Forsaken shrugged. "So do we help hunt this howling turtle down, guys?" she asked looking to them looking a bit indifferent. Mentally she was yelling 'COME ON! I JUST WANT ONE MOMENT WHERE WE'RE NOT ATTACK OR HUNTING SOMETHING!' at the top of her lungs.

"I dunno, it sounds fishy to me," Ragnarok huffed. A faint, echoing sound, which seemed miles off, could be heard. "...sounds like it's not even here now."
"Well if that just doesn't smack a flame in winter," Wax groaned. "No point sticking around, then..."
Crona looked away. "We're not stopping you from staying with us," Crona offered.

"Well, we were kinda in the middle of our own thing," Mysterion reasoned. "But we can at least keep an eye out if you insist."
Paul hardly even responded to the proposal. However, his tail seemed to curl slightly behind Forsaken, as if to pull her closer to him. She was on a mission, and he was going to see to it that she gathered the information she needed, whether his part involved aiding in the examination or fending off whatever it was that sought to distract her.

The siren sighed. "On another topic.... Do you know anything about the vibrant stratum in the area, Mister Waxevious?" she asked as something was contemplated in her mind.

"Um, I don't think-" Wick shut his trap, Wax waving a hand in front of him.
"Not too many people who use such colorful language to describe the layers of the earth," Wax offered. "I'm a Fire-monster, not really an earth monster, but uh." He chuckled to himself. "When you explore a massive series of tunnels, you learn a few things when you head to a library."
"I hope you don't set off the sprinklers," Ragnarok joked.
"Ignoring inky over there," the black candle sighed. "Dimensional Island's pretty messed up in terms of its physical build- if you went into the caves and looked around, you'd notice that the ground doesn't really have layering- it's all a gigantic piece of modern art."
"What does that mean?" Crona asked.
"It means, the minerals on the island didn't come here naturally- they were originally part of something else."

Paul had to blink inquisitively at that statement, casting a curious glance at Forsaken.
"So... your theory is that this island might be made of chunks of other worlds?" Mysterion questioned. "I'm half-tempted to call bulls***, but considering what I know about this place... which honestly isn't saying much... I wouldn't rule it out."

"Correct Mysterion. The only way I could really know is to repel down the cliffs here. Something tells me that this might have been Rayn Gorge at one point," she offered.

"Rayn Gorge?" Crona asked, in sync with Wax, Wick, and even Ragnarok.
"That's a surprisingly tame name," Wax offered.

"I don't even know why, but it sounds kinda on the nose to me," Mysterion murmured, mostly to himself.
Paul stared down the ravine with an ever-curious glint and a rumble in his chest.

Forsaken snorted as she laughed. "The name is the only thing tame. It was home to class 5 rapids and some rather rough inks," she offered as her clothes shifted to what looked more appropriate for climbing than performing.

"Need a light?" Wax asked. "I can pull my heart from my wick if you need me to follow after you."

Mysterion and Paul exchanged glances. They both had the intent of following the party down there, but whereas Mysterion had the skill and nimble proportions for it, Paul was concerned that he would be ill-suited for this venture, given his size and limited maneuverability on the ground. He couldn't bear the thought of being separated from Forsaken again, but he had to face facts that he might be more of a nuisance than an ally in this tight spot.

Forsaken looked back to the group. "Yes I need a light but... no harming yourself okay?" the girls stated as she looked to Paul. "Do you mind watching the tethers? I need someone strong to do that. I tug once on ropes and you'd pull us up."

Wax Nodded. "Fortunately the wind's not too rough down there." He closed his eyes, the flame on his head warbling.
"Will you be okay down there?" Crona asked.

Paul gazed thoughtfully at Forsaken, then gave her a curt nod. Perhaps this was all the help he could and needed to provide. "Alevia."
Mysterion stepped closer to the ledge, nodding to each of his compatriots. He was ready to go.
