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

Get out! Get out, get out, get out! B-before it's too late! Star. . . when she channeled Poltergeist, she trapped him and cut off his control of this game! His influence on the realm right now is shaky at best, escape from this place before he returns to kill you all!
But be careful. . . be careful! The realm is-- it's unstable, it's dangerous! And there may be parts of it that try to drag you back as you escape. . . if you're grabbed by something, struggle until you get away! And try not to get hurt!
[It's Haunt, sounding more frantic than she ever has before]
I. . . I'm on my way. I'm on my way, just hold on until I can get there!

FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)
[The hallway stretches ahead of you for what seems like forever, with no ending in sight. If you stare into the distance for too long, it almost seems to bend and shift and twist right before your very eyes, like someone decided to use the smudge tool on your surroundings. . .]
[Lining the walls of the hallway are twelve elevators, with six on each side. Each one is colored for each team in Kyriakos. Next to the elevators you see a sign: Floor 3463]

[Large portraits of various supernatural creatures hang on the walls in this room: a beautiful mermaid laid out on a warm, sunny rock; a bright unicorn rearing back on its hind legs while a rainbow shines in the background; a graveyard filled with pale ghosts. On your left is the check in desk, seemingly normal except for the skeleton (dressed in a hotel staff uniform) that is lying on top of the counter limply. To your right is the concierge desk, the counter also "decorated" with a skeleton dressed in a crisp suit with a nametag that says "concierge." And in front of you. . .]
[Is the exit. A set of double doors shrouded in bright, white light. The doors twist and swirl in a circle, like a cyclone, right before your very eyes. The way out seems clear]
[You hear voices whispering in your ear. A deep, angry voice hissing the word fools, to which a female voice-- Maya-- counters: I'll stop you!]
