When Gargantuan finally reached the top with the rest of them, Nukpana and Taima helping him faithfully along the way, the former Senator, now fragment, reached out to hug them all, pressing them tightly to her much like she had done to Jing, except she hugged each separately, glad to see them. She even knelt down to reach Gargantuan properly.
After she had greeted them, though, she looked back to the door.
Did this door mean she would never truly see her family again, hidden behind a veil of darkness for the rest of her life ... unlife ... nonlife ... memory, whatever she was? If her vision was taken away, all that was left was her sense of touch and her sense of smell, two things that were very reliable and, coincidentally, the strongest links into memory.
Was she ready to sacrifice this to get to the answer?
She looked to her family, and offered her hands to them, figuring that maybe if they could grab on, they could go in together, and not get separated in what would be a very disorienting situation for all of them.
They could do this.
[[ Exiting ]]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: 300+

That kiss sparked up some excitement in him. His frown lifts and he smiles gently. He bends down to kiss him once more, and pull the boy closer to him as they walk. At least there was this left... the short and brief love...

More stairs.
More.
The thud of his heart ran in time with the stairs, and he knew, close behind him, Tracey's would mirror it beat for beat. Bonded, joined. Transcendental of the confines of this world. He hoped it applied to more than just weapons. Even with the claws summoned he could feel the engagement ring.
Promises he intended to keep, there were many of them.
More stairs rolled past, his chest screamed with the effort of it.
Pain cleared his head.

Terra decided that the other Terra had a brother. A big brother, she thought. One that loved her and protected her. He would have to be good looking, she decided. Someone that everyone looked up to and respected.
It was so beautiful, the little handmaiden thought. She had always wanted a big brother!

By now they were breathing hard. He didn't need to hear it to know, but they were breathing, and though he was told he was not real, he felt alive.
They felt alive.
Together they pressed through the doors.
Stairs: OVER 300!!!

A sharp look to those near and she sneered to them. What did they hope to gain? The same as she? Lan didn't care for it, she wouldn't mind if they failed. She only had one goal, and that was to save Mengyao.

Steps, more steps, and still more steps. How far did these stupid steps go?! It didn't matter, it would stop him, and spurned on by his conviction that the voice fear him, Rex charged up the steps once again.

The end of one, the beginning of another. One step closer to her goal. It was enough to bring a small smile to her face.

He was beyond the questions, beyond wondering how many steps there were. All that remained in his mind was the climb, and what lay beyond it.
Damn, he was hungry...

The voice spoke again, interrupting her fantasy. She listened to him. She accepted the prospect of disappointment, and she moved on.
The big brother would be someone smart. Scholarly, she decided. One that made the best grades at school--if he was still in school--
Poor, poor little handmaiden.

Upwards and ever upwards, round and around. It was almost soothing by now, exercise, adrenaline. This Rep didn't take drugs, there was no room for them on the island other than alcohol, but adrenaline was his drug, honed lean muscles, leaner than his mafia self, but this body would do, the energy made it acceptable.
Breaths were grabbed whenever he had half a chance, there would either be an end to this or he would die on the way.

Rex's eyes narrowed, his grin growing broader. The voice again, he could hear it, hear the fear. Good. The raptor may have laughed, a cold haunting laughter, if only he could make a sound.
Disappointment? Hah! No, the only disappointment would be felt by the voice, along with the horror it felt when the raptor's jaws at last found it.

There was no sign of it ending until it did, running out of stairs as he reached the top.
He slumped to the floor limply, catching his breath, letting his heart rate wind down before proceeding, whatever lay beyond, he had to be ready for.

He wanted to tell him so many things. My other self... the real me... has wings. I have feathers and a tail, like you did. Was that what you really looked like, too?
Would you like me, in that world?But he couldn't speak. A smile would have to do for now, and he imagined, filled the silence with answers, awe, and emphatic "yes"s. With his other hand, he put an arm around Zephyros' waist to press the man's side to his. They had to stay close.

The tears seemed to spur Atropos on. She practically ran up the stairs, taking advantage of her quick movements and long legs. Her ghoul was suffering, she couldn't let that continue to happen. "I create this world, and thus I can give you anything. Reflect on your choices now, and remember that I even have the power to make you become the greatest Kings. I could rebuild this world around you. Everything could be yours."Candace didn't want everything. She wanted one thing. She didn't want to be a King. Not right now. OOC Characters: Candace and Atropos HP: 44/50 Rank and Kingdom: Rook, Blue Floor: 232/300 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.
