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]

[pushes away from the wall and rubs his head]

[are you calling her fat.

She's got her sword out already tho, ain't taking none of this bullshit]

I am going to smack her when this is done.

Re: THE ELEVATOR

[carptricks]

[no!! look that elevator dropped pretty damn quickly okok]

[he doesn't have his new rapier with him, but his hand does slip into his pocket, fingers closing around the handle of his card gun]

Geez. . . I hope she's okay.

Re: THE ELEVATOR

[hyanaimne]

As do I. [Clover wants full satisfaction after she smacks her gd it Maya]

How the hell do we get out of here?

Re: THE ELEVATOR

[carptricks]

[glancing around the elevator, his eyes coming to settle on the giant, ornate mirror]

We've got the front doors, and most elevators have a hatch in the ceiling. We can probably force one of those two exits open.

Re: THE ELEVATOR

[hyanaimne]

[she's looking up - is there a hatch?]

The front doors are the most likely exit. I think we should check that last.

Re: THE ELEVATOR

[carptricks]

[while she looks up, Kaito approaches the mirror, a frown tugging down the corners of his mouth. time to get a closer look at this thing. . .]

You think it might be a trap?

Re: THE ELEVATOR

[hyanaimne]

[she pauses to watch him. Fuck mirrors, don't go near those what are you doing!!]

Yes.

Re: THE ELEVATOR

[carptricks]

[look it's just a mirror everything is just fi-- red eyes red eyes]

[he jerks away from the mirror pretty quickly, his expression visibly disquieted]

Re: THE ELEVATOR

[hyanaimne]

[PULLING HIM CLOSER TO HER (and maybe behind her) jfc]

Let's get out of here fast.

Re: THE ELEVATOR

[hyanaimne]

. . . can I break it?

Re: THE ELEVATOR

[tatsumi_textiles]

I say go fer it.

Re: THE ELEVATOR

[soulping]

[There does seem to be SOMETHING THERE...]

Re: THE ELEVATOR

[hyanaimne]

[REACHING UP TO TRY AND OPEN IT??]

Re: THE ELEVATOR

[soulping]

[WAIT I lied how tall are you]

Re: THE ELEVATOR

[hyanaimne]

[WOW??

She's 5' 9"]

Re: THE ELEVATOR

[tatsumi_textiles]

It's Star, there ain't no way she'd let somethin' like that take her down.

[Ochre has no cool weapon to check, but he needs no cool weapons.]

How're we gettin' outta here?

Re: THE ELEVATOR

[carptricks]

She is tough, s'true.

[deep breath as he tilts his chin up]

We'll have to take a look around, and see what exits there are. 'M not gonna be surprised if we have to force our way out.

Re: THE ELEVATOR

[tatsumi_textiles]

There's doors.

I'm guessin' I can't just force'em, though.

Re: THE ELEVATOR

[carptricks]

[a scoff]

Maybe not, but everything's worth a try.

Clover thinks we should check the front doors last, though.

Re: THE ELEVATOR

[tatsumi_textiles]

Right. You two'd know how these things work more'n I do.

Re: THE ELEVATOR

[soulping]

through the hole...
