Take your time he says, find your partner he says, well he can go right to hell in a hand-basket. Dakota Rainstar, you would pay for wasting his time, this was a promise. Cain frowned and rubbed a hand over the back of his neck as he stared to the walls. There was no one else down here, no partner, no nothing but these strange rows of tablets. Glancing back to the stairs he had half a mind to march back up and kick Dakota in the a** until he told him really what he was supposed to be doing.
Feeling part of a hazing joke he took a step towards the stairs only to pause in his tracks as a voice spoke out. <"Where ya going, I wanna play!" > Spinning on his heels his hands went up defensively, "...What the.." But noone was there, suddenly an urge to turn came and he went with it, heart hammering in his chest. Things had taken a quick turn from annoying to freaky, very freaky.
<Thaaat's riiight thiiiis way!>
At this point he realized hearing a voice that had no body wasn't the strangest part of his day so he went with the call. Instinctively making his way towards the tablets on the far wall. Cain squinted for a better view of the strange glowing weapon mark, it looked safe enough just a stone. So after not much internal debate he reached out and touched the surface, feeling its texture on a deep frown. Strange feelings overwhelmed him causing him to jerk back and clutch his hand to his chest.
"I'm not scared," The reply came quickly, much like his hand that landed back on the stone. Was there a recorder behind here? No. It was like it was the stone itself talking, slowly his fingers started to pull before he realized they were. Pulling the thing from the wall had a new rush flooding over him, a thrill he rode as a weapon materialized from where the tablet once was. Whoa. For a moment he studied the pole-arm, eyes glinting as he rolled up to the serrated end. This thing looked wicked strong, smiling he gave an experimental swing only to drop the weapon as it spoke.
< I am pretty fantastic huh? -AH! HEY YOU DUMMY PICK ME BACK UP RIGHT NOW!>
"..Fine." Reaching down he picked it back up and frowned, "what the heck are you..?" For a moment nothing more but girly laughter was heard, along with the strange hum this place already gave off. Shaking the weapon to try to cut it out he tapped his foot waiting clearly for an answer.
Yep.
He was going to kill Dakota and now he had the means to do it, one annoying thing to rid the other. "...Partner huh, I wonder if I can trade someone." His reply was met with a loud shriek that had him wincing and grinning. "..My name's Cain..now lets get back, I have better things to do then listen to some whiny weapon." So he took a page in Dakota's book, not that the other will ever know.
Trotting back up the steps he held tight to Jojo, ignoring her as she tried to chatter more since now wasn't the time for talk it was time for...action.
