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]

We don't have windows to check how high up we are, either.

[tatsumi_textiles]

I mean, we did get out through the mirror.

[Kicks a wall]

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[shiroganeheir]

Thank you. That will certainly help. Now, if we can use that to find anything else that might be helpful around here.

[She sighs, trying to look around in the now-brighter light.]

[tatsumi_textiles]

Looks like it.

Which team is yours again? I don't think I've met any of you guys.

[zeroics]

I feel like I've ridden it enough for one day.

Goddammit.

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[zeroics]

...that's true... not many choices, huh.

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[hyanaimne]

You mean you do not see one?

[lightly, cuz she's an asshole, but she's joking]

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[zeroics]

Whoa.

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[carptricks]

Hey, better that hallway than that-- [he jerks his thumb towards the line of elevators] -- elevator.

If you ask me.

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[wherethewildthingsare]

...Lemme go in front, so if something jumps out I can soak the hit.

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[hyanaimne]

Yes, well. Hold out your hand, child.

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[hyanaimne]

"Whoa"?

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[tatsumi_textiles]

[Nods]

You and me in front, Clover right behind us with her light.

[shiroganeheir]

[Lapis holds out her hand, curiously. Notably, she doesn't seem nervous.]

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[zeroics]

What you're doing with the fire. That's amazing

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[hyanaimne]

[and depositing the fireball into her hand.

It feels warm, but it doesn't burn her at all]

If you can find pieces of wood, I can make proper torches. But this will have to do for now.

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[hyanaimne]

Oh. It is just magic . . .

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[ghettobatman]

[Dryly:]

As have I.

But we need to get out of here and there's no other way, is there?

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[wherethewildthingsare]

At least the floor won't fall.

Probably.

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[ghettobatman]

For some reason, I don't. Maybe it's dark in here?

[it's fine he's playing along]

Re: FLOOR 3463 (the team elevator floor)

[wherethewildthingsare]

Sounds good t'me.
