Ends Meet (Semi-Lit CS Pet RP) OPEN!

Saule
Chuckling at Rowena's fertilizer commentary as the white dog passes her and heads down the stairs, she waits a moment for Cyllo to pass by then enters the passage herself and steps on the panel to close the false wall behind them. She then follows them down the stone steps easily, her paws long used to the placement of every step as she deftly paces down. Her pace lets her arrive just behind Cyllo as he sees the plants. Smiling ear to ear at his surprise she says: "Thank's Cyllo! I just put them in the ground this morning." Saule pauses for a moment to nose one little plant that seems to have sagged a bit in the water she then looks up at the mirrors, gauging the light. Much of the day has passed in their conversation upstairs and it is now dusk. The once strong light directed down from the roof is now pale and slowly fading towards twilight. She takes one more moment to turn a nob on her way past, tilting the mirrors a bit to intensify the last of the day's light. Looking up, Saule sees that everyone is waiting for her on the other side of the greenhouse. More than a little embarrassed for getting distracted, she walks to the end of the row and bounds down, knowing instinctively where every plant has been placed. "Sorry about that. Sometimes it is just impossible to leave them alone." She says a little sheepishly before looking at the large round grate set into the wall. Swallowing the anxiety that rises in her throat at the thought of going into the sewers she looks over to Cyllo as he questions it. "Yeah, that's it... Lucky for us, I put this screen here to keep the rats out, so I don't think it is rusted shut yet." Glancing behind her she catches sight of a stick which she picks up in her jaws then returns to the entrance, using it to lever the thing open. With a little bit of reluctance, the iron grate lets out a groan and falls to the ground in a puff of dirt. Dropping the stick, Saule steps forward and peers into the darkness. Taking a half a step back she looks over her shoulder at her friends. "Alright... Who's first?"

Rowena

Rowena peered down into the dark entrance, shivering as fear once again began to creep over her. The ground leading into the black hole of the sewers was covered in rust, mud, soggy leaves, and other bits and pieces. They had most likely been washed down by the latest rainfall, and were now rotting and making the place all the less hospitable. The last light of the evening that came into the greenhouse behind her faded quickly into nothing as it entered the darkness of the hole.
"Well...if...if you want me to, I'll go first. My gemstone can give us a small amount of light; it glows if it's dark enough, and it certainly is in there." She tried to keep out the terrifying thoughts that rushed in at her. Rats, snakes, spiders, even a Rejtoc spy could be in there.

Saule
Saule looks at Rowena and smiles, greatly admiring her bravery. "Rowena, that is very brave of you, that is for sure! And we can definitely use the light. With the sun setting, we will need all the help we can get down there." Glancing back at Cyllo, her mind starts to work. Ok, so we have light, what else can we bring that will be helpful? An idea crossing her mind, Saule suddenly runs back towards her stock shelves. Nosing through them, knocking unused planters to the ground, she finally finds what she is looking for and bounds back to the other two dogs. Stopping in front of Cyllo, she drops a rather large, white rock at his feet. "Here, take that with you, Cyllo. It's chalk! You can use it to mark where we have been. Just make a mark with it every time we turn, then we will be able to find our way back!" Tail wagging slowly behind her, Saule looks at him expectantly, seeing what he thinks of the plan.

Cyllo smiled at Rowena's bravery, adding a "Thanks!" He turned when Saule bounded off. What could she be looking for? He thought, cocking his head with curiosity. When she came back, his eyes brightened with surprise. "What a great idea!" He exclaimed, picking it up in his jaws. "Welly smurt," he said with a muffled voice. He dropped it after a second and shook out his pelt, his bravery coming back to him. "I'll go second. We got this!" He smiled wryly and picked up the block of chalk in his jaws, waiting for Rowena to make the step into the black.

(( I wanted to let you know that I probably will not have access to a computer during July. Please feel free to RP Rowena then.))

[wolverine♥]

[That's fine! ^w^ I've been pretty busy also.]

[Soriams]

((Yeah, I know that feeling... Well here is a bit to keep us going. Hope to hear from you when you get back, Silver Stars!))

Saule
Saule nods to Cyllo, tail thumping the ground behind her in amusement as he tries to speak with the chalk in his mouth. Chuckling, she turns to Rowena, trying to hearten her friend a bit. "Well, I haven't been very far into the sewers, but I know this current line only runs out about 50 feet before it drops down to another line that must run up and down the back alley... So I guess we should make a right at the bottom. From there, your guess is as good as mine." She says, giving the white dog room to pass and lead the way forward.

(I think I'll make a post for Rowena to make it move. :0 God Silver Stars makes so much better posts with her than me!! xD)




Rowena nodded and swallowed, mustering her courage. With the soft swish of her white fur, the dog leaped up and paused at the entrance. Her necklace glowed dully, illuminating the path in front of her slightly. With out looking back, the blue-eyed dog crept into the dark.


Cyllo

With a sigh, Cyllo clambered up ungracefully, glancing behind him to wink at Saule before he disappeared into the black. His eyes strained against the dark, but the soft light from Rowena's necklace helped guide him as the moved through the murky pipe. Cyllo winced as he felt something squish under his paw. Pleasebealeafpleasebealeaf... he silently pleaded, not daring to look down at what he stepped on.

Saule
Saule follows Cyllo and Rowena, pacing quietly into the darkness with a little splashing of paws in the wet muck. Ick, why are we doing this again? Those pickles and canned fish are starting to sound better all the time... She thinks, swallowing as bile rises in her throat at the smell. She feels bad for Rowena, her beautiful with pelt will no doubt be horribly stained by this stuff. Saule is no stranger to dirty, muddy paws from her garden, but this is another matter entirely.

Rowena picked through the muddy substance with distaste, her ears starting to pin with disgust. Why couldn't the tunnel just be clean? Because It's sewage... she though with a shudder. She sighed and refrained from taking a deep breath, trying to breathe through her mouth instead of her nose. She didn't stop, though - she was doing this for her friends and she couldn't stop!




Cyllo followed Rowena quietly, trying to ignore the stench of the tanks. He walked close to the wall, dragging the chalk against it, wincing at the grating sound it was making. That's all right, though, because that thing could save our lives...

(WB for Cyllo. ;__;)
