Hatsumi tried to put on a 'smile' but her face was too adapted to her poker-face; so it kind of looked senile when she tried. "Alice. I am happy you worry about me." She rested her hand on her shoulder, "We should not bother the others. They seem to be busy with their own task. Let us work together and try. I want to try too for this is an experience I must face." She turned her back towards Alice, "Hatsumi will be fine."
With that, she disappreaded into the dark.
Hatsumi appeared as the thing that the Ring Master feared most; she was disguised as that. Her true appearance will not show unless the battle of the nightmare is over. When she made sure the Ring Master and her made eye contact, her eyes became a swirling red. Her voice echoed throughout the dark, "You shall tell me what you are plotting. The conversation you had about the shipment, what is that?" She said while making him fall under her control and hypnotizing him.
Quinn nodded enthusiastically when Li-Fan asked her to make sure that people didnt touch him. She immediately began gyrating her hips and torso and twirled around Li-Fan in order to achieve this. However, as the energy suddenly began to increase the hair on her arms stood on end and it wasn't only once that she recieved a shock from Li-Fan.
She jumped each time she felt a shock, but since she was a natural at dancing she made it so that it had looked like that was what she had meant to do. She continued this for quite some time, all the while looking at the crowd, watching as certain individuals noticed the rise in energy. She had her eyebrow raised as she danced when suddenly, Li-Fan grabbed her wrist and dragged her off the dance floor, mumbling something about getting back to the bar.
Quinn obliged submissively, her body covered in a small sheen of sweat from the dancing and the electrical charge. She was panting slightly for air when she sat at the bar and Li-Fan informed her that there werent that many people wearing those weird masks.
Before she even realized it, Quinn immediately grabbed her Shirley Temple and took a swig. Then she set it on the bar with a slight slam that was muffled by the music as she chastised herself for taking a drink when she herself had told Li-Fan not to take a drink.
Before she could say anything else however, Li-Fan suddenly looked serious and Quinn turned in the direction he was looking at, directly behind them. A tall dark figure stood grinning at them with one shiny gold tooth among his white ones. Quinn's brows furrowed with curiosity as she took in this strange sight. His face was painted into that of a skull, looking quite creepy as he grinned at them.
Quinn can by no means sense energy, but this guy looked mysterious as hell. A nervous grin plastered itself on Quinn's green cat face when the man replied to Li-Fan's comment. "Oh sir, you are slicker than snot," she giggled, referring to how cool he was. "Must I remind you that we've got masks already?" she teased the bartender as she gently pushed his offering mask away.
The man chuckled as Quinn giggled and call him "slicker than snot" "oh you best believe child, sharper than gator tooth I might add" he said, his own southern drawl noticeable in his voice, though the deepness of it gave it a more strange mystical ring to it, compared Quinn's southern bell. When she said she they had masks already the man chuckled and rested an elbow on the counter, leaning forward and gently plucking a whisker from the woman's face "now I aint no strange to skinnin' a cat or two, but I sure didn't make no masks with whiskers, nor do I remember seeing any kung fu man at a ball." he said grinning, his gold tooth glinting in the light. "you know the only reason I could think you'd be makin up those fake masks instead of taking a real one is because you used them to sneak in here without payin'" the man said, tapping his cane down a few times. "if that's the case I may have to ask you folk ta leave...that aint the case now is it child?" the man asked, holding out the mask nonchalantly as if to say he'd drop the topic if she took the mask.
Abandoned Apartment Complex
As Hatsumi entered the body of the nightmare beast, it's form Hatsumi obviously wouldn't be able to make out from inside of it, she would find the Ring Master nonchalantly standing about, looking up at the girl with bemusement. "alright I guess this is the part where I stop humoring you...question. If I had the ability to cast illusions so real that I could make you feel the cut of a knife without anything being there, what makes you believe I couldn't manufacture my own presence?" The Ring Master asked, implying that he himself was just an illusion. "you two have been alone in this building for a good ten minutes now, and while I would tell you the plan, it wouldn't really do much good since I'm in the process of carrying it out right now" he told her, glancing boredly at his nails. "oh 'nother cool thing about my powers, is not only can I use them remotely, but while your bodies are trapped in a form of paralysis while stuck in my spell, I am free to move about in the real world as I please, has alot of uses really, I can just shoot an ensnared enemy in the head, or slit their throats while they couldn't move...or perhaps leave them trapped in a burning building" he said, as if on cue Hatsumi and Alice would both smell heavy smoke rising up from beneath them. "make no mistake that smoke you smell is no illusion, nor is the fire producing it. So let's raise the stakes a little and do this one more time. If you tell me what I want to know, I'll snap these fingers here, and poof illusion is gone and you have full control of your bodies back, giving you ample opportunity to escape the burning building you are booth currently locked inside the fifth floor of. If not....well I snap these fingers here, and poof you both your minds are suspended in an endless void of darkness while your helpless bodies are left to burn to a crisp" The Ring Master threatened again, keeping a crooked smile on his face. "note that whoever your friend tried to call never actually recieved your little distress call, since your bodies aren't actually moving in the real world, which means there is no one coming to save you, and no one who can break you free from my illusion but myself, so really you have literally no options here, it's either live or die" The Ring Master asked "so tell me, are a few names really worth your lives?" he asked, the Ring Master himself fading away from existence, but regardless he'd still see and hear everything that went on inside his illusory trap.
(note: There is infact a way to get out of the Ring Master's trap without giving up the information, but I'll leave you two to try to figure it out, note you have two tries (as in two responses from me) to figure it out before your characters go up in flames, so it may be smarter to just give up and do what he wants Hint: there is nothing your characters can do to THEMSELVES that will break them out of the illusion)

◤The Shadow Walker◥
I lurk.
==============☠ ==============
All around.
Rei Ito
Rei wanted to comment on Roxy's impatience but held it in. He knew the moment he insulted her, a mini-argument would arise between the two for Roxy was not the type to just sit there and accept whatever comes her way. "It is impossible for now...." Rei stood still and used his uncovered eye to spot where Hive's shadow appeared. "You need to realize bullets won't work.." Rei reminded her as he formulated a plan on how to safely remove Hive from the inside. Jezarmo seemed to just stare at the scene before him in amusement. Who knows what he could do to the two that were fighting the tiki man. It seems like Hive did not get his message of retreating.
Before Kage could open his mouth again, the Blur whizzed in there and grabbed Primrose without a second to spare. He sighed, "What am I to expect.." His body started glowing again as he prepared to use his shadow abilities.
With his arms paralle to each other, palms facing inward, he began generating a large shadow ball. He continued to do so until it became an extensive lump of dark blob. Right after he prepared the ball that was larger than his body mass, he immediately went into the shadows of the wall, appearing within the warehouse. Once he laid foot into the room, he immediately threw the enormous dark sphere towards the Tiki man and Jezarmo; distracting them even if it was for a split second. Rei ran towards the Hive and quickly placed his hand onto his back, slipping into the underground shadows. Using the same path as before, he guided the Hive back to the surface at the back alley where his invisible bike was parked. He wasn't sure of Hive understood completely, but he seemed to pick up the language pretty fast, "Make sure you don't let go of me.."He didn't say more for Hive's massive body mass took up more space and therefore less oxygen.
When they finally reached the other side, Kage let go of the Hive, "Alright, this is where we split." He said as he took out his keys and pressed a button that revealed his motorcycle. Rei waited to see if Primrose and Roxy had safely gotten out and if either one needed a ride back. While he was waiting for them, he decided to contact the others, "Hey, is everyone alright??" Silence filled the air as no one responded immediately. Crud.. they must be facing something..Hopefully they can handle it and won't have any more unexpected surprises..
Quinn grinned at his description of himself. The man sure could gloat and his accent definitely caught her attention. It sounded a lot like when her daddy used to reprimand her as a child, but that was a whole different story.
Her eyes widened slightly when the man leaned over and plucked a whisker off her face making her nose crinkle. She involuntarily sneezed and covered her mouth saying, "Excuse me." She was pretty surprised that the man saw right through her fake mask and she narrowed her eyes at him in suspicion, wondering who the hell he was. She was also a little mad that she let him get that close to her
However, despite all this, she listened to the man intently as he delivered his small...threat. Though she felt that it wasn't small, not by any means, Quinn felt he was being ominous and she glanced nervously at Li-Fan. However, the thought of leaving the club...well that was out of the question. They still hadnt accomplished much and Quinn sure was stubborn.
Quinn chuckled as he called Li-Fan a kung fu man. She certainly saw the humor in it since, where she was from, kung fu was hilarious. "Yes but he is my kung fu man. You sure are tenacious, how come you don't have to wear a mask?" she asked to keep up appearances.
Quinn took in a deep breath and said, "And no, of course it's not the case Mr. ?" a question at the end of her tone indicated she was wondering who the hell he was. Then she snatched the mask from his hand, making sure her fingers grazed his, hoping that maybe her womanly wiles could get him to talk.
However, deep inside, she was more nervous than a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. Adrenaline spiked into her bloodstream and underneath the bar, her hand was clenched tightly around her knee, the only sign of stress about her. Good thing the creepy guy in front of her was on the other side as her grin turned into a flirtatious smile.
T’kkhe’kk was arrested in his downward force by the hands of that which should be squished which caused The Hive a slight bit of surprise since he’d yet to meet a human who could match him for sheer physical power however, the Tiki was at the disadvantage since he only had two hands with which to arrest which meant T’kkhe’kk still had two free to smash and rend in a manner demanded by his Homo-Optera sensibilities however, before the “gavel came down”, The Hive slunk to a place of mysticism and darkness which threw his mind into a whirl of possibility. Had the Hooded One affected the Insectoid from across the battleground, something that he’d witness the man do as the Tiki God glimmered in the air instead of falling to the ground as T’kkhe’kk’s sweep? Almost in an instant, the massive bug had turned to identify the manner in which he was kidnapped to this dismal realm of impossible darkness but before he had summoned his arms to move in the shredding motion he was best at, he heard a familiar voice speak to him in almost a whisper. Rei was behind him and instructing him to not break contact, which again sent T’kkhe’kk mind into a whir of confusion as the true depths of the Shadowed Warrior’s power was almost unfathomable in The Hive’s opinion. But why were they not fighting? They must have been maneuvering themselves for a more effective offensive against their two opponents, something that The Hive could be happy for since his plan of attack was altered by the addition of the knowledge of the Tiki Man’s supernatural strength. But suddenly, this idea was dashed like a skull against a rock as they emerged at Rei’s bike in a back ally where it was parked, far removed from the combat.
“Where is the fight? We were victorious already?” The Hive spoke in his hollow tones as he turned his eyes to Rei, who was settling himself down upon his two wheeled transport. It would probably be around this time that the small group whom gathered there would realize that retreat was not in T’kkhe’kk’s vocabulary. The concept was a cowardly one and didn’t find its way into the extremely militaristic lifestyle of the Homo-Optera race, who were always more than willing to perish in combat and who always fought to the death. The way in which the Bug’s head titled to the side ever so slightly, as if in contemplation of the actions of his teammates and the ramifications of this retreat from a fight. Something which slowly sank in as Rei again spoke of “splitting up”.
The massive four shoulders of the bug sank low into the exoskeleton, his back returning to the common slouch that he had been carrying himself until this moment of action. He was a failure because of this, his people wouldn’t accept him back into their fold because only cowards run from a fight, and cowards were not allowed in the underground labyrinth of his home. In that moment, unbeknownst to Rei, he was transformed into a pariah with no people, no home. A blow to his life that would force him into the surface world until his last days, never to take up the lineage which it was his ancestral privilege to take up. T’kkhe’kk was defeated and turned slowly to make his way back to the building of the Headquarters after a few moment’s contemplation about returning to the fray to continue fighting and Die with honor.
"Ravens are a classic symbol of death, so not that darling really." Li-Fan disagreed with Quinn eyeing the birds wearily. Li-Fan was just about ready to up and walk out when the tarot cards came flying out, and Jebediah started explaining what he saw in a rather creepy side. Li-Fan couldn't a hundred percent sure but he thought the other side was probably retaining to the spirit world, a place you just didn't mess with. Maybe he was just being quick to jump to conclusions but had the sudden feeling that the Voodoo man was alluding to something bad happening to their friends. His eyes were glued to the card of the girls caught in the flame. Then the card of the bunny was flipped over "Quinn.." he said trying to grab the girl's attention away from Jebediah. The strange man had one thing right, Li-Fan didn't want to know what the last card revealed, though he could take a guess, and it didn't point to anything good. They had decided on him being the leader. If anything happen to someone then wouldn't it be his fault?
He jumped to his feet when the lights went out, his stool tipping over and thumping against the floor. They were suddenly alone in a darken club, the people and music from the before suddenly gone. All the energy having disappeared with them. "What have you done with our friends?" he growled at the glowing mask, electricity jumped and danced between his fingers as Li-Fan brought his hand but the mask simple faded away. "And what the heck did he mean by 'they'll join my friends on the other side'?" He lifted his hand over his head allowing more energy to dance through his fingers, lighting up a small area around him. He looked over at her, his face serious and worried. "A rabbit and two girls." he started explaining as he walk towards the front door, not liked they needed to take the back door now. He used his long legs to set a quick pace, urgency pressing in on him,"The other side is often another way of saying the realm after death, the spirit world, take your pick. Three people are being burnt alive, if you trust the card, while all we did was sit at a club." Li-Fan pushed open the club doors and started down the street. He was angry at himself. He should of realized that everything was to easy. They had gotten into the club to easy...Everything had just been to easy. The fresh air seem to help him calm down, though. They didn't know if anything had happen for sure. They were just taking the word of a voodoo man and his cards. Li-Fan wanted to laugh at himself for being so stupid then his communicator crackled and came to life. He hadn't realize till then that it had been silent ever since they walked into the club.
"Reporting from the hospital. Rei, Darren, Alice and Hatsumi." Li-Fan closed his eyes. Rei sounded exhausted. "What happen..Wait I'm on the way, tell me when I get there." With that he took off down the street at a fast sprint, leaving Quinn to follow if she wanted.
Rei, who was waiting for the confirmation of the girls' safety, observed the Hive for a while. He took in his every movement and words that his hollow vocals would ask. Rei sighed as he put the pieces together in his mind. The Hive probably was not use to such a course of action. Rei tried to put the right words together to assure the Hive why they needed to retreat and that it was not a cowardly act for the time being. After a moment more of thoughts, he finally opened his mouth that was usually covered by a scarf, "Hive.. We came here for information. We need to go back, report and prepare for a bigger battle. That is why we need to retreat for now." He hoped he didn't make it worse for the Homo-optera.

Night Club
"well I have been known to snap from time to time" He joked, continuing the whole Alligator metaphor. He swiftly reached down into the cuff of his sleeve, producing a small handkerchief which he casually handed to Quin after she sneezed, though the whole time the voodoo man was staring at Li-fan, who got defensive of Quin, and flashed him a toothy grin. "oh don't worry, I wouldn' harm a hair on her head...whiskers is a different story though" he said with a sly grin, sliding over to along the bar counter to come face to face with Li-Fan. "all hand crafted in fact, though I can't really say I did it on my own, I did have help from a few of my friends...on the other side" he said, whispering the last part. When Quin asked why he didn't have to wear a mask the man laughed and took a step back from the counter. "oh but this man does wear a mask, can you not see it?" he asked, raising up his cane slightly, causing the white paint on his face to glow dimly. "we all wear masks chi'd, the important part is whether or not you can spot the seems..." he told them ominously. "though in all honestly I just don't like to smudge tha paint is all" he said, "Jebediah...Jebediah Flynn to be exact. Though you can just call me the Obeah Man" (Obey-ah)" he said as he handed off the mask to her, "and that ain't no magic you dealin' with Mr. Chan. 100% pure Haitian Voodoo...whole other world" he said, smirking to himself as the phrase had more meanings than they knew. "indeed, not something you could find round these parts a'tall" he said, the eyes on the skull glowing red for a brief moment. "so tell me, what brings ya'll jumpy folk down round here anyways?" he asked with grin.
"Damn straight you wouldn't, I'd give ya a whoopin if you did," Quinn joked right back at him tentatively taking the handkerchief and replying to his statement of not harming a hair on her head. Although, truth be told, she was starting to become unsettled by the guy. "What do you mean by 'friends on the other side'?" she asked right after Li-Fan with one eyebrow raised, trying to look intrigued.
Jebediah admitted that he indeed was wearing a mask and Quinn's curiosity got the best of her as she leaned forward to get a better look at him. She almost reached out and tried to touch his face, but then realized that he was farther from the counter than she had anticipated and there was no way her short limbs would reach him. So she pretended to scratch her head instead deep in thought.
Her eyes were wide with fascination as the man's face paint began to eerily glow. "Spot the seems?" she murmured to herself, registering the ominousity to his tone. She sat back abruptly and looked at Li-Fan, understanding that this guy was no normal guy. He was a voodoo man.
Quinn smiled at the man before closing her eyes momentarily and shifting her facial features back to normal, only leaving her cat like eyes. "Well Mr. Jebediah," she said as she placed both her hands on the bar, not forgetting the katana on her back. "We're just looking for some adventure. If you don't mind me asking, Haitian Voodoo certainly does sound adventurous, isnt that so?" she asked, just noticing the red color coming from the skull on top of his cane. "Your cane is glowing," she blurted out.
((OOC:edited to include teh handkerchief and the red eyes glowing from the cane))
Prim let out a squeak as she was picked up and sped out of the area. Prim couldn't help but blush at the flirty comments that the Blur was making. "Roxy, please put me down!" Prim shrieked out, before covering her mouth. She speed Roxy was going was quickly making her sick. Her body began to have flowers growing all over showing her distress. The blur seen as Roxy ran by was now leaving a flurry of flowers as well.

Hatsumi gasped, bewildered at what just occurred. "My.." Her mind was in a state of confusion. This plan usually worked, it usually always worked! Especially on the people from her world. She would always frighten the opponent with her abilities. She didn't understand how this could be possible. If only Eri was her to guide her..She missed the doll who would always help her out whenever in a tight situation.
She clenched her fists as her ability wore off, not affecting the clown before them. He started to explain how the figure before them was merely an illusion. This concept was something new to Hatsumi. How would they be able to defeat a mere illusion? Yet this illusion had incredible powers!
Soon, they started to smell smoke from underneath. Every minute that went by, the smoke felt stronger and filled the air. If it was up to her, she would have risked her life and stayed defiant about not telling the names. But it was different in this case because...
She glanced at Alice. How can she be selfish right now when she had a friend to worry about. Hatsumi bit the bottom of her lips so hard, that silverish drops started to drip onto the floor.
"We...Come from..." Hatsumi started to think of a way to twist her words. She couldn't just bluntly state the names of their leader and her companions. What will they say if they found out? They will surely be disappointed.. "A tower.. and we fight the bad souls.." She couldn't utter the names. Her voice started to sound a bit shakey, "Our leader.. melody..me....I...they.." Her words became all jumbled up and the Ring Master will soon lose his pateince. Yet, she could not say it..she just could not.. How could she risk the names and their lives of those who she finally considered something like a family? Where they accepted a being like her?
Hatsumi realized just how weak she was. She was nothing compared to Eri who was wise and knew how to handle almost every troubles she underwent. She was just a weakling...
╔════════════════╗ Alice E. Waters 18 Time traveler/Demon Accompanied by: Hatsumi and "The Ring Leader" Were Is she?! abandoned apartments /circus tent!?

± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± Alice could smell the smoke and soon became worried. suddenly the ring master and Hatsumi seemed too comke back to reality. she ahd hurd it was all just an illoshion....but how! it wasent fair! she couldent allow him too get there information but then again she couldent allow Harsumi die ether. alice glaired at the ring master. she glaired at him. she was about too speek but then hatsumi did. they had to give up... it was there only choice.
Alice watched hatsumi stutter unable too say anything. Alices expreshion became void of emposhion, almost cold. "this is Dark melody and im Requiem. we were sent by our leader from YGC." alice hoped this explanation would be anof for the ring master. if now she would have too hope he gave them another chance to answer.
✘✘You let me violate you You let me desecrate you ✘✘
Darren flushed the toilet triumphantly, finally he was free from this bathroom. "Ok so some are at club, some at a shipping place, and the others at an apartment complex." Darren thought about it a moment the shipping place had three people they should be fine, the club quin and Fan Lei would be fine as well both were strong. That just left Hastumi and Alice and what better company then two pretty girls. He quickly left the tower staring at his watch seeing where the apartment complex was. Darren groaned cutting through streets was taking forever, he quickly aimed himself at a building and jumped the length of it to the top, then jumped again going to an even taller building. He looked around the city noticing some smoke coming from the direction of the apartment complex. "Crap" Darren mumbled to himself having a bad feeling as he ran across rooftops heading towards the apartment complex.
Pdragon if Darren goes in does he get sucked into the illusion? Or does he just see their bodies and the fire?
....The bathroom..When i said make something up I didn't mean this junkie...
✘✘I drink the honey inside your hive You are the reason I stay alive✘✘
Roxy noticed Prim blushing and glanced away, biting her bottom lip as she mentally celebrated. "haha score one for the blur!" she thought, obviously taking her blushing as a good sign. When Prim suddenly shreiked to put her down, flowers starting to bloom out from all over her body, Roxy dug her heels into the ground to put on the brakes, skidding to a stop just a few blocks away from the tower. "you alright?" she asked with a raised brow, noticing her clamping her hands over her mouth. With a smirk she gently put Primrose down and patted her on the back. "sorry, I guess I'm so used to goin' fast I forget it takes some getting used to" she said. "good thinkin with that smoke screen though, I think we managed to slip off without them catching our trail" she said. She paused for a moment when she heard Rei calling out over her communicator. "yeah we're golden, managed to slip away without a scratch" Roxy replied, oblivious to the peril the others might be in. "come on Primy, we gotta get back and report to Mr. B" she said, draping an arm over Prim's shoulders and heading off down the street the rest of the ways to the tower. "hey you ever get cold in that get up? I mean I aint complainin', it's one hell of a view, still looks a bit drafty" she asked, referring Primroses "costume", taking advantage of the moment to oggle her goodies. Compared to Prim Roses get up Roxy's coat and long slacks made her look like a frigging' nun.
Back at the warehouse Ku shook out of his stunned state with a primal roar, lava erupting out of his mouth and eyes, spraying out everywhere. "calm yourself Ku, they're gone..." Jezarmo said, lowering the barriers around himself. "I've already alerted the master and RM about the incident, they'll look into this disturbance further. For now we need to finish sorting out these masks and confirm whether or not we'll have to carry out the distraction" Jezarmo said, drawing his hood back over his head. "and with most of our men either dead of in flight we'll have to sort through them all ourselves, come let's get this over with" he said, dismissing the others for now.
Night Club
The Obeah Man chuckled as Quinn joked about giving him a whoopin if he tried to harm her. "let's hope you can" he joked back, taking off his long top hat and tipping it upside down. "well I aint talkin' bout the other side of the counter child" he said, waving his hand over the hat, causing the hole to start to glow green and emit a strange foggy smoke. "I'm talkin' bout the other side" he whispered, a trio of black ravens suddenly poking their heads out of his hat. "he's got friends on the other side" they all eerily sang in unison before dipping back down into the green depths inside his hat. "and if it's adventure you seek, just leave it to me...." he said tapping down his cane three times, causing three tarrot cards to flip out from his hat, all landing face down in a row. "with a flip of the cards into your future we'll peak....." he said waving his cane over the cards causing them to flip over one by one as he spoke. The first was the classical comedy and tragedy masks, often used to represent theatre tropes. "The white laughing mask and his poor weepin' friend. As one group has it's begin so too another shall end...victory and failure...comedy and tragedy...we all wear masks honey, but only time will tell who wears which.." he said, the next card flipping over to reveal a raging fire. "Ah the next story tells of the flames of hell...two young girls caught in a wicked man's speeeeeel...." he said, fipping the card over to reveal what appeared to be the image of a rabbit caught in the flames. "but leap too soon, and be burned as well....." he darkly warned, leaving only the third card. "ah I see it already....the future inside that this final card hiiiiiiides..." he said pulling his hand away from it. "perhaps you should be spared from hearing this one. It's a mighty hard blow and most would rather not knooooow..... his deep baratone trailed off, suddenly sucking the cards back into his hat and placing it back on his head "when they'll join my friends on the other side" he said, blowing on his finger, all the lights in the club went all at once, as if they where blown out like a candle, all except for the glowing white face of the Obeah Man, which soon too faded away, leaving the two all alone in total darkness.
Abandoned Apartment Complex
The Ring Master suddenly reappeared as the two finally gave in and revealed themselves, a big s**t eating grin plastered on his face. "now. that. is. more. LIKE IT!" he said with a cackle. "kids these days, no respect at all for their elders...though that would explain how young and green you two are...oh well. I suppose you'll get better with time...granted assuming you actually make it out of this situation alive" he said. "as promised I shall snap you out of my little trap...." he said. "though....I never said anything about unbarring the door to the room you're trapped inside...good luck with that" he said with a snap of his fingers. The two would suddenly find themselves inside a dimly lit room, the air was intensely hot, and there was smoke billowing in from under the door. The room itself was about the size of a supply closet, no windows, and only one door, which the two would find almost impossible to open, as it was bared on the other side with an iron bolt.
(you'll be fine, while RM can manipulate those in his illusions from afar, he can't cast additional traps from the distance he's at, so since the other two already triggered the illusion he'd have to cast it again on the building for it to trap anyone else, though note that the building is very close to collapse)
☼The sun is shining☼
