Am I the only one starting to get creeped out by all these cracks in the ground?

*Danny turns the camera towards the ground, showing a particularly large fissure. It's too dark inside for the camera to reach more than a few feet, and looks wide enough that jumping over it is not just an inconvenience, but unsafe.*

*The camera turns back to him.* I've

Then may I ask why you keep repeating the process?

Misplaced hope or boredom?

[phantomfenton]

Can I choose both?

I stopped trying to fill it in when I saw what was happening. Before that, though, I kept thinking it might still somehow help, or something.

Now I know better.

[alphaophiuchi]

It's not like something is going to leap out at you from it. Why not just simply avoid the things?

[phantomfenton]

Because something actually might?

I've got a bad feeling about this whole earthquake thing. This isn't normal, and as far as I remember, especially-abnormal-things happening in Somarium tend to blow up in our faces.

[alphaophiuchi]

Nothing's got me so far.

Well, yes. That does tend to be the way things work around here, yes. [he recalls Danny but vaguely. It was a while ago.] You're back.

[phantomfenton]

So far.

Well, then, you see my point?

... Um. Yeah--did you, um, know me? *Danny looks at him again, squinting a little. This guy looks mildly familiar if he thinks hard about it--but then again, so do a lot of other things he's not sure about.*

So filling them really does just make things worse? [A frown. She had seen the cracks too, and wanted to do something about them. They were so dangerous! But if they only got worse...]

Re: video;

[phantomfenton]

That's what I've been seeing so far.

If that's the case, though, then I'm kind of at a loss for what to do about them.

[idkmybffsakaki]

Huh, that's weird. You would think filling them would make things better.

[But when did Somarium make sense?]

Re: video;

[phantomfenton]

Yeah, you'd think.

Have you ever seen anything like this, before?

[onetoraisehim]

They are a bit shady, especially as we do not know what is causing them.

[phantomfenton]

Yeah, that's what's kind of worrying me the most.

These earthquakes and stuff didn't just come out of nowhere. Something has got to be causing them.

[onetoraisehim]

Yes, I agree. [She's thinking for a moment.] Maybe they're dreamquakes?

[yeah.., she really doesn't know.]

(Badump-TSH.)

[phantomfenton]

Dreamquakes?

Uh.

Like--are you saying our dreams are the ones at fault? Somehow?

[dedikayted]

What did you use to fill it in?

[phantomfenton]

Just some dirt. And some snow.

Maybe a rock or two.

[dedikayted]

Oh...maybe they fell through eventually?

[phantomfenton]

Fell through?

*His eyebrows float up like a pair of slow-witted, eye-brow-shaped balloons.* Like--as if the cracks were just getting bigger all along?
