EVENT 2: Time slows down for everything except for you. This lasts for the rest of the corridor of time. While you can understand what people are saying, it is also very slow. You can move at 2x the speed of everyone else, meaning you only have to wait a 5 OOC minute cooldown instead of 15. You can also attack 2x in a row where applicable.
He didn’t really notice much of anything, just this vague feeling of being perhaps, a little twitchy? Like nothing was quite moving fast enough but there was nothing really there to make that judgment clear. He looked around the room to see if he could find anything that might clarify this new and odd feeling and decided after an impatient moment that it was probably just some lingering effect from the pools. He HAD been pretty damned paranoid after a few drinks. Probably this was just …more paranoia, or whatever had convinced him that Chuck Norris in a Tutu was there to steal Cami’s honor.
Yeah…that pretty much had to be it, only logical answer really.
He fidgeted again, waiting for his chance to move again, it seemed to take forever before he could move onward to the next room. He wondered if there was logic or a pattern to the way the rooms moved. He wondered how many there were too but, you could spend a life time trying to figure that out – he decided, and the world already felt just a bit too slow for his liking.
Still quiet. Just the infuriating ticking. Cee sat down on the floor now and held her hands over her eyes. Maybe when she uncovered them, her sight would be back. Was it that easy?
Finally Finn was able to pass through the accursed room with it's trap door without tripping it up.
Progress!

Room 7 -back 2- Room 5- Jasper
He moved from one room to the next, it still felt too slow, he tapped his foot impatiently, more so to realize that the room seemed empty, dull, boring- GOD-.
He exhaled in frustration and ran a hand back and forth through his shortened hair in a frustrated 'scrub' that left it sticking out in rather curious directions and waited impatiently for the doors to slide enough for him to pass again
((Rolled to '7' again, returning to spot 5 next post))
Still in silence Cee just sat. Snap actually was fine with this, more accustomed to the still and silent ambush. Unfortunately, there was nothing to ambush.
No outside sound. No sight.
Nothing but the ticking.

Room 1 -> Room 5
Mmur nodded and reached back to finally take the priestess's hand, at least until they had moved from the relative safety of the maze's exit on to somewhere new. He dropped it as gently as he could manage after that, moving forward to examine their new surroundings without further comment. It might have normally been rude for him to go grabbing at someone of higher rank, but this was not an everyday situation and he felt better knowing Nkosazana was around. As far as this new space was concerned, it looked like nothing more than a room with a door at its far end.
"I suppose there's nothing to do but keep going," he said, mostly under his breath. It seemed to be his mantra now, but something had to keep him from throwing a minor tantrum. With a look back that he hoped was reassuring but was probably more apprehensive. Mmur walked through the next door and into another completely empty space.
The room shifted, moving under her finally and Cee lifted her head. As it set into place at the exit, the door appearing, her eyesight returned and the woman let out a cry, "JESUS CHRIST OH THANK GOD."
She ran for the door to escape the boring hellhole.

[ Space 5 again ] - Jasper
He lurched from one room to the next with a lack of patience that bordered of a caffeine and horror movie high. He wasn't actually sure if he'd have felt so edgy had he attempted the age old 'stupid' of snorting pixie sticks.
The damned room looked exactly the same. He decided in that moment that perhaps, just perhaps he was a little too hasty. Maybe he was going SO fast he messed up time!! Like Doctor Who said!! Wibbly wobbly timey wimey shifting kind of events. He'd jumped SO fast he'd well... Negated the movement! He was so pleased to have figured out the trick that he stuffed his hands in his pockets and rocked on his heels waiting for the next attempt at the door
((Onward!! To room 10! Roll in next post))

A new room at least, it was almost blessedly dull, no odd feeling in the pit of his stomach to replace or join that nagging sensation that the world was moving at the pace of a snail. Even when he paused to listen for that soft 'tic tick tick' sound of the 'somewhere down below' gears that seemed to be Somehow to propelled the rooms from place to place; they seemed slower too. Sluggish almost. He really hoped that Cami was alright, it had been so freaky to hear her screaming that way. God he hoped it hadn't on some level been the kiss. He took an edgy breath and stepped through the next door.

Room 24
He was just zipping along merrily now. Door, door, door, room, room, room, and nothing doing him any harm that he had noticed.
He did have to wonder just how much more of this he had to get through before he reached the other side. He could see how it might be possible to get stuck here forever.

The next room went as smoothly as the last at least. Nothing untoward to set him on edge, no screaming or many legged horrors burrowing under his skin. No bodies, no Chuck Norris, he was honestly a little disappointed with that, but really, he knew better than to complain. There was 'interesting' and then there was. "INTERESTING" after all, and frankly he wasn't quite up for the latter till he knew Cami was safe and sound.

Room 1 => Room 5
If Nkosazana was more concerned about rank, she might have been bothered by the hand that grabbed for hers.
As it was, she was nervous and would much rather know someone was there than was not. Even though the voices faded when she moved to the next area, they still left her uneasy. This whole place was leaving her uneasy. They really shouldn't be here. This wasn't where they belonged...
"Yeah, nothing to do but keep going." When Mmur let go, she flexed her fingers and moved towards what she hoped was the exit, keeping a fairly even pace with him. It seemed much easier to stay close when what was below was a terrifying drop that looked rather deadly. Unlike those War Horsemen, she didn't have the convenience of being able to fly to safety. In fact, she'd probably drop a whole lot like a rock.
Hopefully she wouldn't.

Room 5 -> Room 9
Mmur gave the drop between rooms a measuring glance as well, at least until he could no longer do so. As he passed through the door into the next room, the soldier's vision slipped away, going grey around the edges at first as if mocking him. Out of everything that had happened here so far, this was probably the most detrimental to the horseman. Not only was sight integral to his role, but it made his hobbies possible as well. He let out a faint growl as he lashed out, smacking his closed fist against the nearest wall. For once he hoped Nkosazana had found herself in a different room so that his outburst would remain private.
He took several deep breaths, measuring the situation in his head. This had to be temporary, just like everything else in this place. If he kept moving, things would turn out fine.
