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]

[LET'S JUST KEEP GOING THEN.]

[ghettobatman]

Keep moving!

[THEY CAN MAKE IT]

[zeroics]

[shit. just barrels forward with Lilac on his back, he can make it.]

[purple_sister]

[And Lilac is just going to stay on his back, feeling useless.]

[tatsumi_textiles]

You heard the lady! Keep movin'!

[Ochre keeps his hold on Lapis and keeps moving forward, ignoring how this reminds him of when Delriza was getting sick]

[shiroganeheir]

[She keeps running beside Ochre, holding out the light as much as she can.]

I think we're almost there, everyone. I... hope.

[carptricks]

Like hell you won't!

[he isn't giving up. . .!]

[showyouthesight]

[Jerking his head back real quick to check on his team before continuing to run]

Head for the stairs!

[hyanaimne]

[just going to leave some fire behind them as they run]

[carptricks]

I bet that's therapeutic. . .!

[hyanaimne]

I have no idea what you're talking about.
