Ask me things idk -ON TEMPORARY HIATUS-

[exp3ndabl3]

Hello, and welcome to this here expendable ask blog! I am the mod, and you can call me Crow!

Purple text means I’m talking ooc!

READ THE RULES BEFORE YOU SEND ASKS

————————————

Ok!

First off, let’s lay out some ground rules.

The do-nots

-absolutely ZERO homophobia, transphobia, or discrimination of ANY KIND is allowed. Nor is any bigotry. You will be blocked with no warning.

-nothing sexual or suggestive. That makes me incredibly uncomfortable. Keep it PG.

-no extreme gore or violence. I don’t want to be reading a detailed description of a wound or anything of the sort, but I’m fine with blood and descriptions that are a little more vague. If you’re worried it’ll be too much, just ask me and I’ll tell u whether it’s ok or not.

————————————

The dos!

-other ask blogs (and other blogs in general), feel free to interact! I don’t bite, I promise!

-start roleplays! That’s what I’m here for! I'm fairly new to rp, and this blog is part of me trying to get better at it, so please be kind! I also have anxiety and am neurodivergent so forgive me if my responses seem somewhat awkward. I'm doing my best I promise! :)

-feel free to send me asks! Unfortunately I cannot promise I'II respond fast due to motivation and external commitments, but I will try to respond as fast as I can! In fact, PLEASE send me asks!

————————————

Other things/depends

-shipping is a little iffy. I am aroace and role playing romantic pairings can make me feel a little uncomfortable sometimes. Though I’m generally fine with it, I do prefer to stick to platonic relationships. If you want to do a ship rp, just ask first and I’ll tell you if it’s ok!

—>along with this, if we are doing a ship rp, again, nothing sexual or suggestive. keep it PG.

—>whether I’ll say yes to a ship or not is heavily dependent on what the ship is. Endless torment trio is the one I’m most likely to say yes to.

Anything not mentioned here is generally ok, but if you’re worried, just ask me!

————————————

Hcs/info abt my version of Expendable.

-uses he/him pronouns but is occasionally fine with they/them

-(if in an ETT rp)-has met Tourist & John before, really likes both of them, though he and John jokingly beef a lot. (Whether he has a crush on them or not is dependent on whether the mod is feeling comfortable doing a ship rp, but mod is an ett shipper.)

-likes to annoy Sebastian. Thinks it is really really funny

-ADORES the sea bunnies

-rescued painter once without realizing what they were doing, has never done it again. He feels bad for the computer. Even if it is a total pain in the ass to deal with.

-he doesn’t remember much from before the blacksite. The only things he remembers semi-clearly are that he liked playing the cello, that he had a little sibling, and that he had a pet cat. He has no idea what he did to get down here, but he gets flashes of memory every once in a while. Though this doesn’t happen often, and he usually doesn’t remember these flashes for more than a few hours.

-severely touch starved

-likes getting the imaginary friend remotes to have someone to talk to.

-adhd

-likes to speedrun thru the rooms sometimes.

-HATES wall dwellers

-absolutely despises pandemonium. That thing has been the end of far too many runs.

-was around 29 or 30 (he thinks) when he was put in prison. was in prison for maybe a year before urbanshade snatched him up. Hasn’t aged since he stepped foot in the blacksite.

-atheist

————————————

Optional mod info!!

-main blog is @threecrowsinacoat! I don’t post a whooole lot but I post art sometimes

-mod has school 5 days a week

-uses they/them

-call me Crow!

-this is my first ask blog please be patient w/ me!

-mod has adhd

-mod has anxiety, this blog is part of how I’m trying to overcome my eternal fear of interacting with ppl online

-I don’t roleplay a lot, so please be patient with me if my stuff sounds awkward.

————————————

ENJOY YOUR STAY AND TRY NOT TO GET EATEN BY AN ANGLER!

[threecrowsinacoat]

I don’t even know what to say. I am so disgusted and beyond disappointed at what I’ve read in that document. The fact that people I looked up to, drew fanart for, and gave my money to would do something like this is appalling. I feel lied to.

I don’t know what I’ll do in the future. I still really care about the canon characters, and don’t feel like I can just leave them behind. I don’t know. There is a chance that I’ll take the entirety of pressure and kindof warp it into a slightly different thing so I can still make fanart and stuff. I just don’t know.

Fuck you Zeal and all those who stand with him.

Stand with Ren

[exp3ndabl3]

I don’t know what I’m going to do with this blog. I know I was on hiatus, and I’ll probably stay on hiatus for a while. I don’t know. There is a chance I will completely abandon this blog after what has happened, and if I do, I wanted to say thank you to everyone I’ve ever interacted with here. Yall have been great, and I’ll miss you guys.

Fuck you zeal

Stand with Ren

[exp3ndabl3]

Coming back after multiple months to say that I’m so sorry for the sudden hiatus, the pressure hyperfixation died out a little and I’ve just had a lot going on recently. The hiatus will be continuing for an unknown period of time, but I do hope to come back to this blog eventually. I just have to focus a lot on school and actually graduating rn.

I’ll still be active on my main blog. If you wanna chat, feel free to!! Thank you to all those who I’ve interacted with here, it’s been so lovely. And I’m sorry about leaving yall hanging for so long. This has been so much fun, and I do hope to be back eventually!

This isn’t a goodbye, it’s a see you later.

Crow <3

[exp3ndabl3]

As you walk down the metal halls of the Hadel Blacksite, something in your peripheral vision catches your eye. It’s a small dark blue gift box, sitting next to your path. It has a small tag on it, it reads…

“To: Able! From: Tourist :) happy holidays friend!”

(( @doors-after-doors hi again and happy holidays! Hope ur having a lovely day today!))

He picks the gift up, a smile stretching across their face as he reads the tag. He stows it away to open later somewhere safe, and makes his way onto the next room. All the while looking for a gift he can give them in return.

A little while later while Tourist is walking through the hallways of the hotel, they catch sight of a small parcel wrapped in what appears to be discarded documents siting on a table nearby. Attached to it with a small piece of tape is a tag that reads…

“To: Tourist! From:Able

Thank you for the gift, it really made my day. Happy holidays to you as well friend :)”

[doors-after-doors]

apon seeing the gift in the hall they smile widely! After picking it up They looked for some place safe to sit and open the gift, eventually settling on a side room. They gingerly strolled over to the room and sat on the bed inside, gently turning the parcel in their hands as if it were the most precious thing in the world. They were very happy apon learning that Able enjoyed his gift, or at least the gesture. As they inspected the package they wonder if Able opened his gift box yet, they knew the Blacksite was not the safest place to sit and open gifts...

[exp3ndabl3]

Able is running down one of the halls of the Blacksite, the gift box from Tourist tucked securely under his arm. He spots a side room and practically dives through the doorway just as the angler screamed past. That was close.

Able’s heart pounds in his ears as they lean back against the wall next to the door, heart rate slowing as he slides down the wall to sit on the floor. After a moment of calming himself down, he lets out a weary sigh. Might as well rest a bit before setting back out.

He takes the package out from under his arm, he hasn’t had time to open it since he got it. There haven’t been a lot of ‘safe’ areas this run. But this room seems as good as any, so he starts to unwrap the gift, being careful to not damage the wrappings. Inside the gift he finds….

[doors-after-doors]

a dark blue scarf rests inside the box, a jellyfish embroidered on the fabric. It’s soft to the touch and seems to be made with care. Light blue bubbles fluctuating in size are embroidered on the fabric aswell, they seem to get bigger the farther they are from the jellyfish.

Next to it lies a small hand written note, it says…

“To keep you warm during the cold nights! happy new year and holidays Able. From your friend, Tourist :)”

[exp3ndabl3]

Able takes the scarf out of the box as though it is the most delicate thing he has ever held, smiling so big. He runs his hands over the soft fabric, admiring all the details.

He lays the scarf across his knees, taking the note out of the box and reading it. As he reads it, their smile grows even larger and a warm feeling spreads through their chest. When he’s done reading, He wraps the scarf around his neck and tucks the note into one of their pockets for safekeeping.

The thought that he should probably get up and move on sometime soon crosses his mind, but it is swiftly chased out by the exhaustion. He buries his face in the scarf and falls asleep, a smile still on their face.

-on his next run, the scarf and note somehow stay with them even though items usually don’t. He doesn’t know why, but they aren’t gonna look a gift horse in the mouth. He just tucks the scarf into one of his bigger pockets so it doesn’t get damaged as easily and continues on, smiling more than usual.-

[doors-after-doors]

meanwhile in the hotel….

Tourist sat down on the floor of Jeff’s shop, exalting heavy, leaning against one of the support beams and catching their breath. Figure had been a serious pain this last run, it almost caught them this time. They got lucky.

they took a deep breath in, feeling their muscles relax as they did. They swung their satchel into their lap and began rummaging through it, looking for a snack or something to fill their time. They felt their hand bush against the familiar smooth texture of paper. Slowly they pulled out the gift from their bag. They inspected the outside carefully, turning it slowly and carefully in their hands. They began to open the gift, handling it carefully like it was the most precious thing in the world. It was to them. It would always be be of it was from them

[exp3ndabl3]

Inside the paper wrappings lays a small sea bunny plush. The plush looks a little haphazard, with the fabric clearly having been scraps that Able found around the blacksite and sewed together. It’s a little lopsided, but it is clearly made with love. Able even managed to find some purple dye somewhere for its antennae and little spikes.

Laid on the plushie’s belly is a slightly raggedy hand written note. This note says….

“A friend to keep you company when you feel lonely and we can’t be there for you, since you loved the sea bunnies so much. Happy holidays and happy new year Tourist! from your dear friend Able! :^D”

[exp3ndabl3]

as you walk through the metal halls of the black site, you hear the sound of footsteps echoing behind you. Not just your own footsteps, there seems to be a second pair of steps echoing off the walls. before you can turn around you feel a tap on your shoulder. You spin around quick and see a familiar face before you,

“Ah! Sorry Exp, I didn’t mean to scare you.”

Tourist stands there with a nervous grin on their face. They do seem happy to see you though.

(@doors-after-doors)((hi there! Nice to meet u!))

Expendable relaxes slightly at the sight of Tourist, thankful that it wasn’t something else creeping up on him.

“Oh- hi Tourist! You’re good, I’m just glad you weren’t a wall dweller or something.”

Expendable smiles back at Tourist, he looks happy to see them.

“Just warn me next time eh?”

His smile shifts into a bit of a joking smirk.

(Hi!! Nice to meet you too!!) (Sorry it took me so long to get back to you lol, I haven’t been on this account much in the past few days.))

[doors-after-doors]

They chuckle a bit at Exp’s response, it was nice to hear their voice again. It had been quite a bit since they got the opportunity to visit him, they were curious on how he’d been doing lately.

“Hehe will do! So how have things been down here lately? Any new foes or friends?”

((ur all good, I don’t mind waiting at all:D))

[exp3ndabl3]

“Hm, no not really. Mainly just more of the same. Sebastian is as much of an asshole as normal.”

He chuckles a little, obvious dislike seeping into their tone as they talk about the shopkeeper. He pauses for a moment, seemingly thinking, before his face lights up.

“Oh! I did come across the cutest things on my last run though! They’re these little bunny-like-creatures about yay big,-“

He brings his hands up from where they were resting at his sides, gesturing the vague size of the sea bunnies.

“-and they’re really friendly! How about you? How’re things in the hotel?”

His hands return to his sides, one hand slipping into his pocket. He smiles absentmindedly, it’s been so long since he’s seen Tourist, and it’s really nice to be able to talk to them again.

(How’re you doing today?)

[doors-after-doors]

Tourist smile widened as they listened to Exp talk, celestials it had been so long since they heard his voice. They walk around to his side as they talk, never breaking eye contact. at least they think so, hard to tell with the black bar over Exp’s eyes.

“Those bunnies sound like lovely little critters, I would love to meet one sometime! As for the Hotel things have been surprisingly busy lately. I’ve meet some new people, they’re all pretty nice so far. Oh! Also the architects are curious about you and John”

Celestials they missed this.

[exp3ndabl3]

He smiles back at Tourist. He really loves listening to them talk, they have a nice voice. It’s a nice reprieve from the spooky (and occasionally grating) noises of the blacksite.

“Yeah! I think there should be some somewhere up ahead actually!”

He nods, listening intently as Tourist speaks. His expression shifts to a more surprised one as Tourist mentions the architects.

“Oh really? How so?”

[doors-after-doors]

“what are we waiting for then?! Let’s go see those bunnies! I’ll explain about the architects on the way.”

they grabbed onto expendables arm trying (and failing) to pull them along. Once they got moving they started to explain

“So, The architects had somehow heard of you two before I told them about you. Both Guide and Misch have asked about you and John, they look forward to meeting you guys!”

[exp3ndabl3]

Expendable nods at Tourist’s words, jumping a little as they grab his arm. He relaxes quickly though, and chuckles as Tourist tries to pull him along, stepping forwards to walk beside them. The warmth of Tourist’s hand is the first he’s felt since he, Tourist, and John had last parted ways. It’s nice, makes him fell more like a person.

He nods along as Tourist talks, always keeping alert for any sign of an incoming angler or other entity. It’s become routine at this point.

“Hm, interesting, I wonder how they heard about us…”

He looks deep in thought for a moment before he shakes his head and smiles again.

“Whatever. I look forwards to meeting them too!”

[doors-after-doors]

they smile at Able (expendable), how long had it been since they last saw him? They weren’t quite sure but that didn’t matter now. All that mattered is he was here now.

“I’ll definitely let them know next time I see them!”

it felt nice to just be here with him. Walking and talking like they were regular people in a normal world. They relished in the silence for a moment, letting the feeling of calm wash over them. When they finally spoke their voice came out soft yet warm.

“I missed this.”

[exp3ndabl3]

He hummed a little at Tourist’s words, relishing their warmth at his side, it was a nice reprieve from the ever present cold of the Blacksite. He had missed this, had missed them. It has been far too long since their universes last allowed them to be with one another.

Walking through the halls of the Blacksite felt different with Tourist there. It wasn’t like when he’d go on runs with other expendables, it felt less cold, less lonely. He closed his eyes for a moment, just relishing in the knowledge that here and now, he wasn’t alone.

His chest warmed at their words, his smile softening a little.

“Me too…”

His reply came out much softer and warmer than he had intended, so he bumped their shoulders together, hoping that Tourist wouldn’t notice his slip-up. He didn’t like being soft, in a place like this, doing that could get you killed.

[doors-after-doors]

They smiled at Ables words. They had always loved this softer side to him. it made them feel like he really did want them there with him as much as they wanted to be there by his side. They had missed him ((and John but he’s not here right now)) then they could ever possibly express through words.

but did he miss you?

as the two entered the next room, a noise caught Tourists attention. It was an echoey high pitched chirping sound they had never heard before. They turned to face the direction of the sound and gasped. They immediately ran over to the source, leaving Ables side.

[exp3ndabl3]

He jumps a little at the noise, but it only takes him a moment or two to recognize it, a smile slowly spreading over his face at the realization. He runs after Tourist towards the echoey chirps of one of the only truly friendly creatures in this hellsite, the sea bunnies.

He pauses beside Tourist at the top of the stairs that lead down into the little area where the sea bunnies usually wander about. The smile on his face growing as he sees the little white and purple creatures walking around. They sure are a sight for sore eyes.

When they speak, their voice sounds a little brighter, and if you could see his eyes, they’d practically be sparkling. He’s clearly very happy to see the little creatures.

“We’re here! These are the bunnies I was talking about earlier!”

They make their way down the stairs, and several of the bunnies waddle up him, making happy little chittering noises in greeting.

Their cute noises and endearing personalities never fail to forge a warm feeling in his chest, and his smile grows impossibly wider as he kneels down to greet them, motioning for Tourist to join him.

As he talks to the bunnies, their voice increases in pitch a little, almost like it would if you were talking to a puppy or a kitten.

“Awww… hi little guys!”

He rubs the area in-between one of the bunnies’ antennae-things and it happily pushes its head upwards into their hand, letting out a warbly sound not unlike a cat’s purr.

[doors-after-doors]

they follow Able down the steps, chuckling as they watch them talk to the bunnies, feeling a warmth fill their chest. They’re glad that at least theres one friendly creature to keep him company when they can’t.

they reach to bottom of the steps, watching them talk bunnies with a smile on their face. Then they feel it. A rub against their leg. They look down to find…a bunny. They bend down and pick it up, speaking in the same sing-song tone as Able.

“Hello there little guy, what’s your name?”

it looks up at them, and chirps. Tourists thinks their heart might melt from the cuteness. They turn to look at Able, silently asking ‘Can we keep them?’

[exp3ndabl3]

Able looks over at Tourist playing with the bunny, a small smile growing on his face as an odd warmth blossoms in his chest. It’s so nice to see Tourist playing with the little guys.

He just sits there and admires Tourist for a moment, absentmindedly petting the bunnies. Smile still resting on his face. However he is soon distracted from his admiration by one of the bunnies pawing at his knee. He lifts up the little creature and it plants its nubbin feet on his chest and snuffles at his cheek, causing him to laugh a little.

“Oh stop that you little rascal! That tickles!”

They ‘ruffle’ its antenna and it squeaks a little in amusement before settling down. He wraps his arms around it more securely and looks back up at Tourist, seeing their questioning expression.

“I see someone likes the sea bunnies!”

He teases them lightly, smile turning into a small teasing smirk. He is already prepared to say yes to whatever they ask.

[exp3ndabl3]

As you walk down the metal halls of the Hadel Blacksite, something in your peripheral vision catches your eye. It’s a small dark blue gift box, sitting next to your path. It has a small tag on it, it reads…

“To: Able! From: Tourist :) happy holidays friend!”

[exp3ndabl3]

-mod here again-

I am BACK. Finals have released me and I’m onto winter break!! Hooray!!!! Yippee!!!

[exp3ndabl3]

as you walk through the metal halls of the black site, you hear the sound of footsteps echoing behind you. Not just your own footsteps, there seems to be a second pair of steps echoing off the walls. before you can turn around you feel a tap on your shoulder. You spin around quick and see a familiar face before you,

“Oh- hi Tourist! You’re good, I’m just glad you weren’t a wall dweller or something.”

Expendable smiles back at Tourist, he looks happy to see them.

“Just warn me next time eh?”

His smile shifts into a bit of a joking smirk.

(Hi!! Nice to meet you too!!) (Sorry it took me so long to get back to you lol, I haven’t been on this account much in the past few days.))

He chuckles a little, obvious dislike seeping into their tone as they talk about the shopkeeper. He pauses for a moment, seemingly thinking, before his face lights up.

“Oh! I did come across the cutest things on my last run though! They’re these little bunny-like-creatures about yay big,-“

“So, The architects had somehow heard of you two before I told them about you. Both Guide and Misch have asked about you and John, they look forward to meeting you guys!”

[exp3ndabl3]

Expendable nods at Tourist’s words, jumping a little as they grab his arm. He relaxes quickly though, and chuckles as Tourist tries to pull him along, stepping forwards to walk beside them. The warmth of Tourist’s hand is the first he’s felt since he, Tourist, and John had last parted ways. It’s nice, makes him fell more like a person.

He nods along as Tourist talks, always keeping alert for any sign of an incoming angler or other entity. It’s become routine at this point.

“Hm, interesting, I wonder how they heard about us…”

He looks deep in thought for a moment before he shakes his head and smiles again.

“Whatever. I look forwards to meeting them too!”

[doors-after-doors]

they smile at Able (expendable), how long had it been since they last saw him? They weren’t quite sure but that didn’t matter now. All that mattered is he was here now.

“I’ll definitely let them know next time I see them!”

it felt nice to just be here with him. Walking and talking like they were regular people in a normal world. They relished in the silence for a moment, letting the feeling of calm wash over them. When they finally spoke their voice came out soft yet warm.

“I missed this.”

[exp3ndabl3]

He hummed a little at Tourist’s words, relishing their warmth at his side, it was a nice reprieve from the ever present cold of the Blacksite. He had missed this, had missed them. It has been far too long since their universes last allowed them to be with one another.

Walking through the halls of the Blacksite felt different with Tourist there. It wasn’t like when he’d go on runs with other expendables, it felt less cold, less lonely. He closed his eyes for a moment, just relishing in the knowledge that here and now, he wasn’t alone.

His chest warmed at their words, his smile softening a little.

“Me too…”

His reply came out much softer and warmer than he had intended, so he bumped their shoulders together, hoping that Tourist wouldn’t notice his slip-up. He didn’t like being soft, in a place like this, doing that could get you killed.

[doors-after-doors]

They smiled at Ables words. They had always loved this softer side to him. it made them feel like he really did want them there with him as much as they wanted to be there by his side. They had missed him ((and John but he’s not here right now)) then they could ever possibly express through words.

but did he miss you?

as the two entered the next room, a noise caught Tourists attention. It was an echoey high pitched chirping sound they had never heard before. They turned to face the direction of the sound and gasped. They immediately ran over to the source, leaving Ables side.

[exp3ndabl3]

He jumps a little at the noise, but it only takes him a moment or two to recognize it, a smile slowly spreading over his face at the realization. He runs after Tourist towards the echoey chirps of one of the only truly friendly creatures in this hellsite, the sea bunnies.

He pauses beside Tourist at the top of the stairs that lead down into the little area where the sea bunnies usually wander about. The smile on his face growing as he sees the little white and purple creatures walking around. They sure are a sight for sore eyes.

When they speak, their voice sounds a little brighter, and if you could see his eyes, they’d practically be sparkling. He’s clearly very happy to see the little creatures.

“We’re here! These are the bunnies I was talking about earlier!”

They make their way down the stairs, and several of the bunnies waddle up him, making happy little chittering noises in greeting.

Their cute noises and endearing personalities never fail to forge a warm feeling in his chest, and his smile grows impossibly wider as he kneels down to greet them, motioning for Tourist to join him.

As he talks to the bunnies, their voice increases in pitch a little, almost like it would if you were talking to a puppy or a kitten.

“Awww… hi little guys!”

He rubs the area in-between one of the bunnies’ antennae-things and it happily pushes its head upwards into their hand, letting out a warbly sound not unlike a cat’s purr.

-mod here-

OOOOOKAY. It has been a MINUTE. I’m alive I swear finals are just kicking my ass rn. I’ll be back to being more active when winter break starts. (Haven’t even been active on my main blog ts bad lmao)

[exp3ndabl3]

as you walk through the metal halls of the black site, you hear the sound of footsteps echoing behind you. Not just your own footsteps, there seems to be a second pair of steps echoing off the walls. before you can turn around you feel a tap on your shoulder. You spin around quick and see a familiar face before you,

“Ah! Sorry Exp, I didn’t mean to scare you.”

Tourist stands there with a nervous grin on their face. They do seem happy to see you though.

(@doors-after-doors)((hi there! Nice to meet u!))

Expendable relaxes slightly at the sight of Tourist, thankful that it wasn’t something else creeping up on him.

“Oh- hi Tourist! You’re good, I’m just glad you weren’t a wall dweller or something.”

Expendable smiles back at Tourist, he looks happy to see them.

“Just warn me next time eh?”

His smile shifts into a bit of a joking smirk.

(Hi!! Nice to meet you too!!) (Sorry it took me so long to get back to you lol, I haven’t been on this account much in the past few days.))

[doors-after-doors]

They chuckle a bit at Exp’s response, it was nice to hear their voice again. It had been quite a bit since they got the opportunity to visit him, they were curious on how he’d been doing lately.

“Hehe will do! So how have things been down here lately? Any new foes or friends?”

((ur all good, I don’t mind waiting at all:D))

[exp3ndabl3]

“Hm, no not really. Mainly just more of the same. Sebastian is as much of an asshole as normal.”

He chuckles a little, obvious dislike seeping into their tone as they talk about the shopkeeper. He pauses for a moment, seemingly thinking, before his face lights up.

“Oh! I did come across the cutest things on my last run though! They’re these little bunny-like-creatures about yay big,-“

He brings his hands up from where they were resting at his sides, gesturing the vague size of the sea bunnies.

“-and they’re really friendly! How about you? How’re things in the hotel?”

His hands return to his sides, one hand slipping into his pocket. He smiles absentmindedly, it’s been so long since he’s seen Tourist, and it’s really nice to be able to talk to them again.

(How’re you doing today?)

[doors-after-doors]

Tourist smile widened as they listened to Exp talk, celestials it had been so long since they heard his voice. They walk around to his side as they talk, never breaking eye contact. at least they think so, hard to tell with the black bar over Exp’s eyes.

“Those bunnies sound like lovely little critters, I would love to meet one sometime! As for the Hotel things have been surprisingly busy lately. I’ve meet some new people, they’re all pretty nice so far. Oh! Also the architects are curious about you and John”

Celestials they missed this.

[exp3ndabl3]

He smiles back at Tourist. He really loves listening to them talk, they have a nice voice. It’s a nice reprieve from the spooky (and occasionally grating) noises of the blacksite.

“Yeah! I think there should be some somewhere up ahead actually!”

He nods, listening intently as Tourist speaks. His expression shifts to a more surprised one as Tourist mentions the architects.

“Oh really? How so?”

[doors-after-doors]
