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]

[carptricks]

[squints through the dimness, also focused on the team colored elevators]

Is everyone else. . .?

Re: FLOOR 3463

[tatsumi_textiles]

It'd make sense, right?

There any way ta get these open?

Re: FLOOR 3463

[soulping]

[There's elevator buttons...]

Re: FLOOR 3463

[tatsumi_textiles]

[So uh.]

We're goin' down, right?

Re: FLOOR 3463

[hyanaimne]

I . . . suppose?

Re: FLOOR 3463

[carptricks]

[trots up behind Ochre, frowning at the buttons]

Yeah, but I dunno if we wanna go down that way. Maybe if we pry the doors open, we can release some of the other teams?

Re: FLOOR 3463

[tatsumi_textiles]

[Looks left, right, then frowns]

Where you want ta start?

[His vote is Henwen- but everyone knows that already]

Re: FLOOR 3463

[hyanaimne]

If it will release the others, why do we not all pick a door?

Re: FLOOR 3463

[carptricks]

They're all colored by team, so. . .

[gdmit, he doesn't know which team Aoko is with]

I'm with Clover. Let's just pick one. Any door.

Re: FLOOR 3463

[tatsumi_textiles]

[Nods]

I'll get Henwen.

[He tries prying open the door]

Re: FLOOR 3463

[hyanaimne]

[Clover didn't see anyone she cared about so she'll just

Go for Dawon]

Re: FLOOR 3463

[carptricks]

YOU MIGHT WANNA PUT MORE FORCE INTO IT]

Re: FLOOR 3463

[tatsumi_textiles]

Hey, I think it'll take two of us fer these!

Re: FLOOR 3463

[carptricks]

Here--!

[steps away from Takshaka and trots over to help]

I wish we had some kinda leverage. Tch. . .

[still, he grabs hold of the crack between the doors and pulls]

Re: FLOOR 3463

[ghettobatman]

[BUT WE'RE HERE??]

Hello?

Re: FLOOR 3463

[hyanaimne]

[obligatory stealing of sipp's blind jokes goes here.

Glancing over from where she was still trying with Dawon's door]

—oh, it's you.

Re: FLOOR 3463

[tatsumi_textiles]

[You are new]

Hey, help us get these other doors open.

[Going to help Clover with the Dawon door.]
