Last few places? Were you brought somewhere like this before? [ He tries walking but static starts to form so he ends up shuffling back, sighing into the phone. ] Can you see?
Someone told me about the jungles, I think. [ No, they definitely did but more importantly. ] Right now though... I could send you light if you think you need it. There are some... things out there.
It's a long story, I hope they mentioned the four spirits. [Because that was important!] Oh, you can send me light? That would be nice. [She wonders how this will work!]
I am able to fight, yes. I have a strong body, so you need not worry about me.
Not in any detail, no. [ Mostly that they survived, honestly. But... okay. He's got this. ] Keep yourself safe in the meantime, I'll try and guide you to where I am. [ a cough ] We probably shouldn't be wandering around by ourselves at the moment.
[ She'll hear a ruffling noise as he puts the CereVice into his pocket for a moment, just so he can concentrate on this. A moment later Vietnam will see a ball of light appear in front of her, as though it just flew here from somewhere else. He's kept his phone on, but he can't use it while doing this. She'll hear his voice (though it'll be muffled by fabric) as he tries to lead her out of where she's found herself now.
There's a matching ball of light in his hand, but it's taking a lot of work to keep this up. Please rush, Vietnam. ]
Alright, it will be a story to tell when we are safe. [Also because she doesn't know much about the other spirits than Maris.] Alright, I will wait patiently for your guidance.
[And she does. Doo doo doo. She is surprised by the appearance of the light, but there's no time to admire it. Hearing his brief instructions, she does as suggested and with the light, starts making her way towards the direction it came from.]
[ His breath starts going a little shaky when he starts hearing noises around him, and quickly he starts saying faster under his breath because he can't fight something off and guide her at the same time. Not successfully, anyway.
The hairs on the back of his neck prickle as there seems to be scurrying noises, and his hand shakes a little as he tries to not break concentration. She should be close-- ]
[ The light seems to poof into thin air as she gets close enough to see him, and instead he switches the ball to a light that fills up the area.
Granted that's also when the noises get louder, rattling against the so-called walls. Merlin only turn turns around in time before something leaps out at him, managing to duck just in time. ]
[Amazing, look at these powers he has! She hasn't quite yet met anyone with this much magic--
Which is something she'll think about later because she ducks and rolls forward, making up the distance it would take to meet up with him while something is about to attack them.]
Unfortunate, but as long as we are safe. [Because he noticed it first?!]
I do not have a sword, but do you need one in particular? Or would it be find for me to use whatever is lying around? [She would pull apart rails if need be! Or he can pull it apart for her, that would work too.]
It isn't-- [ He hears a noise to his left, reaches for her arm to pull her down as it jumps overhead. It's... fast though. ] --for me. I don't need a sword.
[ Sometimes that works out better?! You never know. He has no idea what martial arts is but he's pretty sure other people have mentioned it too.
It's her being strong and her body regenerating that's useful here. ]
Do you think you're fast enough to catch it and throw it over there?
[ He nods down to where the ground seems to dip. There's no inclination of what he'll be doing after, but: ] Then we really need to run in the opposite direction.

Where are you? Did you end up underground as well?
no subject
Yes, I don't quite know where I am, but I am glad that this is working. It doesn't always.
no subject
It doesn't, I tried using it before but it didn't seem to work. Is it because of where we are?
no subject
I think so. It's like...we're not quite in the city anymore?
no subject
I figured it might be something like that. I can see quite clearly but I haven't seen anything this disgusting up there.
no subject
Agreed. The last few places were at least more green. This here, it's dark. Also getting everywhere.
no subject
Last few places? Were you brought somewhere like this before? [ He tries walking but static starts to form so he ends up shuffling back, sighing into the phone. ] Can you see?
no subject
Yes, the spirits took us outside into the jungles once. [She looks around.] In a way. My eyes have adjusted to the darkness.
no subject
Someone told me about the jungles, I think. [ No, they definitely did but more importantly. ] Right now though... I could send you light if you think you need it. There are some... things out there.
Can you protect yourself?

I see you!

Watch out!

Did you manage to see what it is?
no subject
You wouldn't happen to have a sword on you, would you?
no subject

no subject
no subject
No need? In that case we can make do! What is your plan? [Maybe she should tell him that she can even use her bare hands but that would be too easy.]
no subject
Was he supposed to have a plan?
He swallows, and thankfully the light gives him some signs of where it's jumped off to. ] Can you do anything? I mean-- abilities wise.
no subject
I know martial arts and can shoot, but I have no weapons with me. Also I'm strong, and my body regenerates as long as it isn't fatal.

She looks over at the creature, just to size it up. It's not super large, a manageable size...at least it's not like America and a buffalo.]
I think I can manage. [That or she'll just kick it, since the ground dips.]
Alright, you wait behind me. [And here she goes, rolling her shoulders.]
no subject
I'm right behind you. [ If she can't manage he can blast it off her anyway, he can think of something else.
He steps back to give her room though, his hand ready, mind focused to cast the spell once they have a clear shot of it. ]
