chroma | catchall for vin

i haven't had coffee yet so this won't be pretty yet

[she nods, and hurries after her.

her steps are light and quiet - it's mainly the swishing of her skirts that's making noise, although that's soft. jiuqing frowns slightly and lifts her skirts a bit to help quiet the noise.]

[she turns towards her to suggest just that as she picks up the noise, but jiuqing has it covered. nice. vin's pretty used to moving in a way with a goal of not being detected, so she's sticking close to the walls as they walk, bent low to make herself smaller, footsteps light enough to not echo out into the hall they're traveling down.

quietly, once they're a few more steps away from the last monster:]

How much further do you want to look?

Hmm...

[she glances back the way they've come, and then looks to the way forward. they're pretty decently far in at this point, and they haven't come across anyone in distress.]

...just a bit further, I think. If someone was hurt, they'd probably make some kind of a noise that we can hear, but we haven't heard anything or seen anything just yet. That's promising, but I'd like to be thorough.

[nodding.]

Alright.

[onwards!]

[onwards indeed!!

luckily, no one seems to have been hecked up by the monsters. they don't find anyone grievously injured or exhausted.]

...it appears people have been staying away from here, or at least avoiding the monsters if they've had to come.

[nodding.]

Then let's go.

[and hope they don't run into any monsters again on the way back.]

[i rolled a fckin 19 so i guess they don't

once they're out:]

...thank you for accompanying me. I feel a little better having checked that no one was stuck there.
