Long, Long Ago....

Who: Our intrepid heroes
What: Newt's merry band of volunteer explorers take a stab at examining the ruins from tip to toe.
When: Evening of the intro log- and onwards!
Where: The Ruins
Warnings: Mark as you go!


You haven't been wasting too much time at all, have you? With the search parties arranged, four groups set off to cover the ruin grounds- what surprises could await them? What monsters lurk around every corner?

That's up to you to discover, isn't it?

Shiro's casual limb comment leaves Jaune pale. "Wait, no. I don't want to lose any limbs. I need them." And he doubts there are any prosthetics conveniently lying around. He shrugs at Edward; it was Espio's idea. "You'd lose more than limbs. And I was going to jump in," He clarifies, turning to Espio.

Once Tim approaches the pool, Jaune quiets down, holding his breath until Tim withdraws the branch...

And starts to take off his glove so he can reach for the branch. "Not really. It could be odorless."

The paper does seem to be fine, which makes Shiro think it might be alright, but he isn't entirely convinced. It might be a matter of 'people' versus 'objects', and if that's the case he would vastly prefer a living subject to test it.

...

Well, considering that he's probably dead anyway, he really doesn't have much to lose here. So.

"As the resident 'old man' here, I'll be the guinea pig." It seems fair to him, since he doesn't want any of these (relatively speaking) kids to get hurt.

So he'll step up and carefully stick his left hand close to the weird green stuff, dipping just the tip of his pinkie finger into it.

"No more than the rest of you." Probably best to clarify that, being the 'token animal' of this party. Letting Jaune and Tim fuss over the branch, Ed instead focuses on Shiro for the moment and watches him closely for any reaction to the pool. Doesn't seem to be anything right now, but any effect might be slow acting--especially if this is magical and not just chemical.

Which is seeming more likely by the second. Ugh.

"Well?"

"I wasn't being serious, dumbass," Espio says to Jaune, shaking his head as if he couldn't believe the guy could be so stupid, but doesn't say anything to the old man as he dips his finger into it. It's just a finger after all, and the stick came up fine.

"Feel weird? Hot? Cold?"

Well, never mind then, 'cause Shiro is just gonna up and stick his hand in it. Tim stifles a sigh and passes the branch off to Jaune - he can have his fun with it, for all he cares, because if there's any danger here it looks like Shiro's just hurdled right the hell over it.

"Or, I mean, I guess you could do that too."

Christ, he's just as bad as Jay.

(He's nowhere near as bad as Jay.)

"It feels...good?" Shiro sounds confused as he says that, like he wasn't expecting what he feels. Which is an accurate statement, really. "You know that feeling of putting aloe on a sunburn? That feeling that's kinda like 'relief'? That's what it feels like."

He slips his hand further in, letting his fingers up to the second knuckle sink into the green water. Then he looks very surprised at the results. "Shit, this stuff is doing wonders for my arthritis."

"Whatever you say, streak," Jaune shoots back at Espio, about to tell Shiro to be careful, but...he looks fine. His interest in the stick fleeting, he drops it.

"It must have some sort of healing properties." Well, since Shiro didn't die, Jaune's just going to finish taking off his boots and roll up his pants to the knees to dip his legs in it.

Okay, Shiro's testing he could abide with, but this is--

"For fuck's sake!" Ed grabs Jaune by the back of the shirt and hauls him back, lifting him a few inches off the ground as he does. "Have you never heard of caution? You don't go jumping in just off of one test!"
