[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 . . . ]

[ Shaking.

But that's because of what she saw and not the cold water right?? ]

[moderndaywhitemage]

[no I just want to keep cuddling Maya]

Are we almost there...

[gandere]

No more... P-Please.

[ What's worst than almost drowning? Watching everyone else maul themselves in a futile attempt to save you, that's what. ]

[moderndaywhitemage]

I don't want to see either of you get hurt anymore!

[gandere]

[ Swallowing hard. ]

Just keep her... from breaking anymore then.

[moderndaywhitemage]

[I can hold her ;;]

[gandere]

Don't let go of her.

[ If both of them are occupied like that then... there's no one to break ornaments. She's such a genius. ]

[acemedium]

[Points at Rin!!!

Holds up one finger]

[acemedium]

[holds a hand to her heart]

[whatever the hell that means. (It's okay)]

[gandere]

[ The hell it is. ]

Don't give me that crap, just try to not choke on your blood or anything!

[acemedium]

[N...nodding...]

[gandere]

[ Slumping against the glass. By now she's no longer paying attention to her skirt and is too caught up in the despair of her poor teammates. ]

It'll be fine. [ If she keeps repeating it, maybe she can believe it herself. ]

[acemedium]

[silently crying and clinging and trying not to pass out....]

[is this the last one? she thinks so.]

[she hopes so.]

[moderndaywhitemage]

[you only have to worry about being hugged appropriately]

[acemedium]

[): yes hugs are okay]

[but also points towards the vials.....]

[moderndaywhitemage]

What about ... the bubble?

[acemedium]

[She looks uneasy....]

[gandere]

[ Glaring. ]

We're supposed to help others, not ruin their chances of survival!

[moderndaywhitemage]

I know! I know.

[gandere]

[ She can't look away now, but god she wants to hug her too.

Mostly because she's cold, but there might be non-tsun reasons!! ]

[acemedium]

[Holds up a finger for 'one more']

[(this HAS to be the last one!)]

[gandere]

[ Shaking her head. She doesn't really want to tell her that everything they've gone through is useless yet, but... lying would be bad? ]

After this, they have to let me go. So... it'll be fine.

[acemedium]

[POINTS AT RIN]

[Clenches fist and holds it to her heart]

[gandere]

Who knows? I could have been a really good athlete back home... a grade A swimmer. I have the legs for it, you know.

[ It's easier to face the possibility of death when you've seen mutilation right before your own eyes. ]
