[quote=Layla][color=7ABBFF][b]“Hiii, Britney. Uh, can we talk later?”[/b][/color][/quote]

Britney noticed the hesitation in Layla's voice but disregarded it as Britney just smiled at her and said,

[color=f4eb93]”... Sure thing!”[/color]

However, Jack began a long-winded yapping spree, and Britney rolled her eyes as Jack went on and on. Man! For all his genius, Jack never heard of the word [i]brevity[/i], now, did he? She chuckled at her joke as she sat by Greyson, though she zoned out for a bit. A lot of it was shit she already knew, except for their expedition into Gloom. She would volunteer herself to go, but she and Kenshiro... yeah, they don't get along, and it probably be would be best if Britney remained in Shimmer. However, the next person to speak up was Lynn...

[quote=Lynn (Who's now a Moderate Liability!)][color=F08080]“Speaking of journeys, the future points towards one filled with horror and tribulation. There is one artifact that can answer all our questions and needs for security.  One that would tell us where Kari is, one that would find all of the stolen artifacts, one that would reveal the location of each and every member of 8th street in case a war to break out, where farther wolf truly is. Kari’s Wayfinder.  That, or one of its replicas.  I know where they are, I know we will be able to get them. Do you all remember Goro?  They have a sibling named Yoko.  Goro has been missing since searching for the Abberation killer in New York.  I believe he found it, but can’t get away from where he is at.  As such, his sister has departed with the Wayfinder and several replicas and we will be able to get one or the other.  And we will find all of them. In a place where hope goes to die. The Pit, and in each ten possible futures I’ve narrowed down it is a vital piece of the puzzle to solve this Kari drama.”[/color] [/quote]


[color=f4eb93]”[i]So that psychopath did yeet herself into the Pit…[/i]”[/color] Britney spoke out loud to nobody in particular. Britney tried to get Yoko to realize that going down there was suicide, but she wouldn’t listen. That was on her - though Britney couldn’t help but [i]admire[/i] Yoko’s dedication to her brother. However, Lynn suggested they go into the Pit - taking Blackmore, Luna, Leon, and herself down there for the Wayfinder. While Britney could care less about Luna or Leon, she wouldn't send Blackmore down there (woman-beater or not). Now, Britney had no clue what the Wayfinder was or what it did, but from what she could infer, Kari and Goro made it. Britney stared at Lynn like it was the dumbest thing she’d ever heard….

[color=f4eb93]”…. [i]That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.[/i]”[/color]

It was. Lynn had no clue what she was even suggesting! Were they all so desperate that people were throwing out crazy ideas just because? Britney tilted her head at Lynn.  Unfortunately, Aaron entertained this craziness instead of just treating it as one of Lynn’s intrusive thoughts that she let out. This meant the others would join soon, but Britney wanted to tell Lynn why it was a lousy idea [i]politely[/i]. So, it was time for the Coven’s magical expert to magical expert.

[color=f4eb93]”I mean, look, Lynnie, I know you probably put a ton of thought behind this,”[/color] Britney lied through her teeth because it was just the most head-empty ideation she ever heard, [color=f4eb93]”But, it’s not going to be that simple. You know the Pit is not just full of monsters, right? It’s [i]big,[/i] like huge. It’s the fragments of several worlds colligated. Going through it [i]hoping[/i] to find one artifact is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but the haystack’s on fire. And the needle is infected with HIV.”[/color]

Britney then clapped her hands together, hoping that Lynn would [i]finally[/i] get it. Get what she meant, and stop wasting [color=f4eb93]”But, let’s say you do find the Wayfinder or Goro or…”[/color] Britney visibly cringed, before she said, [color=f4eb93]”... [i]Yoko.[/i] How do you suppose this ‘expeditionary party’ gets out? The Pit redirects [i]any[/i] teleportation [i][b]back[/b][/i] into it. Meaning it's going to be next to impossible to get out.”[/color]

She shook her head before she added[color=f4eb93]”Look, I don’t know what makes this ‘Wayfinder’ so special, but all we have to do is find a half-decent Artificer, and we make our [i]own[/i] version of it. I know Goro's work was special, but it can't be that hard to imitate.”[/color]

Then Britney turned to Aaron.

[color=f4eb93]”Aaron, let’s stop humoring this,”[/color] Britney began. [color=f4eb93]”Like Jack said, we [i]finally[/i] have a tangible plan. Let’s stick to that [i]then[/i] start coming up with these crazy-ass ideas if they don’t work out. Which I doubt, but I don't think we'll ever be desperate enough to enter the Pit.”[/color]
