TIAMAT

[soulping]

[ Well. You're in an elevator now. A gross, rusty elevator.

There are buttons on the panel in front of you, all team-coloured and numbered. Above the door are two panels, one indicating what floor you are on, and the other indicating what floor every other team is on.

The voice comes in through the intercom again: ]

Subject has a tendency to subconsciously cast spells in her sleep. This ranges from mildly inconvenient to wildly disastrous, due to the state of altered reality it creates.

The most recent incident involved a scenario wherein several of her classmates, including myself, were on their way to an unspecified business meeting. However, the building was dilapidated and upon entering the elevators we found they did not function as they should. We were, then, told by malicious spirits haunting the building that the only way out was to reach the top and make it to the meeting, by using the control panels to try to drop the other elevators into the boiler room. Where they would, ah, boil.

As you can tell, this is patently ridiculous. Dreams usually are. She has been reading too many horror stories and dramas, I suppose.

The incident previous to that involved --

So it's an elevator game.

And Rio's okay. That's good.

...Obviously, we push us up one. The other three knock other people down, right?

Everything blurs for a second as your elevator clunks its way downwards.

Blood starts to seep from the walls of the elevator, pooling around your ankles.

...Seems like someone had the same thought as us, but did it upwards for Dawon.

W-well, let's go ahead and try finishing Barghest. Three down?

And then suddenly, the floor of your elevator falls away, and you go plummeting down through the void...

...and into another elevator. For some reason, this one's floor indicator says you are on the 7th floor, but the one displaying all of the teams says you are on the 9th.

You can hear the whispers of the other teams. They know. They know what you're doing, and they're going to stop you. They can't even believe you'd betray them like this. What has Barghest even done to you? They knew you were just like their patron, of course you'd help her murder everyone when she does things like this. You'll never be forgiven.

Woah! Cool! ...I wonder where that voice comes from.

Is it a magical hallucination affect, or is it a normal auditory illusion..?

Hey, Clover! I wonder if I could copy it. Do you think it'd whisper different stuff to other people if I did?
