Night 60: Underground Lake

Dec 28, 2011 11:40

[From here.]Just like the last time, Guy's feet hit the uneven sand as he took in that unmistakable smell of dampness. This area was almost dead quiet when compared to the hallway that they'd just come from, but he still could make out the lapping of water and the creaking of the dock. All of those sensations just reminded him of the fact that they ( Read more... )

The first time they teleported to the underground beach, Anise had been thrown off her feet. This time, she was ready for the shift to more uneven ground, and managed to keep standing with only a slight wobble after the transition. She looked around with a small smile, glad to see the others made it safely too.

Guy's words were answered with a firm nod, and Anise started walking after him. So it was already time to meet the skeleton...

"It's my turn, right? I should probably go with..." Her voice trailed off. With her flashlight still tucked under her arm, she was able to bring her fingertips to her throat. It was going to be weird for someone as talkative as Anise to go a whole night without talking. But sight was out of the question, and hearing would make it hard to follow group plans or notice danger. "Well, it's just for a little while, so I guess it's okay!" she quickly added on a lighter note.

As nauseating as the sudden shift could be, the transition wasn't as jarring this time around. Claude's feet sunk into the sand as he quickly regained his balance, and his eyes readjusted to the dark, moist cavern. He had a feeling they'd warp here several times more in the future, so it was probably just as well that he was starting to adjust. Glancing at both of his friends, Claude was relieved to find they'd made it here along with him ( ... )

It didn't take them long to cross the sandy area and reach the docks, although Guy made sure to move his flashlight around them in case the ferryman decided to ambush them again. It didn't seem like the skeleton meant them any true harm. Instead, he just liked to string them along and trick them. That didn't mean that Guy wanted to be startled, though. Still, the ferryman was their only way across, which meant they had to be at least somewhat polite. It was a good thing that Guy had some experience with being civil toward people he didn't like ( ... )

Anise turned to face Claude when he voiced his objection, looking a little surprised. "Huh? But..." She'd fully expected to be the one to pay the toll this time, but now that he mentioned it, she could understand where he was coming from. They didn't even get across the lake last time, did they?

She pressed her lips together, reluctant to agree. Anise felt like she needed to pull her weight more, especially after they rescued her before. But he had a point, and Anise couldn't come up with a good argument against it. "... Okay," she eventually agreed with a sigh, then looked over to Guy. "Yeah, it can't hurt to ask... probably." There was no telling what that creepy skeleton might do, but she could always have hope.

Speaking of whom... where was that creepy skeleton? Anise checked over her shoulders. Maybe he was trying to sneak up on them again.

[from here, timeskipped after the other group]Life's a beach, and then you die. There was a fucking lake down here. S.T. couldn't see it -- there'd been a lot more torchlight in the ballroom -- but he could sure as hell hear it. And smell it ( ... )

Indy gave up on sorting out who Freddy Kreuger was. Dent's reply suggested that he wasn't an immediate threat, which put him at the bottom of the list of things that mattered right now. He kept quiet the rest of the way down and focused on keeping an eye out and staying in step with the others. It was easier tonight, although pain still washed through his chest whenever he moved. Still, the now-familiar trip down went pretty quickly--and what was better, uneventfully. Until they went through the black doors on the other side of the ballroom ( ... )

Harvey had been a little annoyed by Depth Charge's insistence on getting the door open when he had been handling it just fine, but in the end he'd allowed it because it meant he got to conserve his own energy and didn't have to bend his metal pipe even more out of shape ( ... )
