[color=6ecff6]"Crazy... all this rune stuff, still workin' after all these years. Betcha we're gonna find some stuff that'll be worth a fortune to the UM. Guess that's part of the reason the Boss is puttin' so much effort into this place."[/color] Lucy says, staring in amazement at the walls. Ash is in the back, and slows down a bit as the sand starts to re-form, keeping an eye on it to make sure it doesn't try to run out and bury them.

[color=6ecff6]"Hey, you think all of this rune stuff is bein' powered by the dagger? Is it better to keep pumpin' magic into it, or should we see if we can turn it off?"[/color] Lucille asks the other two.

[color=ed1c24]"Well, keeping it on could activate some rune-powered traps in this place, but judging from the previous room, I'm willing to bet we're going to have to keep using it if we want to progress further in. And the Isz would not guard an area so thoroughly if there wasn't something worth guarding."[/color] offers Ash. [color=ed1c24]"Which means my vote is for keeping it powered, and being more careful"[/color]

[color=6ecff6]"Jeez, I get it, I'm sorry for almost killin' us, and I promise to not do that kinda stuff again. I learned my lesson, I'm good now, you don't need to keep pesterin' me."[/color] Lucy huffs at the other two women.
