It was not out of blind curiosity that Call wandered down into the tunnels. She had known they existed, known where they were, and yet had never gone down there. Well, there was a good reason of course. But that would bring up too many...painful recollections.
So when the nightmare entity found herself within the system, she hesitated. The walls seemed to be closing in on her rather small form. She sucked in a breath and her emerald flame flared out of discomfort and unease.
She should turn around. Find her way out. Avoid the risks of remembering and exploring.
Of course, Call had always been stubborn since she was conceived, and she hovered down the tunnel, fangs bared as if to challenge the lingering fright (no, a nightmare wasn't frightened, she couldn't be, wouldn't be).

Morphodoe quietly walked down the tunnel with a hand touching the wall, feeling the rocky surface under her fingers. She needed a moment to herself after getting her leg chomped by a bear trap. That was the uncounted time there was an injury involving her legs. . . the first one right after joining the cult and being thrown into a frightening situation. But nevermind about that.
The human bunnyfly sighed and lowered her hand to her side. She stop when she smelled something-- no, no. SomeONE. They were coming closer. "Is someone there?" She asked.

She heard a voice. Call flinched and froze, whipped around with her fangs gleaming. She couldn't see them if they were nearby. Perhaps they were around the corner. Call's flame flared bright.
"Who or what are you?" She snarled warily. She didn't desire to move unless she saw what the approacher was.

"Um. . . My name is Morphodoe. Are you a cultist?" Replied the human bunnyfly. The person sure smelled like one, but she had to make sure. She truly hoped that it wasn't a phony, the thought made her nervous.

Call relaxed slightly, the heat of the flame dying down. "Yes. You may call me Call." Thankfully it wasn't something else. She assumed if they were asking whether she was part of the cult, they had to be in it as well.
She rounded the corner and caught sight of the other, mouth screwing up slightly in curiosity. "What are you doing down here?"

"Mmmm thinking, and walking. I had an incident with a bear trap." Morphodoe shivered, "What about you? I don't think I've seen you around here before."

Call tilted her cloaked upper half - where her head would be if she had one - out of curiosity. "Bear trap? I've seen many a bear trap. Not fun." She personally hadn't gotten stuck in any but she'd watched many humans accidentally stumble on them in the woods. It was rather amusing, to be honest.
"As for me, I have been in this place since..." Call thought for a moment. Time passes so quickly for her that it was hard to tell how long it had been. "About a year, actually. I just don't get out in these tunnels often. Mostly due to...unpleasant results." If that was what they could be called. She eyed the walls with hidden suspicion.

If Bone wasnt in the forest then she was in the tunnels. She liked the quiet forest a lot, but sometimes bugs would find their way on her body and it would ruin her whole day. So she occasionally went to the tunnels. Their quiet atmosphere calmed her down and there wasn"t much bugs here. But it was a little dark unfortunately. Today she was resting, a headache made her cranky and she went here to cool off. She opened her eyes when she heard some people conversing. One of them she recognized. "Hi Morph. Who's your friend?"

Morphodoe tilted her head and raised an eyebrow, "Results?" She questioned. She perked up when she heard a familiar voice. Turning around, she grinned at the sight of Bone, "Hey Bone! Uh, this is Call." She turned to the other, "Call, this is my friend. Bone."

Call turned at the sound of another voice and her emerald flame flickered for a moment. She didn't recognize the newcomer but since Morphodoe knew them, she figured them meant no harm. That still didn't make her feel any less...claustrophobic.
"Nice to...meet you. I suppose." She cleared something deep in her throat. "What brings you down here?"

She waved hi at Morph and shrugged at Call. "Just calming down. I like the caves. They're silent. Well, most of the time that is. And what about the both of you? What brings you down here." She asked, standing up and stretching. She was ready for adventure now. If adventure would happen that is. If not she'd just go back to sleep.

Calming? Not a word she would use for describing the tunnels but to each their own. Call nodded somewhat hesitantly. "I...suppose."
As for why she was here? She sighed. "I was exploring down here since I have not been down here in all my time in the cult." And for good reason. The nightmare entity glanced behind her trying to swallow down any sense of uncomfortableness.

She hummed in response. "Is there anything interesting to these tunnels anyway? I mean, I like nature and all but it's kinda boring. I mean..they all look the same so.." She said, looking at the tunnel walls and feeling their surface. "It's pretty easy to get lost here. Make sure you remember where you've already gone when you're exploring." She chuckled. "I got lost once. It's not a fun thing to do."

"They are rather boring to look at," Call agreed. "Confining too." She winced internally at the admission.
The green flame shifted out of vague interest and amusement. "Lost? In these tunnels? Oh, that sounds like a fun story. I can't even fathom what that would be like... Probably dreadful."

"Entertaining to watch, more like."
Elysium emerged from the dark, eight arms in all and two sets of legs, the last pair of which with knees bending backwards and ankles high in the leg, and a thin, long tail snaking its way down the tunnel behind. He walked on four arms, as well; spindly and long and tipped with golden talons, as were each of the nails at his toes and hands. A mouth on his face, two at his throat and another at his chest, right where the belly ought to be all smirked, quiet and slight; and each were wreathed in dozens of eyes, some open and some closed, though each blinking bright, delirious shades of blue in the glim light. The second-down pair of hands lay loose at his sides, occasionally acting as another foot, while the arms actually connected to shoulders lay crossed about his chest.
He approached silently, but stopped before them as though a sudden thought had struck him. He decidedly spoke with the mouth at his face, dozens of the eyes about his flesh wincing apologetically, while the others just stared on blankly, piercingly; he uncrossed his foremost arms to lightly scratch at his jaw. "I, ah. Apologies if my form is.... Fear-inducing. It's comfortable." His tail came and curled absently about his legs, as did a dozen other tentacle-like appendages.
