[ She will fish her phone out from a pocket! And once she sees the algae on the wall a little more clearly, she approaches to examine it despite how you'd expect the smell would be a clear "this is a bad idea" sign, and by that I mean she just outright touches it with her gloved hands. ]
[ And all of a sudden she recoils and hurried steps back from the algae on the wall, with a very rare expression on her face (on the account that really, it's normally not very expressive at all). ]

The wall is bad.

[And there she goes... Needless to say, her reaction startles Arven just as much as the algae startled her.]
Wh-What happened?? What did it do?

[ obviously. but then joshua pauses. ]
How bad is bad?
no subject
[ Which doesn't sound too bad, except: ]
Even though I cannot feel hungry at all.
[ It's something that's held true even here, so suddenly feeling it after touching the algae is alarming to her, to say the least. ]

[ he looks around, frowning slightly when he realizes how much algae is around the walls. ]
It’ll be for the best to go up without touching the walls then. How do you feel now?
no subject
The feeling is gone now, but I do not know what would happen if any of us ended up touching it for longer than a brief moment.
no subject
I agree. We’ll have to be careful with our hands and legs as we go up.
[ he pauses, looking around at the empty tents. ]
I wonder if that’s why everything is empty. Could it be something made from this person’s memory?

[That's weird. Almost as weird as the hunger-inducing algae.]
Well, at least it stopped when you took your hand off, right?
no subject
It did, but...
[ ...There's a thought forming, give her a moment. ]
...If it can grow on the walls, can it grow on the floor?
no subject
Probably... [Arven instinctively looks down.] Whoever's leading the group should keep their light aimed at the floor, just in case.
no subject
Alright. It seems there is only one way up regardless.
