[mind_blown]

[ well, if Vanitas wants to crash the tunnel, Jay's of a mind to just let him. Less overall work. no worries about anything finicky about bombs without light or what that might look like. but, he's glad that Vanitas sees the point in what waiting for a full exploration team would look like. he has his own thought on it-- ]

Alright. Gives me a chance to message Pete, see if he's got anything on his dance card.

[ since Peter should be there. He helped him find it, after all. ]

We'll be headed towards the Junkyard. Goal was to head south-- try to find the lab. And if this doesn't work, there were a few more things I wanted to check down that way that don't require a key.

Gross.

[ He says this with vehemence, shrugging off Riku's affection physically, and not without the parting jab of putting a hand on his ribs to actual push distance between them.

But interest sharpens him again at mention of the Junkyard, and while he knows that isn't the point of this, the familiarity is still there. That junkyard dog. ]

How many more people do you idiots want along for this? The bigger the group the more attention we'll draw.

Tell Peter to hurry up.

[equinoctials]

[ Riku huffs an amused noise when Vanitas pushes at him, but sobers a moment later. ]

Four is plenty. Who wants to ask Rastus for a few torches? Two should probably do it.

[ Sewer tunnels will be dark, and Riku doesn't want them encumbered unnecessarily. ]

With another bike, we can get there quickly.

[ Quickly is up for debate - the bikes don't have headlights. Well... except for Riku's, which appears to be effective, and powered by the lantern inserted into its casing. ]

[mind_blown]

Four is my limit.

I don't want any uninvited guests coming along. [ he knows he went from "whatever" to having an opinion, but is it really changing your mind if that was your underlying opinion the whole time? last thing he wanted was a crowd of people who could... or could not be wastes of space.

anyway, he pulls his tablet from his jacket, firing off a quick message to peter.]

If he can make it, I'll tell him to meet us on the south side of town.

Should know in a few minutes. Anyway, you two can go grab the bike, since you've already got it. I'll grab the torches.
