[The room you step into looks like it could be a miniature ballroom, complete with stained glass windows and vast, ornate mirrors.

Your team's column is set into one wall, easily accessible but as impregnable as ever. One of the mirrors may prove almost as interesting, if you can tear your eyes away from your trapped teammate. Through it, you are somehow able to see every other team's column and what is inside, though nothing beyond that.

The floor beneath your feet polished, patterned wood, inlaid with the pattern of a grand sundial in your team's colors. In the center of the pattern stands a pedestal, upon which sits a collection of colorful glass ornaments. It looks like there's room for other items, but there's nothing else to be found just yet . . . ]

[nods very slowly, biting her lip and taking the quill and sitting down with it. it takes a minute to roll her stockings down and another to remember how to breathe, which just leaves her shaking and holding the quill over her leg]

[gandere]

You can't just write it there!

[ Thighs are Very Sacred. ] Or anywhere!

[moderndaywhitemage]

Someone has to ...

[I'll. keep unrolling stockings and jam it into my shin, that's worse and yet also worse]

[gandere]

[ Don't... ]

[moderndaywhitemage]

[she said a pattern would be fine, I can ... I can do this...]

[gandere]

[ Forcing herself to watch. ]

[moderndaywhitemage]

[it's a pretty lazy pattern all things considered, just sort of wrapping around her ankle]

[gandere]

[ It's kind of pretty, but maybe that's because she's now discovering just how nice looking blood is. Wonder what's up with that. ]

... This is so awful.

[moderndaywhitemage]

I know.

[gandere]

I don't like it.

[Rub rub rub]

Just think of it like a tattoo.... You're really tough, Coco.....

[moderndaywhitemage]

Schooler's already in danger. I can't... I can't just sit here and not do anything about it.

[gandere]

[ Why is she even saying that? They're the ones in trouble with hurting themselves... ]

[moderndaywhitemage]

[you could drown and if I didn't do anything I'd ... I'd be the worst person on the planet...]

[gandere]

[ No, you'd be a person who thought of two surviving is better than one. ]

The three of us won't give up.

We'll make it through this.

[moderndaywhitemage]

Uh-huh...

[acemedium]

We'll save her.... [She just keeps repeating this stuff and trying to stay positive, because if she doesn't she'll probably break down.]

[this is way too much pressure]

[moderndaywhitemage]

W-we have to.
