EPONA + KASHA

[soulping]

[As you stand around waiting for something to happen, you begin to feel something pressing on you, vaguely...as though a heavy blanket has been draped around your shoulders, although there's still nothing there. You close your eyes for just a moment - just a blink - and then-

The floor drops. You go plummeting downwards, or so it seems; you can't quite tell, because suddenly everything is pitch dark and you feel like you're falling, falling, falling...]

[She starts a little with Mushroom's hand on her shoulder, but seems to remember herself. Mumbled:] Is this what it's going to feel like when I get that shard....?

....

I.... c-can still move... so...

Re: ROOM 2

[dirtdevil]

[ grips her shoulder a little tighter before letting go. ]

Yeah. Let's just see what's down here and then get the hell out.

Re: ROOM 2

[acemedium]

[She smiles at him, though her body language is still frightened]

Let's get the ol' corpses shambling!

[Onward!!]

Re: ROOM 2

[soulping]

Behind you, you hear the grinding noise of a heavy stone door sliding shut across the entrance of the crypt. You're trapped!

Candles burst into flame around walls, giving you enough light to see a wall of names- all the members of Epona. Including yours.

Bright, wet blood is smeared on everything.

Re: ROOM 2

[acemedium]

What is this, a corpse party? There's only the two of us here.

[But, wow, is she ever going pale at the blood]

[And refusing to look at the names]

[WHAT IF SHE JUST TRIES TO TAKE A CANDLE...]

Re: ROOM 2

[soulping]

It comes off the wall easily. Hot wax drips on your fingers. Ow.

Re: ROOM 2

[acemedium]

[ALL OF HER IDEAS ARE GREAT]

Owwww!

[HASTILY BLOWS OUT THE CANDLE AND THEN THROWS IT AT THE BLOODY WRITING!!!]

Re: ROOM 2

[soulping]

It hits the wall and falls to the ground like a stick of wax. What did you expect.

Re: ROOM 2

[acemedium]

[Maybe it was all part of her master plan. Anyway, if she can feel pain, it means she's still alive... so she's starting to suspect she's being severely messed with]

[ALSO, SHE'S ALREADY DEAD, SUCKER. JOKE'S ON YOU!!!]

Knut, if this is really you, we're going to have a talk about your pranks...

[ONWARDS!!!! Trying to avoid stepping in the blood in the process]

Re: ROOM 2

[soulping]

You can't avoid it. It seems like it's increasing but you can't see where it's coming from.

You hear something moving above you.

Re: ROOM 2

[acemedium]

[fine then she's holding up her sleeve to her face to block the smell!!!]

[LOOKS... UP...]

Re: ROOM 2

[soulping]

Massively thick, thorny vines, creeping out of the darkness, stretching towards you. (You know exactly what they are, don't you?) Their thorns are already pricked with blood, and their roots thirst for more.

[>Cry Wolf flashbacks]

[>CRY WOLF FLASHBACKS]

[Picks up another candle and throw it straight for the vines!]

I don't think so!

Re: ROOM 2

[dirtdevil]

[ ha ha ha I don't think so motherfucker.

fortunately Shroom's always got a knife on him, which he happened to get from Star... and if any of these vines get within his reach (which is not very high) he's going go try to slice the shit out of them. with anything getting close to Star being priority, of course. ]

Re: ROOM 2

[soulping]

You cut and cut, but there's so many. You have nowhere to run.

Re: ROOM 2

[soulping]

The vines burn where the flame touches them, but there's so many. You have nowhere to run.

Re: ROOM 2

[acemedium]

[THROWS ANOTHER CANDLE, bristling like an angry cat!]

--Hey! Spirit! Come out! I know this is some kind of trick, because I don't intend on laying down and dying here!

Re: ROOM 2

[dirtdevil]

[ aaand he'll just keep slicing around them! ]

We're not dying anywhere.

Re: ROOM 2

[acemedium]

[YYYYYEAH, ABOUT THAT....]

Well, anyway!

Re: ROOM 2

[soulping]

They keep coming, growing and writhing and reaching for you. Before long, you're cornered.

Re: ROOM 2

[acemedium]

[Closes her eyes and meditates again, trying to focus on the spirit....]

Re: ROOM 2

[soulping]

You feel it right next to you...

No, wait.

It is you?

Re: ROOM 2

[acemedium]

[No, it's not because she can't channel herself!!]

[THIS ISN'T CHANNELCEPTION]

Re: ROOM 2

[soulping]

Brrrrrrmmm.

No, it definitely is you. One body, one spirit, it's basic math. No wonder it wanted you to come to it! Now you're together again, isn't that nice.

And the vines are still coming.

Re: ROOM 2

[acemedium]

[That doesn't even make sense!!! AND THIS IS COMING FROM THE RESIDENT CUCKOOLANDER]

[You know what, she recently found out she got burned to death, had to take home a teammate who drowned in blood, found out one of her former teammates was a giant man-eating monster, and nearly died to velociraptor attacks this morning]

[SHE'S HAD IT WITH THESE MOTHERFUCKING JUMPSCARES IN THIS MOTHERFUCKING HORRORGAME]

[CHARGES FORWARD!11]

Bring it on!

[MAAAAAAYAAAA JENKINSSSSSS]
