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]

[...what]

What just happened?!

[Once he's dug himself out from under Sakura]

We got you guys free.

From the-- door?

[glances back behind him and scrambles back]

Careful, there was a spirit... thing, in there, melting all over the floor.

What, the mirror thing? It dies if you break the glass.

We didn't get that far, we were trying to get out.

...but I did break its' hand!

Worth somethin' I guess.

Pick a door, we're gettin' everyone out. They take two people.

[There's Tiamat, Dawon, and Henwen colored uniforms mingling, and Ochre's headed over to help Silver free Takshaka.]
