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]

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[zeroics]

Definitely not. The others have some lights, so I think we're heading down the hallway.

[shiroganeheir]

Felt like something... grabbed my shoulder. I'm fine. We just need to keep moving.

[There's still a burning in her shoulder, but getting out is much more important right now.]

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[showyouthesight]

Why does everything in this place want to look at you?

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[purple_sister]

[Also running, yes.]

They don't all want to look at you! Sometimes they want to switch with and/or throttle you!

[Which... I know from experience, yes.]

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[shiroganeheir]

Right with you, Ochre.

[She takes a breath and falls in step beside him for now.]

I... do not like this situation much myself.

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[carptricks]

[thooose portraits don't look friendly at all]

Yeah, and I think we need to book it the hell outta here before they try again!

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[carptricks]

[BOLTING AFTER OCHRE, though not before making sure everyone follows]

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[tatsumi_textiles]

[As the group starts running, Ochre keeps his eyes on the ground ahead of him, instead of the pictures round them]

Could be worse.

Least we ain't bein' chased.
