How is it that the dust storm cleared so quickly? I've never seen anything like it.

[Pause. Oh dear.]

Unless...

[Cue realization that the few hours in the tunnels was actually much longer than that.]

..Just how long were we gone?

[Hell with this, she's off to get herself a drink. Vie can be found in the Stable Tower bar area, sitting on the counter with

Longer than I thought. Must have lost track of time with all the fun we were having down there.

[gotyourwallet]

Even so. From my experience with those kinds of storms, they last longer than a few hours.

[The cogs in her brain are already ticking over.]

[iwannabeadragon]

...Just how much of that gas did we breathe in?

[gotyourwallet]

What, you don't suppose we all passed out for a week without realizing.

[In this place, it wouldn't really surprise her.]

Weeks? That... doesn't make sense.

[Nothing ever does.]

Yes. I trust you were down there as well then?

[Sadly, Vie hasn't. Yet.]

...Perhaps it would be best if we spoke in person.

Nearly a month.

What happened to you all?

Audio

[gotyourwallet]

We can't of been down there more than a few hours, and even that is pushing limits.

What happened up here? Did anything change in our absence?

Audio

[3wayforjustice]

You were down there for weeks... Where ever were you?

... The dust cleared.

[gotyourwallet]

It was hours, for us at least. I guess time moves differently down there or we fell into a warp or something. It's... puzzling.

We were chased by stone crocodiles, found a hallway and effectively got lost in it. Really, it wasn't that long.

Vie!

[Have a pirate that's walking back into the bar. He's decided that booze solves all questions. He goes to pick up his own brand of trouble from the bar.]

How are you doing, dove?

[gotyourwallet]

Jack!

[Vie looks up from her writing to smile at him.]

I'm alright. A little confused by the apparent time skip, but good otherwise. What of you?

[commentlog]

[kptn_sparrow]

Disturbed by it, I am.

[ Still, he returns the smile.

His hand gestures are a little wild accompanying his words.]

Besides that, my limbs are intact, I've a free tab to all manner of drink, and I'm in the presence of a pretty lady, so I would say it was a good day, if it weren't for all the weirdness.

[Feel free to ignore the part about complimenting you Elizavie. As is, he's buried his head in the liquor and is on the hunt for something good and strong. ]

[Sorry Jack, Vie's might have a bit of alcohol in her system by now, but she's still aware. The compliment doesn't go missed. For a moment she just... watches him, then takes her bottle in hand for another drink.]

Quite the selection on offer in this place, Jack.

[She takes a swig and sets the bottle down.]

Out of curiosity, have you looked at the book you picked up on our little adventure downstairs?
