DUNGEON LOG: KEYSTONE SHORE

The morning of the 9th, everyone will get a message sent to their communication devices -

Okay, guys! I think we have enough stabilizers to try and get the shoreline stable. If you want to help out, grab your supplies and come on up to the roof!

When characters arrive at the roof, they'll find Top - with a wheeling table full of many copies of the same odd-looking device - the two exploratory drones, and a ramp down off the roof to the ground. (The latter looks a little hastily constructed.)

"Okay," Top says, picking up one of the devices. "Here's the stabilizers. Stick them to walls and stuff - mostly out of the way places where they're not going to get knocked off - and then press the buttons along the side."

They demonstrate, unfolding the set of legs at one end of the device before showing the buttons to anyone who's close enough. "Go ahead and take a couple, especially if you've got one of those space-saving inventories going on, I know there's like four of you with those? Strange got some first aid kits together, too, if you want."

Sure enough, another table nearby has the med kits... As well as traditional paper bag lunches, courtesy of Bottom. Don't question it too much.

"We'll be staying back here to keep track of the stabilization progress and work the drones," Top says, "but don't hesitate to call if you get in trouble! We'll send one of these guys down to get you an evac if you need it."

And with that, you're free to go down the ramp... Or to make for the beach however else you might choose to go.

I see. I guess I have no choice then.

[Touma surveys the surrounding area for a moment before sitting down near a relatively stable wall.]

I'll stay here with you.

[She sighs.] ...and I have a feeling that trying to convince you that's not necessary's just going to be annoying and undignified for both of us, isn't it.
fantasykiller: (So..Yeah.)

[He frowns.]

Am I really that much of an unreasonable guy? Since I don't feel comfortable leaving you here to sleep in a crumbling ruin and you don't want to move, I figured me sticking around is a good compromise.
dubiouslychthonic: (Skeptical)

I'm a grown woman, Touma, I don't need grubwrangling.

But if you want to stay, you can.
fantasykiller: (Not amused)

So what you're an adult? That doesn't magically make you immune to needing help or protection.

And don't try to turn this around and make it seem like you're doing this for my benefit. I may only be a normal high school student, but that doesn't mean I'm completely powerless and can't help you in any significant way.

What part of "I haven't slept in thirty hours" makes you think I want to debate how competent you are?

[She sighs, and rubs at her face; the gesture pushes her glasses up her forehead to catch against the bases of her horns. When she continues, her voice is just a little muffled from behind her wrist.]

I'm not doing shit for your benefit, I'm conceding to your better judgement, ok? I'm not going to ask you to stick around if you have better things to do, but you volunteered, so I accept.
