Welcome to Gaia! ::

E7's thoughts had been drug for a second towards his teammate when she spoke, a slight smile crossed his face. Nodding he understood that, all too well... he took her hand.

"I don't either..." He tilted his head towards the door, "Specially since it's so dark...."

He paused when E3 showed up, tilting his head softly giving a nod at her requests, "If we see them," He answered as he watched her giving a soft wave with his free hand.

That was at least two of them that they knew had gone, he looked back to E1. "Think we should wait a bit longer?" He asked swaying slightly for a second before looking back at the door. It wouldn't be so bad with someone else with him, "It'd be nice if we had a flashlight..." He muttered, thinking at least it might make the door less scary.

The room itself didn't bother him, there was plenty of light here. It kept out most of the shadows those that he'd been jumping at since they got here... He sighed, indecisiveness, he knew they had to go soon though.

Gamma 8 nodded, turning to look at the door. It was... ominous, to say the least, and she wouldn't put it past the cloaked figures to set up some other prank. She was frightened, but had some inkling that something was waiting on the other side for her. She turned back to Delta 4 and held out her hand.

"Come with me?"

((Arg. I don't know why I always think I'll have more time at home, the opposite is always true.))

In case you hadn't noticed, we're all dead here! Yeah, that was the problem.

Eta VII was angry at the three people who had directly led to her death, but most of it was misdirected from her anger at the island, and a little bit anger at herself. Whoever was running this nuthouse was ultimately responsible for all of their deaths, and she couldn't help feeling that if she had done something a little different... There wasn't a reason to worry about it now, but that didn't stop it from eating at her. But the only people she could take it out on were Theta IV, Beta III, and Beta IV.

Beta III's laughter upset her even more, if that was possible, and she rounded on the other woman. The only thing that stopped her from jumping on her next was the feel of a hand on her shoulder, coupled with her name. Her heart skipped a beat, breaking her concentration, and she turned. "Delta I." The name slipped out as a whisper, as she let her friend pull her back away from the others.

Hearing it from someone else, that she should let it go, helped her do so. She still didn't like the three others in front of her, and that wasn't going to change, but she felt her anger draining away. After all, they were dead too. There wasn't much else that could happen to any of them.

Suddenly Delta I stepped forward beside her, towards the door, and said she was going through. Through, to know who she was... the thought was so tempting, but also so frightening. As Delta I gave her a hug, she mechanically hugged her back, only at the last second clinging to her friend. "But..." There wasn't time, though, before Delta I had disappeared through. Eta VII didn't care about the Theta and Betas anymore, or the other people from Eta squad, or even the other Delta she had met briefly (and she was pretty sure she'd never gotten his name).

Now that Delta I had stepped through the door, Eta VII didn't have any reason to stay, herself. She wasn't sure she wanted to go through the door; the thought scared her a bit, in fact. But with nothing left for her here, she felt the tug of the door start to work on her. She stepped forward, and then again, and soon found herself following after Delta I through the doorway into the unknown.

((Eta VII is concluded, solo post to come.))

"Okay," Emma nodded, smiling still. She had lost teammates and people she had grown attached to, and she had not been one of the final 13.

...but that was okay.

She started through the door with Fedora, certain that things had to be better on the other side.

[ Gamma 8 is concluded, off to the death solo! ]

E7 smiled as E12 appeared, "Oh you're back too." It almost seemed slightly cheerful but there was an unhappy tinge in his voice. "E3's already gone..."

He said softly with a pause looking back to E1, "E3 said that you were a brilliant bodyguard though. Said to tell you if we saw you."

He shifted uneasily as he glanced back at the door. "That's at least two gone through... I was just asking E1 if we should wait on the others..."

[E-5 is entering from Zombies vs Squads]
And poof he was back again in the lounge however there appeared to be less occupants than before, he assumed that this time it was due to the looming blackness that lurked beyond the door. At least the smell of burnt bodies and the craving of flesh left his body leaving him back into his original state. He had to admit being a rather mindless like creature was a little disturbing but know he knew what a zombie in the movies felt like.

He caught sight of the familiar pink that once labeled his former teammates, "hey guys what are we doing chilling here?"

E7's head turned when E5 showed up. "Huh... er... well..." He paused, "Waiting I guess." Best reply he had. "Thinking about going in..."

He chuckled, "You reckon there's shadows on the other side? Should they have given us a flashlight?" You could tell by now E7 was nervous, there was now four of them, they could all go in at once.... together... but something was keeping E7 from stepping forward even with holding on E1's hand.

E-1 kept a tight hold of E-7's hand, watching sadly as E-3 took that last step over the threshold and disappeared. When E-12 reappeared and joined them, whispering that she couldn't take it anymore, E-1 took her hand and gave it a squeeze.

Then E-5 was back.

"E-3 said to tell you that you made a great medic." she said to him, and turned back toward the door. "I don't think the shadows are going to be able to do anything to us once we're in, E-7. I'd like to know why I came here. And I sure don't want to spend eternity wearing a gas mask!"
