"'S magic." She grins and pats him inside, "Just get walkin', the city's down there. I'll tell you the easy stuff on the way down." After she successfully shoved him into the stairway, she follows after and raps on the stone wall. There's a stone rumbling, and the door closes shut behind them

[Yokuutsu]

Vincent is a bit anxious about all this. Who wouldn't be? He literally knows nothing about what he's walking into or anything, but he felt like he couldn't stay where he was tthough. "Alright." He says softly as he starts walking, looking back at her for a bit. "The easy stuff?" He asks.

[Liethell]

"My thinkin' is that you cain't tell thick from thin in th'underworld." She grins and leads the way down the stairs. It's a very long staircase, but thankfully, it's lit up from above by regular old florescent lights.
"So I'll give yah the watered-down version. Basically, I jus' ask the rock to move, an' then he does. Tha's all there is to my magic, at least."

[Yokuutsu]

Vincent bows his head a bit....because what she said was absolutely true. "Well, it isn't like I grew up in it or anything." He says softly as he pads after Trissie. "Alright." But it didn't look that easy to him...he thinks there is a bit more to it and all. "What's it like down there?" He asks softly.

[Liethell]

"Stinky." She laughs, "But it's freein' in a way. 'S jus' like regular life up there, but ain' nobody gon' judge you for flyin' to work or havin' horns or glowin' eyes. I met Harold here." She sighs, it sounds like a gentle sigh. The sound of someone deeply in love. "Sure, s'a dirty place. Lots o'roguh people down there. But 's home for those who ain' got none."

As they walk, the wall ends and gives way to a metal guardrail, and the two can see that they are high above a massive, vast sphere carved out of the earth. It's large and humid here--stinky, just like Trissie promised, it smells of something old. Clouds hang near the top of the ceiling, as if this place is it's own ecosystem. Down below, there are buildings made of metal and there are many made out of rock, and there's a startling amount of trees and plants growing on the rock or on the rooftops of high rise buildings or in parks. Though the majority of the carved out rock looks like square buildings and some roads, there's a n area left completely and totally grassy and filled with trees. There are massive vents on the spherical walls and ceiling and there are even bigger holes that sometimes have lights coming from them and sometimes they do not. Some vents and holes have paths built out of rock leading to them, but many don't. As they walk, the other side of the staircase opens up and leads to a path, and down that path there are homes carved right out of the stone with grass and moss growing over them and even a tiny river. As they continue down, he notices that there are many of these paths all around the hollow sphere in the ground, there are occasionally ribbons of carved-out spaces where homes and school buildings and small shops and libraries and things sit. Their staircase seems to be leading to a main city road below. Trissie says nothing, but she turns to watch his reaction to the city...

[Yokuutsu]

Vincent can't help but snort a bit. "Well, I never expected a city in the sewers to smell like roses." He couldn't help but say it. "Judging and freaking out are two different things, remember that." Say he didn't see Trissie...and suddenly there are glowing eyes? He might freak out a bit. It would be scary. "You like it." He can tell, so it can't be too bad of a place or anything.

He can't help but look around, surprised at the clouds and things that aren't algae growing. Or things like algae. Also, he does like the ingenuity of building into the stone, instead of doing like many would and moving the stone to where they want to be. Though....in this case, it might be the same thing. He's doing his best to ignore the smell because he knows he'll get used to it if he stays down here long enough. "How....has this place not been discovered yet?" He can't help but ask. It's still connected to the sewer system...and aren't there buildings nearby? And with sanitation having to inspect and clean sewers...he doesn't know how something this big and advanced can still be hidden. It is amazing.

[Liethell]

"Complex system of magic. Somethin' about recognizing who does and who doesn't got the spark in em, you know? OF course, that ain't to say nobody's ever discovered it when they weren't meant to. Do you know how many santation workers we deal with? We got a man down here somewhere that deals with altering memories and all that hullabaloo. Heard we was plannin' on getting some experts from Russia to move us someplace secluded, maybe deeper underground, but s'not like it'll happen in my lifetime." She snorts and leads him on. There's people here too, as they pass by a row of homes, they see some kids--kids with horns, of course, but still kids. "wasn't the smartest idea carvin' out a cave under the sewers, but nobody thought it'd get this big." She shrugs.

[Yokuutsu]

Vincent pads after her. "Well, then how did they get in here and everything? Did the door malfunction or something?" He's just wondering because, that door malfunctioning, if it is, might make him worry about what else could malfunction down here and all. He frowns a bit at the altering memories bit-but part of that is from reading so many books that mention that too much of it will destroy a person's brain pretty much. "But how would anyone move all this? All the people?" He can't help but ask. Some people can be fairly stubborn once they lay down their roots. He watches the kids a bit, his head tilted. "Well, that's how some cities ended up in horrible spots, they're not moving yet either." He says, kind of snorting a bit.

(My internet has been down for like 30 hours. It just came back. I missed it so.)

[Liethell]

(Ugh, that must've sucked. What happened, bad weather?)
"You know," She scratches her chin, "I ain' too sure how they get in. I know the door ain' too sensitive, but sometimes it picks up on magical items, so maybe someone gone and sold a few magical items above ground and they make their way back? It ain' my field Vincent, you'll have to ask someone else." She walks on, then listens to his queries about moving with a big grin. "Well thas' just the trikc now, aint it. Ain' nobody gotta move outta their homes. The way I had it 'splained to me, we'd trade out a chunk a'land from somewhere else and jus' switch the two land chunks. This here hole would be filled in solid, and we'd have a hole somewhere else. Might puzzle a few geologists here 'n there, but s'not like it hadn' happened a'fore." She giggles.

[Yokuutsu]

(They say the fiber optic cable got cut in multiple places....they suck balls)

"Shouldn't there be a way that it can't be activated by items? That it has to be a living being opening it or something?" Vincent can't help but ask. It's a security flaw to say the least...and it could be pretty bad depending on who comes through with it. He just looks really confused as Trissie talks. "...how? How is that possible?" That has to take a lot of energy for that to be done and all. "Where's it been done before?" He's curious.

[Liethell]

(Ughh, I'm sorry to hear that :C)
"Hard not tah, Vincent. Yah feel this at all?" She holds up her hand and something like green, glowing smoke wafts from it, almost like she had just pulled her hand from a fire. Whether he feels magic being used or not depends largely on his sensitivity to it. She shakes the smoke off. "Magic's magic. Feels different depending on the kind, but magic's it's own feel, and that feel is what the door locks on, got it?" She grins and they keep walking. It's a very, very long way to the bottom. It'd be a true fright to fall off the stairs, but they have guardrails made of metal to keep them from toppling over. "S' been done before in small amounts. S'possible on a big scale. Theoretically."

[Yokuutsu]

(Well, it has been fixed apparently so it's all good)

Vincent makes a strange noise at the green stuff. He just doesn't like it in general for some reason. It makes the hairs on the back of his neck stand up and all. "There should be a way to differentiate somehow, whether they can make the door do that....well, that's a bit different." He says as he follows after her. "Theoretically doesn't always work well in practice." That can be a problem depending on what's going on.

[Liethell]

(I apologize for my slowness lately. I've had school, and I've had a lot of hard schoolwork to do. Gotta keep on the Dean's list, you know :P)

"Hard ta' tell. You seem caught up on that there door, migh' wanna make a career out of it." She laughs again, and they finally reach the bottom of the stairs. The ground here feels like the ground above--They're standing on a concrete slab, part of a sidewalk, and they're on a main road too. It goes down to their right for a long way, and there are lots of intersecting roads too. Most of the traffic is pedestrian though, and the few motor vehicles the two of them can hear are not on this main road. "I coul' go an' lead you round till Harold n' Leet come back if yah like, but if you have a fixin' to go somewhere, jus' lead the way. I'm yer babysitter for the meantime."

[Yokuutsu]

(I'm sorry it's taken me so long .-. Idk why but I've just been blah)

Vincent shrugs a bit. "Well, when it comes to security....it's better for it to be secure instead of having to fix what creeps through and all." Because what if someone gets down here, sees stuff and is able to get back up there to tell others? It wouldn't be good. It could happen someday. "I don't know of anywhere to go. I don't know anything about this place at all..." He shrugs a bit, not taking offense to the babysitter bit-it's the truth, sadly.

[Liethell]

(I know the feeling. Seems like everyone's that way these days. :C)
"It sure does, but you can't seem to leave the damned door alone!" She laughs. "You ain't got a hankering to e'splore? Well maybe we can show you someplace real neat." She grins--but it's not just any grin. This is the kind of grin that usually precedes some kind of mischief. She begins to lead him down the sidewalk, her hand wrapped around his wrist.

[Yokuutsu]

(I don't mean to do it D: )

Vincent bows his head. "I don't mean to focus on it..." He does it without thinking to tell the truth. "It's not that...I'm just not wanting to end up lost..." And he has no clue what's around to explore either. He tilts his head a bit when he sees that grin. "Where are we going?" He can't help but ask.
