Final: Orange
Down the Staircase: Backdated to Day Seven
Those who were investigating the sigil or fighting crabs nearby would be aware of the ground rumbling as a spiral staircase opened into the dark sand below.
Of course it is less a staircase at the bottom of the ocean and more a terrifying water helter-skelter downwards through the dark.
But they land in an underground cave. It is dark, and ankle deep in water. In the centre there is a white marble plinth, with a large empty shell on top. The walls of the cave are dark and grimy but with the aid of the torches in their SCA's and some investigating will find a hint of colours underneath the sand and seaweed on the walls.
Between day seven and day ten
The crabs are still attacking. It is not a never ending siege but it pays to be vigilant as every so often crabs arrive to launch an attack on the sleeping citizens. Luckily they don't seem to be able to get into the underground chamber, perhaps being too large or unwilling to enter through the twisting passage.
Inside the cave the water is slowly rising, by day ten of the month of Fiddlesticks it reaches the average voidtrecker's chest.
The plinth is tall, above the voidtreckers' heads and so hasn't been submerged yet.
Assuming they have begun to clear the sand and seaweed off the walls of the cave a picture begins to emerge. Simple drawings, very similar to those on the tablets in the market place.
Day Ten
Light from the sky, an island. People gathered around a fire. Beacon. Symbols are helpfully translated for them. A plinth. No, two plinths with shells on them filled with light.
All very useful. If only they had any way to share their ideas with the others.
Which is when their SCA's glow and a holographic screen appears.
Meanwhile on the train...
By day ten the storm hits with a vengeance. Waves are high, rain falls practically sideways. The train holds out well, staying in place and upright through the battering seas. Going out to dive is nerve wracking and there might be some cases of seasickness in those remaining on the train.
It is all in all not a great sea faring experience.

That reaction had him on the edge. Kaiba would recoil if doing so wouldn't be so painful from this position. Still, he squeezed Yugi's leg as he prepared to sit up, about to push Yugi out and lock himself up for the rest of the night, if not the rest of the mission...
...but Yugi clarified just in time, and the tension immediately left his shoulders. The touch to his hair was strange, but he found himself leaning into it, sighing contentedly. That felt nice.
He smiled up at Yugi, looking happier than he'd ever been.
"She told me it meant something that you were always on my mind. Was it the same for you?"
no subject
He continued to play with the other's hair, which was something he never would have done before.
"If you mean if you were always on my mind... Yes and no... Yes, you were on my mind often, but not something like all day every day. But at the time I figured it was because I was admiring how well you adapted here, the things you were accomplishing among other things..." He paused briefly for a moment.
"But it wasn't until recently that I realized that those thoughts of admiration while still are, had something else underneath. Do you know what I mean or am I just not making sense?"
no subject
"I have people to worry about. A job to do. Mokuba. But...with you, I feel different. And I like that."
He squeezes Yugi's hand. "I think I might get some sleep after all. What about you?"
no subject
"I thought you sleeping was the point of you being in your cabin in the first place." He couldn't help but give a chuckle tab the end. "As for me... I don't know yet. I'm... honestly not sure what I can do at this moment in time."
no subject
"It's a grueling grind, searching for answers down there. Your support kept me going. And next time you'll come back even stronger---you've always been strong, Yugi. I just couldn't see it before. It's easy to throw your weight around when you're CEO of the biggest tech company...but your ability to naturally make connections with people and change their outlook is even more valuable in a time like this."
He sighs and settles peacefully in Yugi's lap. "You'll find your way. And I'll help you get there."
no subject
"I guess I just needed a reminder of that, which considering what I managed to go through, should have made that one obvious, but being in a new setting you kind of forget." He admitted before looking at the other.
"Though I find your ability to be creative when it comes to technology to be valuable. It shows that you can at least think outside the box when it needs to be and that's why it's great that you do go down... I just wished you had slept more." It was why he was planning on at least sticking around while the other slept so that he actually would.
"But hey, we'll help each other when we need to, okay. Like I am helping you sleep by being here and I won't leave until you actually do, even if I have to sit here the whole time."
