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]

Let's do it.

We probably should have tried it ourselves, huh.

[heading to the nearest door to get to work.]

Not necessarily, but I do see your point.

[She still takes a quick walk around the hall, as far as the light goes, to see what she can find, if anything useful.]

[Are you saying we aren't allowed more than this in our massive teamup?]

I think they said all these other doors have teams still in them. We should get them out.

Possibly. Everything somewhat happened at once.

[Including the creepy mirror version of herself.]

If you can't reach it, you can likely hold me up again.

...

Let's pretend this isn't incredibly ominous.

I certainly hope so.

I want to be able to be useful somehow, and brute force is certainly not in my skillset.

Well... I kicked it when it went for Lilac's throat, but we were busy trying to get out.

We smashed ours; that is how we got into this hallway.

[Well then, time for me to help out too... Wherever's still unopened and needs people.]

Didn't think to go after the mirror person from the get-go.

I'm not likin' this.

...I'll try that next time!

. . . I certainly hope there is no "next time".

Wait. Then, we could've actually gotten through by switching places with them?

[I was expecting to find secret items on the other side, not... a way out.]
