[The entry leads to the large, open marketplace of the Hidden City. The loud noise of conversation, work, and trade fill the air around despite there not being anyone to see. The colorful stalls all want to try and sell them on something - pictures, weapons, enchanted spell pages. Whatever anyone could want in the Hidden City and its mysticism, they can find it here. though it may not always be what they think. As they go down through the stalls, there are various sewer manhole covers that look more like New York than the youkai world. But eventually as they walk, the stalls become closer, giving the world a more claustrophobic feel until it's hard to move unless they turn around and go back. Worse still is the same pink and black-green goop stretching across the stalls' fabric roofs, along the ground. Eyes watching the further they go.]
Okay, Raph. What do you got? What do we know? [ He figures he's probably missing something, somewhere, that's supposed to be a sign or a boost or a part of some play Leo thinks could help with all this. Some connection he can't see. He's always been more of a blunt instrument guy.
Leo, though, Leo's sharp. He asked for help. He knew they'd be coming to get him. Wherever he is in here, whatever's happening, he'll be trying from his end. Raph trusts that.
And yet. ]
So far? Nothin'. I'll let you have one free pass to make fun of your dumb-dumb big bro for not gettin' the hint, Leo.
[ He'll talk to himself and to Leo, it's fine and normal.
Can these sewer manhole covers be pulled up, or are they here for the aesthetic™️? ]
[ Hmm. There are two schools of thought. On the one hand, since getting here he has specifically said words about not peeling off or going all solo mission out of reach, and he's testing those waters by having come this far in the first place. And heck, maybe a thought or two in the mix like, should he try to investigate more stuff?
On the other hand: fuck it we ball. And that hand is way easier to parse.
Raph's gonna climb down that ladder. He's committing. ]
