Without saying a word, Robert slotted the coin he found into the jukebox. It had been a harrowing adventure to find the coin, so it was only fitting that Robert could use it for a simple pleasure.
"Any requests?" he asked.

The jukebox whirred to life playing a slight country western tune. Sherry had come up to the jukebox now as well and noticed that most of the song choices remained dark but the number 66 was flickering on and off. "I hope you don't mind but I'll try that one."
Pressing the button caused no music to play but the jukebox whirred and clicked open revealing a passage leading down.
Seeing no sign of danger, Vlad entered the room. As for the scythe... well, it was a farming tool. His subjects used it to cut crops, when they managed to grow in Sylvania's corrupted soil. Even with his pride set aside, it simply wasn't a very practical weapon. Seeing as he didn't even know what a jukebox was, it only stood out to him because everyone else seemed to notice it.
Vlad scowled at the both of them like a disappointed father, though he didn't say anything.
The vampire barely had time to marvel at the strange music box before Sherry pressed a button, and a passageway was revealed. "Well, that looks very, very safe, doesn't it, comrades?" With a wry chuckle, Vlad raised his knife once more and began stepping into the passageway, taking point. As with the barn, he did his best to watch for traps or structural failings.

The path seemed to lead down into some sort of tunnel system. It felt a but out of place from the other areas you'd visited as well. Was all of this built under the lake?
Suddenly the group would hear something coming from behind them. A red ball bounced past them and continued down the steps until it was enveloped by the dark and vanished.
Seishin ignored Jack and Chucky as they fought, walking over to the jukebox that both Sherry and Robert were near. With the path opened to them he held his knife at the ready as he followed after Vlad. He'd let Sherry go before him that way she wouldn't be stuck in the back without a weapon if she wished.

Vlad watched the ball bounce down the stairs, tensing noticeably. Unfortunately, it didn't seem he could afford to turn around. "Comrades... is there anything behind us?" The vampire continued to watch in front of them, taking or two slow, careful steps as he spoke. The ball could easily be a diversion, after all. 'Look behind you!'

Sherry turned around to check but there didn't seem to be anyone behind them. "Something is clearly messing with us," She replied moving along down with Vlad.
Soon enough they reached the bottom, they seemed to be in some sort of abandoned station. "Why is something like this under a lake?"
@BarrenThin @Crow @Jeremi @Atomyk @thatguyinthestore @Takumi @York @Sen @Archmage Jeremiah @Tunnel
Vlad nodded in agreement, though he was pretty sure this entire misadventure was the result of something messing with them. Could even be Sherry. "An excellent question, Frau Sherry. I'm not sure I even understand its purpose. It's far too crude to be the work of the Dwarfs, but far too organized to be the work of the Skaven or the Greenskin tribes... and the odd markings, too." The vampire tilted his head at the graffiti before continuing into the room, knife still ready. Something wasn't right here.

"Jesus Christ... another fucking station?" Chucky asked rhetorically with the scythe still slung over his shoulder.
@Jeremi @BarrenThin @Crow @Atomyk @Takumi @Sen @York @Archmage Jeremiah @Bridge
"Another station," Jack utters as she looked around. She looked around for the grafitti on the wall and even signs of the station's name. Not that she'd be able to read them.
"If this is another station, maybe this leads to another town," Jack suggests.
