[Action]

[sundead]

[It's likely only a few people noticed, but about two weeks ago, Ayumu vanished completely from the village, along with all of his belongings. It's clear he went home, and that should have been the end of it.

But today.... Deep in Egypt... Deep in the depths of a pyramid is a treasure room with a fancy sarcophagus. It probably looks the same as most of the other pyramid treasure rooms, but this one is a bit different. If you get close enough, and make some noise.... it starts to shake. Like something is inside.

Any treasure hunters are welcome to investigate.



Later in the day, after that drama has unfolded and the sun has set enough for him to escape Egypt, Ayumu can be found wandering the rest of the village looking for his house. It's a pretty daunting prospect because there aren't any familiar landmarks anywhere. So, he can also be found trying to escape gangsters in Mobland or being chased by dire bears in the ice age (he really has no luck with animals.)]

[Grune isn't a treasure hunter, but she is a curious sightseer. She and Norma have already been in this particular pyramid, but, well, she doesn't remember that.

At first she's caught up in admiring all the pretty pictures on the wall, but then she notices a strange sound. She looks about the room and--]

Hello?

[That nice box is moving. Why is that?]

[sundead]

[It just starts moving even harder, and there are some suspicious sounds like maybe... moaning? Or just muffled shouting...]

[lostinmyway]

[And here is where Grune differs from your average person, in that those petrifying sounds make her walk right over to the sarcophagus and start shoving at the lid. Someone must have fallen inside and gotten stuck...somehow.]

Oh, my. [She raises her voice a little.] Are you all right?

[sundead]

[The muffled sound now sounds something almost like "Grune??" and the sarcophagus shakes so hard it's in danger of falling over. Hopefully Grune can figure out that it's her name being said through all the wood.]

[lostinmyway]

[It's hard to recognize someone's voice through a sarcophagus, and so Grune doesn't pick up yet that she knows the person she's rescuing. She does, however, think she hears her name.

She starts heaving a little harder as the lid begins to slowly slide off....]

Don't worry. You're almost out.

[sundead]

[Hopefully, she's okay with a bandaged mummy falling out of the coffin when it's open. He can't really balance himself like this, and so he's headed directly for Grune...]

[lostinmyway]

[And suddenly Grune has a mummy on her bosom.

Her arms immediately go around him, trapping him there--but carefully. After all, it looks like he had a big accident.]

Oh, my. Are you all right?

[sundead]

[Grune he can't answer because of your bosom. He can't really breathe either, so if this situation doesn't change he might pass out for a while. And then this would get even more awkward.]

[lostinmyway]

[Not hearing anything, Grune still keeps a hold on him, but loosens it somewhat to look down at him.]

Hello?

[She tries an experimental little push with Nala's power.]

[sundead]

[The magic doesn't do much, but it rouses him enough that he manages to figure out which direction the air is in. He pulls himself upright a little and looks up into Grune's face, recognition of the situation starting to dawn.] ....Grune...san?

[....And then he fully realizes where he is and immediately tries to jump away, which doesn't work so well with mummy bandages everywhere.] Uh--- I'm really sorry!

[lostinmyway]

[Oh, hey, she recognizes that voice.

...She also doesn't let go.]

Ayumu?
