<Snowshoe> Alex grabs the edge of the pool and lifts himself out. Assuming the air-checker thing is in fact built into the suit, he checks it.
<AgentFlowers> Lily pulls herself out of the pool.
<Pres> Yep! But once you're all out, he walks over to a pillar and, with some effort, throws a giant brass lever.
<Alivi> Eriko gets out of the pool as well.
<tretter> Ross follows them out of the pool.
<Tehpillowstar> Chloe flinches as the guy pulls the level. She senses that their arrival was not unexpected.
<Pres> Instantly, the water reverts to a stone basin, clear and about three feet deep.
<Pres> Alex, double green light. That means you can take your helmet off.
<Snowshoe> <<Air's good.>>
<Tehpillowstar> <<Air's safe?>>
<Tehpillowstar> redact
<AgentFlowers> <<Did he just screw up our exit? What a dink.>>
<Tehpillowstar> Chloe pulls her helmet off and shakes her hair loose.
<Snowshoe> <<Life insurance was pretty shitty anyways>>
<Tehpillowstar> She pulls off her flippers.
<TheRaven> Taggart takes off the dry suit and takes his gear out of the bag, putting on his chest rig again.
<Snowshoe> Alex de and re-gears, assuming nothing assaults him.
<Tehpillowstar> She then takes off the dry suit and takes out the gear in the bag and puts it back on again, along with her jacket.

<Tehpillowstar> is toga-guy still there?
<AgentFlowers> Lily pulls her helmet off and gears up. She looks over at toga bro. "Uh...Excuse me?"
<Pres> "And without even a single malfunction! That fool Apollodorius claimed any power fluctuations could rip the very universe asunder, too! Hah!"
*** Alivi [~Alivi@synIRC-1D66023C.int.bellsouth.net] has quit [Ping timeout]
*** Alivi_ is now known as Alivi
<tretter> Ross desuits and gears up.
<Pres> He appears not to be paying attention.
*** Wogglebug [Woggle@Woggleberg.Wogglestein.Woggleania] has quit [Ping timeout]
<Alivi> Eriko takes off her helmet and gears up as well.
<Tehpillowstar> "Hello?"
<AgentFlowers> "Hey, uh, broheim?"
<Snowshoe> Alex heaves his medical gear onto his back and waits to see what happens.
<Gara> Helen takes off her helmet.
<Gara> Loren.
<Tehpillowstar> Chloe gauges the man's reaction.
<Pres> The little man looks over to you. "Oh, goodness, where are my manners! Maximilius Quadrature, Philosopher of Celestial Mechanics, at your service!" He proffers his hand to Lily.

<Alivi> Eriko smiles.
<Alivi> She follows Lily.
<Tehpillowstar> She doesn't relax, but is assured by the man's amiable reaction.
<Gara> ~Atleast he speaks, or appears, to speak english.~ Loren walks closer to Lily.
<Tehpillowstar> Chloe glances at Loren.
<tretter> Ross is flicking his cube nervously.
<Tehpillowstar> She hopes that Loren will be their speaker. She's better at words and being diplomatic and all.
<TheRaven> Taggart is just getting his equipment together and watching.
<AgentFlowers> "Lily MacDonald." She shakes his hand.
<Alivi> Eriko just watches.
<Snowshoe> Alex is not at all reassured. Friendly people don't bar the exits to their homes.
*** Wogglebug [Woggle@Woggleberg.Wogglestein.Woggleania] has joined #redpool
<Pres> "I trust your journey was not overly taxing, friends?"
<Alivi> She touches the ring on her finger. Hoping it helps her relax.
<Tehpillowstar> "...You were expecting us?"
<Gara> "Not at all, not at all." Loren smiles.
<tretter> "Wait, what?"
<AgentFlowers> "Not too bad. I take it you were looking for us?"
<Wogglebug> Arthur just sort of stands there, summat dazed.
