The Grotto

Disaster has struck!
Years ago, an earthquake broke open several entrances into a deep, winding series of subterranean systems. It was thought that deep below, underground rivers snaked their way below Moladion. Now, flooding in the Northern reaches of Moladion has proven this theory to be true.

The Grotto is almost entirely submerged. Many of the entrances are completely inaccessible, and those that are only extend a few hundred feet before ending in water. The lower entrances, however, act almost like a giant drain for Moladion. Water pours down into the Grotto's maw as powerful rapids and waterfalls, and large amounts of debris have build up throughout the area. It can be exceptionally dangerous to travel due to the risk of flash-flooding and dams suddenly breaking, but the Grotto does offer the most consistent access across the floodwaters because of those dams.

Note:The Grotto will return to normal once 25 posts have been completed (or at Staff discretion). During this time, new threads will receive a 'Surprise','Disaster', and prizes.

Baby; I'm too hot for you

The female is watchful of us and I have to wonder what is going through her mind. I wonder if she thinks fearful of us? Perhaps not but then, why does she hesitate? It is clear my companion isn't going to jump at her and me? Well, what would I have to gain from attacking her? I am not the sort to jump without reason and right now; I've no reason. It would be foolish and I'd probably be attacked by the star-watcher. That is my guess anyway. No concern of mine though; it isn't even in my thoughts. I just find it weird that she would react as such. As though we were poison and she couldn't come close.

I tilted my nose a little then as she spoke and my ears twitched. I flicked them in her direction and listened with such a curiosity. I frowned a moment before shifting my weight and clearing my throat. "I won't bite you. I promise." It was one that I could keep honestly as I had no intentions of biting her. I had no intentions of harming her. I didn't want to bring fear into her heart as she's a pretty thing. Why would I harm something I considered pleasant? Someone I should say.

I shook my nose as I listened to the male then. I took in the words that he spoke and those glistening eyes captured him within them. I could honestly say that I'm troubled with his words. No, that isn't a good word maybe. I was not troubled. What was I then? Creeped out? No, that wasn't really the word for this feeling either. I was confused with my feelings but there wasn't a confusion of the normal sort. It was different and I really couldn't explain it. I'm not sure why but this guy was odd. It was eery to listen to him describe the stars. He understood them and they spoke to him? I cannot fathom how this is possible. I have to wonder if he's all there upstairs?

I didn't have the answer to this either really. I couldn't possibly as I am not inside his head. I don't think I would want to be either. Can you imagine that? That would be pretty creepy. I'm serious! This guy just isn't normal but then, he isn't cruel. I may not agree with what he thinks is possible but then, I'm not claiming that we're all the same either. I know that isn't the case and it never will be.

"I am Meltdown and you princess?"

I focused on the male again and caught his name. It was more than that though. I caught the words and I tilted my nose again. What was this guy about? Had he hit his head one too many times? Had he been dropped from the jaws of his pack mates when he was little and been damaged? I'm sorry but this guy is weird to me and I cannot help my thoughts. He's got a few screws loose I think. That is my opinion though and not one that I'll ever voice. Just the thoughts inside my head that will stay there.

"I guess he's Yojimbo."

This was the name I'd gathered anyway. It was what he'd said when telling us to come sit with him. Well, I think he was speaking to the girl because I'm already alongside him. I've been here and only glanced behind us when I heard the noises and realized that we were not alone. To notice the pretty thing and her hesitation in joining us. She shouldn't be fretting. Really, who was I to take what wasn't mine to destroy? Not that I'd a reason to make enemies of these two. I did not.

"So these stars you speak of; do you really hear them? Do they tell you things of importance?"

I really didn't want to fully write him off. I don't think that would be right. Anyway, I wasn't looking to have him hate me after all. I wasn't here to start a war. I thought they were genuine questions that I needed answers to. A part of me wants to understand him but I'm not sure I ever will. He is a bit intriguing though. Well, he brings a certain interest into my thoughts and I find myself wanting to learn a little more about him. The girl too; she's someone I'd like to get to know. she is quiet; thoughtful. What is it about her though? I'm still unsure of that answer. Maybe though; I'll have it in a little while.
