[USEC_OFFICER]

Hilda has flown to Germany, and knocks on a certain person's door.

Hilda would have had an easy time finding said house, for its design contrasts with the rest of the neighbourhood. It's low and squat, with a boxy, modern design that differs wildly from the more traditional architecture of the surrounding homes. A sign on the front law proudly proclaims that this is the place to purchase fine pottery and magical potions. In german, of course, for the house is in Germany of course.

The certain person that answers the door several moments after Hilda knocks is Neferis, looking the same as usual. Not that she really has a choice in the matter, for she is a type of golem after all.  She gives Hilda a little demure smile and gestures her to come inside. _{"Hello. It's been too long. Please come in. Can I get you anything?"} The inside of Neferis's house is surprisingly spacious and clean, and almost professionally decorated with plenty of beautiful pots and decorative work artistically placed in various alcoves or displayed proudly inside cabinets. A few of the walls even seem to be tiled with granite and other expensive and colourful stones, providing a good dose of colour and vibrancy to an otherwise subdued house. Most of the furniture is squat and bulky, to support the weight of the golems sitting on them, but several chairs are tall and elegant and obviously meant for guests. Before Hilda can say anything or protest, Neferis hurries her into one of these chairs and sits on a couch opposite so that they can talk properly.

As the golem sits down, a fat black cat lazily wanders into the room and mews loudly, causing Neferis to immediately get up and gently carrying it back to the couch, so that it can rest on her lap and have its head scratched as the two talk. Given the amount of cat hair that liberally covers the floor, it isn't the only cat in the house.

"They probably went inside."

Dalia sighs, "I hope so... They could have gone anywhere, honestly."

Welcome to...
THE DUNGEON

[I] Icarus [54] [26]
[I] Isaac [45] [40]

Exploration Theme

As they open the door, they find themselves in a dark and eerie room with several corridors on each wall. The air is humid and a pugnant stench permeate the air as moss lines the stone brick walls. The floor is a smooth stone finely carved, but somewhat cracked from something rolling over it.

 "Good luck," The King says with a nod before closing the door and leaving with Del.

((Exploration is turn-based.))
Hilda smiles at Neferis and sits down.
 "Salutations. It indeed has been a long time since we last saw each other, Neferis - how are you?"

[USEC_OFFICER]

_{"I'm good. We're married now,"} Neferis replies, shyly ducking her head. But not quick enough to hide her wide and happy smile. Neferis is, of course, referring to Bismuth, the other golem living in the house. Neferis also answers the obvious question next, _{"She's out now. Getting supplies. How are you?"}

[PrivateNomad]

Hilda twirls a strand of her long grey hair. Her smile dims a bit.
 "I'm alright... if a bit worried."
((rip Twi))

[USEC_OFFICER]

Neferis's smile vanishes, and she looks up at Hilda and asks quietly, _{"About what?"}

((RIP Twi? Huh?))

[Twi]

(s-shut up , b-baka)

[PrivateNomad]

((*glomps twi*))
 "Have you noticed anything.. off? Mysterious void signatures, shifts in magic fluctuations, anything?"

[USEC_OFFICER]

Neferis thinks for a couple moments, looking down at her lap and the cat curled up on it. Eventually she mumbles in agreement, _{"Why? What's going on?"}

[PrivateNomad]

 "You haven't seen the news? We destroyed a powerful void-god, and there are 11 left. Alucard accidentally let them into creation, for whatever reason..."

[USEC_OFFICER]

Neferis nods slowly to urge Hilda to continue, her eyes never leaving feet as she speaks.

[PrivateNomad]

 "Well... one of these sultanes is the one who created me. And I know that eventually, some day, I am going to have to fight her."

[USEC_OFFICER]

_{"Oh. What will you do? Is that why you're here?"}

[PrivateNomad]

 "I'm just... really worried, and I needed someone to talk to."

[USEC_OFFICER]

_"Oh." Neferis is silent for a moment and then asks, _{"Why me? What about everyone else?"}

[Akroma]

((Awww yiss, Neferis coming back!))

"Wait for a moment."

Icarus moves 2 to the left and 2 downward left diagonaly, then proceeds to produce a couple insanely loud beeps, thankfully outside out of Isaacs hearing range. She uses echolocation to map the dungeon ahead!
