I heard a group of you went into the forest and discovered something there. Something I may be able to help with. Please contact me here, or arrange for a meeting place so we can talk. I would like to know more.
Also, Jack? Alex? I heard you went into the tunnels too. Did you both make it out in one piece?
Did you find anything?

[ He is grinning. She can't see it but it would be in his voice.]
Many a thing was found in both places. The rather short answer is: they are not a place you would wish to stay long.
[Yes. He found things alright.]

[And...that there was a bit confusing, but Chloe's interest is piqued.] You mean you found something in the tunnels and forest? [Now she's eager, sitting on the edge of her chair.] Wh-where c-can I find you? Do you know how to make your entries private?
W-we need to talk.

[He likes you, quite a bit now Chloe. Be a guarantee that he'll remember the name with the face!]
I happen to be doing my best impression of a shipwright in the woodworker's shed if you would be of a mind to join me?
[And since he is constructing a mast and boom, also happens to be sans a number of shirt like coverings.]

Good! I'll be right there.
[It took her a little longer than she expected, she got turned around a couple times, but Chloe ultimately finds the correct place, and the correct Jack--sans a shirt. Both eyebrows shoot up as she quickly and respectfully averts her gaze. It was a good thing she decided against bringing Derek, though now even she was having second thoughts. Still. Info! And Jack seemed respectable enough. Mostly. Maybe. Hopefully.]
H-hi. [She steps closer. Maybe if she tries to ignore that fact?]

Well, look what the cat dragged in. [All teasing aside, his smile is warm.]
I made it out in one piece, yeah .. mind you it was about a month later than we went in.
And do you mean stuff besides the crocodiles?

More like Nieta, but we can get to that later. [Her smile is wide and just as warm.]
I suppose we should be thankful we made it out at all! I had no idea the tunnels were a magical labrynth, did you? [Her expression bombers to one of deep concern and worry.] I'm glad you made it out okay. What about the others with you?
Crocodiles? There a-are crocodiles down there? No, we definitely did not run into any of them. We found something, though. There's so much to talk about...

No kidding. I have a distinct feeling that there is far worse in those tunnels than crocodiles .. As to it being a magical labyrinth .. I can't say I made that connection, although certain things point in that direction. I can swear we doubled back down a path that was a dead end at first and then had a few open pathways the second time around.
Everyone I ended up with got out in one piece .. [A moments' pause and then since Sollux didn't answer him, he continues.] Did you lost track of Sollux down there?
[A dry laugh, but he nods.]
Yeah .. there's a flooded section of the tunnels .. not too sure where it is, but it's definitely down there. Just .. be careful around the statues. If the damned crocodiles can come to life, I'm willing to bet that there are other sentries as well.
[He huffs out a sigh and then looks quite interested.] What'd you find? Would you rather meet somewhere and talk?

Flooded, huh? We ended up above ground in one part. Near the bell tower. There's a--it's hard to explain. Yes, we should talk in person. Is it okay if I bring Derek?
[Thinking back, Chloe doesn't remember if Alex and Derek met yet or not.]
