D4 MA - Slumming it [open]

[Dapper Dog]

There is a loud crash as something fell somewhere and it echoed throughout the underground.

[Djanik]

Bloody hell.

Djanik, once he had ensured the ceiling hadn't landed on his head, headed toward the noise. Maybe there was something, or someone, alive down here.

Maybe they needed help.

Maybe they were about to eat his face.

Life was full of exciting possibilities.

[Dapper Dog]

It looks like it was skull, now cracked in pieces of some sentient being. Looking up it may have fallen our of a window, perhaps?

[Daunt]

Daunt was moving a few steps behind, watching the larger hall with interest, his eyes trying to pierce the dark in upper rather than lower registers within whatever luminosity the device was providing.

[Djanik]

That was... odd.

Glancing about, he didn't see any other way out, so he might as well check out the building.

Prowling forward, he stepped into the building which had just launched a skull, hoping it might include a way out.

[Dapper Dog]

The building is leaning to the side but still accessible and seems to but up against the roof so it is possible.

[Djanik]

And in he went!

Djanik started examining the building, hoping it wasn't about to collapse.

[Daunt]

"So you're going to walk into this building with her?" Daunt asked, but apparently the Pantoran was too hasty to give him an answer. It was not without an opportunity. Once out of sight, the Zabrak sought a corner in which he triggered his lighstabre to finally have a good look around the space.

Looks like a road with some old rotted vehicles and buildings in collapse. That is what he sees and skeletal remains in some places of this vast under city tomb. Inside the building it is slow going as everything has shifted and blocked walkways but making their way upwards they see daylight and hear people above.

[Daunt]

Daunt wanted to stay in the tomb for a while more and roam around for something of interest even after Djanik would have found the exit.

[Djanik]

For his part, Djanik was focused on getting Scrap out. He could poke around later if he felt the urge, but for now, at least, he was going to avoid adding the kid to the casualty figures.

At the top they find access to the surface and a crew of locals looking at the new hole.

There are lots of old artifacts here, though what worth they have is probably for a museum if anyone cared... but so far mostly it looks like a battle may have taken place or some kind of violence and then someone just built over the top of it.

[Daunt]

Daunt took his time. He didn't know what he was looking for, just felt the urge to do so. Maybe a surviving datapad that could explain what had occurred, maybe just some fancy souvenir from this discovery. Vaguely, he let the Force be involved in where his instinct led.

[Djanik]

Djanik took the chance to head back to the surface, and then told Scrap to head back to the usual diner, he'd meet her there.

Then he headed back down, to find Daunt.

He didn't raise his voice, but he did ask, speaking into the hollow space "You coming out? I found an exit, and I'm not sure how safe it is, down here."

[Daunt]

An aura changed slightly as if some source of light had got extinguished just before he asked. "Go on without me." The voice from some dark corner replied.

[Djanik]

"If... you are certain."

He made his way through the dark toward the Zabrak.

"What do you think this was, anyway?"

[Daunt]

"A violent clash the so-called ordinary people wanted to move on from, that's the best I can tell you. Can't say what the stakes were or who it was."

[Dapper Dog]

He finds sitting in a vehicle a data pad, it has no power but it could have data.

[Djanik]

Djanik paused by the vehicle, trying to place what year it was - or at least, what manufacture.

"Well... I wouldn't mind knowing more, but at the same time, I'm not too keen on seeing the underside of that roof, up close and personal."

He cast his gaze over the space, looking to see if anything else stood out, before heading back toward the building he'd found an exit in.

"Be careful, all right?"

[Daunt]

"Nice of you to care. I will, Janik. Have a good post-disaster evening." He had taken the datapad. "On second thought, I may well go out now and get back later. The place will probably not go away."

[Djanik]

"Yes, though it may be crawling in civil engineers soon."

He glanced up.

"I can't see the city just leaving a potential sinkhole like this sitting about."

[Delia]

“It’s nothing special... he’s a little kid. Can’t talk. Got problems. I just felt someone should help him.”

"And that someone was you, not many people would simply take that responsibility," she responded.

[Rannek Nire]

He shrugged, "I was there. Other people weren't. I feel someone else would'a done the same."

He pushed through a thicker group of people, paving a path for Delia.

"I got the feelin' that you'd probably have done the same."

[Delia]

"You think so?" she said looking at him.

"I was quite the selfish person when I was younger... the plight of others did not concern me."

[Rannek Nire]

"We all used to be something... Most of the time it's something we'd shake our heads about now. What matters is who we are here and now." He replied.
