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]

Eh? What'd you find?

Shards of a story.

Something about creating monstrous friendships.

A story, huh. . . three scraps of paper? That's one for each team.

[well, each team present]

Keep 'em. They might be important later.

[shiroganeheir]

Yes, I am fully intending to do so.

[She might have been extremely un-useful the entire game, but she found... something.]

That is interesting. I wonder if other teams will find other scraps in other places.

[firm nod]

Great. We can ask once everyone's outta here and home safely, yeah?

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[shiroganeheir]

Absolutely.

Perhaps my insistence that brute force isn't the answer is... wrong in this instance.

[She makes a face.]

[he laughs, his tone light]

Oi, don't worry. Brute force isn't how I like to solve most problems, either.

It's all dependent on the situation, right? We made it this far, anyway.
