TIAMAT

[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]

Well, I've never seen anything like it.

Henwen. And you're... Dawon?

[he met one of you]

[she'd feel bad if he didn't so that's good]

It is rather dark in here.

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[ghettobatman]

That must explain it.

[don't worry he has no issue with it]

There are a lot of people here. Care to be my eyes?

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[shiroganeheir]

Excellent. I thank you. If I find any wood, I will certainly bring it to you. We could possibly use more than one light.

[Taking the light, she starts wandering off toward the darker part of the hall.= to see what she can find.]

[As you walk down the hallways, you find that it's lined up with portraits. They are very antique, old Victorian in particular, featuring many women and men within.

Safe.

It's safe.]

[she's looking around at all the people here . . . is she the only mage, wao]

I see . . . it is fairly common here, but I do not see any of the other mages.

Oi! Don't jinx it!

[excellent]

My, I would be honored.

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[wherethewildthingsare]

[Rushing to keep up.]

We should keep a formation.

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[zeroics]

Not as far as I can tell... unless there's stairs at the end of the hallway.

[that would be a fuckload of stairs though, they would be Stair Masters.]

Re: FLOOR 3463

[zeroics]

Yeah, that's right. I'm Dandelion.

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[purple_sister]

[Yes, following and... Trying not to touch anything. Let's not mess up and summon another slime-beast-material type monster that melts all over the floor.]

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[carptricks]

[his gaze lingers on the portraits, but he doesn't slow down his pace]

Guys. . .

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[ghettobatman]

[you need the exercise honestly]

Or a hidden exit?

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[shiroganeheir]

Yes. I can keep in front, at least for now with the light, and watch for anything that might be either useful or jumping out in front of us. People with powers can protect those who do not have any.

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[hyanaimne]

I could manage a few more of those, but I would be useless if something attacks.

[and probably set a few people on fire, but. GOOD LUCK WITH WHATEVER U FIND]

Re: FLOOR 3463

[ghettobatman]

Jasper.

Nice to meet you, though the circumstances could be better.

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[tatsumi_textiles]

[It feels- safe.

Ochre doesn't trust this one bit]

We oughtta keep moving.

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[zeroics]

How old is this place.

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[ghettobatman]

I appreciate it.

What's happening?

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[soulping]

[Those eyes are gazing at you too lovingly.

Wait.






What?]

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[shiroganeheir]

I would suggest not looking at the portraits as much as possible.

The mirrors did... somewhat nasty things.

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[hyanaimne]

A few of the children are exploring further down with the light I gave them.
