She welcomed the affection from her partner, and the greetings from her team. "I agree, having you next to me would definitely make going through that a little easier." She still felt that lingering chill inside, but she shook it off and watched as the team started to cross. She was a little hesitant to follow so closely behind them, and stayed back to see if she could figure a safe way across.
Whisper watched the tiles go up and fall back down, trying to see if there was a pattern to any of it. Unfortunately it seemed completely random, which meant this became much, much harder. Things were never easy, because that would mean that they could move forward without worry. As Natalia stepped forward, Wisp closed her eyes and waited for a hissing and crunching sound, but there was none. Thank goodness, for once they caught a small break. It was her turn, and she knew it. There was no avoiding it. "Alright...here I go." Whisper stepped forward onto her tile, and tensed up, waiting to be launched into the ceiling.

Alright she admitted it, her heart was beating against her chest as she stood on her chosen tile. Each of them had moved to claim one and LW checked each of her sides to make sure none of them had been launched. Okay good. They were all safely in one piece. But now what? Looking ahead, her tail twitched as she studied the room. They had to get from these tiles to the ones across the way then? So that meant they had to move forward. Oh Jack...
The she-wolf groaned and crossed her arms. Aside from the fact that steaming hot water could launch their designated tile into the ceiling, this seemed too simple. And none of them had had any issues while walking out onto the tiles to begin with. So could they walk anywhere?
"I...I'm going to try moving to the tile in front of me." LW informed her group. Was her voice just a tad squeaky? Maybe just a little. "I have this...funny feeling this isn't as simple as 'crossing the room'." But then, she was biased in having been through quite the experiences on the last two field trips. Swallowing, LW hesitantly slid her foot forward to the tile in front of her. Then eased the rest of her body onto the tile. Nothing happened. At least not to her tile. The one right next to her though....LW squeaked and covered her head as the tile right next to her was launched into the ceiling, some of water spraying on her. Jackdammit it was definitely hot!
Yep. Ren was totally going to kick her butt after this. But at least she knew they could move forward!

He supposed the ghouls had their point, though the idea was still on his mind as he watched, one by one, as (seemingly) random tiles went flying up. Were their weights really making such an impact on the bubbling water below? Gulp. Yeah, Mort really wished he could fly now.
"Just one at a time," he thought aloud in concordance with their responses, voice shaky and yet loud enough for his team to hear over the constantly hissing steam. Once more bracing himself (especially after the close calls with Natalia and LW's steps), the zombie moved forward one tile. At first he didn't hear anything out of the ordinary, or at least not until the tile in front of Mei exploded upwards.
emotion_0A0 emotion_sweatdrop Had he caused that? Fffffffffff-
"Sorry sorry sorry sorry!" he hastily apologized.
What was this room supposed to be testing anyway? How easy it was to hurt your teammates on accident or something? It was horrible way to learn and a horrible thing to learn!

Watching everyone's progress, she was pleased to see everything going so well--unless you counted the close call with Natalia. Pausing a moment, she was about to step forward when water burst from the ground in front of her, sending the tile flying towards the ceiling. "Eee!" Staring wide eye'd at what could have very well been her stuck to the ceiling, she waved to Mort to reassure him. "I-Its okay, I'm fine. Just another close call."
If she wasn't wary before, she sure was now. Should she keep going straight..? Or should she move over a tile? Jack damn! Guessing games were not her stronghold! Glancing about, she bit her lip and stepped over one tile. Well..hopefully this path was a safer choice--not likely. It was random after all..

The she-wolf glanced back over her shoulder to make sure Natalia was alright as well. That had been the tile in front of the werelemur. And another tile had erupted in front of Mei. Was it all random? Or...or were they the cause of this? Oh dear Jack. That would not surprise her one single bit.
"I-I'm alright as well." She called over to Mortimer, voice still a little high. "One at a time seems...best." It seemed the less likely way for them to be the cause of a team member being hurled upwards.
Tail swishing, LW moved forward to the tile in front of her. She braced herself, afraid it was going to erupt with her standing on it, but she seemed to have chosen well again. Blowing out a puff of breath, the she-wolf gave her teammates a thumbs up. "A-Another tile down. We're doing good...right?" Jack she hoped so. And really really hoped there was nothing else that jumped out at them while in this room. Wouldn't that just be appropriate for an Amityville field trip?
The tile next to her erupted and LW hunkered down yet again. Jackdammit that had been cloooose again!

((Going to take the first number I rolled up there, and this one if that is alright. So F,2 triggered. D: OMG NOOOOO))
The candy that rolled at her feet was nearly crushed beneath them, only lifted and inspected warily when Natalia sighed in relief. Furr and features were still ablaze with fright when the monster finally turned to the others and lifted the item for them to see. What...the jack? Perhaps there were other things to be found on the tiles they chose.
She then focused in on each and every head that made up their team, counting the lot and murmuring a thank goodness as each seemed to be in tact. Although their movements seemed to trigger random occurrences, it could very well all be tied together in some strange way. And with each new move they took, Natalia was growing increasingly confident that no one would step on a tile that would hurt another. So far things seemed good! Confidence was good, right? Perhaps this whole exercise was about staying cool, calm, and collected under pressure...
Yeah! Definitely.
...It was in this false hope that the lemur would trigger the very tile beneath Mei's feet to shoot up. Orange eyes widened in fear, the 'NOOOO" That resounded from her throat high pitched.
((F,5 to E,5
Edited: Totally forgot we can't move Diagonally! ))

Another close call for Mei, perhaps, but her step made something worse than a close call - rather, a direct hit.
"Is okay, jusWAAAAAAAAAAAASHGGHSAHGSDHFKLJDSHF!!"
The tile beneath him erupted before he could step forward again. With a cut-off yelp the zombie hit the ceiling and was brought back down again as the jet lessened.
"Waaagh . . ." Groaning and shivering (some of the water had gotten on him and, despite the heat in the room, he was certainly shaking), Mort picked himself back up and tried to wave at the ghoul to show that he was still a-okay.
Well, until Mei hit the ceiling after Natalia, in which case the living doll probably didn't get to see that part. Mort stared horrified as well, for even he could remember that LW had stepped on that tile not long before without activating Mei's very tile. What was going on?
"So random . . ." he muttered as he crawled to the next tile before him. "Don't like . . . Should have used packs . . ."
How was a death knight supposed to protect from randomness?

Holy s**t, this room was no joke. They needed to get across, and they needed to do it fast. Admittedly they would need to be thrust into the ceiling many times, but that would be a huge possibility if they didn't move their asses. This was a tough challenge, and Whisper had every intention of defeating it. Not only did she want to prove to her team that she could handle it, but she also wanted to prove it to Red. She hadn't really talked about it with anyone, but she admired Red. She wanted to be strong like her, she wanted to be respected like her. On top of all that, she would prove to her family that she was better then her father said she was.
Time was ticking away, and she decided to step forward. "We'll be fine guys, we just have to keep moving. Just keep on hoping that they don't all explode and destroy us."

Things seemed to be going quite well for the group. She was beginning to think that they might even get lucky and cross without a problem. That was until..an unfortunate move. "Ah shi--" Before she could get another word out, Mei was sent flying into the ceiling with a loud crack. Falling back to the ground, she clutched at her arm and analyzed the damage done. "Ow.." There was a good sized crack, but nothing that would keep her from moving on. Seconds after, Mort has ended up taking the same trip she did---right into the ceiling. So much for thinking this was easy.
Rising to her feet, she rubbed her arm subconsciously and waved to the other members. "Just a scratch. You okay Mort?" Dumb question. Turning back to the task at hand, she was more hesitant about which tile to step on.

Mort's blow, while just as serious, did not draw a screech out of the ghoul. She didn't want the others to get hurt, she didn't want Mei nor Mort to be injured any more than they already were...but it was bound to happen, and Natalia was slowly beginning to accept it. To both of the newly wounded students, the monster waved her arms and pumped her fists.
"W-we can do it! Just keep moving!"
When she noticed Whisper hopping onto a tile, Natalia stalled...but eventually she would move forward, arms crossing one another anxiously.

"Mort! Mei!" Oh Jackdamnit! Their tiles had been triggered and both took a trip up to the ceiling. LW winced as each hit in turn, almost tempted to run and help them by leaving her current tile. Except, when she attempted to head in a diagonal fashion, she realized she couldn't. And so far, they had only managed to move tile by tile. Well skulls! They must only be able to move one 'step' at a time. Lovely.
"Are you guys alright?!" The she-wolf called, glancing towards Natalia and Whisper as well. Were they alright? They hadn't been launched towards the ceiling too, had they? She heard Whisper and nodded her agreement, really hoping the hellhound was right.
Shivering, LW took a deep calming (yeah right) breath and moved forward another tile. She couldn't really be blamed for cringing as she put her weight fully on the tile. First off, every tile she'd stepped on so far, the one next to her had erupted. Second, two of their team had now been sent rushing up to smash into the ceiling. Thirdly, did they even know for sure that making it to the other side would be safe? Stop thinking so grimly! Giving herself a shake, tail and all, LW stood fully on her chosen tile, holding her breath and pretending like her heart was not doing it's Jack damned best to escape her chest.

"We are doing pretty good guys, I know we'll be fine. A few bumps and bruises never hurt anyone." That wasn't totally true, but she hoped it was reassuring. After all, a positive attitude always helps. The steam coming from under the tiles was uncomfortably hot, and she had been sweating profusely for some time now. Well, wasn't that just dandy...
She took in a deep breath, and stepped to the next tile in front of her. Please please please don't explode....
