“Oh this is excellent!” Benjamin shouted as his proposal passed with flying colors. “I won’t bother proposing the other big prison rules—no stealing, no raping, no killing. Let’s just file those under ‘common sense’.

“But if anybody has any other suggestions please go ahead. Perhaps we should create a rotating chores list, or basic hygiene protocol.” His last suggestion definitely wasn’t directed at anybody in particular.

After reading the letter aloud, Seb shrugged. "Maybe she was looking for something? She was a poet: maybe she was looking for inspiration? I don't really understand artsy types, so I can't get behind what she was thinking. A short distance in and I'm already tired of these caves."

"No, I'm afraid I'm not very familiar with Miss Gardner. Of course, I haven't always been in Rattlewater, but I've never seen her at any of my shows." Lavender responds to Shizune's question. "How about you, Mister Abrams, have you ever seen her at any of your shows?" She asks Oliver.

"Quite a mysterious young woman she is...I wonder what her story is?"

"I just wonder why she came down here in the first place. For inspiration for her poetry, or something else? And if something else, what would it be? It's quite the dilemma..."

“I am curious about one thing.” Benjamin thought aloud given the current conversation topic. “Who here knows each other?”

She seemed to recall something which suddenly made her uncomfortable. "Well, I did hear some sort of scream after she went in. I'm not sure what it could mean though, and she did seem to be going into the caves voluntarily."

"She went into the cave and you heard screaming after?" He asked. "I don't like saying this, but is it possible she could have been attacked? Or even..."

He rubbed behind his head. "Ohhhh, I dearly hope there isn't something or someone else down here with us."

She seemed to recall something which suddenly made her uncomfortable. "Well, I did hear some sort of scream after she went in. I'm not sure what it could mean though, and she did seem to be going into the caves voluntarily."

"I'm pretty sure they just slipped and fell somewhere, or fell deeper in because of a slope. They don't have to get attacked to scream. Making up fantasy scenarios like this is how cohesion is lost." Daniel impatiently taps his foot on the floor.

"And I," Oliver began, glancing over at Lavender. "will be holding a performance of my own, with lovely music, dancing, and singing, in celebration of finding Miss Gardner as well, of course."

He sighed. "My only wish is that she is unharmed." The redhead then crossed his arms. "And I suppose getting to know one another would be beneficial, just so we can trust each other more."

"Oh! That won't be too necessary if I'm already performing. Perhaps you could instead play your music during the after-show." Lavender gives a small smile and a nod.

"And as for getting to know each other better, I have a good question that I believe people would call an 'ice breaker'". The ballerina addresses the group. "Who feels more comfortable going into the caves first?"

"No, no, I simply cannot wait to play," Oliver said with a small chuckle. "Perhaps we can perform at the same time? My music combined with your dancing will surely end up pleasing a great many people." He suggested this a bright grin on his face.
