towards a set of mine carts. The paint on them was worn down, but there was a modern screen on the front emitting a blue glow. "Unfortunately we'll have to split you up! Only two can fit in a cart!" He handed out helmets while directing each person into one of the carts enthusiastically, not giving much choice for who ended up where.
Cart One: Pillbody Cart Two: Xanthe and Sass Cart Three: Rin and Ylva Cart Four: Narx and Danea
Pillbody climbed into the first one and they were off. Despite their dilapidated look, the carts ran smoothly down the tracks. There were two tracks and the conveyor belt with dust on it. "This track is for carts going into the mine and the other is for carts leaving," Pillbody explained as they went. "I'll take you to where most of the activity is now." They were moving at about running speed. Not crazy fast, but it certainly beat walking. As they went they passed other tunnels, the tracks leading down them as well using switching stations. After about 10 minutes the cart slowed down to a fast walk. They came alongside a chain-link fence. On the other side were Faunus operating drills. The mechanical hand carefully removed loose dust shards while the drill whirled away at the rock surrounding them.
"Look-" [Boom! There was an explosion as one of the drills got too close to a shard of fire dust and set it off, causing a chain reaction. Everyone's vision was obscured as dust filled the air making it hard to breathe. Ylva and Rin's cart was caught directly in the blast, their cart tipping over as rocks sprayed from the left and above. Xanthe and Sass would feel their carts suddenly shoot forward, while Narx and Danea's suddenly slammed on the breaks and hit the reverse. "Cave in detected." A male robotic voice spoke up from all of the carts, apparently looking to whisk them away from the danger. It didn't take them far, just a short distance beyond the cloud of dust before coming to a rest. "Cave stabilized. Emergency services are on their way!" The voice informed them. From either side, as the dust slowly settled they would see the outlines of rubble until it cleared enough to reveal the tunnel had been completely blocked off, each group hoping Rin and Ylva were on the other side.
"Well that is unfortunate," Pillbody said, seeming weirdly unphased by their near-death experience. "Guess that's why they give us helmets! Not to worry, there is another exit! We'll meet your friends outside!" He informed Xanthe and Sass before clicking some buttons to get their carts going again.
On the other side of the cave-in, Narx and Danea could see a leg sticking out of the rubble along with some of the cables from the mining machine. The pants were from the uniform the miners wore. There were a few other miners with them, but they seemed content to wait for the help the cart said was coming and instead were gossiping among themselves.
"Who was it?" "Sage was always drilling to close." "Wasn't that Ivory?"
Ylva and Rin were trapped under the tipped-over cart, buried in rocks. It is pitch black, their Faunus vision unable to help them with no light source. Rin would find he is unable to move his left arm, trapped under the edge of the cart. Both Rin and Ylva were banged up, bruised and bleeding from a few spots, but the cart had protected them from the worst of the blast.

Narx had to admit, Sass had some good questions. She might not be the best at dictation, but she certainly came off as smart to him. He would never have thought to ask about production rates. "Sassy, you're too smart." he'd remark with his cute nickname for her. Ylva would ignore him, but he enjoyed what she had to say about her homeland; Vacuo. They both seemed to miss it as they related back to it so fondly. Though it was also in stark contrast to Atlas. His mind danced with imagination of what Vacuo was like. A far off land he hadn't really had any opportunity to explore. And now, they were on the opposite side of the world.
"Danaë', have you been to Vacuo?" he said, with a finger to his chin. He wouldn't be surprised if she had been. But he had never spoke to her on the subject.
Narx was happy to hear they took the same basic currency. Though eh imagined it's value was altered due to being cut off. Likely it had increased value here. Especially fresh bills. He hoped so at least!
Narx was happy when Mr. Pillbody took them to look at more of the mines. They approached some cool red carts which were clearly worn and used. He would gladly toss on a helmet and secure it, and hop in with his cute feathered friend."This will be exciting!"
Everything was fascinating, but Narx wasn't paying attention or able to focus on the details he just put his hands up in the air and shouted with joy. "Wooooooo!!" That was when the explosion forced them to a halt and then the cart automatically started to back up to keep them safe. Narx found himself laughing at the event instead of startled like he normally would. It felt like a roller coaster ride with a show. He just laughed and giggled uncontrollably at the chaos that ensued. What a fun ride!
Narx would wipe some tears out of his eyes and calm down, but when he saw the leg popping out of the rocks and boulders he would start to laugh uncontrollably again. "I- think that man got hurt!" it was now clear, if it wasn't before, he was under the influence of something very strong. He was too loopy to even realize his friends were caught inside the collapse.

Xanthe Shaw
Xanthe raised an eyebrow when Sass asked about rocks and production rates and gave Ylva a quick glance. She could get over Narx noting the mining operations were impressive because she knew the least about him, perhaps he was really into maximising efficiency or big drills. Sass on the other hand, Xanthe had to think it was a part of some sort of ploy, but it was hard to see the end game. Ylva growled at the injustice of it and Xanthe couldn't help but agree, although it only added to her seething anger. It was a pressure that was building, nothing she's seen so far had convinced her that this city was normal. She took the helmet as it was handed to her and inspected the mine cart, old and worn like everything else. She took her knife out and carved an X into the side, the blade scoring the paint. It was odd how quickly that had become a ritual for her, perhaps there was something about the act of vandalism that appealed to her. "Lets hope they do, and then off to see the guardian right?" She offered the blade to Ylva to mark her own cart before putting it away. She hopped into the front of her and Sass's cart, noted the lack of safety harnesses and then realised why as they left the station as a brisk pace.
Xanthe felt the wind on her face as they rolled down the rails, had she not been focused on the mission and not sucker punching Pillbody she might have even said she enjoyed the ride. She looked backwards to her cart buddy who seemed to be enjoying herself considerably more. "You having fun?" The cart's pace slowed as they passed by a fence, and she cast a quick glance at the Faunus drilling before turning fully back to Sass. Suddenly the cave shook, the cart rushed forwards causing Xanthe to grab the sides to and brace herself as not to slam forwards and fall into Sass. As she looked back she saw the roof explode. She was forced to shut her eyes as a wave of dust and smoke passed them, but not being able to cover her nose or mouth meant breathing it in. The cart finally came to a stop outside of the dust cloud, Xanthe spent a moment coughing up the residue, before spitting out a wad of phlegm. "Are you okay?" She had managed not to fall into her so that was something. Pillbody spoke behind her. "Unfortunate?! Your damn right. I'm holding you responsible for them, so you better pray none of them are hurt." He then pressed the button to get the carts moving. "How long before the emergency services get here?" She wasn't about to leave the rest of the group but at the same time she had no way of clearing that cave-in by herself.

Danaë would genuinely smile. Talking about coloring and natural art was one of her favorite things to do. "You have to use different acids and bases to get colors like that. There are also ways to give metal a more rainbow effect." The acids and bases did nothing but discolor the metal, causing it to bind. Though, sometimes you needed a current to get it to set.
Narx asked if she had ever been to Vacuo. "Vacuo fell either a little bit before I was born, or right after...My mother would never have had risked it. I've only been to Vale and Menagerie, well, and Atlas now."
Danaë would think about the jobs that they might get if they were to stay. She wasn't built for work in the mines. She was more of an artist, and weapon dyer. It would be something that she would have to fight if she were assigned the job. Danaë would put on the hard hat as she thought. She was in a cart with Narx.
Soon after they were in the carts, a cave in happened, engulfing two of their team. However, that wasn't the thing that worried her. Narx was laughing. Normally, when something like this happened, he would freeze up, but he seemed loose for once. She'd raise an eyebrow, and hop out of the cart. No one has helping the ones that where trapped. She would look to Narx. Narx asked if she had ever been to Vacuo. "Narx, we need to help them." She would start to move rocks, using what she strength she could. Her feather arms, getting covered in grit and dirt.
For better or for worse, it seemed Pillbody needed little convincing to take them on a tour. He seemed so happy about it Rin was unsure he was not going to offer it himself if he had thought of it sooner. 'Let us hope we chose wisely,' he thought to himself as continued to just listen. Answering one of their groups question, the officer would say they mined dust but also a few metals; going on a slight tangent about some of their crafters and shopkeeper's services before catching himself. 'Jewelry and clothing repair...not something that scream military function, so that is maybe a good sign?' he wondered to himself, unsure. He would go on to mention they could leave their belonging in here if they wanted, as it would be taken to their rooms once they were ready. For now, Rin would keep his bag and Wakana with him in case anything happened. He did have some thoughts on leaving the bag behind, however, and he decided he didn't need everything it had. He would leave fire starter kit, snow shoes, and rope while keeping everything else in his bag. His sleeping bag and tent, along with a few other things, were still on his snowmobile as far as he was aware. As everyone got ready, his attention would be drawn to Danae's knives mostly because Pillbody was eager to admire them. He wondered if it were wise to leave her weapons, but as long as most of them had some it should compensate and seem like a trusting gesture at least. As Sasselia mentioned Vacuo, it seemed to catch Pillbody's interest a bit; but then he did seem eager to talk about almost anything, from Rin's impression so far. He would gesture them to follow him through a door, and Rin would do so; sticking to the middle of the group for now with his short stature. As they passed through the doorway, Rin woud get peeks of the 'town' between the moving bodies of his group and frowned silently. 'Not a very vibrant or fun looking city,' he thought to himself upon seeing the militaristic style of things. It reminded him a little of the base they stationed themselves in, though he probably shouldn't be surprised by that. The other thing he noticed was that it was much warmer here than outside the walls. Not enough to make him want to shed layers, but enough to make him feel relaxed enough to enjoy it. His thoughts went back to the large steam cloud they had seen; natural heating for the inhabitants of the city. It was definitely a wise place to set up and hold out. The next thing he noticed, more so by the sound of its voice drawing his attention away from the city and surroundings, was a robot. He had never seen these whole and functioning before; the most he had seen was recreations by a tribe mate and the spare parts between her creations. It spoke as was expected; concisely. He found it interesting that when Pillbody mentioned a tour, it said request granted. 'Could it have told him no; does it's word supersede his?' Rin pondered to himself quietly. It kind of sucked that he was a bit paranoid on speaking; he had so many thoughts and concerns he wanted to voice but never saw the appropriate time for it. It never felt fully safe.
Once past Bob the Robot, Pillbody would lead them down the street saying Bob was lovely and to stick close so they don't get turned around in the fog, making Rin glad he chose middle of the pack so he was hopefully least likely to get separated. 'If things go south, the fog could help us escape pursuit,' he noted to himself. He really hoped they would not have to worry about it, and that they were not trapped in here. He listened to both Sasselia and Ylva speak of Vacuo; a place of intense heat from what he heard, and never wanted to go to for that reason, even if their telling of it made it sound very nice. He just knew he wouldn't survive there. Pillbody would also mention how there used to be airship hangers for maintenance here, but since no one flied it got stripped for parts (along with ships) to make living spaces. 'Did they believe, like some of the tribe leaders, it better to stay than go?' he wondered to himself. No matter if they were good people or not, it seemed to have been the right choice from his first impressions for surviving at least. Oddly enough though, he skirted around mentioning the grimm invasion for why people stopped coming and many just stayed. It was odd, but Rin did not vocally question it for now. The residential area was barren, but Pillbody would say it was because everyone was at work. And, true to his word, they would find many humans in the commercial district...but no faunus. Being a relatively isolated tribe, for the most part in not much intermixing that he saw, this did not surprise him too much to see as he was mostly unaware of how Atlas and its people used to be. A bit more of the military bleakness did show here though; the buildings mostly looked the same except for shop signs. And people being outside of their buildings to sell their wares...they seemed happy and social enough at least. Narx would ask about what currency was used, with Pillbody saying lien or trade for the most part. Rin would glance to the wears, finding the jewelry pretty...and feeling tempted to snag one, given no one seemed to be concerned about theft. But he refrained for the time being...he may have something to trade for it later. 'Maybe some music could suffice...' he silently pondered as he continued to follow Pillbody with the group. They would move past the commercial district to a very large building that seemed to loom over the town; and clearly was much more important as it had many many more guards. Even if it was of the robotic kind, this building seemed more defensively manned than the gates to get in which Rin found peculiar. The officers, male and female humans, seemed the same relaxed friendliness as Pillbody; complimenting them and inquiring a little. Rin would give a polite smile to them but remain silent, glad they would keep moving for now. They would be led into an elevator, though oddly enough it did not seem to go as high as it could with the amount of floors it; if all the rooms were equally as big as the one they were just in. Rin dismissed it in his mind in that they maybe had one very big one near the top for ships and stuff perhaps, as he was not sure what this base really researched but he remembered mention of airship maintenance hangars. Regardless, Pillbody was taking them down so Rin pushed it from his mind for the moment. As the door began to open, he would welcome them to the dust mines...only for them to be in a admin room it seemed. He would comment it may've been a bit premature, which caused Rin to chuckle lightly. One thing Rin could tell was that it was getting warmer now. 'No~! Please don't get much warmer than this, I was enjoying the mild cold...' he thought to himself. Looking at the walls, Rin would notice strange symbols on it with some key words to maybe identify them. Pillbody would mention scanning them to know where you are assigned, so Rin did not bother to attempt to learn how to scan it with his scroll. He barely knew how his worked, and if it was only a work schedule he didn't really care to know more about it. Moving on, he would lead them through a dirty lunch room and into the mine itself finally. The blast of hot air instantly dropped Rin's mood. 'Too warm,' he sulked, wishing he could shed some layers now. Perhaps he could if he found a secluded spot...but then again he didn't want to get lost. He put up his aura then, to give him some weather resistance. The last thing he needed was the heat disabling him. It looked like what he expected of a mine, though what he did not expect to see was faunus working here. There were humans too, but having seen none above he didn't expect to see any here. Pillbody would explain that their population was just under seventeen percent faunus. It did not fully sit right with him to see only faunus here in the city, but perhaps they had just missed many above with their tour. He was hoping that was the case at least, along with seeing a human here too if operating the machine. Rin would note Ylva growl, and barely catch Xanthe's comment. While he was unfamiliar with the civilization of Atlas on a personal level, there seemed to be a bad connotation. He would keep his guard up for now, as much of their group was faunus...all in fact, aside from Sasselia.
He would bade them deeper in, and with the enthusiasm of some of their group, tell them they should get a closer look as he gestured to get into carts. He would hand everyone a helmet, and rather than let them pick or choose who they say with, directed them so they would be in the cart with someone. Rin would put on his own helmet as he was being directed. In this case, Rin had ended up with Ylva in a cart behind Xanthe and Sasselia; Narx and Danae were behind them, and Pillbody was all the way at the front. He was not sure he trusted these carts as vehicles, but it seemed he had little choice now. Going in first so he was on the left side of the cart, he would try to take up as little space as he could. His right hand was holding Wakana, left on the side of the cart, and his backpack was moved to be between his legs. Once Pillbody had gotten into his, the carts began to move; it was strange, though Rin took a guess that Pillbody was at least partially in control at the front. Not being the best with technology, he didn't even try to interact with his cart as he silently watched from his seat. He mentioned how their track was to go deeper in, and the other was to come out of the mines. He also said he would take them to where most of the activity was. The carts, while not feeling the safest, certainly made the journey quicker than it would have been on foot since it took a whopping ten minutes. Rin, not sure on what to do, would whisper to Ylva. "Why do you think the building above the mine is so heavily guarded, but the front gate seems to have a skeleton crew?" he would simply ask, being the most pressing and puzzling thing to him currently. Eventually, they would arrive at their destination; faunus drilling into the rock, separated from them by a chain link fence. "Big mine, and both human and faunus operate the drills," he whispered quietly to himself, though Ylva could hear it if she strained her ears. Pillbody began to speak but then everything went to chaos as an explosion occurred. Rin shut his eyes and froze in shock as everything happened super fast; the feeling of dust slamming into his face, gravity being upended, falling, the sound of crashing rocks, his ears ringing, his right hand painfully pressing Wakana to his chest, his aura surging, landing on the ground with his head and left arm, feeling crushing weight and pain from it, and blacking out. He was only out for a couple seconds, helmet cushioning his head and aura protecting him, but it left his disoriented. He heard a robotic voice say cave in, stabilized, emergency, but his ears were ringing. He opened his eyes, or thought he did, but everything was still black. He could feel a dull pain from his arm and a lot of pressure; finding it unmovable as he groaned. He was upside down, he knew that much with how his body felt like it was bearing down on his head. He felt sore all over, and could feel a few painful cuts. His mind was slow, still processing everything. "Where...am I? Am I dead? My arm is stuck..." he would ask rhetorically and confused, slowly trying to feel around with his right hand if there was anything else. If there was any room to even move so the blood would stop rushing to his head. Then he thought of something. He would try to focus, and create a shower of sparks right in front of him. Nothing too bright, but a faint light to help him get a quick view of where he was and what was with him. "Are you alright?" He would ask, with a mix of grogginess and concern as he noticed Ylva was in there with him. Then he realized something else as his mind was coming to terms with things. Their scrolls! "Do you think you can get your scroll out or mine? It is in my pocket, it could give us a more permanent light than my semblance," Rin would ask/suggest to Ylva as it came to mind. His positioning made it a bit too awkward for him to get into his own pocket to remove his own one. He wished he thought of this before using his semblance...but then he didn't even know if he was alive a minute ago, let alone what Ylva was with him...That being said he still wasn't entirely sure if he was in fact alive.
Wakana Scroll Bag filled with some rope(left behind), climbing tools, snow/ice traveling shoe accessories(left behind), rations, water, fire starter kit(left behind), and a GPS thingy they were given. Snow goggles and face veil. Snowmobile packs: packs strapped to each one with insulated tents for the cold, rations kits (9), kerosene lamps and thermopacks(10) that would keep them warm once activated
Dust:

Ylva looked to Xanthe and silently questioned what she thought of the tailoring before they returned to the group and began entering the mine area; stubbornly ignoring the discomfort of humid heating. Sass' questions only had her confused and shrugged at Xanthe's questioning look before she let her growl slip."Is he really that dense,"she thought, annoyed that humans were so inadequate at reading a room. Though...it also had her curious why people were so damn giddy here. After apologizing, they had been led to the carts where she watched Xanthe mark the first cart."Thanks,"Ylva said, accepting the knife and marking hers and Rin's with a "Y" before handing back the knife. Putting her aura up before getting in warily.
In the cart now, she sighed and held Ulv Lofte in her lap like a lap bar; with its length it would've been over both hers and Rin's laps for unintentional extra security. As they rode on, her ears would lay flat due to the loud roar of the winds (nice as they were) but, her eyes moved while Pillbody spoke, taking in the place before hearing Rin's question and turned to him."Protecting something much deeper inside,"Ylva would whisper back, taking a guess that either guardian or something greater was in the building above them before going back to observing, agreeing with Rin's quiet notes, tucking them away for later.
One second Officer was talking and the next thing they would see would be explosion. Panicked, the petite wolf would take instinct and move to guard the fox faunus as a shield; Ulv Lofte having been moved and landing just outside the mining cart due to the power of the blast from where their cart was. The ringing of her ears and spots from the brightness had incapacitated her temporarily as she tried to get up; not to mention feeling like she'd been hit by a stampede of Boarbatusks. It was dark and even she could not see for now..."That officer's a dead...What?..."It took Ylva a bit to realize Rin was talking to her. Relief spread through her as it seemed he was okay...but they were stuck."Not dead. Fine...Sparks?"The wolf was confused as she spotted light from seemingly nowhere. The word scrolls registered and automatically, the wolf began to search for hers; in the front pocket, trying not to panic more. From acting as shield, she realized she was somewhat on top of the poor guy so, she would, if able with a growl of pain."Got it...You okay?"Ylva wheezed and turned it on for light before backing up as much as possible to sit and calm herself; not aware of the chaos outside of their little world.

Profile: Profile Weapon: Gravityflux (Glaive/shotgun/double axes) gaia_angelleft Action: pursuing gaia_angelright ~~~------~~~-----~~~------~~~~~~------~~~-----~~~------~~~ Sights, ups and down, and mixed emotions hung so high, but for some reason, ever since they had left the building to tour, Sasselia wasn't so much worrying about anything like they had upon arrival. Speaking on Vacuo though was a hard point, and with her information, combined with Ylva's on it, there was still some details she had purposely left out. There was no need for a total stranger to know she had lost two brothers that day. No need for him to know she almost died with them, if not for a blonde warrior who was now a full time hunter, and having been recently brought back into her life. No need for them to know from Ylva just how much she had lost out of all that calamity to top everything off. The reminders of it all truly hurt deep down. Something she normally would have been so silent about after talking on, and frowning. There Sasselia was though, laughing away as if nothing came out of it. The pain in her eyes replaced with a calm by Ylva, and from whatever was going on with her. Touring further in, to watch her group be so interested in the wares of the stands, there was signs that something positive was actually there out of the midst of the dull and grey, snow covered scenery, and odd people. If only she had been able to keep around longer throughout, and inspecting more. Her mind was unfortunately being her enemy however, the memorizing of pathways, with a mix of her own built up happiness just seeping her naturally overthinking cranium to just pulse and stir up with more. Much like a party in her mind, if someone had a way of finding words to describe it. All of it was nothing though, compared to their arrival at the mines. "Can we really go in!?!? Truly!? That would be so great!"
Seeing all the emotional mixes stagger more to negativity, the only two unaffected for the most part looked to be herself and Narx. Danae and Rin she wasn't able to tell how they were feeling, but Xanthe and Ylva were another story. Ylva was especially showing her feelings on this, which had been received by Sasselia gently taking her hand, trying to soother her fellow Vacuo friend. By then she was received the helmet, putting it on after asking her questions. Catching Xanthe's gaze to Ylva on it, she simply smiled much more brighter than she normally would, before turning her attention over to Narx, who complimented her on her intelligence. "Ahahah~!!!!!! I-I think it's the perks of r-reading a lot, or l-looking for knowledge to learn something all the time!! Though I will say I rather like that name being thrown into it! It's different and l-less formal sounding!" Blushing a little, she knew it was a friendly compliment, which was received to him with more laugher, that was much more off set from how she normally took compliments. Those who knew her enough knew she took friendly words with a much more gentle and bashful response to things. Here she was taking with a full burst of energy, as if they were all having tea in the Beacon courtyard, rather than be standing in front of a mine shaft entrance. Squeezing Ylva's hand then with a more upbeat reassurance, she was surprised to hear they were to be going in there, with weathered red mining carts as their rides. Normal circumstances, she'd be asking if these were truly safe to ride. This moment, however, she was hopping into hers and Xanthe's cart after letting go of Ylva's hand, all giddy to be in the front. "Soo cool!" Oohing and aahing under her breath just for being in a cart at all, she turned her attention to Xanthe, who had joined alongside her, asking her on things. "I am! I thought at first that things would be sooooo bad... Maybe I was totally wrong!" Making herself giggle more, it was clear by her expression that something was off even more. Xanthe didn't know her enough to know these sort of things she would be bracing herself, carefully looking around and contemplating questions to ask. The mild fact she was acting like a child on a rollercoaster was an oddity all on it's own. "I hope this will take us to many parts of the mine to enjoy!" Upon saying this, she went all deer in headlights to the tunnels passing them by, the switching stations being something new to her. Holding her helmet tight onto her head with one firm place of her hand, she let go when the carts had slowed themselves, the operating drills before them, just on the other side of a fence they could still see it all through. "Niftyyyyy." About to ask about the fence in place itself, the huntress in training was met with a more starting jump, laughing hysterically when their cart had began to just dart forward on them, coughing in-between all the laughter she was setting forth because of the dust. Even before the dust itself had settled to show the actual damage, uncontrollable giggle was kicking in more for her, her voice going up an octave, and coated with a much more obvious tone to her that she didn't ever use. "Bing, bam, boom! Wasn't that a "rocky" upstart!?!?" Grinning from ear to ear, the robotic voice from the carts was ignored, with the scene before them clearing up, and showing the damage. "Oh!" So unfeigned by what was witnessed, Pillbody had informed them there was nothing to worry about, and another exit being around. "I know full well they will be alright~! They are all so strong! I must ask though if there is any possibility we are doing any more exciting stops around? I really love all the work put in, and perhaps us looking can give them all time to catch up to us!? Eh Xanthe!? Eh!?" Resting her crimson eyes upon her team leader brightly, she was speaking on helping with the cave in. "Ooh!! I like that!! Can we actually do that!? What are those emergency services like for this!? Sounds like fun trying to fix a cave in!" Whatever was going on with Sass at this point, she was just in the cart at that point, grinning ear to ear.
█ Ammo Type ▬ 20 Regular shotgun bullets & 8 dust bullets. █ Drawback▬ Sasselia has to manually change the shotgun bullets. It takes half of one post to reload.
Semblance:
█ *NAME ▬ Gravity Entrapment █ *AURA COLOR ▬ Royal Blue █ *DESCRIPTION Sasselia's semblance is a gravity and anti-gravity element by way of glyphs. She is able to flip the gravitational pull within the area of her glyphs to either lift things and allow them to float, or make things heavier, by way of making the gravitational pull increase in weight. It is a perfect semblance for trapping Grimm and enemies, though in order to make the glyphs, she must make physical contact with either her hand or her weapon, which allows her to channel her semblance through her bullets or glaive. When her glyphs are laid onto the battlefield, it takes one post for the glyph to be set: the glyphs white on first appearance. The glyph is activated the moment it turns dark blue in color. Starting at level 0, she can make up to four glyphs, that are 5 meters (15ft) in diameter. Each level, the number of glyphs she can make, and set are increased but the sizes remain the same. Her glyphs are not invincible, as they can be taken down by humans a level or more stronger than her, or by those who exceed the 600-pound limit. The pressure of weight for each level is shown: - Level 0 - 150lb - Level 1 - 300lb - Level 2 - 450lb - Level 3 - 600lb
█ *LEVEL 1▬ (100-199 posts) The glyphs are a diameter 15ft wide.(5 meters) Sasselia is able to lay out six traps that last for four posts, unless broken early on. There is a three post cooldown once all her glyphs have been fired out. She cannot shoot out all glyphs in one go, but able to fire up to half the number of glyphs at a time. The glyphs can either: Gravity: Bring down 300 lbs worth of pressure onto objects or enemies.(Cannot hold anyone or objects over 300 lbs) Anti-gravity: Lift objects, grimm, or people up to 20 meters up in the air within the circumference. When the semblance count ends, the person in the trap slowly descends near the end of the count. She is able to keep the glyphs apart from each other by up to 20 meters.
█ *DRAWBACKS ▬ Nerve paralysis kickback on a art of her body. It is a rigid type of paralysis that makes her immovable for 2 posts when it kicks in. This takes effect after every semblance usage for two posts. ▬ When using glyphs, she must use her weapon as a beacon, or fire a bullet with her semblance channeled onto it to help her point and aim her glyphs for summoning. ▬ The glyphs cannot be moved when created until level 3. ▬ She cannot move objects exceedingly over 600 pounds. ▬ Her glyphs can be neutralized or destroyed by any enemy exceeding 600 pounds, or by enemies one level above herself. --- Sasselia has to choose the effect on whether there is going to be gravity or antigravity set in the glyph before firing. ------- To break her glyphs, those above her current level can easily use their aura to break the glyph. Those on Sasselia's level or lower, it takes 2 posts of focusing aura to break the effects effects. Those with enhanced, or above average strength in skill have a more high resistance.
Light of the Rin’s semblance and then the scroll would reveal they were in the overturned mine cart. His arm was fine…for now. It was pinned under the lip of the overturned cart, against the rocky floor of the tunnel. Him and Ylva would need to find a way to free his arm before his aura ran out, or hope rescue reached him before. Otherwise his arm would likely be crushed by the pile of stones on top. (At the five minute mark they’ll be able to feel vibrations and hear the rocks shifting, but even then there is no telling how long it will take until they are found and freed)
~~~~
Sass & Xanthe
Pillbody smiled at Sass’s pun, giving a chuckle. “Mighty fine pun! Rocky upstart indeed!” Either Pillbody was a Dad or there was something off about the man, seeing as he didn’t groan at the joke. “No need to get upset!” He said to Xanthe, while the two carts moved them further away from the pile of rocks. “Your friend here has got the right idea! Worrying isn’t going to help anyone caught in the blast. Let’s see….the crew will be there in less than 5 minutes I would wager. I couldn’t hazard a guess at how long it will take them to clear the mess and get to anyone caught in it. Been a while since something like this has happened. Equipment is supposed to warn them if they are drilling too close to a shard….” Pillbody trailed off while he scratched his head, seeming to ponder how the incident could have happened in the first place. Then Sass brought up more exciting stops or helping with the cave in. “Best to leave it to the experts! You don’t wanna accidentally cause more rocks to fall. They’ll be coming from the other side anyway, where your friends are! How would you like to see the haunted mine shaft? Workers won’t go near it! Or if that’s too scary for you, hydroponics is pretty neat!” The officer offered for activities while they waited for Rin and Ylva to be rescued.
~~~~~
Danae & Narx
No one joined Danae in moving the smaller rocks and dirt, but they didn’t stop her either. In fact, they didn’t seem to notice her at all. It was Narx their attention was focused on. While the small group didn’t seem terribly upset by the explosion they didn’t seem to find it hilarious like Narx. “What’s so funny?” One man asked, with a bit of a grinn in expectation for Narx to tell them a good joke. After a couple of minutes, though it likely seemed longer to Danae, several carts rolled up, most pulling equipment. It was a mix of humans and robots, but most strangely a pair of Atleasian Knight bots walked up to Narx. “Please come with us Sir.” One said in a robotic voice, while attempting to guide him towards the cart at the end of the line up.
The rest were setting up equipment and driving heavy machinery off of trailers. A couple of medic looking people were setting up a triage area and a human appeared to be scanning the pile with a strange device while another asked Danae to step back and directed her to get checked out at the medic station

Xanthe Shaw
Xanthe looked at Sass with concern, clearly she'd hit her head in the accident. If memory served she needed to lie down and put peas on her head. Neither seemed possible at the moment, the trolley was far to small to accommodate her laying down and the only food stuffs she had were rations which generally consisted of rice. If she'd known she'd have saved some of that salad from earlier. "Your going to be okay, maybe just do some aura healing. Take some deep breaths." She wasn't entirely sure if deep breaths would help her or not but it seemed like a good advice. "I think I have some pain killers in my bag." While she was sure that she did have some, it was going to be an awkward manoeuvre to take her pack off while they were still hurtling forwards with reckless abandon. Or at least moving forwards controlled by someone with reckless abandon which was almost the same thing... If slightly slower. "Yes, lets go and help rescue the other four people in our party." She enunciated the words louder than the rest so Pillbody might understand why she wasn't planning on a trip to the haunted mineshaft.
Thinking of Pillbody, she turned to face their driver who seemed just as lost at the helm as he did sat looking at the mud water they had been offered in place of tea. "Well could you radio ahead and see if we can join up with them? Surely there must be a way from here to the top of the mine or are you telling me Hydroponics is at the bottom of a mine shaft, and that was the only way back." The pretence of being nice for the sake of gaining information was starting to slip and she could feel herself getting annoyed by him. Sure this wasn't really a new emotion, but now there wasn't anyone who could deflect his stupid questions. "I'll have to decline going anywhere but to help out the squad. I'm sure you understand, what if it was your significant other or your..." She ran her tongue around her teeth, she really didn't know anything about him. "Or your guardian. You'd want to help out with the rescue. Same for us." She hoped that she could appeal to the man to take them back and not the tour guide who would take them forwards regardless of their wishes.
