It was luck. At least, that was what Eva would tell someone if they were to ask how both she and Otto had managed to step on a safe tile this time around. She let out a sigh of relief when the floor beneath their feet didn't change, turning to shoot Otto a small, reassuring smile (even if she wasn't feeling so reassured herself). They had to keep moving.
Lifting her foot, she held it over the tile to her left, and then to her right. Finally, she settled for stepping straight forward on the..."E" with a dot.

This time, both tiles flipped over, the first one leading into a deep ten-foot pit of scorpions right under Otto. Only clinging to the tile for dear life, and using it as leverage up very slowly would save him from the ordeal, though the tile was slowly but surely slipping downwards, his feet already dangling ...
Eva would find herself in another predicament, as suddenly, she fell into a pit underneath, the walls a good ten feet above her as the trap tile closed shut. There was a light hissing noise as sand began to file into the pit above her, threatening to suffocate her.
Vaguely, if both trainees strained very hard, they could hear Caelius telling the other Hunters that these traps' delay times were too slow, and that they should probably fix these mistakes before he went to find another two trainees, as this was the third time they messed up now.
OOC: Round 3 - OTTO AND EVA need to save themselves from the trap pits! Roll a 100-sided dice until they escape from their trap. Match the dice roll to the result below: SAND PIT:-1-20: The sand continues to file in, and you nearly choke on it as it threatens to drown you whole - 21-40: You hear a hissing noise in the sand... are those... poisonous snakes? You better dig upwards, fast. - 41-60: You struggle hard to "climb" upwards with the sand, though the sand is filing faster now, nearly covering you whole. -60 -80: You manage to get on top of the pile of the sand, but the trap door tile above is firmly shut. You hit it a few times, but it doesn't move. - 81-100: In a moment of pure luck, you manage to climb out of the sand and break open the trap door. You are free! Though you should probably take a moment to recover before selecting another tile... though once they are ready please select the NEXT TILE OF CHOICE SCORPION PIT:1-20: You hear a scuttering noise as more scorpions fill the pit below. Don't look down..don't look down.. 21-40: The tile begins to tip precariously further, making you almost lose your grip 41-60: You try to slowly get a good grip on the edge of the tile to push yourself upwards, but you nearly slip and fall into the pit 61-80: The combination of the tilting tile and the scorpions leave you paralyzed with fear. 81 -100: In a last minute dash of adrenaline and pure effort, you manage to use the tile to hoist yourself out of the pit and back towards safety (relatively). You should probably take a second to rest before selecting another tile... though once they are ready please select the NEXT TILE OF CHOICE

Oh my god, you have got to be kidding me.
She had barely managed to catch a glimpse of Otto as she fell into her pit, noting that the tile under the teen had shifted as well. Had they both been thrown into the same predicament?
The sand was pooling in fast. With Chara encouraging her to stay calm, Eva tried to push herself up to the top of the sand, attempting to use the walls of the pit to push herself up. Unfortunately, the smooth walls provided absolutely no support, and the sand was weighing her down too heavily.
This was not the way that she wanted to go.

And then there was a hiss from the sands below.
...
Oh god.
Her mind flashed back to the last mission, the one with all those snakes. At least at that time, there had been more room to move--more room to escape--but she was currently trapped in a closed off pit. The only way she could move to get out of here was up, and even then, that was a difficult task.
Losing a bit of her calm composure from before, Eva dug her way upwards.

With a bit of effort (and with the potential threat of the snakes right beneath her feet), Eva somehow managed to make her way up to the top of the sand, grimacing as her hands met the closed trap door above her head. This wasn't the type of place where she could summon Chara, unfortunately, so just did the second best thing she could and threw as much of her weight as she could up at the door.
And somehow, it opened for her.
She didn't hesitate, immediately pulling herself out of the pit. Head down and eyes clenched shut, she gasped for air. She had come way too close to being buried alive just now.
And now...what about Otto? She shot a concerned look over to the teen's tile.

Otto's heart leapt into his mouth as he felt the tile move from under him. Last minute reaction aided his survival, gripping onto the edge of the tile and preventing him from falling into the pit. As he struggled to keep hold, he noted the horrid predicament he was in. Scorpions. He felt all air leave his lungs as he watched tem fill the pit. Dear God, just what kind of test was this? The teen caught the conversation between Caelius and the other hunters, and his blood began to boil. That dirty rat! He was using them as guinea pigs! Quote: 41-60: You try to slowly get a good grip on the edge of the tile to push yourself upwards, but you nearly slip and fall into the pit Otto gritted his teeth tightly and tried to pry himself upward. Slowly, as not to draw attention to himself to what lay below. His palms began to sweat, and with a yelp, Otto almost fell into the pit. <>Shut the f---<>

With a rush of adrenaline racing through his veins, Otto hoisted himself up and out of the pit. With a few shaky breaths, Otto looked to check where Eva was. She seemed fine. Dirty, but fine. Otto then cast a look to Caelius. He cast him a seething glare, knowing full well Caelius didn't really give a s**t, which just made him more angry. There wasn't anything Otto could do about him. He let out a breath, let himself calm down ever so slightly, and moved onto another tile of doom. It kind of looked like a sword, which could be good or bad. [[Moving to C3]]

He was out. Thank god he was out. Letting out a shaky sigh of relief, Eva shook off some of the sand, squared her shoulders, and took a step forward to the next tile. A tile that looked like...a line...over a pedestal, maybe?
It didn't really matter. Really, she just hoped that they would make it to--and off of--the fifth tile alive.

"Sir," the technician continued to argue, "With all respect, we've already set the...." He suddenly trailed off, eyes boggling as both Eva and Otto climbed out of the traps and stepped on their promised last tile.
The Death Hunter leader turned around just in time to see both of them almost get skewered by a series of arrows, leaning over for a second with relative interest, most likely wondering if they finally died.
"Hm." As they were still breathing, he decided it was clearly the fault of the technician. "Unimpressive. The issue here is clearly a lack of a stronger stimulus during the reinforcement phase."
"Sir, if we raise the settings any higher, people will probably die before they actually learn the correct glyph seque-"
"- I was under the impression, judging from your words and research that the issue with Hunters not learning the correct glyph sequence was due to their negligence, especially regarding the correlation between these glyphs and their immediate survival."
"Yes but-"
"-Then you will continue reworking these panels until they work correctly to make sure Hunters are learning the proper glyphs as pertinent to their immediate ******** survival."
A pause. "I will see what I can do, sir."
There was the sound of angry footsteps - not too much of a guess as to who that was - storming out of the place. The suddenly stopped right in front of the door. "Get someone to clean this up, preferably before the ******** trainees stain the tiles."
The door slammed close behind them. OOC - A few days later, Otto and Eva will find in their rooms an intermediate trainee coat. It actually looks a little used, as if someone had worn them before the two, and is that a blood stain on the back of the - nah, it's just their imagination.
