Hello? Is anyone going to do something?
Ruby gave saddened puppy eyes to Clover after looking down the drop. 'Not another one..' She started kicking herself for hesitating, but maybe she still had a little fear deep inside somewhere. She couldn't resist Clover's command no matter how hard she would try, so she let it take over herself without struggle. "Here we go again.." she said as she sucked in a useless air pocket. She took a leap of fate and sprang forward into the darkness."Meh?"
Clover waved her hands in front of Ruby and Koln's faces. 'Strange! It's like I've been talking to myself this entire time. Why won't they move...?'
She poked Koln square in the forehead, "Um... hello? Crazy priest who follows us?"
When she didn't receive any kind of response from the seemingly inanimate Koln, she repeated the process with Ruby, "Um... Ruby? Hello? Amish girl who knows karate?"
'Nope. Still nothing.' Sighing, she even poked Socrates, who was poking out of Koln's pocket, "You'll talk to me, right?"
;(

Koln and Ruby suddenly spring to life as if coming out of a trance. Following Ruby, Koln salutes Clover before doing a fantastic swan dive into the shaft. He lands into the water and finds himself completely submerged. Socratres comes out of his pocket and paddles around in the water making circles around Koln. Ruby splashes around before realizing where she is and that is swimming in an underground pool in the sewer.
Judging from the look of this area this is part of some kind of water purification facility. The room is about 30 feet long and completely filled with water that is at least 10 feet deep because Koln could not touch the bottom when he dove in. The bottom isn't visible in the darkness of the room. There is a large fan at the far end that is turning slowly and pushing the current towards Ruby and Koln, however it appears that this is the only way out from this room.
here is a map. I had to move things along, we were standing in the same spot for days >.<
ok... the fan. Would it be possible for Ruby to grab it and try breaking it?
After watching Koln and Ruby jump down, Clover knelt at the edge of the shaft and peered over the edge. Icarus also peered out, his little bunny eyes wide with terror. She looked at him, commenting in a casually confiding tone, "You hear that, Icarus? Splash. There's water down there. And if we had jumped, you'd be wet up to your little bunny eyeballs right now and we wouldn't have been prepared for it. I'm not too keen on swimming in sewer water, you know. But it doesn't smell like the water coming up from there is too bad."
Barring the obligatory "are you okay?" question (and assuming its answer, since she heard neither Ruby nor Koln calling out in protest) she called down into the shaft, "Is it clean?"
Ruby looks up while swimming in place. "Seems like it, reminds me of the pumps and windmills back home," she calls out with a smile. She looks down at her damp dress, 'so much for not getting this wet..' She carefully attmepts to swim towards the fan."Is it clean?"
