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]

[only in spirit (SEE WHAT I DID THERE)]

[he has a weakness for kids, okay, don't judge his motherhening ass]

Then let's keep going.

[SO HE CAN BEAT UP ECHOES]

[you must be stopped]

Mmm . . . though there are some scraps of paper here, by the desk. Someone used summoning magic, judging by what is written. Bloody idiots.

[i can't be stopped]

The Eveningstar girl, or someone else?

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[hyanaimne]

[yes u can]

Someone else.

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[ghettobatman]

[Nah.]

Summoned... Poltergeist? Is this how it came to exist?

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[hyanaimne]

It is . . . possible? Haunt may know.

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[ghettobatman]

Who is Haunt?

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[hyanaimne]

Another Echo closely tied with Poltergeist. The other, small voice we are hearing.

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[ghettobatman]

...I see. So she's on our side?

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[hyanaimne]

I believe so, yes.

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[ghettobatman]

Perhaps she knows something we can do to beat him.

[another Echo is better than a teenaged girl though]

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[hyanaimne]

Perhaps . . . I suppose I can ask her about the spell, if she remembers. Surely there is a way to undo it.

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[ghettobatman]

There has to be. These Echoes aren't infalliable.

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[hyanaimne]

Nor is magic. I am not too familiar with summoning magic, but some of the other mages here might, too.

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[ghettobatman]

[god he can't believe he's actually relying on magic and spirit and summoning, what is this supernatural nonsense]

This is a common occurrence, isn't it?

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[hyanaimne]

I am not sure what you mean - magic, or this whole - whatever is going on?

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[ghettobatman]

All of it.

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[hyanaimne]

. . . no, not really.
