Someone rushed past, which was rather peculiar considering his speed. Then the man just stopped, turned, and stared at him.
Like that was not creepy at all.
The look on Yin's face probably conveyed that and he took a single step to the side before...dashing up the stairs and off of the first floor.
The Voice spoke of the True King and betrayal but Yin could not let himself be distracted by that now. He was not at the top and there was more ahead of him. He had to keep going. Not to mention there was a creeper behind him.
Stairs. Lots and lots and lots of stairs. Just like home. The girl bounded up a good number before needing to stop for a moment and breathe. Perhaps this would be easier than she imagined. So far no boobie traps or unexpected hitches, and that was always a glorious bonus. After her small break, whisper continued.

Kashi panted a little. He had only just started up these damn stairs and he was already slowing down... He needed a break, but he didn't want to loose Molan in all this. He could hear a voice up ahead...
Briefly after beginning her ascent into the tower, a door bearing an etching - 'To enter, sacrifice all that you hear' - impeded her progress. With a little frown and grunt of annoyance, Gene shoved passed it without really heeding the cryptic message.
If she had, she'd realized why everything was suddenly so quiet. She couldn't even describe the silence - now words or colors or adjectives fit. She yelled, clapped her hands, stomped - and nothing.
This was not okay. Really not okay.

She had gotten ahead of them at some point, unsure of how it had happened. At least they could see her and not leave her behind.
But at one point, near the middle of the stairwell she could hear a voice, The Voice. The only sound in the room, drifting into her ears. She froze, scared of what it was telling her, accusing her of. Because, she had chosen not to fight at all, yet it was telling her such sinister things and accusations when it had already brought down the most horrible of fates upon her and all she loved already.
Olivia ran up a few more steps, not wanting to listen anymore. Molan ....

He grimaced at the continuous comments, trying to block it out. Nothing would. He should have given it up, it should be gone. It couldn't come back.
He'd beaten that thing before Why had it come back. Because... I am the true you. That was wrong, he was himself. He... was nothing. He had never been himself, that was the truth. I am closing to the truth. The images of the reflection, so composed and silent, staring toward something... he recalled them. He had seem rather... he didn't smile. There was no emotion. Perhaps it was right...
I am ALWAYS right. It replied in his head, seeming to laugh quietly as he continued upward.
Reaching the top would end this. Yes... it was game of the voice. He needed to escape it.

She could not hear a goddamn thing! Why couldn't she hear anything?! Ohgod there was a weight against her ears with the uncomfortableness of it all. Now that blasted message below made sense. But how were you supposed to know if someone was going to sneak up and pull a fast one on you?
If they had the energy to do so after all these stairs.
Dear sweet god why were there so many stairs?! This was a new form of torture, wasn't it? Ooh she would be her a** on that! Just how many of these damn things had she gone up so far?

Whisp was determined to finish what she had started, she dug deep and pushed just as far as her last effort. She was making good time, and she couldn't help but feel proud of herself. As she caught her breath, she heard the voice. In all honesty she would rather meet it and talk face to face, but there was still a long way to go for that.

Kashi could hear another voice now. The conversation... Did it have something to do with that story? A great king... and some objects? Kashi shook his head and continued to the next floor.
Her footfalls fell to silence, as did her breath. This was entirely new and foreign, and she absolutely despised it. If she caught up to Shun, Riley, Levi, even the Fake Xiu; how would she communicate? Hand gestures, perhaps?
She snorted - not hearing it - at the thought of them playing a game of charades in the midst of this mad rush to assault the Voice and end it's game.

Molan watched as Kashiyoru vanished to the next floor, reaching out a hand pathetically hoping he'd stop. He... his head hurt, he kept hearing things. Why didn't anyone else seem bothered by it?
Oh... because they aren't so pathetic.
It was right, but as he stumbled up somewhat blindly. He just wanted to catch up to Kashi, he'd be able to help... but how? He couldn't explain it. No one would understand he...
A few tears brimmed at the corner of his eyes as he pushed further up, reaching the top as once more the clear tone of the real one, the actual voice chimed in again.
What? Everything he loved betrayed him? Yes... he had... they had all gone against him perhaps? It... was it a him? He couldn't tell the voice was... it was the voice. He... did he intend to go against his purpose? I do. You're too weak. It's fine. Let me... you... you my friend can sleep. For eternity. He froze as he stood there staring into nothing quietly. If anyone should have remained in that pit it was you. A sap who desires death should remain as such. Weak and lost in the eyes of others. You can do nothing. You lie to gain comfort, but you betray them all. Even your creator. Ahh... sweet... isn't it?
He didn't want any of that... did he?

Fini stumbled into the wall several times, mind playing tricks on her with the lack of sound. It threw off her balance, making it difficult to register that yes, she just put her foot down on that step. Or that she really was moving... since it all looked the same, damnit! Just a long, winding staircase. She placed her hand along the wall, letting it slide along as she moved, relying heavily on the feel of the stone beneath her fingertips. The weight of her foot stepping onto something.

He had a moment, could have done anything, could have smiled, could have reached for him, could have attempted to say anything even if his voice could not be heard.
But no, he just stared, because seeing Yin alive, on his feet, and not lying on a bed in a coma was just so amazing, so miraculous, that all he could do was stare.
The look he received back from the boil stabbed him deep in the chest before Yin sidestepped him and dashed on wards.
It's not really him. It looks like him, but it isn't really him... He had to remind himself of this, to try and ease the hurt that threatened to overwhelm him.
He couldn't help it. He chased after him.
Shut up voice, nobody is listening to you anymore. Alex had a weremantis to creep on.

They were so far ahead of her, and she had run so many flights of stairs already that she needed a rest after so few.

It was no trouble, at first: she just had to walk with Zel, and although she opened her mouth to speak to him, she realized that there was no sound. She sighed, and gave him a sad smile: at least they had said what they needed to before it was too late to say anything at all.
She just hoped they would get another chance. There were so many stairs... She tried to keep hold of his hand, and squeezed it reassuringly. Not just for his benefit, but also for her own, mostly. He was still there, just like he said that he would be.
It had been kind of nice, to talk to one another again. She was both relieved and irritated.
She hardly made it up any steps at all, taking far too long. She was trying to go slowly... if she ran up ahead, would they ever see each other again?
