Dark*Matter: Discovery, The Delphi Paradox

OOC

And that, young lady, is why you are a no name, red shirt wearing, future toe-tag wearing, dirty liar.

It's a d20 Dark*Matter Dungeon Crawl and you are now destined to die unless Diego takes sympathy on you and asks your name, so that you may live and one day warm his sheets.

*cackles like a maniac before getting cleaned up for his table top game*

Sory folks, it had to be said. :D

Diego looks at the woman. (ooc: What color is her shirt?)

"Hah, good one. We ... heard rumors that looters can get pretty rough if they find an important dig site. And you are ...?"
 

Meri shrugs. "I'm just saying, it wouldn't hurt to be prepared if these guys weren't killed by a cave-in. Laugh if you want...I'm not laughing until I'm back outside again though."
 

With a smile, as well as a feigned lack of familiarity with Meredith, Cade says, "No worries, Ma'am, worse comes to worse, you just have to remember what my pa always told me..."

"...ya don't have to worry about outrunning the bear," Cade adds with a wink. "Ya just hafta outrun the slowest person you're with."

"Now, pardon the forwardness," says Cade with a rakish smile, as well as a possible double entendre. "But I highly doubt that with legs like those that you're the slow kind."
 

Meredith's cheeks turn pinkish, and her mouth opens in an entirely unfeigned 'o' of shock.

"I...well...you..." she shakes a finger at Cade, entirely at a loss for words, then settles for a toss of her head and goes to confer with her cameraman as whatever self-confidence being a weird sword prodigy had lent her evaporates back into her old, kind of shy self.

"A good reporter never runs from a story," she tells him, then grimaces. "Damn. I should have said that to him. Do you think it's too late? Did I miss the moment?"
 

Nick is completely oblivious to the interaction around him, focusing only on path in front of him. Seems that maybe he's missed this work a little more than he's let on.
 

The student's got an old, brown shirt on, just the sort of thing you'd wear if you had to go get dirty while doing some digging. "My name's Dorine Spring," she said, smiling at Diego.

OOC: Doctor Ryland's is fairly open to suggestion, so if you want to make a choice as to where in the cave complex you want to head next, feel free.
 

Larry had been checking out his PDA, and become distracted about the discussion at hand. Diego had covered well after Meredith spoke up about weapons, but helping him out made sense.

"Yeah, remember that dig at the Somali-Ethiopian border we were supposed to cover? The one they sent old Quinn to cover instead. Well I heard that the reason they sent him was because he knew how to scare off those looters. Hopefully we won't have to deal with that here though."
 

If nobody else suggests anything better, Dr Ryland suggests that they should go take a look down the tunnel leaving the south-east of the chamber.

Sorry for the lack of reply, I was waiting on the next/further poses...plus, RL just got a smidge complicated this week, due to employer issues.

So, yeah, been tied up with junk. But, I'm still here.
