[Jenny's at the well throwing a long rope down the hole, and securing it to the ground. She knows whoever goes down there is going to need a way up, and though she can't guarantee that nobody will cut the rope, it's worth a chance. As soon as she's got it ready, she'll be repelling down herself. Of course, she has no idea how far down the hole is, so she'll be reaching the end of her rope before she reaches the bottom. Thinking Quickly, she unhooks herself from the rope, and lets herself drop the rest of the way down into the tunnel, somehow managing to land on her feet before slipping and falling right on her ass with an echoing bang coming from her boots and knives.]


...Well, that was fun...

I don't think I've ever been so uncoordinated with my landings before.

[There's some shifting sounds as she gets up, and then the echo of her boots sounding off the floor. All this is followed by the sounds of a knife hitting a rock, and then the crackle of flames as she uses a flint to get a torch started.]

Wow, feels just like Messa. Except there's no guns or war.

[Everything said or done seems to echo strangely off the walls of the tunnel, including the sudden screeching sound of metal scraping against rock, followed by only silence.]

You didn't come into the tunnels, did you?

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Of course I did. I wanted to search this place for myself.

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

Don't suppose you have a way to get out, do ya? My powers're out, meaning I can't just fly out with Duo.

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

I dropped a rope down, but it came a bit short of the bottom. We'll have to either give someone a lift up, or someone's going to have to jump or find some way to climb up to it.

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

Well, it's better'n nothing, I guess. Though from the sound of you landing, I'm guessing I'm not the only one having trouble with their powers.

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Some of my usual strength is gone, but I should be able to adapt without problems.

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

Well, at least you aren't too set back. Lets hope there's nothing down here that wants to eat us, though.

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Anything down here like that is just asking for a beating.

[He can probably hear her already picking at a lock on one of the doors.]

What have you guys found so far?

[She's being more serious right now, as she's in soldier mode.]

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

*Was halfway in leader-mode himself, now that it's time to explain things, he's all the way there* Got into a few rooms. They all seem the same, though. A table that looks like it's set up for draining liquids and a bunch of papers on people in Luceti. Including mine. *Shuffling* Yours, too. Can't read 'em, though. They're in a code I don't recognize.

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

[The sound of the lock clicking open, and the door opening. She'll be stepping into a room to see things for herself.]

I can take a good guess as to what type of liquids...

[Her words are more like a passing thought before there's nothing but the sound of her boots against the floor, followed by the the rustling of papers.]

I'd say binary, but that's all one's and zero's.

[The sound of sheet of paper being moved, and then some scribbling of a pencil. When she speaks again, she sounds as if she's lost in her own thoughts.]

...Maybe I can use binary to help me out...and add a few other number codes together...and then...maybe...if I add a few different galactic codes to it...no...maybe if I do this...

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

Don't think it's based on binary. I can read that without too much trouble. This doesn't look a thing like it, except they both use numbers. Might be one of those codes with each number representing a single letter. That'd make it harder, though...

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Well, I wasn't only using binary as a basis. There's other codes too that I've been combining together with it.

I don't think it's a code like that.

...Maybe it's not even a code. Maybe it's an actual language that only looks like numbers to us. I've never seen languages like that personally, but I know they exist. Some inter-galactic beings use languages like that. It's just a guess though.

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

That's possible. I know some old languages had alphabets that were way different from the one we use now. If that's the case, then this is gonna be even harder. Damn, if only Shion, KOS_MOS or MOMO were here...they're the ones who're good at this stuff.
