"Let him wheeze to death or something, I don't care." Dion turned his face to the other side.

"I think we're dealing with moral issues here," Raez tells Rai.
Wiley feigns a hurt expression, though Dion might not be able to see it.
Offline
He's still turned.
Offline
That might or might not be the reason, but in any case, Wiley just collapses on top of Raez, or kind of. It seems he caught himself, kind of, but Raez still staggers a bit. But then Wiley can't catch himself and just falls on Raez, who nearly falls over and drops Dion, who he's been carrying like a burlap sack.

Dion screamed.
Offline
Wiley screams louder to establish dominance, though it's more like a "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa."
"My ears," Raez exclaims, possibly contemplating dropping Dion if he screams again and kicking Wiley backwards under the same fulfilled conditions.
Rai has turned around to regard the situation.
Offline
Wiley's scream actually quieted Dion, probably startling him or something. Anyways, the result is that he clung tighter to Raez.
Offline
"How coincidental. We're here," Rai remarks. His hair color is back to black and so is his eye color back to its usual light brown.
"We are," Wiley confirms, standing up like nothing happened.
Offline
"So can I, like, get down now?" Dion immediately loosened his hold on Raez.
Offline
"Sure thing," Raez says.
"He can't though," Wiley points out. "You're too tall. He'll have to jump down."
"The difference isn't that great."
Offline
"What do you have against my height? Stop pointing it out!"
Offline
"Short," Wiley exclaims in a sing-song voice.
Offline
Dion's full face reddened like a strawberry. "Y-you-- you!"
Offline
"Mee," Wiley says as he leans closer to Dion with a very smug smirk, knowing Dion can't slap him unless he falls off of Raez.
"Are we heading in, or are we taking a temporary break?" Rai asks, crossing his arms.
Offline
Powerless in that position, Dion just bared his teeth.
Offline
Wiley leans back before Dion can remember it's possible to bite off his nose at that distance.
Raez, seeing as Dion isn't getting off, just says to Rai, "Let's just go in. If there's anything in there, can't be worse."
"Alright." Rai smirks. "Let's go in then."
Immediately it sounds as if something is shifting, perhaps something under the ground.
Offline
Honestly Dion had forgotten about getting off with the little confrontation he just had. The sound was enough for him to stay in his current position now.
Offline
"You set this up, awfully advanced," Rai remarks as the ground underneath them starts to cave in.
"Right?" Wiley agrees, though his voice is barely louder than the caving sounds.
Offline
"What kind of entrance is this???" Complaining voice, yep.
Offline
"A suitable one for an awesome group," Wiley proclaims as the sounds get louder.
Rai seems to make sure his headphones are over his ears.
Even though Raez likes drama and theatre, it's unknown if he approves of this or not, but he sure seems very chill.
Offline
Dion just kind of winced slightly, since turning off his hearing could be complicated later. He's panicking inside.
Offline
It's becoming abnormally bright, blindingly so, in fact.
Offline
Dion squinted at first but then closed his eyes.
Offline
A moment later, it feels like they're traveling downwards.
"Is it over?" Rai asks.
Raez nods, not that Rai can hear that. And it's also extremely dark now.
Offline
Dion gingerly half-opened one eye.
Offline
Maybe Dion can see a bit. Dunno.
Raez looks in the dark like he's looking for something he lost.
"How long until the bottom?" asks Rai.
Wiley shrugs. Unhelpful in such a dark place.
Offline
"Is this a lift? Are all your labs underground?"
Offline
"Nope," Wiley answers. He adds, "Confidential."
"Yeah," Raez chimes in. Finally. "Don't tell anyone about his labs or he'll have your..." He doesn't seem to excel in making up threats.
"...bodily fluids, internal organs, et cetera," Wiley finishes.
Raez makes a face in the dark. "I was going to say something like candy or next meal, but okay."
Offline
They probably couldn't see the horrified look on Dion's face either. He stayed silent.
Offline
Raez has dad instincts. "You're scaring the child."
"What child??" Wiley asks.
If Raez were to finish the reference he'd go, "Me. I'm the child," but he doesn't. He just says, "You know which child."
"I'm completely fine and unscared," Wiley huffs.
