((Entering))

Zel held Amarus' hand tightly in the dark. It was bad enough they couldn't talk or hear... To not be able to see her...

He squeezed her hand as they wandered in the darkness.

If they got separated now... Well they weren't going to.

Bumping into a small pillar, his free hand got covered in some liquid. If he could grunt he would, but instead he shook his hand off, and smeared it on his shirt.

He'd keep in mind to try and avoid this part of the room if he could, no sense in them getting soaked... Which he did anyway as Mar pulled him into the basin with her. He would have laughed but instead, he groped for his chain, then hers, and with practiced hands, linked them together to ensure they wouldn't get separated, before once more grabbing her hand.

Now they wouldn't have to worry.

So far, so good. Nobody had gone in to grab him again. In fact, he was starting to think that it hadn't even been a person that had thrown him - who would be that strong? Was there a monster, or a beast in the room with them? His other arm came around to hold the woman behind him, protecting both of her sides in case something snuck up around him to attack.

Hands, very soft and curious hands, were moving up his chest. His eyebrow rose so high it felt like it was going to jump ship and fly right off his face, but he stayed very still, as his charge tried to figure out who he was by touch. He didn't know her, but he knew she wasn't Mjoll. She smelled different - not bad, but different. And she was taller.. so much taller. And fuller, and gods in heaven was she running her fingers through his hair?!

Thank you, Voice. He silently thought to himself. You were so wrong. Coming up here did not find me disappointed.

He dared not explore her further, because he knew women. He understood how they reacted to an unwanted hand. He wanted her to keep touching him for as long as possible, and for that to happen, he had to stay as still as a trapped mouse. But if he could speak, he would have made the most inappropriate of sounds.

The Voice had promised him happiness. He would accept the gentle caress of a soft hand against his cheek as a fulfillment of that promise, anyday.

The best part about being blind, deaf and mute was that Amarus began to, in the dark, believe that Zel was an elaborate illusion. She squeezed his hand, as if to ask for reassurance, and reassert that she hadn't somehow swapped hands and that she wasn't walking hand in hand with some White Pawn or equally offensive creature.

Amarus' alliance was not skin-deep. Even knowing all she knew, it was very hard not to think of herself as a denizen of shadow. Even if she had, you know, fleshy bits and features now.

At the end of her latest blind search, she found herself on a set of stairs that led absolutely nowhere.

As Shun smacked her away, she felt confident that it was him. That was the right reaction, after all. She patted his shoulder, and turned around, keeping her hand very carefully pinched the skin on the back of his hand. She didn't want to lose track of him, out of all people - but at the same time, she didn't want to touch him anymore.

She'd learned her lesson, though. Reaching out with her hands to find others was.. dangerous. She didn't need another awkward moment, so instead she gave others awkward moments. By slowly lifting all of her tentacles out, fanning them around her, and using them to search for any more clues or nearby comrades.

She found one. At least, she thought she did. One tentacle slid along his shoulder, and then another. She tugged Shun, trying to inform him to follow her so she could walk in that direction, as the tentacles continued to slide around Rep's shoulders and neck.

Depending on your rank, this means that you can either attack twice in a row, use one move to heal and one to attack, or so on. However, be aware that by using this, the player's opponent now has two targets that they can hit, and therefore the enemy may also attack twice in that same battle phase. (UNUSED)

She spent most of her years in complete isolation, untouched and untroubled by the taint of corruption. Cleansing both the spiritual and physical aspects, she was then given to the King as an adviser, the whisper in the King's mind that made sure all of her choices were fair and uncorrupted. Now that the King no longer has need of her, she has chosen to abandon her spiritual purity and take up arms to protect her beloved Kingdom. She's just regular ol' Riley now. Be warned.

Zel felt the squeeze and squeezed back again, his grip warm and firm. He started to squeeze her hand in a rhythm to let her know he was still there...

He felt around with his other hand, hoping to find something... And stumbled, going to one knee and barely holding onto Amarus' fingers as she seemed to travel upward.

Nothing but grooves... Bah.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.Shun wasn't entirely certain how to feel right now. On one hand, he had found an ally, but it had to be done by basically feeling each other up. He didn't really want to touch Riley or be poked around by her in turn either. In the very least, he didn't accidentally grab somewhere inappropriate.

Even so, he still didn't have much of a clue as to what was going on around them. Pretty soon though, he felt a tug from Riley. Having no other leads, he carefully went on to follow her wherever she was headed.

Hopefully following her wouldn't end up with him getting shanked or anything like that.

[Entering!]

She half expected there to be more steps. But no, it was worse. She'd finally reached her destination... and lost her sight.

No sight.

No hearing.

No sounds.

She was so going to kill someone for all this! If she could, y'know, find someone. <******** you, voice. ********. You-

She smacked into something while flailing about blindly. What the hell?! Was that... a table? Yes. Yes that was a table. Her hands slid along it, seeking anything that could give her and idea of what this room looked like. Or of she was close to someone she could strangle. Though the only thing she found was... a book? It felt like a book. But she couldn't move it. And after several attempts at this, Fini gave up and braved the darkness again to try and locate... anything.

Blindy running into the table, Clyde would have winced in pain if he could. Maybe he had, but he wouldn't know if he made a sound at since he can't hear. Ow. Placing his hand on the table, wrinkled old pages greeted him.

...Pages?

Given the chance, he would have picked it up and looked over it. However, he can't see. The book was, sadly, useless and gently placed back on the table it originated from.

Feeling his way through the darkness (is it dark?), Clyde's hand came in contact with something cold. Metal. Tracing the shape of the metallic object, he could see that it had a flat surface, arms, a back...a chair? He kept tracing the chair, trying to get every detail down in hopes that it might have some sort of clue. At the base, all Clyde could find were the words: "Call my true name"

...Pardon? Call out its true name?

They can't speak. How can they?

[[entering from those dreaded stairs!]]

The last thing to leave her was her sight and Maple wasn't sure if she should have been surprised or not, though she had desperately hoped that everything else would have been returned to her. Her own thoughts were dreadful and the ponderings of the day were not much better.

She held out her hands, palms open to feel around. Recoiling every so often when she felt someone... or something pass her by. Maple wanted to apologize, but of course she really couldn't. So, she held herself back, hoping whatever it was would continue on its way - often realizing it was going to have to be her that moved.

Feeling around a few more times, passing by so many other objects, Maple found herself at the chair. It didn't feel like anything else she had bumped into. It felt cold and reminded of a little like metal, but it breathed and hummed like it was alive. There were others as well, feeling at it and.. perhaps sitting. She wasn't sure. Were there wings here too? (Lookin' at you Andrew). It came to her realization that it was a chair, perhaps a throne that so many of the others had gone on about.

A real one? A false one? The one that they heard about in the cave? She wasn't so sure, but inspecting it brought her to the engraving.

Call My True Name.

And in this situation, Maple had no idea how such a thing would be possible. She had found something in this dark abyss of .. whatever - at least it wasn't more stairs - but she was going to fail at this little riddle.

Sigh.

Perhaps she should move on.

Those stairs had been far too plentiful for her taste. Amarus, post-death, was exhausted and now sore and very soggy after the water incident. And then the empty stairs...

She felt for the chain that Zel had attached to her, when she'd fallen, and used it to find her way back to him. However, promptly after finding who she hoped was still Zel, she managed to trip over .. someone. She wasn't really sure who the hell it was, because she had only two senses left.

So far, accidental gropings were not helping her determine that this was Sun she had tripped over, and she was totally unwilling to lick them. That she would save for Zel. And even that thought rose into her mind unbidden and suddenly worried her: why would she think that in the first place?

In any case, Mar tripped and ended up tangling the chain up around the stranger, along with herself and Zel, whose lap she gently and carefully attempted to climb into, as if hiding on him from the stranger. Well, this was awkward.

She hoped that she would normally like whoever it was they were now pressed up against.

When Zel felt a the lithe body of Amarus crawl into his lap, he blinked for a moment, unsure if it was her or some random stranger. Moving his hands, he groped around on her body for her chain, and when he found it, he followed it for as best he could with his hands, which now were on either side of her body, until it went taunt and he let it go.

Okay so they were hooked on something...

Oh well, nothing to do about it now.

Wrapping his arms around her, he let his head rest gently on her shoulder, inhaling for a moment and noticing for the first time how good Amarus smelled. If he could have chuckled he would. Instead he just kissed the first bit of exposed skin his lips could find, before raising his head to peer out into the darkness, his arms around her protectively.

He really hoped he liked who they were chained with...

Sun was abruptly dragged out of her speculation when something collided with her. She immediately tried to move away, but ended up getting something wrapped around her. It felt like... a chain? Who?

Sun twisted one way, and the other, hands attempting to sort out a length of chain she couldn't see, and ended up pressing against someone. Or someones.

Well... this was interesting. She lifted a hand to see if she could find out some more information about whomever she was now stuck with, and wound up sticking a finger up a nostril. She immediately removed it and wiped her finger off on her tunic.

Eeeeewwwww...

Now she was glad she couldn't see them!

The final door had said that she would be sacrificing her sight, but... being blind was much different than what she expected. Everything was pitch black, absolute nothingness. She was deaf, mute, and even blind. How she was going to see The Voice and attack it?

Not a clue.

"There once was a Great King and he commanded a Great army. When he passed away he left in his place a void, which could not be fulfilled by all who loved and were created by him. His creations however, could not see the King's legacy go unfulfilled, and thus sought to find his heir, his successor. From seven candidates there would be one crowned the True King, the heir to the Great King's place. He who received such a title, would receive power, and the Pride of the Great King."

Pride...what did that even mean? She didn't have much time to ponder the cryptic tale before the floor suddenly shook, rumbling as it sunk down and unseen pillars rose up. This was just getting stranger and stranger...

"What good is it now, the long dream has ended. There is no True King, none will ever surpass, or even shadow in mimicry the greatest King of all. This is my Pride and my downfall and to it, I admit defeat. Find me, if you can, and I will deliver my last promise."

Well...best to start looking then, right? Something to do with Pride...

Fumbling around in the darkness, she found her hand on something soft. Hmmm...

She gave it a squeeze (it seemed logical at that confused moment), before brushing brightly. That was flesh...and it was round. Ooooops.

Retreating rather quickly, she stumbled on a ridge that lead to nothing.

Well, then...

Groping around more in the darkness (and avoiding Xiu's butt, thank goodness), Gene eventually came to a table.

Well, it felt like a table. The surface was smooth and flat, and upon further examination, she found it had legs. This had to be a table...

Yeah, it was a table - there was a book on it.She assumed it was a book - an old and aged one at that - by the soft butterfly kisses that graced her fingers as her hand grazed what she thought were pages.

That was nice and all, but not what she'd come for.
