(F1 to E1)
"It doesn't look very long, there are several rows and columns," she explained as she shifted a bit and then moved to the next tile trying to get a better look around. The constant explosions made it hard for her to think.
It would be easier if she knew there was a connection, for sure, between what tile set off what area but she didn't.
Lattice looked ahead and seemed to try and count the tiles ahead of where she stood, "There are four tiles ahead...I think."

[F2 to E2]
There was a loud WHOOSH, and then an even louder scream. The tile Vieve was on trembled just as she was about to move on, and then shot right up.
For a terrible, terrible second that felt like infinity, Vieve felt herself crushed between the tile and the ceiling, and it hurt. As the tile settled back into place, the salamander simply lay there; while no bones had been broken, she felt as if she couldn't move.
... But she had to, and soon- what if the tile moved up, again? What if this time, it slammed into the ceiling hard enough to completely crush her bones? Some part of her brain kicked the rest of it back into action, and still shaken, she scrabbled onto the next tile, hoping it would be safe.
Where were the rest of her teammates? She had the feeling Lattice had said something like 'four more tiles'; that meant they were almost halfway there. Picking her sodden, ink-covered self up into a slouchey sort of standing position, she looked towards where she assumed was ahead of her. Better to ask, though.. just in case.
"Am I facing the right direction, Lattice?" Her voice was still a little shaky, but she had to sound strong anyway. There was no way she'd be the first one to lose the game. She was going to be the first one out of here.

((E,6 to D,6))
There was a distinct lack of the crashing noise of a tile slamming into the ceiling – which could only mean one thing...
Then a scream, and there was an unmistakable thud from one of them landing back down onto the ink covered floor.
“Are you alright?” the frost demon called out to the room. That sounded bad. Really, Really Bad.
There was a moment of hesitation for the frost demon. “Alright.....I'll be taking another step, be careful everyone” she continued.
Lattice had mentioned she was 4 tiles away from the exit.... so did her previous move bring her closer? Not wanting to risk over-turning and facing the wrong direction, Edel took a calculated side-step to the right again.
The crash came from the tile diagonally right from the front. Boy was she cutting it close.

[E,5 -> E,4]
The paranoid part of her made her shuffle to the side rather than to the front before she stopped, listening out for Lattice's voice, "Oh? That's not... Too bad." At least they were making some form of progress and nobody had been hur-
"Vieve?! A-are you okay? Can you walk?" She yelled, trying to make sure that she could be heard over the sound of tiles slamming onto the ceiling... Then again, the fact that Vieve could speak, coupled with the fact that she wasn't crying out in pain, should mean that she wasn't injured too badly right?
"Let's hurry..."

Lattice flinched guiltily as she turned and saw then heard as Vee crashed up against the ceiling thanks to her stepping toward a new tile. Oh she felt horrible. Words could not describe, "I'm sorry! Are you okay? I'm so sorry," she called out softly her fingertips twitching and poking at each other out of simple nervousness. The question distracted her as she responded, "Yes you are facing the right way!"
Hopefully no one would get turned around.
"Y..Yes hurrying would be good," She murmured feeling nerves pull at her being as she moved forward to the next tile hoping it wouldn't happen again. Other crashes had filled the air thankfully with no one on them!

As she waited for an answer from her (possibly) injured teammate, Lizzy took a few steps forward to try to hurry their journey to the other side of the room; the fact that the tiles were being tossed into the air at random meant that any of the tiles could be next. It was... Like a deadly game of chance?
"It's not your fault, Lattice..." She frowned, fridgeting in the darkness; if only she could see where the ghoul was to give her a hug to help calm her nerves... And her own, of course, "The tiles seem to be exploding upwards at random... So it's not anyone's fault!"
[C4 exploded!]

Lattice frowned a bit as she looked toward Lizzy but she didn't dare to stray from her path just to make a path toward Lizzy for a hug or just to hold her hand (as much as she dearly wanted to). The dark haired ghoul just turned her gaze forward, "It...It just happened right as I stepped on that tile," Lattice said softly.
Just keep moving. Just keep moving. Staying still was bad.
She was trying not to be unnerved by the tile hitting on the ceiling from when Lizzy last moved. Please let the room be over soon. Being covered in ink was a good thing but the rest of it she could do without.

"I'm fine," the salamander grumbled. She didn't need anyone to tell her to hurry, either- she knew that well enough, with what had just happened to her. It wouldn't be fair to blame it on Lattice, Lizzy had a point- but it seemed like whenever someone took a step, a tile randomly exploded.
Would this next move of hers, perhaps, affect someone else? She cautiously moved on to the next square ahead of her. It would be fine as long as she kept going in a straight line, right?
"Three more squares now, Lattice?" As far as she was concerned, the other two didn't matter so much in this room- she just had to focus on Lattice, who actually knew what was going on. If she wasn't just pretending to know, anyway.. Hmm.

The other voices began to speak with concern and a sense of urgency. Now that one of them had a taste of what it was like to get smacked up and smooshed against the ceiling, yes, it'd be best if they hurried. Just then, the tile behind her smashed right into the ceiling, reaffirming the thoughts of moving on quickly, now.
Edel cautiously placed a foot on the tile to her right once more. Honestly, if the room weren't so black with ink, or if they hadn't been so blind here (with the exception of Lattice of course), the frost demon was certain she looked ridiculous crab-walking to the other end. Then again, this should be the least of her concerns.
Was she nearing the exit? She wondered.

At the question from Vee she took a moment to gaze around at her groupmates thoughtfully counting out tiles as best as she could, "Vee is three tiles away from where she stands, so is Lizzy. Edel has two from where she stands. After I move forward I will be one away from the end."
With that she took a step forward hoping that someone wasn't standing on a tile that was about to shoot up.
((~*Nothing happened.*~))

There was an odd sense of calm and silence as the regular crashing noises paused for a moment. Had anyone made a move? Lattice had just announced that she did, could it be that some tiles do not trigger off others?
However, the thought seemed trivial to the fact that she was just two tiles away from the other side. She postulated that it would be ideal for her to get there as soon as possible, so that there would be one less person triggering off this one sadistic JACK of a puzzle.
She did not just say that.
Edel toed her way onto the next tile on her right. The crash came from the far front and right of her this time – that was a relief, since no one had started screaming yet. Just one or two more steps to go and she'd be cleared of this. The frost demon wished that there was some other way for her to help, but right now it would be all down to luck.

Lizzy was unable to hear Lattice due to how soft she was, but she stood firm on the idea that it was nobody's fault... Well, nobody but the school's, sending them on this field trip.
She was actually rather surprised to hear that she was one of the ones lagging behind, and quickly scooted forward in a bid to keep up with the rest of the team. A tile somewhere behind exploded upwards when she moved, and she heaved a sigh of relief; there was nobody behind her, according to Lattice, so they were safe!
"Just keep walking, just keep walking..." She started to chant, trying to ignore how unnerving quiet the room was when there was nobody talking. Her little chant which soon became a song as she added a little tune to it, "Walking, walking..."
[F6 went BOOM. ]

As Lizzy moved forwards, so did she. The other girl had started singing, some cutesy tune she'd picked up from a cartoon or something.. She couldn't deny it was catchy, but right now, Lizzy's voice echoing around the huge chamber just.... sounded...
Really scary.
"Moving on," she announced, in an attempt to distract the spider demon. Was the next tile safe? Hopefully....

((B1 to A1))
The tile that was right in front of her went up suddenly causing her to start and take a small step back out of shock. Lattice clenched her hands into fists at her side as she watched it go up and then go back down with a heavy crash that seemed to vibrate up along her body making her tremble uneasily.
...Move forward or go to the tile. She didn't know what she wanted to do. She fidgeted for a long moment before she took in a deep breath and moved forward. No guts. No glory.
"We can make it," she said simply trying to not only motivate herself but the others as well.
