Holly wanted to desperately say that the sound was coming from the cave or just the beach in this area in general. Could she say that, though? No. She didn't have heightened hearing like Briar and she was working on pure instinct. The whole night had about listening to what her gut had to say. All of it felt very ominous and foreboding, the blackness of the cave yawning before them only emphasizing it. "Briar, I'm amazed. You will dirty your hands with picking up rocks," Holly teased half-heartedly, her blue eyes taking in the sight of the newly-freed cave. She tried to keep the mood light, but with the green glow of the moon and a shiver running down her back, it was hard to keep her mind from dawdling back to the creepier aspects of that night. Even with the little light of the night, there wasn't anyway for them to see little past the opening. Despite that, Holly poked her head in and took a step inside gingerly. "It might be better to explore this during the day. I can't see a thing. Maybe it's somewhere else?" She spoke aloud, letting her thoughts more known to the other two. ★ briar is more of a pest than a plant c:0

"Oh, please. You say that as if I don't handle rocks every day." Briar rolled her eyes at the comment, placing on hand on her hip as the other twirled her umbrella nonchalantly. She shook her head, causing the wind of the storm to thread through her hair, causing it to blow in the breeze. "Even if it did, I can wash and add plenty of lotion to them later."Bringing her attention back to the small cave, her eyes narrowed. Concentrating, she focused on the rhythm of the sound. Her ears twitched, a frustrated sigh leaving her. "The walls are making the sound resonate more loudly, but I can't say for certain if it's coming from here or not."★ holly, adell

"Calluses, Briar. Embrace the calluses," Holly held up her free hand and wiggled her fingers in the air, though she kept her gaze straight ahead. If the cave wasn't completely coated in water, she probably could have sensed her way through the wave with the bottom of it. As it were, taking a few steps forward could warrant a collision to her head by low-hanging stalactite or an easy slip of the foot and a good whack to the back of her head. ... Why did both of these situations end with her hitting her head? Taking her place once again beside Briar and Adell, she grimaced. "I don't want to risk it in the dark. If we had some light, I would feel a bit more comfortable. But, for all we know, a crevice could have opened in there and we could easily fall in. That's the most extreme, but, maybe we should explore around the cave? Maybe the sound is escaping in more than one location?" If it was even there. ★ quickly! quickly!

"I go through great pains to avoid those, thank you very much." Briar's tone was clipped as she spoke, a huff escaping her lips. Pushing her hair back out of the way, she gave it a flick. Even so, a slight smirk still pulled on the edge of her lips. "Maybe the one working on calluses should be you, especially if you want to keep you boy toy's attention. There's nothing worse than a girl with rough hands."That was one of her favorite routines aside from shopping or hanging out with their group of friends. A bath with rose oil, lotion added afterwards to keep up soft and smooth skin, and herbal shampoos to keep her hair in top condition. Even with her working with stones, gems, and seashells, she could safely say she had nothing to worry about. "Around is just fine. There shouldn't be far to look as it's not that big of a cave anyway." Nodding her assent, she began walking toward the left. Even as she did, it was still easy enough to still hear Holly. "Just say if you see anything, alright?"★ holly, adell

While payback was to be expected, it wasn't in that way that she had been ready for. She thanked everything holy in the world for it being dark as a harsh red hue took hold of the pigment in her cheeks at Briar's words. No, they didn't need to bring Wynter into this! Gah! And he wasn't her boy toy! That was a horrible way to think about him! "Wh-What does that have to do with anything?! And my hands are smooth as can be, so just... gah!" Holly threw her hands up in the air while she took the opposite direction of Briar. She knew her friend was just getting her back, but there was no need to bring her... Well, wait, what was Wynter to her, anyway?-- This wasn't something to be thinking of at the moment! After minutes of silence from her traveling partners and an inability to find anything of value, Holly clambered back down by the cave entrance. She wondered if something was truly coming from in there or if it was just a mere coincidence that it seemed stronger there. It could have worked in waves, just like the ocean. Or they could be imagining things. "I can't find anything."★ quickly! quickly!

The reaction had been exactly what she had expected it to be. There was no real secret of the attraction between Holly and Wynter, and everyone seemed to notice it except for the two involved themselves. If they continued to dance around one another, perhaps matters would need to be considered and taken into her own hands. For now, Briar searched along the outer wall of the cave. the tips of her fingers ran atop over a crevice, causing her to halt her movements. Stepping towards in, she knelt, her tail tucking into her coat to avoid being dragged on the ground. The crack was examined, ears focusing on the sound in hopes to hear if it come from that spot. "Mm..." Would they really find anything, or had they come all that way in the rain for nothing? If anything, some interesting things had happened with them there. ★ holly, adell

R E V E L A T I O N A Mysterious Melody Shortly after midnight, the noise begins to fade away. The air feels heavy with magic and the storm continues to brew until the moon sets for the night.
Something strange can be found on the street. A book that should not be there, radiating with strange energy of its own. Most of the pages are blank. A piece of paper falls out of the book. There are six lines written on it and the parchment is old, nearly crumbling. Only one line can be read.
There she shines so bright and true
