( WEEK 2 - ???, JAKE & ANDERSEN )

[When both Andersen and Jake come to, they'll find themselves in Yuggoth's sewage system.

Water will drip from the ceiling, the stench of feces and other assorted wastes filling the air. From their current position, strewn on the ground in a mess of limbs, they'll notice two things. Firstly, that there isn't a single trace of the hole that led them here in the ceiling above them. Secondly, that Jake's pipe seems to have landed a couple steps away from them. It's still fairly intact, if not covered in sewage sludge.

In the distance, they'll hear a light and feminine voice speak to them:]


You shouldn't have come here.

[And then they're on their own.

The sewage provides them two options at the moment: to go north or south. What will they do?]

[Well fuck. The first thing Jake notices when he comes to is that smell. Talk about smelling salts; that'll really jump start anybody's brain. The second thing, aside from a headache, is that his ankle is killing him. He remembers that's where he was grabbed and yeah, fuck. They fell. Or were kidnapped, rather, but it amounts to the same thing at the moment.

That lady's voice is really not reassuring in this situation either.

Pushing himself to his feet with shaky limbs, he notices the pipe but has to make sure of something else, first.]


Are you all right, Andersen?

[At least the glasses duo can be grateful they have their eyewear still. Though Jake really needs to clean his but he will in a second.]

Ummm... [He frowns. Andersen is bleeding. Jake looks around the disgusting sewer before settling back on the pipe. It still has his shirt wrapped around it the way he was using it for a handle. He pulls it out of the sewer gunk, making a face, and unwraps the shirt.]

Give me your leg. I can at least cover it.

[Since it looks like they're going to be walking. It might not stop an infection - in fact it probably won't - but it's worth a shot. He gets out the scalpel from his pocket and uses it to cut some strips off the shirt.]

Is that the only bleeding bit?

[Jake bends over his leg, wrapping it up in bits of the shirt and tying it tight; a little uncomfortably tight but, well, it's the best he can do to keep out infection. Once he has, he takes a moment to clean off his glasses, since he actually needs them, before picking up the pipe again with the leftover shirt as a grip.]

I'll say. And with no sign of the collapse, either.

[That bothers him. It means they're probably far away from that place now. Or, possibly, still right under it and this is just horror bullshit.]

I suppose we should have listened to the Lady of the Sewer we heard a minute ago. I'm... sorry for dragging you into this.

[Aw, grandpa. It makes Jake feel a little better and at least they are in one piece ahaha so he'll take it for now. But first he holds the scalpel out to Andersen.]

Here. It isn't much but... just in case.

[If something happens to him, he's not leaving Andersen to fend for himself with nothing.]

Northern path it is! [He'll lead, keeping much closer to Andersen this time.]

[Jake was about to ask Andersen to tell a story, because you know he's a famous author and that clearly would not be too demanding and might lift their spirits from this nasty place. But luckily for Andersen, their lives are in danger.]

Excuse me!

[He hoists Andersen up into his arms, holding him in a tight embrace while still gripping the pipe because they really, really might need that. They can't head back, though, the only way is forward and Jake runs, hoping at least Andersen can keep an eye on the incoming plague.]

[Jake is lucky in that he doesn't see them and frankly he doesn't want to. Just because he can handle monsters doesn't mean he isn't still scared of them and his imagination is more than making up for not knowing exactly what these 'rats' look like.

When he realises how quickly they're gaining ground, he know there are only two options. Neither of them are pretty and if he were alone, he might be tempted to try fighting them off. But he's not and he can't risk fucking up when Andersen will suffer for it. Infections might kill them eventually but these things will kill them now.]


Hold your breath!

[That's the warning Andersen gets before he's tossed into the canal with Jake jumping in right behind him.]

[Jake clings to the pipe and when the rat creatures come near, as much as he doesn't want to, he makes sure to sink back down as much as he can while still keeping an eye on them. And that is definitely creepy to watch, they're not exactly easy on the eyes either, but once they're gone, truly gone, Jake finally speaks.]

This is disgusting.

[He throws the pipe up onto the walkway again, other arm still looped around the pipe, and reaches out for Andersen. He'll boost him out of this muck first at least.]

[Jake can't blame him. He pulls himself up and just kind of lies on his side retching but nothing actually comes up. Lucky him? He groans, feeling sick to his stomach and he can't get the smell off him, even if he wanted to, because those rats would find them in a heartbeat. All he can really do is swat away the excess gunk and unknown grime.]

At least... they won't find us now. [He mutters it while reaching out to grasp the pipe again. It's so slimy now that it's definitely good he tied his shirt around it.]

[Not that Jake can blame him but he still frowns.]

Well, don't worry your pretty little head over it. We smell like a horse's asshole after the derby which is probably the least inviting smell there is, so I doubt we'll need to have another dunk soon.

[At least that's what he hopes. He starts to get up, then pauses and flops back over. Andersen still isn't looking too hot. He's in a kid's body and while he might be a magical summon spirit, he's just a normal child right now. It might be better to rest a few minutes before pushing onward.]

We'll rest for a minute, all right?

[God, he doesn't know how far he ran but it feels like they're deep in now. Hard to tell when sewers are not particularly distinct.]

[Jake wouldn't know. He's had to change bandages plenty of times but never had to deal with something like this. They're covered in filth, so he can't make a new bandage, either. And he's still wondering what else is down here, where that skeleton creature went and where they're even going.

Rolling onto his back, he takes the time to wipe his glasses again, though it doesn't do him much good. All it does is smear them further. He sighs and just puts them in his pocket. Bad eyesight is better than trying to see through literal shit and he isn't blind without them, just rather inconvenienced.]


I really cannot wait to get back to the motel and frankly speaking I can't believe I've arrived at that point.

Don't die and leave me lonely. I'd get a mite bit spooked down here.
