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]

You too. And I don't know, this seems to happen around here a lot, so it's pretty likely we'd end up meeting plenty of people in times like this.

[HAHAHAHA he remembers that fucking mirror. no thanks, not today. he tears his gaze away from the paintings and keeps moving. quickly]

[tears his gaze away from the portraits quickly, expression shifting into a scowl]

I know. We broke our mirror before it could grab us.

But I dunno if "not looking" will protect us. We just need to stay on the move.

[Half-paying attention to the portraits as they move.]

We'd have to get lucky to find that.

Re: FLOOR 3463

[ghettobatman]

So I'm noticing.

Is it common for teams to be paired up?

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[shiroganeheir]

Ours, er, started to attempt to come out, but we escaped before it could do any harm.

[I can't hear you over the sound of how sexy Charlie Cox is shirtless]

No sense in just standing here.

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[hyanaimne]

Mm, probably.

[reaching for his hand, and directing it to her arm] I imagine they will scream if something happens.

[Lapis is not making that mistake twice. She's moving along, eyes and attention to anything in the hall that is not a portrait]

[Those eyes are gazing at you too lovingly.

Wait.

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[carptricks]

[jerks his shoulder away from whatever grabbed him and whirls around, aiming his card gun at. . . well]

[whatever it is. DON'T UNDERESTIMATE HIM, HE'LL SHOOT]

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[shiroganeheir]

Ow!

[Lapis pauses for a moment, wincing and turning to look at her shoulder. Nothing is there. There's just the flickering firelight in her hand. Taking a deep breath, she winces, trying not to cry out again and keeps going.]

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[ghettobatman]

Regardless. I'd like to make sure they're alright.

[taking her arm, please lead him to the children so that he may motherhen]

[you might wanna start running cuz those pictures have started to make nasty expressions.]

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[carptricks]

[ha. . .]

Good. You all seemed to come out in one piece, so--

[but before he can say anything else, something grabs his shoulder]

[his eyes go wide, and he whirls around to face whatever it is, gun raised and at the ready]

Nothing, I guess. It's just weird. Everything in the last game was old too.
