[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 . . . ]

[ And then there is a quickly-growing pool of blood and he's screaming.

Apparently, losing a foot hurts. ]

[ Even if he knew the answer to that question, he can't think right now for the pain. Also, he's still screaming. ]

[ UM.... UMMMMMMMMM TAKES OFF HIS JACKET AND. WRAPS? IT AROUND THE FOOT???? ]

Re: Choice

[forgotmyusername]

[ Well, that certainly can't hurt. He's managed to stop screaming, but he's pretty much just flopped on the ground now, and he's crying. ]

[ e-elevating it and. applying pressure? this seems like the kind of thing to do ]

Re: Choice

[forgotmyusername]

[ That's probably helping the foot overall! Don't expect much reaction from him for a bit, though. ]

Re: Choice

[knighttoremember]

[ yeah no that's okay I'll just, keep doing this, trying not to hyperventilate ]

[ He doesn't seem to be answering! Rather, his foot's been wrapped by Sirius' jacket, and he's now curled up on the ground and he's crying. ]
