They'd nod at the explanation of voyeurs. “Perhaps we can just ask her what made her a voyeur? Or we could try find more bovine folk that aren't blue, or blue folk that aren't bovine? We know Draeyth is horny, but not voyeur, but exhibitionist, so perhaps we can rule that out?” They were obviously very scientific.

“Ah, so I would have the proclivity to make people happy?” They asked, wondering if they understood Erich well enough. “That's what I was made to do, after all.” As for the last bit, they nodded. “Hmhm. I think dying and reviving might be like that, otherwise I'm sure they would be reviving people a lot more often already.” They'd explain their flawless reasoning.

Happy that Erich made a promise, they nodded. “Thank you, I'll gladly entrust the tiny turtle to you.” They replied.

“It's an ancient saying, the more the merrier!” They'd add in to the next bit.

“Dance moves? That'd be fun!” They cheered on Erich. After their own performance, they'd clap at Erich's. “That was fun! If you want, I can teach you even more and better moves!”

As nameless local zombie girl remained nameless, or perhaps was just called nameless, middle name local and last name zombie girl, was somehow managing to deal with them, they'd remain happy as ever. “That would be amazing! Thanks for helping us look for something suitable!” They'd reply to her cheerfully.

“Thank you! Thank you! May happiness brighten your days, my beloved audience!” They'd state as they gave a bow after their performance had gotten some cheers.

“Thank you, you did a great job finding such a perfect item for our horny friend as well!” They thanked the zombie girl, as they figured they'd let Erich hold-on to it, as they were already holding on to the tiny turtle themselves.

They still weren't sure what was strange about going into the tunnel of love with more than two, but they didn't bother questioning it, as the zombie girl was down to go regardless. “Yep! Let's try it out!” They agreed, once more, with trying it all together.

However, shockingly enough, they saw their employer rushing at them. “Oh! Hello again miss Giovanna! Did you have a fun time being a voyeur?” They asked, without a hint of sarcasm, jesting or insulting tone to their voice. Just some heart-felt curiosity and caring.

“I ate a tiny turtle and we got a plushy sheep for Dreayth!” They answered Giovanna's question about what they found. “We also made great friends with the lovely zombie girl over here and were going to go through the tunnel of love with her! Do you want to join us as well? Or would you rather just watch again?” They asked.

“Hmmm.... if you're hating this show so much, I take it you're not helping produce it? Somehow for a while, I thought you might've. Though I don't think it's that bad and fake. It's really fun thus far!” They'd reply. “It's a least a lot more fun than the story that Dark Narrator was making, that was too much of a horror drama show to be happiness inducing.” They concluded.

“Oh, by the way, do you know if being bovine or being blue makes one more likely to be a voyeur? Me and Erich were theorising about it a while back.” They figured they might as well ask, now that they had a shot at it.

Erich would nod attentively to Zahrah's empirical evidence about the correlation of one being bovine, blue and/or horny that could lead to voyeurism. "You are right, Dreayth doesn't seem like the type who are fixed in watching, but he is an exhibitionist. So, it has nothing to do with being horny." With that hypothesis out of the way, what remained was to observe bovines which happened to not be blue, or blue individuals who were not bovines. So much to test with such little time available!

Next, the inventor would nod, as the doll had grasped the meaning of 'proclivity' perfectly. Internally, he would try to mark himself of being wary of needing being revived. He would rather his brain kept working just as it did at the moment.

“Oh, I would really appreciate it if you could! You never know when dancing might be useful for social interactions!” He would accept Zahrah’s offer in a heartbeat, while in turn, also clapping to show his appreciation for their own musical performance. “You sang perfectly, from what I could hear! Even not knowing that song in particular, the pitch seemed just right. Well done!” He praised Zahrah, giving them a perfect score for as much as his senses could dissect the performance.

“Thank you, your help is really appreciated!” He told the zombie girl as well, being grateful with their offered help in finding something suitable for their horny companion. And, surprisingly, she had already managed to procure the perfect gift for Dreayth, a ram plushie. Certainly, since Dreayth was so into the little glass turtle, he was bound to love this gift, right? “This is simply perfect. The likelihood of that big softie enjoying a gift like this is exceedingly high.” Erich declared, as if it was a matter of fact, gloved hands grabbing the ram to keep it in his care.

And, just as it seemed that the trio was ready to go into their tour through the love tunnel, with additional company which would, by his hypothesis, bring even further enjoyment to the experience, someone unexpected showed up: blue, big, bovine and horny - Giovanna.

Erich would display the plushie as Zahrah mentioned it, as if he were holding some sort of ancient artifact left by an equally ancient civilization. “Seems like Dreayth got a bit angry because he didn’t have the chance to pet the tiny, glass turtle. So we got him a replacement. He is bound to love it, I’m sure.” The engineer nodded to himself, thinking his words being nothing short of wise.

“If you join us through the tunnel of love, the possibility of it even becoming merrier would reach critical levels. In this case, it would be perfect, although I’m still a bit wary of suffocation through bosom...” He would state, looking a bit wary towards Giovanna’s cleavage. “I have to say, even though this whole situation clearly exceeds the realm of possibility, pointing at its hallucinatory/fabricated origin, I can’t deny it has been pretty fun.” He said, after searching his thoughts for a few moments.

“Exactly! Which one gives you the proclivity of watching?” Compounding Zahrah’s question, Erich tilted his head slightly to the side.
 
VALEN

Valen would nod and greet the others. His expression of disinterest of Oden and the others with her. Yet when they said they were from Kuridan, Valen looked at them as they got his interest. "So maybe not illusions" He mumbles to himself before lookin at Oden and the others. "How did you get past the traps and the Storyteller so quickly. How long have we been missing?..Apologies if I am rude. We have been through much and know only bits and pieces of this place." He felt a shiver of fear, thinking they had been missing for much longer than a few hours into their journey. Or has it already been a whole day? Valen hummed and seemed to be in his thoughts before Delilah placed a hand on his shoulder. He looked to his side and watched as she winked and giggled at him. He blinked and he looked at the woman. A silver of trust had been formed he would like to believe. Plus she was quite pleasant. He reciprocated her gesture by looking up and giving her a smile. He then said " I can say the same. A little charm goes a long way...Seems like we both are fans of substance over style." He paused as he looked up at her intentionally in her face. Though I say we lack in neither." He would give her a quick wink before moving towards the others more.

He would turn to the others and nod to Dreayth "I am glad to hear the others are okay..I believe the magyk of this place was getting to me and why I followed Delilah. I believed we needed a different plan.. I have made my bed so to speak with what I did Dreayth. I plan to aid us to fortune now and get this quest over with. For all of us." He looks to the elder and then at the strange device she stuck infront of them. "..So Giovanna may be in trouble, or the Storyteller has her in his clutches. This started with it and it looks like it shall end with her." He turned and looked at the others. "I know this does not make sense and most likely is a trap. I thought that as soon as this one told us what it could be." He looks to the elder with only a glance, for why waste his time on a likely illusion. "But I believe whatever is at work here wants to put an end to this madness for everyone involved. A final act...I am going through and I hope the rest of you follow. Maybe there is power, glory, and riches. Maybe nothing. But that is always a risk when we take these kind of jobs....and I am not walking all the way to the city! Who knows what other things will pop up to try and kill us." He turned and would head for the portal with a confidant stride.​
 
Oden (#ACA9A7)
Tilting her head back towards Kindle as he whispered, Oden could only shake her head with a dry chuckle. "Seems caves commonly lead to all sorts of mystical wonderlands nowadays." Thinking of the memories, she couldn't help but sigh. What happened to the good old days of just simple and finite little caves? How had she managed to find herself in two crazy underground networks so quickly?

At Dreayth's response, Oden quirked a brow. "You chose to split up?" She questioned in mild disbelief, before quietly listening in on the rest of the conversations as the pair reunited. With the rest of the puzzle pieces falling into place, the old owl simply nodded. "I see, so the main thing is that you are searching for your blue horned friend."

"Hmm, the paths you mentioned align with what Kindle and I saw on the way in. I suppose we can try and retrieve the ones that went down the unlit path after."
She mused quietly, before listening in on the rest of the old lady's speech with a growing expression of peculiarity. "...a plot device?" She almost couldn't believe her ears. But seeing how quickly everyone had just accepted it as normal, she assumed that was just the theme of this whole place and shook her head.

As expected, it seems heading to the Diamond City was inescapable, though it was still surprising to hear their companion had somehow been made said location's tyrannical leader. Wondering what kind of person they were about to go retrieve, Oden slowly turned back to the adventurers that they had fortunately already met up with.

The glasses-wearing human stranger seemed a peculiar sort. Talkative, a bit dramatic... and perhaps with some kind of hero syndrome? But, she did indeed have no clue what he had been through here in this crazy wonderland, so she couldn't fault him too much. Many things were said, yet she did not have the context to make too much sense of it. A part of her almost wondered if he was just a well-made illusion as well, but his plight and apology did seem truthful.

"I like to think we're not illusions, yes. The traps were deactivated already, and we have yet to meet any 'storyteller'." At Valen's next query, the old owl could only turn to her guide here with a thoughtful look. "Hm. Kindle, did you ask the caravan driver how long exactly he'd been waiting?" She thought back faintly, unable to recall an exact timeframe given, but then again she had just walked into the pair at the cavern entrance mid-conversation.

Ignoring whatever flirtatious banter seemed to be going on between the three strangers, she focusing her attention mostly on her companion here. "We should probably stick together now that we've met up, but I'll follow your decision Kindle." She stated calmly, carefully gauging the human knight's expression before watching Valen enter the so-called 'plot-device' portal.

The horned demon would give a shrug, “Different strokes for different folks I guess” a hum escaping his lips as he looked towards Valen, “I hope your man enough for the challenge.” A playful grin escaped his lips though it would be short lived as the fun was broken up.

Dreayth furrowed his brows and looked off to the side as the woman hit on him. “Ehhh, sorry chief but uhh ... .im…not…interested.” As he finished his sentence a chill would go down his spine as he shook. “You’re beautiful and all but just not my type…”

The real kicker would end up being the information that the chief gave about Giovanna. Who would’ve thought that big and curvaceous was also big and bad too?

“Oh really Chief, this information is probably the best gift you could have given me. Can’t believe I was traveling with such a person this whole time.” The hunch he had been feeling was finally explained, still, if she had such influence and power, why employ a group such as theirs to find what she is looking for. Perhaps she needed outsiders specifically to do the job.

Valen taking accountability for fleeing was an interesting thing to say, a visible vein would pop out of the monster's neck in anger as he struggled to restrain himself.

“Oh yeah? I’m happy to hear you came to terms with running away like a little punk. However the rest of us haven’t exactly gotten over it as easily. No need to get your panties in a twist, we handled the narrator.” Dreayth would raise his arm to show the burns from the battle. “Me and Erich killed em, once I smelled blood in the waters it was inevitable.”

“It’s pretty confusing, I understand, however this place abides by the rules of a story. Beings with rather unknown intentions are at play, we are simply actors playing a role in a tale.” Dreayth would reply to both Kindle and Oden, explaining to them the situation. “And right now we need to find a blue Minotaur to get some answers. So let’s get moving love birds, unless you two are going to run off together. Oh! Oden and Kindle, you are welcome to join in on the drama that will unfold.” Dreayth hummed in excitement as he moved towards the plot device holding up a peace sign before leaping into the portal.

Whilst in their separate locations events and conversations would be going on, things going on would be interrupted with a sudden rumbling and crackling in the sky as the skies turned from a bright, sunny day to that of an ominous and foreboding red. The natives of the world wouldn't even pay much mind to it, much rather they'd look like they had been frozen in their movements. Then, a familiar voice would fill the air audible by all.

"You didn't think you were done that easily? That you had won and off to explore some other story?" the voice answered, of which those who had entered the illusionary world would find themselves struggling to move as it felt like their joints had stiffened up. Zahrah would also find it feeling like things were being spiritually pulled from them, alongside the glass turtle eventually being pried from her insides via an invisible source and magically lifted out of her mouth. It would visibly fizzle and disappear in a little magical poof before her eyes.

"As long as I stand, everything here will remain MY domain. You invasive species do not belong here. You are ruining stories, and breaking the rules of order... but you have given me the time to find what I need to rid you out of here" he answered, and each of the arrived people would find sparks of dark energy coalescing around them.

"Do not return to my domain, I will not be so kind next time" he uttered, and with such, those who had entered would feel a sensation of being rather forcefully whisked away like they were in a heavy windstorm, vision becoming difficult and blurry until they would find themselves somewhere else entirely.

They had somehow been thrown back out the door to the same place they arrived, the echoing voice that spoke audible for a moment towards the cave before it visibly shook and soon enough caved itself in. Anything they had found in the depths was no longer with them, gone instantly. Plus Delilah and the 'fertility goddess' as the doll had put it, were blatantly nowhere to be seen. It was most likely those two spirits were not given the generous freedom like the rest of them, nor any of their findings or gains. At least they had all made it out in one piece, but their initial goal had yet to be completed. One which Giovanna would likely attempt to return for despite the warnings.

The (rather abrupt) End, until the next time.

(Sry for disappointing drop-off, gonna very hopefully come back to this when I've taken a little break and worn off the mental burnout. There's more I wanted to do in this RP and still a lot of other stuff I have planned, so it possibly won't be a forever break, mostly until I get irl stuff sorted out)
