A long long way. There were people they passed along the way, but he didn't pay them any heed. Two queens, climbing a staircase that went on forever. Maybe it was like one of those trick staircases from games he'd played and they'd just go up and up, trapped in an infinite programming loop till the world crumbled and they woke up, their chance gone forever.
Steps = 124 + 29 = 153

Despite being this fake, he was tired and worn, bending over as he took great breathes. In this fake life, he hadn't been a track runner or any sort of athlete. He was still limited by his shadow..or real self.
Panting hard, he sat a moment and wiped his brow before he got up again and started to move until...
Her mouth opened to speak, but he heard nothing.
He tried to speak, but couldn't say a word.
Instead, Salvia met him down the steps, and held him. He wanted to tell her everything, but he couldn't. Instead, she took his hand and they walked together.
The Voice spoke again, calling to point him to his Kingdom, and he all but laughed silently at this. His Kingdom betrayed him. What did he care about them when nothing mattered to them and they mattered nothing to him? It was a poor reason, and he wondered if the Voice was loosing his power and growing desperate.

The fragment was beginning to count steps, and that was never a good sign. God forbid she had to do this all day long to get to the top, or she'd slaughter the first person she found.
And that really wouldn't be good for her already deteriorating health.

After adjusting Candace on her back, Atropos took the stairs two steps at a time. They were making good time now. They could do this. OOC Characters: Candace and Atropos HP: 44/50 Rank and Kingdom: Rook, Blue Floor: 136/300 Description: See avatar for Candace. Tired, dirty, and clearly stressed. Atropos looks like this minus the tail, horns and stripes. She's also dirty and battered, her clothes torn from fighting.

Again she was moving up he steps prowling almost, the joy of friends and allies behind her seeming to fade as determination and vengeance crept in.
She wanted to end this. The world seemed more and more hollow with each and every step and time was running short.
Step: 269

Disappointment. Wasn't this the theme of the story? Learning that everything they had ever known was nothing more than a figment of some twisted a*****e's imagination. Why would she want to allow that to continue? At this point, all she wanted was an end. She was ready for it. What she wasn't ready for was a slap to the a**. She jerked, startled, and gave Sammy a reproachful look. The time for asspats was long past. OOC Character Name: Taima Current HP remaining: 50/50 On Step: G Character description: Taima is short and slender, almost waifish. She has long black hair, worn loose, and is wearing a simple silver dress and flats.

Madeline was beginning to think that this was just a cosmic joke. Somewhere, some screenwriter with a bad sense of humor was writing them into an infinite staircase scene, where they were trapped with nowhere to go but up - or out a window. Madeline seriously considered it for about two seconds.
And then she simply vowed to murder whoever was at the top, calling themselves the Voice.

Sammy looked back just once more at Tamia and shrugged, a very nonchalant one and continued to climb the steps ahead of them.
Step: 281

She was very happy to see The Family coming back together, despite the insanity that was this tower of suffering.
When Jing clung, she hugged back, tightly, though never as tightly as Gargantuan. It was good to see him again, too. It meant that the end was near, sure, but it also meant that their end was something they would reach together, as a family, as they always had been, even when they thought the Blue Kingdom was real and that The Boss was the only thing that mattered most in the world.
When things boiled down, the only thing that mattered was The Family.
"Let's get this done," she whispered, making her way up the rest of the stairs, and beckoning for those on the lower stairs to follow. They could do this. They were going to do this. The door was right there, right in front of her, though the words were ominous. She must lose her sight, too.
Hear no evil.
Speak no evil.
See no evil.
This had to be almost at an end. She could barely feel herself breathing. This was too much. Every step was painful.
It was time to finish this.Quote: Name: Senator Serafina Arai HP: 50/50 Kingdom: Silver Rank: Wild Card Miasma Color: Silver Appearance: Serafina is a humanoid female of average height, dressed in rather plain silver clothing. She has dark hair that goes slightly behind her shoulder and curves at the end, with blue eyes that stand to be her identifying feature. Unlike the actual Serafina, this Serafina chooses not to wear a surgical mask, knitted scars making her mouth look like Joker's. Steps: 295 + 6 = 300+

She passed people sometimes; unfamiliar faces that were also trying to go up further and further. She imagined them as ghosts. She didn't bother to tell them hello; what purpose was there in talking with people that were also fragments, just programmed into a world to live and die to serve the creators purpose?
Madeline scrubbed at her hair, tying it up into a messy ponytail in irritation.
It was rude that they hadn't even programmed a button allowing the players to skip to the end of this long, long cutscene.

Remember your Kingdom, and why you were created into this world. Without it you will be lost. Without it you will become discarded and thrown away. You are a fragment that I created. Without me, you will cease to exist in this world.
Lies and bullshit. He was more than a fragment, he was more than anything here, and he was a queen, still bearing the mark his other self felt such pride over. It gave him pride now as he took it upwards, letting go of Tracey, holding his hand instead, moving ahead to march up, up and up. He wanted a word with this ******** voice, even if he couldn't speak.
It was amazing what you could say with just a pair of claws.
153 + 21 = 174

Somehow, this floor felt even more deathly silent than the last. He felt numb. Following Zephyros up the stairs was slowly becoming just a little harder. But he returned that squeeze, slender fingers wound tight around Zephyros' hand. He could still feel. That would be his anchor in this mess. He smiled up at him, reassuringly. The intensity in his vibrant pink eyes was slowly returning. We'll be alright. He tried to say, but his mouth refused to move; tensing for only a moment, he squeezed Zephyros' hand once more, sliding his thumb against the back of it. He wasn't as confident as he was on the ship, when he promised Zephyros they would survive. They wouldn't. He knew that now. But there was something up there that needed finishing, and he tried to summon the confidence of the Sinclair he had been created to replicate.

the pantomining was start t get a little more desperate now as jing began to grow angsty from the wait. They really needed to get moving. pointing to them, his spot, the door and to the air above them. YOU. HERE. DOOR. NOW! Thankfully Sera was enough with her lovely womanly hugs to keep him from going down and kicking everyone up the stairs. yes, up the stairs. Quote: Name: Jing Zheng HP: 50/50 Rank and alliance: Wild pawn of Silver, with a heart of Blue Appearance: 5' 11 male, former runner pawn of the blue kingdom.

Her feet were beginning to ache something fierce, and her mind was phasing in and out of concentration. What had at first been a task was now just a mechanical chore. One foot in front of the other, lift, step, lift. Repeat, again and again until you got to the top.
The fragment exhaled.
There was no purpose in stopping now.
