TREASURE
You are so, so sure there's treasure in the cave. Just a little bit further on than your light reaches. Juuuuust a little further.
No, further.
Go on.
This is completely safe.
No, further.
Go on.
This is completely safe.

Tch!

...Hello? Is someone there?
no subject
Eiji?
no subject
—Ankh?
no subject
He stands and stares for a long moment, barely breathing.
Eiji.
He nods.]
no subject
and then the realization actually hits him, that Ankh is here, and he lunges for a hug without another thought]
no subject
So he allows it to happen. For a while.]
no subject
he doesn't let go but he mumbles into Ankh's shoulder]
How did this—how did you get here?

i mean that's because someone is using a laser to look around. a snail laser. snail laser night vision goggles.]

—Oh no—
[not seeing you in time]
no subject
Are you some kind of wildlife? Mythological creature? Oh, are you a cave-dwelling bandit?
no subject
[can he help you up, because he's definitely going to try]
no subject
[tbh he doesn't seem to notice or care that he got knocked over! he will let you help him up, though he is definitely more interested in looking through the goggles at you.]
no subject
[peering at you awkwardly, from one angle and then another, as if he could see past the goggles if he tried]

--and please, there's no way he's not looking around here. If he researches the composition of the stalactites, he can determine the age and type of cave. Which should tell him whether this lead is worth the dozens of text messages he will inevitably have when he's back within phone reception.
Wait, when did he lose reception in the first place? He definitely had it a minute ago.
Well, whatever, poking at the stalactites exactly like people are not supposed to do, because SCIENCE.]
no subject
He swallows hard.
Then goes out to find him, sending the Bat Shot ahead to search.]
no subject
Oh, that looks like basalt! Maybe this cave is a lava tube, which would mean that it's probably too recent for any dinosaurs to have ever been here. Shoutarou will appreciate that fact. There might still be a Gaia Memory, though. Better be careful.]
no subject
Oi, Philip! What are you doing here? Don't just trust handwritten signs telling you there's treasure inside!
no subject
What sign? I have no need for treasure, and if I did I could just look up where it was. I don't actually remember leaving the office, but I was distracted by the volcanic formations after I got here.
no subject
You didn't run into any shady characters today, did you? No one came into the office while I was out getting us more coffee and typewriter paper?
no subject
[This is... really distressing all of a sudden! He does not like gaps in his memory or getting kidnapped or both, for obvious reasons!]
no subject
Philip, could you have built a teleporter out of the toaster?
[It's the least frightening reason for the sudden disappearance he can think of...]
