Oh tell me about it.

[ Felix makes no attempt to hide how the derision easily slips back into his tone when the other man brings up the fact that they're being forced to just twiddle their thumbs while whatever is happening down there. ]

I really don't know what the hell they're thinking, but it's getting us nowhere fast.

Anyway, there's nothing more I dislike than needless stupidity like this. We've still no guarantee that anything is actually being done as it should, and I'm inclined to think that it isn't.

Eventually, something is going to give. Either they will conjure up whatever is left of their brains and put their heads together to get out of the way so we can take a closer look or someone else will continue to take advantage of the situation.

[ He pauses for a second, coming back to past his annoyance about the tunnels being closed off since something new was mentioned. ]

...Wait, machine?

[demonrebel]

Hold on. [He pauses briefly once he realizes Felix doesn't know about the machine. It seems only a handful of people knew about it. That's interesting.] You don't know about the generator below ground?

[He falls silent for a few minutes before eventually spilling the beans. While Dante doesn't really know how that machine worked, he certainly knows it did judging from the outcome.]

There was a subterranean generator below this very spot where the manhole lies but no one knew what it was. I saw it for myself when Aerith and I went exploring but only for a split second before the kappa found us.

[This all happened before the Night Parade, of course. Neither of them knew that this alleged generator would play such a big roll in this incident.]

That's where the mist came from.

[littleshield]

[ Felix is unfamiliar with most of the more advanced technology here, though he's familiarizing himself with more terms as they come at him. Or wherever he can, for that matter.

But he thinks this 'subterranean generator' thing is definitely something beyond his knowledge for certain. ]

'Subterranean generator'?

I'd never heard of anything like that before.

[ Though the fact that the kappa steered them away from there says a lot, honestly. ]

Good to know. I'm not sure what something like that is supposed to do normally, but I think I can figure out easily that it wasn't supposed to spread all that mist like that. And depending on how long this nonsense goes on, we'll need to start considering if there's going to be a way around them keeping others out.

[demonrebel]

[It's at this moment that it dawns on Dante that Felix hails from a world devoid of such technology. This is something he should've noticed sooner about the guy but it's been one incident after the other. All of it just slipped his notice until now. No wonder Felix seems a little old-fashioned.]

Really? [Judging from his incredulous stare, Dante is a little surprised.] Wait a minute, are you from the medieval times or something like that?

[Hell, does Felix even know what the word "medieval" means? Probably not since Felix is from a different world entirely but that's besides the point.]

On the contrary, that's exactly what that generator was supposed to do given the outcome. Someone planted it there and it wasn't the Kappas, I guess. [That's a major assumption on his part since Dante isn't even sure if the kappas knew what the generator was.] That device most likely belonged to the assassins but I have no idea when or how they managed to fit that device down there.

[He needs to do some snooping around below before he an give an estimate.]
