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]

...It might be okay.

Of course, I suspect the paintings might try something, again..

They didn't like fire before. If we take these paper scraps and put them in front of the door and set them on fire, it might get rid of whatever's out there.

I'm expecting the skeletons to start moving next, though..

Hey, so.

I have a grappling cable. I can go through the door with it attached on this side, and if something goes wrong, you guys can pull me out.

[this is a foolproof plan]

[ghettobatman]

Are you sure you're prepared for this?

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[zeroics]

Are any of us? We've got to get out of here while we can, so someone needs to go first.

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[ghettobatman]

Alright.

[but he's pulling your ass back if anything goes wrong, fellow reckless dumbass hero type]

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[zeroics]

I'll yank on it once if things are bad, twice if you can come through.

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[ghettobatman]

[PROPOSAL ACCEPTED]

If there aren't yanks, I'll pull you back.

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[zeroics]

That works too!

[tatsumi_textiles]

Sounds like a plan ta me.

[Of course it does.]

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[zeroics]

Best I got. I'll start with just opening them.

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[tatsumi_textiles]
