dungeons deep and caverns old [Of all the Hargeeves siblings, Ben is maybe the only one who has never been locked into a room as a punishment. He never needed to be punished, not really, so when the cavern starts collapsing, he just kind of stands there at first because it's not like it's going to affect him. He's dead, what are some falling rocks going to do?
No, it's probably better just to look for Klaus. Or any of his siblings, really, but he's not entirely sure if time traveling when you're dead would make you undead or just double dead. If he's still dead, Klaus is the only one who can see him and maybe make him visible to their other siblings.
So while the light is that way, Ben heads in the exact opposite direction to try and find his siblings. Nobody ever said any of the Hargreeves siblings were, like. Smart? With the exception of Five, that is.]
what's my age again? [There's a very young, like thirteen years old young, kid wandering around. He keeps repeating names questioningly, like he's looking for someone:]
Luther? Diego? [He doesn't sound scared, exactly, but he is incredibly skittish around people.] Allison? Klaus?
[The longer it looks like he's not going to be able to find any of his siblings, the more desperate Ben gets. Mostly he's been sticking to four names, but he starts using two more:]
... Five? Vanya?
[The last he almost whispers, like he's not entirely sure if he should say it at all. The other five being here would make sense. They're supposed to be superheroes. They're supposed to be together. Vanya isn't. Vanya's not allowed to come with them, because she's not special like them. Ben doesn't think that's very fair, but that's how Father says it is, so that's how it is.]
