[Ok, when you get inside and (presumeably) go down the stairs, you find another door with a sign. Japanese: "Basement. Authorized personel only." Engrish: "Last chance go way no cirtify."] * SpiritRei makes a mental note to get that Engrish fixed, and opens the next door. * SpiritRei heads on in! ( make a hearing check ^^ ) (Made it.) [It's very dark in here. Upon opening the door, you hear what sounds like a cross between a cricket and a frog. It's answered in turn by several other similar noises.]] * SpiritRei purses her lips. She tears open the package and squeezes some blood out. ~Heeere, fishy fishy fishy o/~ (And yes, I imagine the meat would really smell. Yeek. x.x) [... nothing seems to happen.] * SpiritRei pauses, then frowns. Perhaps she was giving them too much credit. She scoops out some of the meat (eew) and tosses it on the ground. [The croaking gets a bit louder. Gradually, five of the critters come into view. They're red-brown fish, with snake-like tails and legs. They sniff at the meat, and take some experimental bites. ] * SpiritRei grins. ~Good fishies. C'mon.~ She backs away a number of steps, then tosses more down with a splurt. [They're still eating the first one :P] * SpiritRei considers. * SpiritRei picks up the meat and stuffs it back in the bag, then wait.s [After a while, they finish.] ( I mean, there are five of them :P ) * SpiritRei opens the bag a little more so the stink literally reeks all over the place. ~Lookit this, guys!~ She waves it at them. [The fish blink at the floating meat. One of them spits a green liquid at it, but misses.] * SpiritRei starts moving it back. ~Come and geeet it!~ [The fish follow, continuing to spit at it. Gonna have to make some defense rolls if you want to keep it from getting hit.] * SpiritRei just starts moving faster. (Defense rolls now? And when do I burst onto the scene in #besm? ^^) ( Is that a yes or a no on the defense rolls? ) ( Once you go up the stairs. ) (Lemme know, then.) (I'm heading to/up the stairs.) (And the roll wasn't made, not that it really matters. ^^;;) [The tigerfish hit the meat a few times as you move up the stairs. That has no effect on the meat, since it's already dead, but I wouldn't try to eat it now.] (Like I'd eat it anyway. YUCK.) (Am I there? ^^) [The tigerfish don't follow up the stairs, though. That's too much effort for them.] ( And yes )
