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]

What the hell is going on? What are those voices?

We're almost out. We're in the Lobby, the doors're right ahead of us.

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[ghettobatman]

...Then let's keep going.

It sounds like the Echo and the idiot girl from the beginning of the game.

We are in some . . . large room now.

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[ghettobatman]

What Echo? What girl? [HE MISSED ALL THE MINGLE SHIZ]

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[hyanaimne]

Poltergeist and Eveningstar, of Epona.

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[ghettobatman]

I've never heard of either of them.

[he assumes Epona is a team though]

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[hyanaimne]

You would know if you have met Eveningstar.

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[ghettobatman]

What makes her an idiot, exactly? Did she do something?

[aside from yelling in his mind... whatever]

[y u talking shit Clover]

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[hyanaimne]

She - ah, "spirit channeled" the Echo, I believe.

[cuz she's gonna give Star what for later, duh]

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[ghettobatman]

......Excuse me?

[spirit what the what now]

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[hyanaimne]

You will have to ask someone else for an explanation, unless you somehow understand Elvish.

[it's some necromancy bullshit obvs]

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[carptricks]

L. . . long story.

[ha]

The voices are the Echo who was supposed to run this game-- Poltergeist.

The other is Eveningstar. . . a girl on Epona.

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[ghettobatman]

A dangerous Echo?

Epona's a team, isn't it? So what does that girl have to do with it...?

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[carptricks]

Yeah.

[there's a pause, and he mumbles you must've missed what happened before the game. . . and then he speaks up]

Eveningstar channeled the Echo. Poltergeist. He's a malevolent spirit, so I guess she was able to rip him away from Haunt and stop his game before he could do any damage.

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[ghettobatman]

[he heard that, bucko, and yes he did]

So that girl is fighting him as we escape? [what is this spirit medium bullshit]

[you know what, forget it.] Where are they? Is she alright?

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[carptricks]

I don't know.

[that's his answer to every one of those questions]

. . . but 'm hoping we can find her once we manage to get the heck out of this place.

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[ghettobatman]

I hope so too.

[that is some reckless bullshit right there] I doubt one girl can handle a.... creature... like that for long.

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[carptricks]

[he clenches his hands into fists at his side and ducks his head]

. . . I don't know Eveningstar well, but I do know she's tough.

That doesn't mean she won't need our help, though. And like hell anyone here is gonna leave her behind.

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[ghettobatman]

[People keep calling her "girl", so Matt assumes she's a kid like 99% of this game]

[and he's protective of those, don't judge him]

Let's find that thing and end this, then.

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[carptricks]

[hey teenagers aren't kids!1]

Right.

-- ah, 'm Kaito, by the way. Don't think we've met.

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[wherethewildthingsare]

Someone is trying to stop the echo, we need to get out of here while they're obstructing it. We're almost out.

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[ghettobatman]

....Then let's keep moving. Where's Lapis?

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[wherethewildthingsare]

I think she's.. testing the door.

It's a little.. off.

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[ghettobatman]

....We should be careful.
