Seiryuu, Senshi of the East Inventory: 1 Attack Potion - 50HP Damage HP: 15/20 Dice: 1d8
Seiryuu didn't know what to think, so as she was pulled away, she reached to punch whoever it was that was trying to move her but she saw blue eyes, black hair and tanned skin of her teammate, her jaw going slack.
What the hell, she had seen them DIE. She had literally seen them just..CRUSHED. Her hands came up to Genbu's shaking before she gripped strongly in her cheeks, rising on her tiptoes and pressing her mouth on Genbu's.
She didn't even care her cousin was there, she didn't care they were senshi. She just didn't want to lose Helen...or Genbu ever.
"Oh god this place sucks." She came back down and took a deep breath. "I don't think I can take that again-" She heard rattling down the way, quickly grabbing Genbu AND Eurydikes hands in hers and keeping them close to her.
"Uh huh. Not today Bottle Satans."
Quote:
4: While examining some of the tombs, something rattles behind you. Looking back, there's nothing there, but when you continue to search, the rattling continues
The possibility of a physical retaliation had not crossed Genbu's mind when she'd reached out for the other girl and she'd flinched as she'd seen that dainty fist coming in from the side, but it wasn't Seiryuu's knuckles that connected half a second later, but the softness of the other girl's lips and Genbu melted into that desperate kiss.
It didn't matter that Eurydike was there, he'd either understand the moment or he could ******** off, but he was a distant thought. Something to worry about later, after she'd reassured Seiryuu that she was well and truly alright.
When they parted the taller girl was breathless, flushed, but there was a self satisfied smugness to the half curled set of dark lips as she her silver haired teammate grabbed her hand to draw her further down the tunnel away from a sound she only half way registered.
Oh wait, Eurydike had asked her a question.
She gave her head a little shake to clear it before looking back at their eternal companion and nodding. "Yeah, and I'd rather not make a return visit if I can help it." But they also weren't going anywhere else until they found the thing the voice had commanded them to find.
Lips drawing into a thin line, Genbu looked at the body in the closest carved out shelf. "Let's just find what we need to get out of here, okay?"
Resolving herself to the search did not make rooting around in the remains of dead people any less disturbing. She plucked at the tattered remains of clothing gingerly, cautiously. Watching and listening for any hint of shifting stone or sliding coffins.
Not watching her feet though, and she swore as her boot knocked into a couple of urns and one tipped over and broke. Dust and ash spilled out, swirling up and around her, and Genbu slapped a hand over her mouth as she hurriedly backed clear, but not before accidentally sucking in a choking lungful that bent her over double as she attempted to hack it back out.

Okay. So. His cousin was kissing somebody else right there with him, which was equal parts awkward and kind of cute? - wait, so were they actually dating, or...?
None of your business, dumbass.
Kind of my business, actually, so shut the ******** up.
It shouldn't matter but it kind of did. Harley was literally the only whole, healthy piece of blood family he had left in the world, and even if he was still processing this whole thing - it mattered, because she mattered.
Not the time for that. They had s**t to focus on here, and he'd really rather not die again. "This place is literally made of a**, " he remarked gruffly, squeezing his cousin's hand and making a resolution not to let it go. He winced when Genbu began coughing, and he would've tried to help her more, but something happened.
"You guys here somethin'?" Was somebody else here? He swore he heard voices. The senshi of salt tried to be gentle as he tugged them along with him as he turned the corner of the hall -
- and found them facing with most ******** ******** tea party literally ever, with skeletons brandishing chipped cups and wearing ridiculous, dusty hats. "... ******** I really ********' hate this."

Scamander supposed it could have been worse, though there was something to be said about being sucked into a magical bottle and then toppled into a giant catacomb looking place that smelled of old dirt and musty bones. He skittered a little as he landed beside Pendour, almost losing his balance, and found himself throwing a hand out to keep his own balance.
"Well, this is...definitely different," he said, the "t" at the end disappearing in a slightly echoey sound. "I can't say I expected to be tossed into a void of graves or somethin' either, but this is...oh, there's a lantern," he added, catching sight of it a short distance away.
Scamander stretched out his hand, plucked it up, and turned to smile at Pendour.
"Shall we?" he asked, tone light in spite of their surroundings.
The first room was only a few feet away. Scamander peered into it, brow furrowed, and let his gaze roam around the dusty settings until at last his eyes flickered upwards to the ceiling and its elaborate chandelier. It looked nice, until...
"Well, that's unpleasant."

9: While moving through the halls, you enter a wide room, and at the center, is an incredibly large, lovely and ornate candle chandelier---and oh, it's made entirely out of human bones
A lantern? Oh. No wonder she’d had a tumble without it, but as Scamander came up behind her, she picks herself up off the floor, suddenly feeling very clumsy. Then, she followed, looking around.”This isn’t all whimsy,” she mused, glancing at the nearby area and the rescissions full of bones. “Not all turning into animals and not quite dying, I mean. This looks real.”
Real as real with no excuses, including that chandelier Scamander pointed out. She stared up at it for a good five seconds, blinking. She was not afraid of bones, but using human remains as decorations was just not sitting right. Even her ancestor wasn’t crossing that line. “Um, well, at least we can see a little better?”
Gold shone in light, after all. Beyond the chandelier, there seemed to be a few runs on a shelf, and she walked over to the, but one fell as soon as she got close. She was faster than with the ship and avoided a hit to the head, but when it shattered, it kicked up dust that sat heavy in her lungs and she started coughing violently.

She didn't let go of either of their hands, and if Eurydike wanted to get all on her about kissing Genbu, they could do it later. Right now though, they had bigger fish to fry....or bigger...tea to drink?
She awkwardly laughed, and then it sort of became a real laugh before she bent over. "Oh ********, This place is ******** tripping." Speaking of tripping, she moved to take a step and found herself tumbling down a flight of stairs, hitting her back hard on the bottom one and letting out a wheeze.
Thankfully, she had let go of both Genbu and Eurydike's hands. Unthankfully well....
Now she was far away from them and in a lot of pain.

Admittedly, her heart was racing still even as her heels clicked on the stone of her new environment. What would have happened if that T-Rex got her? She didn't want to think about it---and perhaps if she stayed out of the Hub for some time, maybe it'd go away. Anyways---this new bottle was a far cry from where she had last been. No light. No breeze---the air was suffocating, actually.
The corrupt paused as she listened to the voice, brows lifting. Alright...a scavenger hunt, then? A rather morbid one at that but---she was determined to see this through. Still picked up a nearby lantern, and set to it.
Eyes moved this way and that, and she paused, because she was dreadfully curious, to examine some of the resting places. Hm...some of those things in the remains kind of looked like senshi items...

Lieutenant Aventurine is ENTERING HP: 15/20
The place he'd ended up in stank. The stench was almost strong enough to make his stomach churn. He thought, for a moment, that bile might come up and force it's way out of his mouth but it did not.
He didn't know if he was grateful for such a thing or not.
The lantern at his feet was picked up, illuminating the area to see the various states of decay and death.
He covered his face with his coat as he marched forward, looking for--whatever it was.
Aventurine came across some tombs and he set the lantern on something to check inside. His hand slipped however and he dropped it on his finger. A bunch of hissing and cursing later, he freed his hand but felt the ache and cradled it close to his chest while resuming his search.

Lieutenant Aventurine HP: 20/20 - using HP potion
Trudging along, he couldn't help the way his jealousy and envy from the sky bottle was still bubbling hotly in his chest.
He was the Great Gansey, hunter extraordinaire! And he had been bested by some smug, petty girl. It was infuriating.
It made it hard for him to focus even as he descended deeper into the Catacombs. He wasn't watching his footing and next thing he knew, he'd slipped landing on his a** and back, sliding down until he stopped with a thud.
Hissing he fished out the health potion he'd pulled from a bottle earlier. There was a high chance he should just save it but...
He put it to his lips and downed it. Then he got up and continued, feeling better for it.
((Using health potion, HP dropped to 10 and is back up to 20 with it.))

Well...it would seem, possibly, that other people had been lured into this as well? Still's brows knitted briefly as she looked away from the remains. Magic was...well, magic. Who knew how long this had been around for. Mintaka didn't seem to know anything about it, she was just as surprised as Still was. Did Mirrorspace happen to collect odd objects?
Still mused about this for a moment, when she was suddenly side swiped by a pile of moving bones. The corrupt gasped as she was swept off her feet and landed sideways. A series of crunches echoed beneath her, not to mention some sharp stabs of pain as some of the harder pieces dug into her. Ow.
She was quick to push herself back up to her feet, sliding a bit until she regained her footing. The woman sighed, and picked up her lantern, which luckily wasn't broken during the fall.

Lieutenant Aventurine HP: 20/20
He could hear whispers up ahead and it made his eyes narrow, shoulders tightening with anticipation and tension. The place reeked of death, literally, and he couldn't help but wonder exactly what had caused all of this. Where had it come from?
For the first time since arriving, he disliked that he was on his own. Most of the time he enjoyed having a gaggle of adoring fans but he also preferred to hunt alone, because crowds drew attention and yet....
Interest had him walking faster, shining the light before him as if he could banish the shadows. When he rounded a corner, he found the source of the whispers.
A pair of skeletons propped up at a table. Upon further inspection, he could see things that lended to a tea party.
What a strange place for such a thing...

Shaking his head, Aventurine tried to continue on his way. There was a corner to turn around and the sight before him was almost horrifying.
A decomposing leg was in the middle of the pathway and he'd nearly tripped over it. When he shined his lantern over it so he could avoid it, he found the rest of a young woman's body.
He hadn't vomited before, but he was going to now. His head turned and the contents of his stomach emptied itself. <********.
What the hell was this place?
For the first time since waking up in the grave, Aventurine thought that death might be more permanent than they'd thought.

Making himself continue was harder than he thought. While he wished for the comfort of knowing there were other, living, people with him, the lieutenant was grateful that he was alone.
No one would see the way his arm shook or how his body shivered after the sight he'd managed to leave behind.
He didn't know how recently she had died or how long she had been there but if her body was still there and he hadn't seen anyone that looked like her...
He shook his head, lifting his head to pay attention to where he was going. Upon finding a wall of urns, he blinked, brows furrowing just as one fell, shattering around him.
He coughed and coughed and coughed.
