2 Fathoms

[Hey there Para.  It's day two, and Delta here seems to be well enough to walk around again!  So here's a massive man in a deep-sea diving suit trundle-stomping around the first floor and probably making some low whale-y sounds to himself.  He's being very thorough with his exploration of the castle, or has a whole lot of time on his hands!  Slow and steady~  Why not say hello?]

[Of course, the Damian thing to do is to drop off a landing, ninja-style, and creep up on the potentially lethal dude.]

STILL in that stupid costume? You could give Steph a run for her money for impracticality.

[No need to rush or panic. He didn't try anything stupid.]

[Such unwarranted hostility! Granted, he'd rather not waste the effort of speaking, but isn't going to just stand there.]

. . .Still in that stupid costume?

[heirdom]

Yeah.

[he circles the diver, suspiciously]

You're not exactly in a place where you need that suit.

[johnny-topside.livejournal.com]

So sure?

[Definitely not bothering to watch as he paces around.]

[heirdom]

Positive.

[Damian reaches to touch his suit.]

[Delta won't do anything to stop him. He isn't mad, and doesn't think ill of the boy. He's got a pretty high tolerance for people like this, depending on whether or not certain buttons are pressed. That's probably why he's making the effort to talk more.]

Who says I don't?

[heirdom]

Me.

[he inspects the panels on the suit and the joints]

[Everything is sealed up nice n' tight! He can walk on the sea floor about 6 miles down, as a matter of trivia, so this is a very well put-together suit, though it's obviously seen some action of a kind that doesn't exactly involve examining sea critters.]

Such a sharp kid, surely knows to think past the surface?

[heirdom]

[Oh, he can put that together very easily. Damian has a good head for mechanics.]

Obviously. But this place has a pattern. I've been reading about it –– it's boring, but it'll probably be worth it. There are always signs before something bad happens.

[johnny-topside.livejournal.com]

Am I supposed to be a sign of something bad, then?

[Suddenly, one of his legs feels about 80 lbs heavier. A certain redhead is catching a ride.]

[johnny-topside.livejournal.com]

[Bwuh! He stops walking as soon as he notices (which takes a few steps), and looks down, practically growling at the g-...irl?]

[jammin-with-ed.livejournal.com]

[looks up when he stops and grins from ear to ear]

Clunky suit!!!

[johnny-topside.livejournal.com]

[A threat? I think not. He reaches down and, quite gently, lifts Ed up, setting his newfound traveling companion on his back. A bar runs across the back of his tanks, perfect for perching on.]

[heirdom]

Not necessarily. Just suspicious that you'd lumber around in this thing.

[he rounds the back and taps the tanks with his knuckles.]

What's in there?

[johnny-topside.livejournal.com]

[He'd chuckle if he could. 'kid completely missed it.]

[The clear tanks are definitely full, both a red and blue liquid, respectively, sit within each, and run through tubes at their bottoms into the suit. The solid ones may or may not have something in them.]

Nothing you need to concern yourself with.

[heirdom]

[Which clearly means Damian needs some to figure out what it is.]

Oh yeah?

[johnny-topside.livejournal.com]

[Y'ain't gettin' any unless you tear that tube out of the tank or bust it open somehow. He turns to face the boy.]

That's right.

[jammin-with-ed.livejournal.com]

Wha? [Is confused for a second when she's suddenly lifted in the air. When she's seated on the bar she cheers and claps her hands]

A seat just for Edward!

[johnny-topside.livejournal.com]

[Rumbles to himself before moving on along the corridor.]

[jammin-with-ed.livejournal.com]

[leans forward, resting her elbows on the helmet, and her head on her hands, looking around]

Are you new here? Edward's still learning about Disa-Disa.

[johnny-topside.livejournal.com]

[Does something like a nod, and a low rumbling gives his positive reply.]

[jammin-with-ed.livejournal.com]

Would you like Ed to tell you about Disa-Disa? At least, what Ed's been able to find out...

[heirdom]

Sounds like you're hiding something.

[johnny-topside.livejournal.com]

[He's a pretty boring guy. Have another nod as he takes both for a steady ride along the halls~]
