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]

Well done, Lapis.

For some degree of well done, but thank you.

[Yeah, that wasn't very good.]

Regardless, we're making progress, and working with another team. Let's keep going.

Re: FLOOR 3463

[shiroganeheir]

Absolutely.

The more people we have, the quicker we can get out of here.

[A nod]

You're doing well.

Re: FLOOR 3463

[shiroganeheir]

Thank you.

[And a smile crosses her face as something clicks.]

I think I might have arrived with a skill to solve puzzles.

I'm sure it'll come in handy in a game like this.

Re: FLOOR 3463

I certainly hope so.

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