Kaji nods in turn to Erika and Ruby, and to Coffret, just to be polite. But he pays close attention to Ib's suggestion. "I'm here, and you're here, and we both know we're here, and yet." Kaji looks around. "Certainly an interesting spot for a dream. Even the ones we've had before have had some method to the madness. So dream or not, we should still find a way out of here."

"It could be like the other dreams, and the more we explore, then we can find our way into someplace new." And maybe then Kaji can have another word with that little girl that he did last time. Give her a piece of his mind.

"You two feel up to moving?" Er, three, technically, but Kaji'll assume that Erika speaks for the rabbit.

[stupid_erika_shenanigans]

"And what if it isn't a dream? But we should get moving anyhow, considering that we're in the middle of what appears to be caves." Said Erika, looking over at Ruby and Coffret.

Coffret nodded. "The moogles aren't here either, so contacting someone would be out of the question, desu."

[just_want_normal_knees]

"Though, if this is happening to us, do you think it's happening to others, too?" Ruby asked, curious...

[her_rose_is_red]

"You mean like when we all went back in time?"

It does seem like crazy things affect heroes in batches. Maybe they're not the only ones in this cave.

[iknowtheconsequences]

"If so, then we aren't going to be alone in these caves for long. We keep walking, we should run into people." Kaji tries to look confident.

Kaji pauses and pats his pockets down. Crystal, lighter, cigarettes Sorry, Ib, bottle cap. No weapons. But, he's not useless.

Kaji holds up a hand. "I'm currently running Scholar and Red Mage. What do you all have?" He catches Ib's eye. "The same as...the other night?" Time Mage and Illusionist might actually be helpful in this situation, since she isn't armed.

[stupid_erika_shenanigans]

"Beastmaster and Chocobo Knight for me. Though I'm out my gear right now. Maybe I can summon a Chocobo, provided something didn't nerf me."

In Erika's line of work, getting nerfed was a rare thing indeed, but she looked over at Ruby. "Ruby, whatcha got?"

[her_rose_is_red]

Ib winces guiltily.

"No... I switched out after... that night."

The dream had scared her, and she hadn't been expecting anything like this to happen. But she probably should have just toughed it out. Now how is she going to be useful?

"I'm using warrior and bard now..."

She'd really just wanted to experiment with bard a little. But she should have brought something more potent. And warrior is useless with no weapon.

[iknowtheconsequences]

Kaji's smile is easy, placating any of Ib's fears. "Hey, Bard is great. It'll make me feel a little better taking the lead for once, anyway. And Warrior means you've got better defense than normal."

Erika, on the other hand, Kaji is going to keep close to. "Can you summon anything here?" Specifically referring to a Beast, but the Chocobo would do just as well. "Never picked up Beastmaster."

[stupid_erika_shenanigans]

Erika tilted her head and then whistled with two fingers in her lips. In an instant, a Chocobo arrived out of nowhere. "Got my Chocobo with me. I haven't tamed anything else though, didn't have time."

[her_rose_is_red]

Ib smiles back weakly. She appreciates the encouragement, but still feels like she messed up. She has a lot of good jobs at her disposal, many of them mastered, and instead she decided to play around with something weaker. But she'll have to make do with what she has. There are at least a couple of songs she knows that could be useful.

And Erika was able to summon her chocobo. That's good. They might be okay if they ran into monsters. But that brings them to their next problem...

"Um... how will we know which way to go? If we pick the wrong way, won't we just keep going deeper into the caves?"
