“That so? Y’seem decent ‘nuff ta’ me. Hic. Nah, I mean… sometimes I’ll drink tea ‘n stuff with Reimu, but I usually gotta wash it down with some booze, heheh…”

┌ ☽ ┘; ❝Well the only thing we’ve done together is drink, which I don’t suppose is enough to go off of. Who’s this ‘Reimu’ you’re talking about though?❞

┌ ☽ ┘; Snapping his fingers, Tomoe created a little flame that danced upon his fingertip before quickly snuffing it out with his hand. Over and over he did this as he explored the city’s other districts and sections; it was simply a way to keep him occupied during his journey.

┌ ☽ ┘; As he began to turn around a corner though, he nearly collided into someone and almost singed off more than just a stray hair. Though the flame was barely bigger than that of a lighter and most of its magical features had been stripped away, fire was fire, and had the other gotten any closer it would’ve left quite the sting.

 ┌ ☽ ┘; ❝Wha--oi, watch where you’re going, human; do you want to get burned?!❞ Tomoe shouted, completely disregarding the fact that: A) neither knew the other was approaching and B) it was kind of his fault for conjuring flames all willy-nilly.

[onitoxicated-blog]

“That’s th’ best part! That gourd’ll never run out! Hic. Drink as much as ya’ want!” She giggled drunkenly. “Isn’t that what two people do when they become friends? ‘m pleased to make yer acquaintance, Tomoe! Hic.”

[veterator]

┌ ☽ ┘; Taking hold of the gourd, Tomoe shook it up and down a few times if only to affirm if what she said held true. And, what d’ya know, the slishing and sloshing of the liquid sounded just as full as it had during their initial meeting. ❝I would doubt so, but I’m not exactly known for making friends, so who knows. Is this all you drink then?❞

Big Bull bounced backwards at the sight of the cloud of flames, how cool! That was way cooler than just JUMPING over the pit! He giggled loudly and hopped up onto the cloud.

“Wahey! This is awesome! It aint even burning my tail either! Yahoo! Lets goooooooo!”

[veterator]

┌ ☽ ┘; ❝If your ceaseless bouncing causes you to fall into the pit of lava just know that I will not be moving out of my way to save you.❞

┌ ☽ ┘; Weaving past the flaming geysers that appeared every now and again, Tomoe skillfully made his way across to the other side of the room. He had already used roughly 3 minutes of his flames though, and they were only on the first room.. 

This dungeon may have been a bit harder than he gave credit.

┌ ☽ ┘; Despite having been the one to warn the bull about being rash though, Tomoe slammed the doors to the second room open without a second thought, only to be greeted with pure white pupils staring at him from the shadows. Disjointed limbs, scaly bodies, and skin colors as wide and varied as the rainbow; he’d only heard of the rejected experiments through rumors and whispers, and it seemed words alone were not enough to describe the deformities of the ones they called pariahs. Several were already staring at the duo, and it seemed there was no other choice than to pass through them if they hoped to reach the third room.

❝What do you suggest we do now, bull.❞

“It’s what I call everyone! Now come on, brother! We got a dungeon to explore! You GOTTA see that lava pit!”

Big Bull excitedly led Tomoe to the first room of the dungeon: a large, warm room with a deep depression in the middle. The room was bathed in the red glow of molten lava bubbling and boiling inside of the depression. Big Bull peeked into the depression and plucked a hair from his tail; dangling it over the pit, the strand of hair fizzled into ash just from the hot air alone.

“HOOO! That’s some HOT lava! Gahahaha! Watch your step brother! I’ll get us across!”

“Here! Let me pick you up! I’ll throw you across to the next door!”

[veterator]

┌ ☽ ┘; Being stripped of even his fan upon arriving at the city, Tomoe was forced to use his hand to try and bat away the heat. He may have used fire to attack, but being surrounded by the heat of it all in an enclosed area was an entirely different story.

┌ ☽ ┘; ❝You will not be throwing me anywhere.❞ Out of everyone else in Hive city, why oh why did this bull just happen to be the one Tomoe ran into. A huff of breath was released as he brought his hands up to massage his temple, feeling a headache already coming on. 

┌ ☽ ┘; The dungeon may have banned teleportation, but it held no specifics on flying. Summoning a cloud of flames to ride upon, Tomoe sat in the front before crossing his arms and looking down on the other. ❝Hurry it up, I only have this power for 20 minutes.❞

“Babysit me? Gahaha! I aint no little calf, brother! We shall go in together! You can even have my half of the prize! I don’t want it, I just wanna explore! Being in this city has been kinda boring lately, this dungeon is just what I need to get my blood boiling! Like in the old days!”

Big Bull charged forwards and opened the dungeon doors, hooting and hollering in excitement, until he remembered that he wanted to explore it with Tomoe and ran back to meet him through the dark corridor.

“Brother! Come in quick! It is amazing! There is a pool of lava to jump across! COME ON!”

[veterator]

┌ ☽ ┘; ❝The prize is the least of my concerns, I’m only looking to train; and why do you keep calling me brother?!❞ For starters they weren’t even partially of the same species, but even after asking that question he didn’t expect a reasonable answer--not from this one.

┌ ☽ ┘; Before he could refuse the other’s offer once more, the bull was already off. A hand stretched out futilely as if he would reach his overzealous companion in time, but before he could even say a word the other had already returned, seemingly even more pumped up than before, if that was even possible.

┌ ☽ ┘; ❝Wh--lava? ❞ And did he say to jump? This creature had an even thicker skull than he thought.. Tomoe refused to have his company be the reason he didn’t go into the dungeon though, so he supposed he had no choice other than to accompany the other. With a sigh, he crossed his arms and strode into the dungeon. ❝Don’t do anything foolish or rash. Now, show me where this ‘pool of lava’ is.❞

[onitoxicated-blog]

“Sure do, hic! Th’ name’s Suika. Anytime ya’ wanna get drunk or party, ya’ know who to find! So whadda I call you?”

[veterator]

┌ ☽ ┘; ❝You’ll rarely find me so heavily intoxicated, but a drink every now and again wouldn’t be too bad. You may call me Tomoe, but more importantly, how much more of this do you have?❞

The large, spiraling dungeon proved to be the one thing that Big Bull needed to truly get the blood pumping and his heart racing. He remembered the Sealed Cave and how fun it was to travel through! How fun it was to beat up the monsters inside!

But there was one thing that Big Bull missed: companionship during his dungeon travels. Ari and the others weren’t here, he couldn’t do something like this alone! He needed to get someone to go with him, someone to experience the beauty of a well made dungeon!

Well speak of the devil!

“Brother! Is that you?! Come! Lets explore this dungeon together! Hey hey hey!”

[veterator]

┌ ☽ ┘; Rather than try his hand at the dungeon for the rewards, Tomoe only sought to enter it in order to train. His foxfire had lost nearly all of its spiritual properties, and without a sword to use this gave him the perfect opportunity to hone his reflexes and body once more. It’d been a while since he’d been forced to rely on his claws and natural prowess, but it seemed if he wanted to survive in this city he would have to adapt.

┌ ☽ ┘; Just as he braced himself to open the dungeon doors, the words of a rather loud and rather obnoxious bull rang throughout his ears, causing them to twitch a bit with how sensitive they were.

❝I don’t have the time to baby sit you. You probably wouldn’t even be able to make it past the first room; it’d be a pain to have to save you all the time.❞
