RATATOSKR

[soulping]

[When you come to, you find yourself locked in a small, cramped, antique elevator. One wall is covered with a large, ornate mirror, and a chandelier hangs above your head. The doors are made of metal and shut very, very tightly. The lights are off.]

[You hear two familiar voices echo distantly in your mind]

LET ME GO, Ǧ̲̖̩̞̣̲̌Ĩ͎R̞̩͎̝̍L̹̳̫̾͛Ȉ͙͈̬͐͒ͭ̄̌̊E̥̥̓ͨ!

I won't let you hurt them!

[Before you have time to say anything, the elevator suddenly jolts, before it begins to plummet. Your heart drops to the pit of your stomach as you fall, fall, fall, and then. . .]

[Suddenly it stops. You're thrown off balance, possibly to the point of where you crash into a wall or a nearby neighbor. All is silent]

[ Before she deals with her own reflection then and still depending on the latch but— ]

I do... [ THIS IS ALL VERY WEIRD. ]

What do you think we should do about it? Should we open the door?

Re: THE ELEVATOR

[featherduster]

I think we might need more than one person's strength. But... if the voices are responding to us, maybe they'll help us...?

Re: THE ELEVATOR

[skypsalms]

If... Is it possible for them to be parts of Haunt? She did say that she was going to try to help us and... Maybe these voices belong to her?

[ She doesn't know anything about it the circumstances really but?? ]

I say we can trust them to help us.

Re: THE ELEVATOR

[featherduster]

It could be - they sound encouraging, at least. We never know unless we try, right?

Re: THE ELEVATOR

[skypsalms]

Right! Even if they can't help us here maybe they'll remember us and help us later.

[ Optimism go! ]
