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]

[are u sure tho

are you]

I don't like this.

My, you aren't enjoying yourself?

Somehow no.

Are those even doors? They're ... swirling.

I am . . . not sure.

...

[looks at his wristband.]

Hm...

Hmm?

[she's investigatin' the desk]

If we need to test the door, I can do it.

. . . with what?

I've got a grappling cable in this. [he taps the wristband.] I can lock it onto something here and unwind the cable, so if I go in and something's wrong, you guys can pull me back out.

. . .

Surely you are not serious.

Someone's got to go first, and I've got a way to get yanked back. Why wouldn't I be serious?

I would rather not have to "yank" out a dead body.

What are you thinking?

I can use the cable in my wristband to lock onto something in here, then go through the door. If something goes wrong, you guys can pull me back.

[I am not crazy about this plan...]

I guess that's one option.

Unless someone comes up with something better, I'll do it.

We can keep looking.

Right.

[YES.

...

Are you gonna look in the desk. I need to give you something spooky.]

[yes give me the spoopy]

[AND THEN YOU ARE KILLED BY-

No jk. Near the desk, you'll find scraps of paper.]

[2 SPOOKY

She's picking them up, ofc]

[. . . she breathes out a curse under her breath]

I bloody hate summoning magic.
