A Mingle!

[cobanpcs]

Who: YOU!!
When: Early Day 9 and onwards.
Where: A city corner!
What: WISHING WELL(s?)

At some point during the night a wishing well appeared in the corner, maybe it was a garbage can a second ago and you saw it blur, maybe it was a fire hydrant, maybe you just hadn't seen it before, but there it is!

There's a sign next to it reading: "Toss a coin, make a wish!"
(WISHES NOT GUARANTEED TO COME TRUE)

Maybe you don't have a coin, but Coba's got your back; there's a pail full of coins next to the well.

So go on, make a wish. Or spy on other people making wishes (Or steal the coins). Surely nothing can possibly go wrong.

[And over on this side there is a real life adult in full scuba gear tying a very long rope to the top of the well.]

Would anyone like to give me a hand?

[ibideficitorbis]

Look, this half-naked lady in full body tattoo will just... stare. Okay? Okay.

[billionerd]

Ray isn't one to judge a women's choice in clothes nor tattoos, and since he catches her staring he addresses her directly.

"Excuse me? I could really use your help."

[ibideficitorbis]

Forgive her. She's been raised by wildlife lately.

"To do... what, exactly?"

[billionerd]

"Keeping an eye on the rope?"

He holds it out to her.

"I am almost certain it'll hold, though. I'm good at knots!" He smiles cheerfully, as if being good at knots is an achievement to be really proud of.

[ibideficitorbis]

Well, in this case, being good at knots is probably a great idea. Shura takes the ropes with calloused hands and wraps it around her arm as she brace her foot against the well's wall.

Then she pauses.

"Why are you going in the well, again?"

[billionerd]

"Scientific curiosity!"

He says, still smiling. He picks up an oxygen tank, adjusting it firmly.

"The well wasn't here before, I'm curious about where it leads to." Even though he's not sure it will lead anywhere. Hell, maybe it will disappear with him inside.

A sobering thought. Or at least it would be if he wasn't such a ridiculous optimist.

"It'll be fun!"

[ibideficitorbis]

Oh. Well at least he wasn't going in to steal the money.

"What if you encounter a deity?" She regrets asking as soon as the words get out. Humans can't see deities like she can...

[insistent]

....What the hell are you doing?!

[billionerd]

I'm going in! It's fine! It's for science! It's safe... probably!

[insistent]

If, it's for science, you should probably test the depth first and /make/ sure the water is actually just plain water?

Have you even thought this through? Did you try lowering a light to see what might be down there?

[billionerd]

I did better! I got a drone down there. It drowned, but not before telling me it is water and the depth is anywhere between a hundred meters and endless pit.

[insistent]

Isn't that reason enough not to go down after the thing?

I mean you don't exactly strike me as the invincible type...

[keymash]

Oh god why.

[billionerd]

What does everyone have against science?

[keymash]

I don't think it has anything to do with science . . . .

[billionerd]

I'm writing it down, it's science.

[keymash]

It's also not safe.

[billionerd]

It's a calculated risk!

[anelegantmyth]

Uhh...

[With out a word, she calls out her dragon and motions her go and help the man. Really, if Garchomp can't hold this guy. No one can.]

Are you sure you want to do this?

[billionerd]

Whhhh... yes, but can we discuss your dragon first?

[anelegantmyth]

Sure, what do you want to know?

[billionerd]

How did you get a dragon?

[anelegantmyth]

Well, most people would have battled and caught one. I was lucky enough to be given one when was younger.

[billionerd]

You battle dragons?
