As I'm sure some of you have already noticed, Caliban's location changed last night. Given recent events, I'm left to wonder if that's all that's changed about our infamous "dungeon". I'm planning on making another excursion into Caliban's depths, but for that I'll need people.

Anyone who's interested should reply with an idea of what sort of role they would fill in an exploratory group. I'm not necessarily looking strictly for combat oriented people. Healers will also be necessary if we're to last a significant amount of time in there and people with abilities geared toward information gathering, while not a requirement, would still provide a distinct advantage. The only real requirement is that you not be dead weight. I'll make sure that people with non-combat roles are protected, but this isn't a training expedition. Don't expect me to give special treatment if you can't pull your own weight.

Depending on how fast recruitment and preparation goes, I'd like to get this over with some time within the next two weeks. The exact date will depend on all of you.

Hmph, show too much concern and I might start to wonder if you're trying to make friends.

Of course not, that would give you a heart attack.

Or at the very least wonder if you'd suffered some sort of brain damage.

You know, from the way you're carrying on about it, it's almost as if you want me to try and make friends.

Please, as if I would lower myself to that level. Personally, I think it might be an improvement if you lost a few brain cells, as long as you kept your drooling idiocy away from me.

Ouch, I'm hurt Margulis. Truly and deeply hurt.

You should watch your words. If I hadn't already agreed to a truce, I might have taken that as an invitation.

No you wouldn't have. You're not that impulsive. [Or has he over estimated you]

A man can dream, regardless. But since it's a moot point anyway, you shouldn't have a problem providing me with information on any skills of yours relevant to this trip that you've picked up since the last time we shared a battlefield.

[You dream? Secretly he thought you were a pod person who didn't sleep. Guess one learns something new every day.]

Picked up a pierce attack that sometimes makes the enemy attack it's mates. Other then that, it's the same things I had the last time we went to Caliban.

*He probably sleeps more than you, Kukai. Which doesn't mean he always sleeps enough, but you try getting a good night's sleep when you have to worry about what Albedo and Richard are getting up to.*

...I have to admit, that should come in handy.

Indeed. Spur of the moment allies can turn the tide of battle.

And even a temporary reduction in the number of enemies can make the difference.

That they can. The extra damage done doesn't hurt either.

As much as it pains me to admit it, your abilities will be useful to have along.

[He pauses for a moment, actually figuring out a tactful thing to say.] I guess I should tell you to take comfort in the fact that I feel the same way about yours.

*He has to bite down on a snide remark of his own, since, well, Gaignun is trying to be polite here and it would be bad form to respond with antagonism.*

If you know of anyone else that might be of use who wouldn't jump into this sort of thing on their own, I would... *Ugh, saying this to him is such a pain. Does he have to be polite here? Sigh.* appreciate it if you made an attempt to convince them it's a worthwhile use of their time.

[Being polite is painful.]

Alright. I'll see who I can rustle up.
