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]

Tiamat. Nice to meetcha.

[a beat]

I mean that, as much as I wish the circumstances were better.

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[ghettobatman]

Likewise. [a little dryly. This kid gets it] Circumstances aside, it's a pleasure.

[carptricks]

Eh. At least we've done a pretty good job of punching our circumstances in the face, don't you think?

[we escaped from those portraits without dying!!]

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[ghettobatman]

That we have. We all make a good team.

[and no one's been hurt so far, which is a relief]

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[carptricks]

One super awesome mega team, if you ask me. Heh. . .!

[joking around helps alleviate whatever tension remains]

[ghettobatman]

[you'd fit in well with Marvel, Kaito]

A superteam, if you would.

[damn right he would, he has a secret identity and everything]

Heeeeh.

Sounds cheesy, but I still like it.

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[ghettobatman]

[we're not so different]

[you and I]

[I and you]

[us]

Well, let's put these brains and brawns to use.

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[carptricks]

[clasps hands. . .!]

Ha. We sure have used plenty of the latter today. I'm more of a brains guy myself.

Re: FLOOR ᴃᔌজ᜗⇣༛ (the lobby)

[ghettobatman]

A combination should do the trick.

[and kotetsu is doing stuff so eh]
