[PT-PP-F8] Homicide Honeymoon Pt. 3 (SoW: Leeching Nightmare)

[Mari 1]

After a blissful reprise where Mari had managed to fall asleep, enjoying a small nap the two made the long walk up to the 10th floor. Hand in hand, talking about their plans for dinner, the absolute ridiculous manner of the quest-line, their distaste for stairs. Mari was used to such things; Lancaster, not so much - his separation from the Laughing Coffin still proving difficult for him. "Yanno...." Mari said, pausing before they moved to the next floor. "If you need, I'll fund you so you can create more of those...." She'd roll her hand, "transportation methods." He already knew of her own - but that was beyond costly, and used only in dire circumstances. Mari needed to remain tight lipped about it till she had a chance to talk to Raidou. She fell silent, tallying in her head how much more she'd need to fight to fund that. Several days maybe? That should be enough time to allow her to create the funds for a network for the man to use. Separate from the hand. She squeezed his hand tighter, inwardly apologizing, after this she'd just need to work a little bit harder... a little bit longer. Just a little longer...

"This floor...can have such a negative effect on your mental competence." Mari warned as she pushed the door to the 10th floor open. Mari flicked open her HUD, reading the notes of the floor aloud - "An oppressive malaise that can quickly sour into full blown depression.  Some reports suggest that prolonged exposure can lead to dementia, or even outright insanity and the negative thoughts and emotions that pervade the entire floor relentlessly assault the minds and convictions of those who come to visit."  She'd close her HUD and turn to Lancaster. "Yanno, this wasn't always apparent - maybe thats why I went..." She'd pause to point to her head, spinning a finger round and round - signalling how crazy she had been in her past. "Not the entirety of course. But it wouldn't help."

Mari would step closer to him, wrapping an arm around his waist, leaning in to lean her head on his shoulder. "Welcome to the place I spent most of my life ." She'd gesture to the grim expanse. "Want the tour whilst we try to find this next creature?" Mari asked, handing him the etching so he could look over it.
