They were spotted!? Wade could barely see the figures but he could make out the salute as the tall person left. Left to get reinforcements!! Wade shot another alarmed glance back at Max, then back towards the short, angry guy that looked like he was coming this way quick. This was bad. And it...

"Uhm, right!" Wade agreed. Hesitating, he took a quick glance around to find a path to the drills, then watched as Max already began his investigation. Yeah, he really needed to step on it. Upon entering the room, Wade paused to gape at the sheer size of the room, before Max cleared his throat...

Standing in total darkness, was he now? Wade almost wanted to shiver but it still felt a little hard to believe. Out of sight, out of mind. This miasma was really out of sight, too. It made him feel so... disconnected from the environment. It was just a creepy bookshelf room to him, and yet...

Wade's shoulders dropped as he watched the two leave-- the two octolings. He was sure that's what they were, with their curly tentacles and outwards suckers. He'd seen a couple in the past few days but Wade still wasn't used to seeing real octolings so near. Truth be told, he'd already suspected...

With all the books in his arms, Wade slipped into Max's radius as they both backed into the supposed darkness. Wade supposed he'd feel more freaked out, seeing the actual darkness they were submerging themselves in, but the invisible was also unnerving. Just in a different way. It didn't feel...

Max was here, people were coming... They needed a plan so Wade had to speak quick. "Two of them. They heard us earlier," Wade whispered. "Do we hide or figh--" “--shut up,” Max hissed, clamping one hand on Wade’s mouth, then dragged them both into the miasma room. So they were hiding. Cool...

Wade spun around and backed up next to the doorway, just out of sight from the other room. He took another slow breath, in through the mouth, out through the nose. There were people in the other room. Holy carp, there were actual people in the other room. Wade had heard footsteps last night...

Wade flipped through a couple more pages, looking for something with pictures, or maybe a legend or a guide on how to read this until he finally gave up looking for something easy to decipher. He sighed and tucked the book he currently had under his arm. "Hey Max?" Wade called into the other...

Wade gaped at the stack of books Max had so graciously piled outside the room with wide-eyed shock and giddiness. He quickly pulled himself together, grinning and taking a seat outside the doorway, right next to the stack of books. "Yeah, I'll be careful," Wade replied Max, with the flippancy...

Suddenly reeled back, Wade nearly yelped before covering his own mouth with his hand. He'd heard Max call his name briefly, as he started walking towards the room, but... the last thing he needed in these creepy tunnels was a sudden jolt. So what the shell was this?! Spinning around, Wade...

Who could have thought that after so much empty tunnel, they'd still find another passage? Granted, no one had been searching for more 'avenues of exploration' last night. Even if Wade saw the path then, he probably would have refused to go anywhere besides the subway exit, using whatever mopey...

After looking into the mirror for a moment, Wade stared into the hallway, looking utterly perplexed. He remembered this darkness and indigo runes from yesterday, but he also remembered.... seeing them? But not through the mirror. "Maybe you should hold onto that notebook and be the person to...

"So uhm, we're going this way, right?" Wade said, pointing down the untaken path. "...'Cover new ground' and all that?" He sincerely hoped that Max was still down with the quote unquote "plan". Max nodded, trance-like as if he were fixed onto something down the last path. "Mhm..." he said...

Wade turned on his flashlight as they entered the underground darkness, now for a second excursion in a row. He still only had a loose idea of where they were going. Max and him agreed to 'keep investigating' though so naturally they'd find where they left off yesterday, and then from there...

"Wade's here." Yup. He was here. Just like agreed so Max didn't immediately run off to the tunnels. Wade'd succeeded in stalling, but that was about as far as he had thought through to this point. His train of thought had been kind of derailed earlier when the silver mirror came back to him...
