Thirty-Seven - [Action] Action Luceti is go!

[Now that Sho has been taken care of, Sigmund is directing people towards the tunnels now. His orders are pretty much whatever he's told you in the other post. If he hasn't gotten to you with orders yet, I'll be getting to them soon. This post is for people to get settled and mingle at the tunnels. Anyone can interact, whether they're inside,

[Once Stella gets settled, she sits with her back against the wall. She doesn't want to put Sophie on the cold tunnel floors, and so she keeps her in her lap as the little girl stands up on her legs and reaches up to tug at mommy's cheeks.

Despite the sadness and panic she feels - really feels, now that Sona's influence is driven back even more, Stella still smiles. It's for Sophie, after all.]

You're safe down here, Sophie. Mommy and daddy are here with you.

[Rika's right by you and Senny (if he's right there at the moment), Stella. She's doing her best to be strong and hide it, but Shirley's death, even if she didn't know her very well, still managed to hit her pretty hard. She's relatively quiet for now, just sitting next to Stella and staring at the ground.]

[Although she's keeping Sophie balanced, being a mom means learning how to do things like this with one arm. She keeps a gentle hold on Sophie's arm with one hand, and she then uses her free arm to slide it around Rika's shoulders and pull her close against her side.]

[Rika blinks at the action, looking over at Stella for a moment before smiling and lightly leaning against her. She's worried as all hell right now, but panicking or throwing an emotional fit isn't going to make anyone feel any better.]

Mii ... Thank you, Stella.

[Not too far from the entrance to the tunnels, Golbez sits, waiting for his friends and allies to arrive.]

[At some point, Kratos will be heading toward the tunnels, intent on protecting those he's in charge of and everyone else within. He passes by Golbez on the way, and he pauses to give him a nod of greeting.]

Sir Aurion. [He nods briefly in response.]

Golbez. [...Maybe he can stick around and chat for a little bit. He stops, glancing over the village.] What do you make of this situation?

[Hurdy, now inside the tunnels, picks up his Hurdy-gurdy and takes out his handkerchief inside his pocket. He then wipes off the dirt that's covering his instrument. For now, all what Hurdy has to do now, is wait.]

[goldenfirefly]

[Stella, who's sitting nearby, sees him doing this, and is very interested! She still has baby Sophie in her lap, who's giggling despite the situation at hand.]

What do you have there, Hurdy?

[kuposongs]

Oh this, kupo? This is my Hurdy-gurdy, kupo.

[/is still wiping dirt.]

[goldenfirefly]

A... Hurdy-gurdy? [She tilts her head to try and get a better look.]

[Also outside, Seymour is ready to cast whatever protective spells might be needed. And man, is he ever glad to have his magic back at full strength, even though he's still lacking Anima.]

Do not venture too far from the tunnels, or I will not be able to shield you with my spells.

[taintedfayth]

[He turns to scrutinize the area Ted was pointing to. It's a bit of a distance away, but not out of the range of Seymour's magic.]

As long as you do not move around, my spells should be able to reach you there.

[Zero's chilling near the front of the tunnels, currently checking his recently reacquired equipment. Recoil Rod, check. Shield Boomerang, got that too. Chain rod? Sure thing.]

Weapons made by the Resistance to fight Neo Arcadia.

[Zero slides the two Z-Sabers into small holsters on each hip.]

You should head further into the tunnels and meet up with everyone else.
