Nothing was going to stop Acerola, especially now that she'd gotten so far. But then again, maybe she shouldn't? She took another step.

...And another step. Being too careful never killed anyone. At least, that's what Acerola thought. However, it was taking longer than she thought it would to reach the shelves of the gift shop.

Seeing as how nothing had gone wrong the previous two steps, Acerola carefully took another few steps. She could feel the glowing orb getting closer and almost within her reach....

Okay, maybe advancing too quickly was a bad idea. Acerola almost fell through the ground as she stood there, thinking about how much farther she should go. She fell half way through, before she carefully pulled herself back up. Brushing the wood off, she stood there for a moment in a spot she knew was safe before she kept going.

Acerola could almost feel the orb within her reach, she carefully took a few more steps, with her arm stretched out.

Anddd......it was within her reach! She quickly swiped it from the shelf, and fled back as fast as she could, disregarding the ground breaking behind her. She continued until she was completely sure there was no more danger and finally looked at thing in her hand. She felt as if she was more complete, now that she had it. And a warm fuzzy feeling spread through her body.

It should have been no surprise to find himself where he'd been earlier, because, well, he already knew the way. He managed to avoid any monsters this time, though, or at least turn his gaze away. What was this? Ruin beyond repair - an - an amusement park, he thought, remembering the words with some odd distaste in his mouth but not knowing why. It was nothing like the sheer fright and majesty of what he'd come to think of as his home world. His little blue heart blinked briefly yellow, though, and he knew the terror of the place.
No...he was in the right place, right now. And he'd have to board that...that...roller coaster. Yes, that was right...
He hopped on, and the coaster pulled at his little spirit self. Sarviur turned his head up into the wind but as the coaster peaked upon a hill he couldn't help but glance down again - and there was the whole of the park, rusty and dim, laid out before him - and cold, biting wind - he didn't like wind.
Down, down, down - he was in a glider again and he was going to crash except - no, of course not. He was here, in this coaster, and if it jerked him around a little too abruptly because he hadn't had time to pull the safety on - well, his heart still sang blue. Sarviur pulled himself out and went on.

Stumbling from the coaster, he did not have far to look for his next..."ride." It was a tall set of - of - they looked like swings, but they were one behind the other, as in a carousel. He did not know the name of the contraption but he supposed...well, he had expected to. But he supposed that he was not meant to know everything. He tilted his head up and turned his head from side to side. He'd seen a yellow glow when he was on the coaster, and it looked like the only way to reach it was to scale...this.
He was not a climbing spirit, and the chains were broken up and rusted beside. Sarviur examined each critically and found a relatively whole one after some dedication. He did not mind paying in time so much as he did mind paying in injuries, and so he scaled the swings, one hand over the other, hooved feet dangling below him. Up, up...
And here he was! On top. He had a much better view here, and he saw the scant spirits trekking to the...the gift shop. Yes, that was where he too must go.
He grimaced, and looked for a way to the next level. The stairs were caved in, and he did not trust himself to jump so far. Well - there was a reason he'd chosen the swings. He climbed from rooftop to asphalt, and began his own approach to the gift shop.

Here he was.
He pulled the door to the shop open cautiously, glancing from side to side as he did so. Safety in numbers, they said...but there was no one around. He spotted the soft golden glow of three orbs, though, and nodded to himself in satisfaction. Here he was. He strode confidently in, but only managed five steps before a shelf crashed to the ground, only just missing him. Sarviur jumped, wide-eyed.

When things finally stopped rolling about, Sarviur began again in earnest. He was so close! A little glass snowglobe thrust itself off its high, high shelf, though, and just swerved past Sarviur's head. He frowned. Someone didn't want him here, probably, but as long as they didn't want to speak aloud, he would go on.

The little trinket shattered on the floor, anyway, and Sarviur tentatively took another step. And another. And then three more.
A miniature ferris wheel whizzed out from behind him - and pinned the door shut. But not locked? He'd be able to exit, right? Sarviur hoped so. Anyway, it had not seemed to...ah, try to hurt him, and he did not mind closed doors. He turned back to his goal. [15/25]

Another step? Yeah.
Sarviur only managed four this time before the floor began to shake beneath his feet, and he froze, lowering his center of mass and bracing his arms over his pulsing core. It beat yellow and bright for a long while, returning to his native (he thought) blue not when the shaking subsided (it lasted for only a few seconds) but when the things already on the floor stopped tumbling about.
Was there a clear path?

(There was a clear path.)
It seemed that now Sarviur was close, though, the floor grew shakier with every step. Two more and it shook unbearably again, things tumbling into Sarviur's path. He scowled and stopped in his tracks, rather courteously, if you asked him!

He moved on. But he only managed to take one more step before the ground trembled again, and Sarviur groaned aloud.
