TAKSHAKA

[soulping]

[The room you step into looks like it could be a miniature ballroom, complete with stained glass windows and vast, ornate mirrors.

Your team's column is set into one wall, easily accessible but as impregnable as ever. One of the mirrors may prove almost as interesting, if you can tear your eyes away from your trapped teammate. Through it, you are somehow able to see every other team's column and what is inside, though nothing beyond that.

The floor beneath your feet polished, patterned wood, inlaid with the pattern of a grand sundial in your team's colors. In the center of the pattern stands a pedestal, upon which sits a collection of colorful glass ornaments. It looks like there's room for other items, but there's nothing else to be found just yet . . . ]

Re: Discussion

[friendshipismusic]

[tries to maneuver so that she lands on top of his body, at least]

Re: Discussion

[friendshipismusic]

[go us

though this means that when she gets her bearings again she's gonna try to pin him >(]

Re: Discussion

[swordedpast]

[oof]

Why...?

It was the only way to save her, now.

Re: Discussion

[friendshipismusic]

In a way that she did not want to be saved!

We are going to do our best, we are not going to sit back and let her die.

Re: Discussion

[swordedpast]

It's too late. Look at the water.

Re: Discussion

[friendshipismusic]

It's never too late.

[fine, you do that, i'm going to cry on your chest because i gave up any ability to feel happiness, and you are going to like it you butt]

[tries to grab you, sling you over his shoulder, and jump up to run to stop Sparrow!]

Re: Discussion

[barrette]

-No!

[ DIVERTED FROM HER COURSE OF GOING FOR AN ORNAMENT TO TRY AND STOP HIM ]

Don't, don't do this! Don't make Finch and Robin's sacrifices mean nothing!

Re: Discussion

[friendshipismusic]

Sparrow, go get it! I'll handle Swan!

Re: Discussion

[swordedpast]

What about my sacrifice?!

[sprawled on the floor from where he was tripped!]

It'll mean nothing...! It'll be meaningless if I can't save her!

Re: Discussion

[barrette]

I... there isn't time for this!

[ now that Swan is thoroughly out of the way, Sparrow sprints for the pedestal to smash an ornament. ]
