Well, well, well
Who: Rakka, Penny, Jane, and Jade.
Where: Azalea town; outside and inside the Slowpoke Well
When: July 15th
Summary: Girls day out! Well exploring and treasure hunting!
Rating: PGfor possibly gay
Log:
Some time ago, Jane had planned to head down to Azalea town for the sake of getting her next badge, simple stuff. She had also asked everyone in the Homestuck House if they wanted to come along. There were... less people in the house these days, which lead to most of them going along ith Jane for the heck of it, provide moral support, and Rakka found it worth it just to get out of the city for a while.
Not because she was feeling bad about missing friends. No way. They were all completely fine.
The trip was quick and uneventful, which is just the way when you can Fly. The small group stayed in the inn for the duration of the trip, hanging out and trying to beat the heat. Jane, Penny, and Jade were great traveling buddies, Rakka couldn't ask for more. But it just seemed like they were in a bit of a rut.
But then, there was an idea. You know how sometimes you're doing something else, but then an idea strikes you that you just need to do? It's one of those ideas, and it's one of those days - in this instance, it's perfect too; it's way too warm out here on this humid Saturday.
Which was how she convinced the others to come with her on an adventure, and why the gaggle of girls were currently standing outside the Slowpoke Well, situated just outside of Azalea town.

Outside the Well
Okay, here we are! Is everyone prepare for this? Once we're inside, it should be a whole lot cooler.
[Not that she's ever been in the well before.... She's hoping one of them have.]
no subject
Ready as I'll ever be. Golly, I wonder how the Slowpoke get down there in the first place...
[Because the well is named for a reason right? People don't just chuck them into a well in this town, right?]
no subject
...well, maybe they come out of it? Like, maybe in there is where Slowpoke come from?
[That makes sense...] Who wants to go first?
no subject
[But hey, might as well begin the descent. Jane raises her hand, coming forward.] I'll go.
no subject
[That must take them forever, seriously.]
Ooh, maybe they have special access stairs just for them!
no subject
[She looks at Penny.]
What about you, Penny? Do you want to go?
no subject
[For... Slowpoke-sized tunnels or something? She is a soldier, not a scientist.]
Oh, definitely! ...do you think we should just go one at a time, or...?
[She was gonna kind of wait on Jane. It seems polite.]
no subject
[She's definitely down for finding slowpoke tunnels, Penny. It's what she's here for. (?)]
...Oh. [Right. They're all here. And there's one well.] Well, I think we should go one at a time. If we all went at once, I'm not sure if we would all fit.
[Who knows with all that slime.] Jane?
no subject
[I mean of course they gotta go down one at a time, any other way isn't safe.]
Would you like to go first, Rakka?
no subject
[Well, she did make the suggestion that brought them all here.]
Umm... maybe, could one of you two go first? [She's had... bad experiences with wells.] I'm worried that I could slip.
no subject
Oh! I don't mind going first, in that case. That way, should anything happen...er, at least landing on me, you'll land on something soft?
[NOT HELPING JANE]
no subject
no subject
Penny, you would really do that? [How... brave.] If you can really do that, I-I would appreciate it.
[she doesn't want her Well Troubles to worry anyone!!]
no subject
[She gives a quick salute.]
Okay then, I'll see you at the bottom-!
[And hopping down the ladder a few steps, then- maybe don't let her slide down the sides like a firepole- nope, too late.]
Wheeeeee- oh, ow.
[And then a second later, calling up from the darkness-]
I'm okay! [hic]
no subject
Penny! Oh my gosh...a-are you sure? Nothing hurts, does it?
no subject
Penny! [Sorry, Jane, but Rakka's taking the ladder next. Here she gooooooooes.
Through some miracle
called using a ladder correctlyRakka reaches the bottom of the well and lands in a puddle of... Slowpoke slime. Eugh. But there are more pressing matters!!! Like Penny!!]Penny! Are you alright?
no subject
no subject
[When Jane and Rakka make it down to the bottom of the ladder, Penny's standing there, perfectly okay. Really.]
[...She might be hopping a little when she moves around instead of putting weight on both feet, but that's normal, right? Perfectly normal.]
no subject
P-penny! [She hurries over, just. She's got her arms out, in case Penny decides to fall? Or something??]
Penny... Oh no, it looks like you're hurt.
no subject
[Well, rushing towards someone who's already a little unbalanced is probably not the best idea. So congrats Rakka, you have a shiny new Penny stumbling and catching herself on your arms. Yay?]
I'm- ...It's not bad. Really! I just came down a little hard.
[Plz to stop be worrying, friend.]
It'll take a lot more than that for me to go to pieces, promise.
no subject
...Are you sure?
[She's worried, and also now she's got a Penny in her arms. She's unsure of what to do, but she's definitely got a careful grip on Penny in case she feels like falling over again.
She's so shiny....]
I really hope so. [mmmm] Can you walk?
no subject
M-Maybe, even if she can...we should just sit here a little while, huh? Until she's feeling better?
no subject
[Guuuuuuuys]
I'll just need to be careful and not put too much weight on it! ...I don't want you guys to miss this place just for this.
[...yeah, someone should probably just make her sit and look at the ankle a little.]
no subject
[Mom Friend Mode: Initiated.]
The interior of the well will be there when we get to it - but you're not going to feel better if you keep stressing out an injury. Please let us look, alright?
no subject
Penny, please just sit down for a moment, okay? [She's also... shaking a bit. Hrrm. Penny is definitely going to feel it.]
I... I fell down a well once, and I know how you could hurt yourself. So, if you'll please let us look at it now...
[Maybe they can help??]
no subject
[Please let Slowpoke not climb ladders, they'll be all slimy and then we'll cause traffic for days just going down there.]
no subject
That makes sense! It would explain all the Slowpoke that you see in town.
no subject
no subject
That too.
Inside
There's also like a buttload of Slowpoke. And it's pretty cool in here too, so small miracles and all that.]
OTA
Maybe make sure she's not left behind if you all go spelunking someways else?]
no subject
Jane! Wait for me!
no subject
[Their PokeSlime is everywhere...]
no subject
[She just kind of... skids right up to Jane. Hello. At least she doesn't fall over.]
...Okay. I will.
no subject
It's pretty slippery in here, huh? I guess all the Slowpoke slime just sort of...becomes part of the place.
no subject
I didn't know slowpokes could get so... smiley.
no subject
It's probably because they don't get much sun down here.
no subject
S-so that means they make a lot of slime? [She doesn't know whether to be shocked or fascinated. Probably both.]
no subject
no subject
Well, do you see anything interesting yet? Like, a crack or something?
no subject
[She looks down at the Slowpoke she's been petting.]
Just a handsome young mister who likes to be gently scratched behind his ears.
no subject
Well, he certainly looks friendly. Does he have a name?
no subject
no subject
It might take a while too.
[is that slowpoke racist? Who knows.]
