> Rose: Open second door

You can't open the second door by yourself! It takes two people to do that. The inscription says so.

Not that you've read it yet.Rose looked up at the door, the previous one's precise opposite number. The hallway had not been the esophagus of a great beast, at least so far. Or it was a very stone-covered, hallway- ( Read more... )

[From here]As they descended the stairs, Scott's eyes darted away from the marble doors on the ballroom's south side. He couldn't help looking back up at Indy as his head turned, almost as if to make sure the man wasn't secretly a ghost that would disappear on them at any moment. ...Then again, if he was a ghost, wasn't turning around supposed to ( Read more... )

Honk.

Gamzee startled himself a bit by how loud the horn was in the empty hallway, but followed that up with a grin.

Honk honkNever mind that it might be attracting the attention of a monster or something else he didn't want. That possibility never came to mind. If anything, it would help the rest of his group to find him in these dark ( Read more... )

[From here]Again he paused, this time just outside the doorway. Toward the end of the hall he saw a bit of light, which probably meant that was the door to the outside. And immediately on his left was another door, open, which just lead to another hall. That was the direction he wanted, according to his memory. He took another moment to listen, but ( Read more... )

[From here.]For some reason, it was a lot harder to be on board with this idea of searching through the basement when Landel was the one who was sitting on his throne, wherever it was, and laughing at them as he watched them struggle through. Guy knew that it was the only real clue that they had and they couldn't back down just because of that, but ( Read more... )

Having a more or less normal conversation with Okita again was nice, Guy had to admit. It meant that even though both of them had been through some pretty horrific stuff, they could still bounce back and deal with things as they came. He could only hope that now that both of them had died and come back to life that they were pretty much off of ( Read more... )

[from here]Even the main hall was deserted. S.T. switched on his flashlight and took a look around. Yeah, it was empty. No roadkill, no other patients. If he ever made it home, he was never bitching at any of the girls who didn't want to do night ops alone again. It was different when you knew there were things out there in the darkness.

It wasn't often that Renji felt less like punching people in general as his day wore on. This was a new experience for him. A not unwelcome one, if he was being honest. And the fact that he felt less like punching Fai? Kind of mind-blowing. The sort of thing Zen masters would probably use as a kouan to reach an all-new level of non-punching ( Read more... )

After handling two conversations that had been difficult for completely different reasons, Castiel had to admit that he felt weary. It was not a sensation that was new to him; between Izaya showing far too much interest in his kind and Ruby simply being who she was, some peace and quiet was what he craved ( Read more... )

And so it seemed that everything had gone back to normal ( Read more... )
