"We're feeling nothing. Nada. Zip. Just pity for whoever has to fill out the paperwork for this." The girl turns to Theta.
"Well, shouldn't you at least go to the whole ghost prisoner wrangling thing? I mean that would probably be a good thing to learn about or something."

"...are there even any left? I'm not sure if anything could possibly escape from this." Theta continues to look down. "Besides, I need to find a higher rank to practice with. I'm still a student after all."

"You're right, I guess."
The girl steps a little closer, almost dangerously on the edge. Then again, she's not really alive. It isnt really that dangerous.

Theta gets an alert from his laptop. He checks it and it's a message from eternalFugitive. A request to check the registry... Seems like something within his abilities. He puts the laptop away and pulls out his tome, checking to see what recent entries may have appeared.
Meanwhile, a blue rooster comes walking up to the three of them from behind. It's Cojiro. He is very much stressed out from the huge crowd around here. Cojiro makes a loud noise and ruffles his feathers wildly!
Theta almost drops his tome from the startle, but manages to keep a firm grip on it.

Medi panics and stumbles forward, instinctively trying to flee from whatever is making the loud noise.
Unfortunately, she goes too close to the edge and loses balance. The girl beside her notices that enough to try to grab her by the arm...But Medi's weight is too much for her to handle so suddenly.
They both fall.
...Well, at least they're not alive...?

Theta gasps, Medi and her friend are in trouble! With quick thinking, he hops on top of his tome and uses it like a makeshift snowboard down the steep crater! "whoaaaaaaaa!" down and down they go, deeper into the accursed crater, kicking up dust all the way through. Theta uncaptchas his fishing pole and tries to reel Medi closer. But, because she is much heavier than he can pull, Theta winds up getting closer to her, rather than the other way around. Despite this, he keeps reeling in closer.

The whole reeling thing would have been a little easier if the girl wasn't also the same weight as Medi, despite the fact that she's just an figment.
Obscenities are being thrown out by said girl as they roll down, leaving a trail of dull colored poppies and spider lilies in their wake, in an attempt to slow them down or cushion them.

Theta attempts to steer away from the incoming path of flowers. Because of his connection with the fishing rod though, this proves to be difficult, with his pushes often only lasting short moments, gravitating him back towards the middle. The few flowers ran over by Theta and his tome wilt instantly, leaving streaks where his path crosses hers.
Eventually though, they reach the bottom and manage to slow down. Theta steps off his tome and picks it back up. It appears the front cover has gained a floral design upon it. He's so glad important books like this have magical protection from most damage. He puts it away for now. Theta is still somewhat dazed from the ride, but still tries to make his way over to Medi and her friend to retrieve the end of his fishing line. Thankfully, the guided nature of such a pursuit helps him get there without falling over. Theta manages to walk close enough to unhook Medi. He puts the fishing rod away.
"If I weren't so worried about you, this might have been fun... are you at least kinda okay there, relatively speaking?"
It seems the entire city is staring at them from above, along the edge of the crater. Theta is too focused on Medi to pay them any mind.
Nearby however, an odd chunk of graffiti'd concrete on the ground appears to be strangely intact...

Medi just lies there, not speaking. Her friend, however, gets up groaning.
"Ugh...We're okay...We've gone through...worse, I guess. But whatever scared us into falling down a pit is going to get a beating of a lifetime when we get back up there." She looks around, a little unsettled by how deep the pit was...Until she notices the weird surviving piece of the prison, she guesses.
"What the hell is that...? How did it not get obliterated along with the rest of the place?"

"I don't know..." Theta walks over to it to examine it.
Upon the ground is a chunk of concrete, about 30 inches wide and 19 inches tall, and about 4 or 5 inches thick. There are some letters stained into the concrete, traces of past dripping. It has three words upon it, written in all caps, and one of the letters curiously styled. The O to be exact. The inscription reads as such: "SUNSPΘT WILL DIE".
Theta looks down at it. "...sunspot? Why does that sound vaguely familiar?" He pulls out his copy of Thoren's diary and flips to a splotched page. "...just what I thought..."

"That does sound incredibly familiar. Who is that?"
The girl picks up Medi, glancing at the chunk of wall before turning back towards Theta.
"Kinda feeling like this is some kinda clue or something. Kinda like how people write their killer's name in blood in some things. Cliché, but it seems like it fits."

Theta flips through the pages, stopping momentarily on some of the stained ones. "If I'm reading into this correctly, 'the sunspot' is a very important figure that has done great harm to him in the past... important to the point of being rendered practically invincible by virtue of paradox armor... meaning this important person was apart of a very important timeloop... this slab has a statement of utmost certainty, likely either him trying to wish death upon this person through sheer will, or more likely, a reminder of something inevitable that will happen to his enemy to make him feel better... let me check something online." He pulls out his laptop and searches for "sunspot" on the message board. He finds only one post mentioning it. I winds up being this one: letssosl.boards.net/post/1510/threadWith a little bit of scrolling up, it's clear who "Sunspot" is, or was rather. "...It was Micha. Micha doublekilled Chronos. And, I'm not sure how to feel about that..."

"Ah, right...I remember now. I remember Zwei going on a rampage on how awful that girl was. She was the only one that managed to do any damage to her while she had a body..."
The girl flips her hair.
"Well, that answers my question...Now, can we fly out of here or do we have to climb out?"

Theta looks around, it seems the crater is steep from all sides. "um..." He then realizes that pretty much all of necropolis is staring down at them. The embarrassment causes him to put up his hood to obscure his face. Theta then proceeds to lay on the ground. "just bury me right here... I'm too dead for this."

"Well...I'll grab a shovel."
It's not certain if the girl is joking or if she's actually being serious.
