Bastion took them four at a time, like a REAL MAN. He fell flat on his face at the 50th step, when the Voice spoke in his mind, the first real sound he'd heard since he'd gotten there. It sounded like it was scolding him for taking arms up. But he wasn't! He wanted to tell the Voice that he wasn't, he was there to take him up on his offer, but he couldn't speak a word of it.
It was futile to speak to someone while at the same time taking their voice.

And the stairs didn't really seem like they were ready to end.
The silence was rather unnerving. Sherry decided she didn't like it. And though she told herself not to think about it too much, she found that she was thinking about it...which was not helpful in this situation at all.

The faerie had grumbled angrily and quite loudly until she entered the stairwell. Then she stopped, but only because she couldn't hear herself anymore. Which was not good. So naturally even though she couldn't hear herself, Belladonna continued to spew angry phrases and insults, though mostly they were directed toward... Well, everything she saw. At least it let her know her vocal chords were working...

Imryn couldn't help but give a small sigh seeing all the stairs waiting there. Lovely... as if this wasn't going to be tedious enough. There were a few others climbing, but no sounds to be heard, not even from her sigh? Was this another ploy by The Voice to keep them at odds?
No matter... better get started.

The silence, unnerving as it was, was not nearly as unnerving as The Voice suddenly speaking at her from no where.
"I...I..." she responded out of habit. She didn't know what to say. She hadn't known. She still didn't know. She was confused, and.... "Fine."
She didn't know what the Voice wanted. She had fought for her King. And now, she wanted...to live. To say goodbye. To learn. So what if she would never be the strongest. She still existed. For now.
So she climbed.

'To enter, sacrifice all that you hear' Ignoring it, he pushed past the door. That didn't bother him. He didn't want to hear anything anymore. Everything was all lies.
All he wanted was the truth.

There seemed to be no end to these stairs, well she couldn't really say that since she just got started. But they looked endless. Not being able to talk didn't bother her much, as she was naturally quieter to begin with.

Well now that she was walking up the stairs, the faerie wished she was no longer a faerie, but her real, witchy self. That way she could abscond with a broom and be done with this nonsense. And it would have meant this nightmare was over... That would be nice... But such a thought of how lovely it would be to return to normal only served to slow her down, which she realized belatedly.

If the only way to tell the Voice he wasn't trying to fight, was to get to the top, then Bastion would get to the top.
Even if it was really, really exhausting.

His climb continued, step by step. The stairs trembled slightly, and he paused, a voice penetrating through the silence.
"You dare take the powers of the others, when I created you, gave you purposed, and promised you a Kingdom. You dare raise your punitive claws against me? Even reforged you will never be on the same level that I am."
What power? He was but a pawn to this game, a mere discardable playing piece. He ignored the voice and continued on.

Now she really hustled, now she easily traversed the stairs up and up and up. With a burst of energy she began to skip steps, hurrying with purpose now. The Voice was back, angry and bitter and being rather silly about all of this. "Do not talk to me about levels, I am currently suffering at the hands of a massive game of Dungeons and Humans! And its your fault!" So maybe reasoning with The Voice was not such a good idea...

Her mind was full of thoughts, as a mind should be. But her thoughts were confusing and troubled. The silence wasn't really helping, as it was still distracting.
Still, Sherry climbed. It was really the only thing she coudl do. At least, that's what she kept telling herself. Up, up, up.

Uru kept his moderate pace up the steps, Maple was in good view. His mind fell back into thoughts: the kingdoms, the Silver King, and the Voice... Snapping his mind back to reality, he immediately noticed that the little girl had gotten a lot further in a short period of time. Picking up his pace, he began skipping steps. It would not be wise to lose sight of his companion.
As he neared the threshold to the next floor, time seemed to slow for him as it returned again. Angered he mouthed back.
"Your harm was your presence in our lives."
Time returned as he sprinted onward to find Maple.
