[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]

[you walk. you walk some more. you walk and you walk and the hallway. . . well. it seems like it'll never end]

[something ahead of you rattles, a sinister voice accompanying the noise]

. . . you hurt her. . .

To be fair, she grabbed me first!

Re: FLOOR 3463

[soulping]

[you hear rattling, and you see there are more portraits on the walls. you see the figures staring to climb out of their frames, their eyes black and their teeth sharp]

[they are staring at you. they are angry]

. . . YOU HURT HER. . .

[beyond the portraits, you can also see a door. it has a sign on it reading "stairwell"]

Re: FLOOR 3463

[naturen]

And I won't hesitate to do the same to you!

[ Then, quickly, while breaking out into a run: ] Run for it, Fuse!!

[soulping]

YOU HURT HER.

[a portrait swipes at them as they pass, its sharp claws potentially grazing their skin or tearing through their clothes]

[ Fuse is letting out a sound as the claw grazes his arm, leaving a cut along his bicep ]

[ Luckily SOMEONE is a tank, but she can't totally ignore swiping and yelling. ]

Just keep moving!

Re: FLOOR 3463

I'm running, I'm running!

Re: FLOOR 3463

[you move. you run. you bolt. you flee. the portraits continue to grab for you, but the stairwell is just ahead]

[the door is unlocked. if you can grab it and swing it open, you can escape]

[probably]

[ But can I just smack into it with my shoulder like a linebacker with 'roid rage? ]

Re: FLOOR 3463

[soulping]

[you can! the door opens. the portraits attempt to follow you down the stairwell, but before they can. . .]
