Everything all right?

I've been hearing mixed reports about the basement. Can anyone give me a concrete reason why we should stay away?

Comments

[madeinthehrl]

A lot of signs seem to point to the basement. I wouldn't go down there alone, but I haven't yet heard a good reason why we shouldn't try in a group.

[his_legacy]

I agree. It would certainly be wise. I am more used to traveling in a small group, and would certainly be willing to form one once we can be certain that the effects of this sickness are more under control.

May I ask who you are?

[madeinthehrl]

I agree. I'd be interested in doing the same, as long as everyone in the group is used to defending themselves and we take all the necessary precautions.

Soma Peries. You?

[his_legacy]

I would consider myself capable. You can count me in on whatever group you may be forming.

I am Link, of Ordon. South of Hyrule.

[madeinthehrl]

I don't know how much of this we can talk about on the board, but I'd be willing to discuss this with you in further detail in person, if you'd like to meet. It's always good to have an idea of your partners' abilities.

It's nice to meet you, Link. I'm afraid I've never heard of those places, but I haven't heard of a lot of them here.

[his_legacy]

Certainly. It is a pleasure to meet you, as well. And it is no need to worry- I had assumed you would not know of them. It is simply how we introduce ourselves, where I am from.

There are some friends I need to speak with, today, but perhaps we could meet in the Sun Room later today? During the third time slot the nurses have set for us?

[madeinthehrl]

That sounds good to me.

I have golden eyes and long white hair, tied back in a braid. I'm told I'm hard to miss. What should I look for?

[his_legacy]

Well, my ears are pointed. That seems to be uncommon among the people here. And I have blond, straight hair. Blue eyes.

[madeinthehrl]

Noted. I'll see you then.

To answer your question, the price to satisfy your curiosity is a steep one. The cost is higher for a group, I must say.

[madeinthehrl]

Would you say the price is one worth paying, despite how steep it is?

[idolism]

Although I would like to give a candid opinion, all I can really say is that it depends on how much you're willing to stomach. In the physical sense, and also in regard to moral attitudes.

From where I stand, the cost is only worth it if investigating that place is the only way to get answers, which I'm not sure about. I'd treat it as a last resort. Another route would be vastly superior.

- Aidou

[madeinthehrl]

I see. Thank you for your information.

[idolism]

Best of luck.
