Night 57: Grand Ballroom

Jul 16, 2011 23:50

Taura jogged down the stairs, and looked around. The room seemed far too large to belong down here. More benefits of being at the bottom of a gravity well -- space was cheap, and air was free. The fountains wouldn't be out of place in a fancy hotel lobby, though the rest of the decor was a little macabre ( Read more... )

By the time Erika hopped out of the ballroom, wincing in pain and keeping her foot off of the ground, Sync undoubtedly would have wondered what happened and maybe assumed the worse. That was why she made sure the shield item they received from the Sphinx was in full view so he would keep his comments on something more important. God, was it a mistake to bring everyone along with her?! She would rather have the company of Lion and Battler at this point!

"Here, we got it! Ow... Let's just hurry up and get to the last room. I'm sick of this place!"

Gone was the enthusiasm and bravado she displayed in the beginning of the night when it looked like she was ready to take on the mysteries of the basement. Of course, her desire was still there, if only so she could punish Noah and the other boy for making her look like a fool. Everyone would pay for ruining her intellectual time... Everyone!

Depending on the door they chose in the next hall, Sync figured the waiting time would range from a few minutes to the rest of the night. But while he wasn't all that impressed with Erika's choice of partners, there wasn't much doubt that her pride would make predicting her choices very easy. In that case the Sphinx would've been their next challenge, and unless she blurted the first thing that came to mind they'd be in and out faster than he could settle down.

Granted, having them all die the in the end would be somewhat satisfying as it was equally grating.

The God-General turned towards the set of doors as soon as they opened, raising an eyebrow at the frazzled teen and the other two occupants who seemed more than happy about the girl's annoyance.

"I take it everything went well?" Gracing the group with a grin, Sync casually shrugged before making his way to the other side of the Ballroom. Better they get it over with so the real fun could start.

As amusing as it was that the youngest kid looked like he was on the verge of suffering some sort of fit, Gabriel felt along the lines of Erika at this point. Landel had a devious mind, he'd give him that. No obstacle courses or three-legged races, but a sphinx, leaving their (read: his) only feeling of accomplishment in the shape of a dinky shield. He, of course, had no idea it even had a point. Unless he became Captain America, it wasn't going to be the least bit handy.

He was sure there was a purpose there somewhere, sure. He just wanted to get there already. The least Landel could've thrown in was canned laughter. He deserved it ( ... )

Pointless endeavors aside, the thoroughly unwanted and unplanned trip had compensated him threefold with that incident; there existed nothing like humiliation when it came to justice. While he had an inkling that the girl was going to murder him at the next available opportunity, he continued to snicker all the way back to the ballroom. Nigredo tried to be thoughtful (kind of) and hid his wide grins behind a well-placed fist, but when she kicked the door hard enough to result in a slight limp, he lost his polite facade and openly giggled ( ... )
