"Wouldn't wish it any other way," the grad student said in response to the professor's invitation to climb before her.  Spencer fished inside his satchel for his own flashlight and then followed Jamie down the ladder.  When his feet touched the gritty floor at the bottom, he dragged his spotlight over every surface and every object in the immediate vicinity, lingering on one of several small piles of pornographic materials strewn about the room just long enough for Lea to walk over and tap it with her foot.<br/><br/>"Mmm yes.  They certainly don't make them like they used to..." he replied wistfully.  He didn't often share this openly, but as a passionate student of history there was no era, no subject, no medium too beneath him to study or appreciate, and this included the likes of such culturally significant publications as Playboy, Penthouse, and Hustler.  He'd had his favorites, to be sure.<br/><br/>Spencer kneeled down to rifle through some of the pages, prepared to share some of his knowledge with the good professor, but his attention was wrested away by the unexpected calls of Jamie's voice attempting to pierce the darkness.  It wasn't a name he recognized, the one their guide was speaking, though it clearly bore some significance to their guide.

Are we witnessing a haunting come to life or merely the search for a lost lamb to return her to her flock?"<br/><br/>He wrapped up by replacing the recorder into his satchel, and then, with flashlight in hand, he offered the other to Lea and began to follow Jamie once more.<br/><br/><a class="username" data-user-id="34307" data-username="@Colonel_Liam" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://bluemoonroleplaying.com/community/members/34307/">@Colonel_Liam</a><a class="username" data-user-id="45164" data-username="@InsaynePayne" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://bluemoonroleplaying.com/community/members/45164/">@InsaynePayne</a><a class="username" data-user-id="20459" data-username="@LeaT" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://bluemoonroleplaying.com/community/members/20459/">@LeaT</a>
