[afkahfk Fuck everything Kappy is pulling out a tranquillizer shot and he is going to jab the Baron with it while he's still distracted.]

[provocate]

[A GOOD PLAN. Cause he's... nauseous and wants to eat everything at the same time and there's sound from nowhere on top of the annoying whispering and his ears hurt and his head hurts and his side and the cut on his face hurt and he just wants a needle, magic, anything magic, anything to eat, wants to recoil away from this horrible sound, wants this addiction to go away just... wants wants wants and]

[I guess what I'm trying to say is basically his brain just broke. He ends up... kinda... shrieking, like he might be able to drown out the noise with his own voice, hand tightening around Lizaveta's, claws digging in]

[And then he's being stuck full of something??? There's a moment of artificial euphoria before he realizes that it... wasn't... a magic syringe, and he turns on Kappy, snarling in this high, seadweller keen. Or... trying to turn on Kappy? He gets as far as looking at him before his knees give out]

[It'll take a second longer then usual for his slow ass metabolism to get through the drug and knock him out, but he's obviously struggling just to stay conscious and cover his ears now... :X]

[snowandice]

[ She drops the gun from her injured hand as the Baron releases it, a soundless snarl on her lips. ...The sound begins to retreat from Baron's ears, as Lizaveta pulls her gun from the holster under her shirt with her uninjured hand. She uses her magic to silence the barrel, and. You know what?

I'm kneecapping you. Because fuck you. ]

[provocate]

[WOW FUCK YOU TOO LADY YOU HAVE NOW BEEN BLACKLISTED he will look forward to sticking a knife lovingly into your throat the next time he sees you!!!!]

[He'd do it now but you know... it's getting harder and harder to move and all that. Just gonna... curl in over his knees and laugh, clawing... at his face a little ffffff Staying tense... but not really for much longer...]

[snowandice]

[ :)

Holstering her gun and grabbing the back of Baron's shirt to drag him behind her into the temple. ]

I am having enough of this. We're going. Now.

[provocate]

[sdlkfjdf have fun dragging him around brosis he's like seven foot tall and waaaay heavier then his skinny, slenderman body would suggest 8'|]

[Also he's out now. Good-bye world see you in the morning]

[flowerview]

[...Wow that

sure was something

wow wow wow

Just following Liza into the temple wow.]

[floatingplot]

[This level of temple is covered in cracking tile murals, no doubt once beautiful and colorful. They show a simple story:

The God appears on a world of raging water, alone.

He builds an island, and He crafts people to live on it, people in His image with all the traits of Humans, Long, Bast and Angha.

They shine like a beacon, so brightly that things begin to reach towards the world. Black things that eclipse the moon and sun, things reaching with twisted limbs and baring fractal teeth.

So He reaches into the crystal heart of the world and breaks away four crystals.

In His hands, they become four people, each a pale mirror to His own brilliance, for they only have one trait each of the species.

The blue-robed one, holding a sparkling rainbow fire, him merely the human body.

The red-robed one, casting dice with a smile, she who possesses only the glorious wings of the Angha.

The green-robed one, grasping a halberd, with the strength of the Long.

The yellow-robed one, wielding a sword, with the ears and eyes of the Bast.

Those four kneel at the four corners of the world and keep away the dark things while He stands king over all.

It ends there.

There is an altar at the back of this room, a heavy wooden thing, with a priest slumped over it clutching a scroll.

In the far corner there is an door opened to the first steps of a spiral staircase leading upwards.]

[snowandice]

[ it's okay i'm not a military-trained russian snow leopard spy for nothing.

She drops Baron to survey the mural, curiously, storing the image in her memory for later before going to inspect the altar, and the priest. ]

[flowerview]

[Kappy meanwhile continues to study the mural, eyebrow just...raising as he pieces what he knows together. This is kind of a lot to take in!]

[floatingplot]

[The priest is untouched by the monstrous magic effects. The scroll is clutched with both hands, protectively.

The altar appears empty otherwise. Whatever sacrifices there used to be are long gone.]

[snowandice]

[ Takes out her gun to nudge the priest, testing how fresh the body is if he's. Actually dead...

...And ganking that scroll if he is. ]

[floatingplot]

[He is very dead--

And that's just about when skeletal hands start clawing through the ground beneath them, grabbing at everyone's feet.]

[flowerview]

[jafjkahfhakfhkjahf SCREECH why are they so many surprises today!! Kicking at the hands --]

Second floor!

[snowandice]

[ man at this point i'm not even surprised. debating ditching baron................

well i dragged him this far. kicking at the hands and shoving the scroll into her shirt, going to grab baron and proceed to haul his stupid ass up the stairs ugh ]

[floatingplot]

[Luckily, the gate comes pre-charged from the previous teams. There's a glowing gate to mysterious lands.

I mean Atuin.

You are pursued by the skeletal monsters all the way up.]

[snowandice]

[ um fuck skeletons ugh. Rushing up the stairs and through the gate fuck you guys ]
