SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[soulping]

[The second room is completely dark, lit only by a large stone lantern far, far down.]

[However, as you step, two blue flames appear on either side of you. No matter which direction you go, they appear by your side]

[You feel the faint sounds of a waterfall coming from the direction of the lamp and know you have to get there]

Ha . . . ha . . . I don't even like water . . .

[she says, as she starts walking anyway.]

[ Mermaid, on the other hand, is more than a little enthusiastic about it.

Drawing his hands in to avoid the fire and picking his way toward sound. ]

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[takewing]

Eager, are we?

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[tothedepths]

To be frank, the sound of running water is the first familiar or rational thing I have heard in this place.

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[soulping]

[as you start to walk, the ground is suddenly... slippery! Almost like ice!]

[not only that, you now seem to have a faintly glowing sword (made of foam, if you touch it) in your hand, and Tide gets ridiculous outfit (sans helmet)]

[Bluebird just gets a glow in the dark cape that is flowing despite the lack of wind]

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[takewing]

[bluebird is also FALLING ON HER FACE because what the fuck is ice, this isn't something that happens in Sabra!!]

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[tothedepths]

[ He maintains his balance by virtue of being perpetually wet and thus perpetually slippery, but it's a very near thing.

Leaning down to help pluck Bluebird off the ground but - finally losing his balance due to SUDDEN RIDICULOUS OUTFIT?!

Yeah he's going down too. ]

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[takewing]

[super dignified squawk as a merpire FALLS DIRECTLY ON TOP OF HER

. . . and they start sliding forward . . .]

[ MAKE WAY, VAMPIRE DUO IS COMING TO SAVE THE DAY ]

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[takewing]

[WITH BLUEBIRD'S COOL GLOWY CAPE FLOWING ELEGANTLY BEHIND THEM]

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[soulping]

[the ice lights up with your blue flames as you both fail spectacularly, good job]

[on the plus side, the ice is sloped enough for you to gentle start sliding down]

[on the minus side, a foam version of Koutero just bonked off of both of your heads]

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[tothedepths]

[ Trying to scramble off Bluebird while they slide because WOW THIS ISN'T AWKWARD AT ALL

Success is variable at best

Hindered further by being bonked on the head ]

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[takewing]

[YEAH SURE TRY TO SCRAMBLE OFF HER WHILE SHE'S TRYING TO FLAIL AWAY]

[that won't end with them getting even more tangled, or with them sliding faster. nope.]

Wave! Hold still, will you?!

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[tothedepths]

F- fine!

[ HOLDING STILL but they're still sliding so how much does it help, really ]

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[takewing]

[It helps them not accidentally flail into an even more awkward position, because she's forcing herself to hold still, too 8|;]

Thank you.

[WE'RE JUST GONNA SLIDE ALL THE WAY DOWN LIKE THIS]

[LIKE WINNERS]

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[soulping]

[sliding is good! You're reaching your destination faster]

[though more things are flying at you! Think fast! Do you sword at them or try to catch them?]

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[tothedepths]

[ Using the sword as a shield first (yes........) so that he can get a look at what the heck they are before deciding violence levels. ]

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[soulping]

[they seem to be objects made of foam]

[one looks like a cellphone]

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[takewing]

[FLAILS AN ARM UP TO GRAB THAT]

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[tothedepths]

[ lol what's a cellphone, BEATING OFF SOME OF THE OTHER INCOMING JUNK ]

What... is it?

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[soulping]

[you now have a cellphone made of foam as you slide down the ice in an embarrassing tumble]

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[takewing]

A communications device! Made of . . . er . . . I don't know . . .

But we're looking for evidence, are we not? Any of this stuff could be important!

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[tothedepths]

Oh -

[ He lowers the sword at that (which leads to one of the items bonking him in the face) ]

You have a point. I had not considered it.

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[soulping]

[you're lucky you're not taking penalties for this]

[anyway, you guys are getting pretty close to the lantern and waterfall area! But a barrage of samurai-related toys come your way]

[WHAT DO]
