"This planet is previously thought to have been uninhabited, at least by humans. And yet here we are in an underground ruin built near exactly the kind of environment a settlement would thrive. I don't want any nasty surprises." Samus said, looking back ahead just as Danielle slipped. Samus extended a hand to catch her, but the slipperiness of the slope, the awkward balance of her reaching out and the weight of her suit all resulted in her slipping falling down the slope as well, her suit lighting up the dark with sparks as it grinded along the stone.

"Well shit. Hey, lady!?!?" Axton shouted down the tunnel that he couldn't see in.

Seras tried to peer down the tunnel.

Navi like most faeries glowed though the light from that was very dim. While Samus slid down the slope Navi shouted out "Maybe it was built by the people who made the resort!"
Link carefully moved down the slope trying to keep balance on it by having his hand close to anything there was to grip on the wall.

"You mean I already didn't?... Sorry. I must be going senile or something." She replied, her ears folding back against her head as she glanced away. As Ness set the glowing object down, Jess took a moment to stand at army's length of it and hold out her right arm with an open palm towards it. If there was any presence of dangerously high levels of radiation, she would be alerted. Following back after Ness after that moment, she shrugged and replied, "I'm hoping they've got something more interesting than just an over-sized power stone."

As Samus and Danielle slid, they'd notice that the tunnel was like a spiral and the lights from the two slip-n-sliding women would disappear in a bit of time. As Danielle and Samus continued, Danielle's surprised screams soon turned to awkward chuckles and Samus might notice the woman was holding her arms up, beginning to enjoy the situation the best she could. They eventually stopped, causing a splash as they both landed on a floor with water going up to an average person's knees. Danielle grunted and rubbed her sore bottom as she landed and slowly got herself up. [color=ff00ff] "Are you alright, miss? ....I heard a lot of metal grinding...." [/color] She asked, giving Samus a nervous smile. She'd have a lot of mud decorating the area she had slid down.

The area they found themselves in was lit up with more of the luminescent plants from the island jungle. However all of the plants were colored a neon green, lighting up the area with the same color. Small like-colored spores floated in the damp air and a large waterfall, giving off a whiter glow was flowing in full force near the end of the square room. Along with that, more of the markings were decorating the walls. There were two doorways on either side of the waterfall and if they looked, there was a small hole behind them, away from the opening of the slide they had just unwillingly used.

[hr]

Link would find that the walls were slick and smooth, making having a grip on them difficult. Inching down the slope would cause him to start a slow, controlled slide down the hallway. With Navi lighting things up, the group who hadn't fallen down might be able to see the markings decorating the side of the walls. There seemed to be an arrow pointing down the slide and more markings to the side of it.

[hr]

Ness simply shrugged in response. [color=666666] "It's fine, it's fine.... I don't think we ever opened up that psychic channel here..." [/color] She said as she idly scratched the back of her head, tipping her hat forward a small bit as she did. As Jess scanned the core, she'd find it only had trace amounts of radiation emanating from it.

[color=666666] "Well, let's look around... It's a junk shop after all, I wouldn't expected fully complete stuff... especially for just 100 pounds..." [/color] Ness stated as she turned to look around the rest of the immediate area. Most of the gadgets and materials around them were small, most probably used for power sources, some about the size of a penny and others about as large as Ness. Along with the ships and projects being built, there were a few beings milling around the area and picking things out. Some seemed to be selling off gadgets or taking in requests. Metallic scraps and blocks hung around and littered the floor that people weren't walking down and some of the materials glowed in neon blues and even reds.

Eventually, Ness' eyes caught on a sniper rifle with glowing blue accents decorating it and she barely held back a squee as she looked it over. Jess may notice someone with silver hair and bat wings slowly walking her way toward the duo.

Samus got up, shaking her head to clear it, parts of her suit scuffed and glowing slightly from friction but none the worse for wear. "I'm fine. Only cosmetic damage, and the suit has self-repair and a shield." She raised her cannon and looked around, but lowered it as she saw all the glowing plantlife lighting up the cavern. She carefully walked into the center of the room, looking down both hallways. "Still got your torch? I would like to know what's down these hallways before we choose which one to follow."

OoC: Sorry about this but it's really late. I gotta go.

As the trio slid down the slope, JD followed their lead. With Navi lighting the way, they might notice a branching hallway on the right side of the slide if they reacted quickly enough... and were fortunate enough to be on the correct side of the slide at the time.

[hr]

Danielle nodded, waving the flashlight around lazily. [color=ff00ff] "I'm glad I brought the more durable one with me...." [/color] As she shined her light down both pathways, they'd both appear to be empty, some glowing plantlife sparsely populating each hall as well.

Link being left handed naturally went towards the left side of the slide. Seeing the hallway though he tried to go towards it, making him lose his balance and fall down the slide.

Not finding anything concerning from her examination of the core, Jess allowed herself to relax a bit.
"Oh, you're right, we didn't. I remember now that I was gonna wait until we had some privacy to ask about that." Jessica replied to Ness, snapping her fingers once. She followed Ness as she wandered around the shop, glancing at the various wares and muttering a reply of, "Junk Shop sounds about right. Here I thought that was just slang." She smiled to herself as she saw Ness getting excited over the rifle. "So how much is that?" She took notice of the silver haired individual walking towards them as she was glancing around, but didn't peg them as anyone worth paying more attention to than any of the other creatures around.

[color=666666] "If anything, this is more convenient than digging through an actual junkyard back at home. At least this one seems organized and doesn't involve climbing mountains of scrap to find what you need." [/color] Ness replied with a shrug before looking over toward one of the beings standing close to the rifle, this one being a large slime with buckteeth and goggles. After speaking with it for a moment or two, Ness sighed a small bit. [color=666666] "...Something around £600..." [/color] She said, her tone carrying defeat. [color=666666] ...I wish I'd asked for an advance on my paycheck at that waitress job... [/color]

The silver haired woman eventually walked up, hearing Ness sighing and chuckled a small bit to herself. [color=bb0066] "Well then... It's not nice to see a lady sigh like that, maybe I can offer a trade for that gun you wish to purchase?" [/color] She said, a smirk slowly growing on her face as Ness turned around. [color=666666] "Uh..." [/color]

[hr]

As Link slid, he'd find himself in the same area as Samus and Danielle. The latter gave him a small wave as she heard the Hylian splash in. [color=ff00ff] "Nice to see you drop in." [/color]

"If you say so. Never seen what an actual junkyard is like." Jess replied to Ness, glancing curiously at the rifle and trying to grasp what was so great about it while Ness was figuring out the price. Upon hearing what the price was, Jess replied by sucking in air like she'd just stubbed her toe and said, "Sorry, maybe we can--" Being cut off by the woman walking up and speaking, she looked over at her. "Um, what do you really think either of us has on us that'd be worth that much?" She asked, sounding somewhat suspicious.

[color=666666] "...Well, let's just say walking through one wouldn't be all that fun. But all in the pursuit of science and all that." [/color] Ness stated, looking toward Jess, idly waving her hand. Jess would see that the rifle seemed to be buffed and polished to a sheen. It was decorated with an orange, blue, and white paint job with various light blue accents decorating the sides. One thing of note was that the rifle had no scope on it.

The woman simply shook her head as she looked toward Jess with blood red eyes. [color=bb0066] "I wasn't talking about trading things with either of you. Just a little favor in exchange for my helping pay for the weapon. I know how Ms. Sinclair enjoys them." [/color] Ness blinked twice before facepalming herself. [color=666666] "....Ah... I thought you looked familiar." [/color]

The woman tilted her head, the smirk on her face increasing. [color=bb0066] "Aw~ You forgot about me? How rude..." [/color] She looked back toward Jess. [color=bb0066] "Well, miss? It's your choice to take the offer or not." [/color] Ness looked from the woman to the rifle, obviously conflicted.

"You know her Vanessa?" Weird coincidence... Jess directed towards Ness. Jess took a moment to consider whether or not Ness already knowing the person in question meant they were trustworthy or not. This consideration doing nothing to assuage her suspicion, she crossed her arms and replied to the silver-haired-woman, "Well considering the circumstances, I'm not just gonna agree to do something without hearing what it is first."

Axton and Seras saw Link slide down, then looked between the two paths. "Hey fairy boy! You see the girls down there?" Axton called down after Link.

Ness nodded a small bit. [color=666666] "Yeah... a bit...." [/color] She said, sighing a small bit. [color=666666] "Her name's Carmen." [/color]

Carmen nodded, her smirk still present on her face. [color=bb0066] "I'll just want you both to find me a little something. I know the general area where it is, but I've been feeling a little lazy. But as you go around the area, it'll be obvious to you when you find it." [/color] She explained, not expanding all that much.

Jess hummed to herself for a few moments in thought. "This isn't gonna be something illegal, is it?" She eventually decided to simply outright ask.

Carmen blinked for a moment before letting out a more amused chuckle. [color=bb0066] "Ms. Sinclair would have my head for asking such a thing, dear. It's not illegal, you have my word on that." [/color] She said, her smirk continuing to grow.

[hr]

Danielle simply nodded in response to Samus as she looked back toward Link. [color=ff00ff] "Hey, you alright over there?" [/color] Axton's voice would echo down after a short bit of time. If Navi had slid down along with Link, Axton and Seras would be in pitch black once again.
