[Her laugh gets a smile in return.]

Alright. Actually, I can't really argue against that idea. Who knows?

[He looked ahead of them now. He still had his Paladin armor, so he had a flashlight built right into the wrist guard.]

I guess we head in. You want to lead or should I? [Keith was definitely okay with not being a leader. It was a long story.]

[Aradia swims through the door before he's even done asking. Guess that answers that question. (For simplicity's sake let us assume she got some flippers and basic swimming lessons at some point, so that she's upgraded from "useless flailing" to "barely competent locomotion.")

Her own lack of flashlight doesn't seem to slow her down. Being nocturnal, she has excellent low-light vision. She stops a little ways into the large entry hall to examine a floor mosaic. The floor's a little askew, but other than that the place is in remarkably good shape.]

Oooh. You know, I can't say I am terribly surprised at the fish motif.

[And it is a motif - there are big blue fish all over the walls and floors, albeit artistically integrated so it doesn't just look like somebody slapped a shitty texture on all the surfaces.]

[tempredmental]

[He followed easily enough. He wasn't a great swimmer, either, but the little jetpacks on his suit helped with his mobility. It was almost like being in zero-G, but with more resistance around him from the water. Works for me!]

Yeah... me, either.

[Blue fish... everywhere. He wondered if it meant something. He ran his hand along one that was on a wall nearby, curious if he'd get a response from it, but nothing from the one he was touching.]

You think anyone's explored this before?

[He moved along, looking for a door or a hallway that might go a little further in. He was also looking for anything that might come towards them looking for a fight.]

[psych0p0mps]

[She shrugs.] Maybe! We'll know how far they may have gotten when we start finding loot. Or bodies. [It... almost sounds like she'd be equally happy to find either of those.]

[After a moment she swims over to join him at the hallway entrance. (It is a wide arch in the shape of two intertwined fish.) This leads to a steep descent without stairs - it was, after all, designed for swimmers. The light, already dim, drops off quickly inside. Aradia squints; even she can barely see down there.]

Do you have a light, by any chance?

[tempredmental]

[Keith grimaced a little at the idea of bodies.] Yeah.

[He shifted his arm to shine the light down the hall when she asked, lighting up the ramp leading down and away. It looked safe... 'enough'. After all, they weren't walking on the floor, so they didn't have to worry about that. They just had to be careful of potential cave ins.]

It goes pretty deep.

[With a nod of his head in that direction, he started moving down, keeping the light forward as best he could while still swimming, and trying not to bump anything. The only thing he did was check those fish carvings once in a while, like he expected them to react somehow.]
