Cursed Castle Chatzy 2 [Archive]
Icarus is placing his portion of potatoes and mushrooms and such on a stick by the fire
Junior is still kind of being a pillow for Deak
Smolma hes just chilling in his corner
Deak is still using junior as a pillow while also avoiding interaction and speaking still :I
Lavi busying himself making food
Allen is humming and trying to lift this stick and impale a potato with his powers. They seem to be shaking in the air and keep missing each other. The stick even snapped in half. Allen eventually reached out and impaled it by hand.
Junior: omg Allen lol }
Junior kind of half-asleep but also idly watching Allen try to magically impale potatoes
Junior like wtf Allen why you gotta be all mysticy they're just potatoes
Smolma hes making small shards of ice appearing near him
Allen wants to practice gdi. He's humlifting another potato and slowwwwlllyyy bringing the stick and potato together but he runs out of breath and they both drop to the ground as he gasps for breath.
Smolma hes practicing in case more of those monsters come
Icarus: (i read humlifting as humiliating and imagined a potato in a gimp suit getting whipped.....)
Junior nudges Deak a little
Junior: Hige no }
Lavi humming quietly, he's fine with Allen practicing since he needs it as well as Alma
Lavi: || w h y
Icarus: ((THATS WHAT ID LIKE TO KNOW))
Junior: gonna be honest I read it as "humiliating" too but I stopped those thoughts short xD }
Junior bro look at the sideshow trying to magically skewer a potato
Junior brooooooooo
Allen magically skewers the potato and it just. Turns to mashed potatoes. Both of them just press against the stick like a long potato ice cream bar with some potato peel sticking out. That works.
Junior snorts
Allen holds it over the fire this didn't look too bad
Icarus raises eyebrow but continues munching on his own unsalted skewer
Lavi writes in fire by Allen 'You tried' and gives the other an amused smile before looking back at the cooking food.
Junior isn't starch flammable...?
Smolma tummy growls real loudly
Smolma falls over ded
Deak no
Deak leave me alone smh
Allen his stick turned into a torch great. Looks dully at Lavi before trying to blow it out without success. Runs around waving his stick like stop burning plz
Lavi snaps fingers and puts the flame out for Allen
Junior bro don't be like that to your pillow its v rude
Deak shush pillow just shh
Deak moves away though and just lays on something else then
Allen thinks he put the fire out and cautiously takes a lick. It's hot! Ow!
Junior is gonna just follow and use Deak as a pillow then
Junior squish
Lavi: Food's ready.
Lavi grabs a potato stick for Alma and peels it for the small one before going over to him.
Smolma he just gets up and follows where he heard lavi
Junior kinda wants to say he's not hungry but is actually starving otl
Smolma and he runs into lavi-
Smolma: Oof-
Lavi grabs Alma's shoulder to keep him from falling over
Lavi: Woah, there, gotcha
Smolma: Thank you!
Lavi takes Alma's hands and puts the potato on a stick there.
Lavi: Careful you don't burn yourself when you bite it
Lavi: Okay?
Smolma: Okay~
Smolma holds the potato and lets it cool
Smolma doesn't want to freeze it by blowing on it
Lavi goes back to grab another two potatoes on a stick and goes over to his moody brothers that he still very much cares about even if they're not speaking to him.
Lavi crouches down next to them.
Lavi: Eat, you two.
Junior: ......................
Smolma feels round for allen so he can sit by someone
Junior takes the potato
Allen eats his potato popsicle that's the opposite of ice, really. All burnt and stuff.
Junior he can't remember the last time he ate tbh
Lavi: Deak.
Junior between being here now and the getting chased by asshole humans
Smolma cold hand finds allen!
Allen !!!!!!???!!!
Smolma sits by him
Allen didn't hear him coming lol
Junior nudges Deak in the ribs
Junior you should eat bro
Smolma writes 'i was trying to find you!'
Allen sits down too
Allen: Ooo 'cared me! *he chuckles*
Smolma 'Sorry'
Junior just gonna take that second potato
Junior and wave it under Deak's nose tbh
Lavi sighs and moves on to get himself his own food to eat as well
Allen: S'okay.
Allen nibbles around stick
Smolma starts eating his potato
Lavi slowly starts to eat his potato after a quick glance around to make sure everyone's eating.
Deak takes the potato thank u
Junior lets the potato cool and then starts eating it once its not ready to scorch him from the inside out
Deak juggles the potato
Allen chews on the stick tbh it wasn't very tasty but he's hungry
Smolma finishes potato then plops cross allens lap
Junior ye its a pretty plain potato but whatever he hasn't eaten in days
Allen ice pack on his legs felt nice. They were walking for a while. He reaches out for Alma's hair and tries to mess with it.
Smolma Allen's lucky he loves it when his hair gets played with
Lavi finishes eating his potato and just scoots over so he's sitting by Alma and Allen
Junior finishes eating his potato
Junior gets up to stre-- aaaaaah fuck its really hard to get up from the ground when your tail bone hurts fuc--
Smolma Almas slowly dozing off
Junior just grin and bear it
Junior ow ow ow
Smolma hair pets are the best
Junior hair pets ARE the best
Allen is gonna hair pet Alma's and his own worries away tbh
Junior don't get frostbite on ur fingers
Lavi knows that you're in pain even if you're trying to hide it, Junior
Junior is totally not you saw nothing
Smolma his hair ain't cold tho
Junior has been avoiding contact with the smol so doesn't really know where or when he is or is not cold
Junior isn't very fond of the cold honestly
Icarus is gonna go doze after eating his food
Deak stops juggling the potato
Smolma he can't control how cold he is without sight to know if hes cold
Lavi reaches over and pets the small one's hair a bit.
Smolma its warmmmm
Allen starts braiding Alma's hair.
Junior are you gonna actually eat that potato Deak or just juggle it
Deak i was planning on just juggling it tbh im not hungry
Deak would you like it
Junior how are you not hungry
Junior have you been holding out on us on food
Junior have you been sneaking food and not sharing
Deak what no im just
Deak not hungry
Junior squints
Smolma 'have I made your legs too cold?"
Lavi squinting at Deak
Junior: you should hold onto that for when you are
Junior: No telling when we'll find anything edible again in this place
Deak shrugs
Allen: no...
Deak continues to juggle the potato then
Allen can't feel his legs anymore
Junior: RIP Allen }
Smolma: Lavi is he lying....
Junior is gonna go investigate the open gate then
Junior you coming?
Smolma misses being able to lay on peeps without making them cold
Lavi: He's lying
Smolma but sits up and hugs his knees
Allen casually rubs feeling back into his legs
Lavi: You can lean on my legs, Alma
Deak gets up to follow junior
Lavi reaches over to rub some warmth back into Allen's legs
Lavi: Oh...
Junior idly hums and heads to the open gate for a look-see for what's waiting for them on the other side
Smolma plops cross lavi's lap
Lavi: Actually, we should continue on, we won't get out of here by just sitting around--
Lavi stands up and picks up the small on with him
Smolma tilts head curiously but nods
Lavi 'Allen, c'mon, we should keep moving'
Smolma: Mh, okay
Allen It's kinda weird to have someone else rub his legs, but Allen's accepted the help. He stands up at the message and shakes out his legs.
Icarus was ready for a nap tbh, but gets up to follow
Junior stepping through the open gates and looking around
Smolma lays against lavis chest
Lavi follows after Junior and Deak
Allen follows Lavi
-- -- through the open gates is another, narrower courtyard. Ahead is another large gate, this one near-identical, but closed. On either side looks to be a stone crypt with a dark, open doorway, and iron-wrought fence with spikes along the top. Past the fence looks to be a grassy graveyard, on both sides. In the very center, a black statue, this one looking skeletal, but the bones are a big mangled looking and the face looks like a dog's skull.
-- -- a very big dog skull
Smolma puppy!
Junior you have strange taste in "puppies"
Junior tilts his head and circles around it a bit at a distance
Icarus: Looks happy to see us. We should go pet it.
Smolma since he feels better, his body feels warmer
Junior: Then go pet it
Smolma: What looks happy to see us?
Junior: Maybe it'll wag its tail at ya
Junior: Roll over and let you scratch its tummy
Smolma: ????
Lavi describes to Alma what the statue looks like, it's definitely not happy to see us.
Deak casually kinda gets a bit closer to it
Lavi swear to fuck, Deak, if you get in trouble
Smolma shivers because it sounds creepy
-- -- oh woops now that everyone's through the gates, they're closing behind you
Deak: .................
Lavi looks behind the at the closing gate
Smolma: ......
Smolma: G-good thing we all left?
Deak oh well just gonna kinda slowly move closer to the statue
Icarus only one way out and its probably forward anyway
Smolma does not want to get separated
-- -- there's a bit of a cracking sound
Lavi tenses
-- -- the statue moves a bit and then its eyes light up
Lavi: Deak, move away from it
Junior just grabs Deak and yanks him back a few paces
Lavi: Move away from it right now
Allen: Gonna... figh'... a cer. ber. us?
Smolma perks up as he tenses up
Deak jhggh
Deak rude af
-- -- shadows form around it and the skeleton rips itself free from its pedestal mounting and snarls
Lavi to Allen 'let's not jinx it'
Junior um excuse u I'm saving your life
Allen smirks nervously
-- -- its a very big wolfish shadow on two legs
Smolma he heard growls
-- -- have fun
Lavi: .......
Smolma getts down from lavi
Icarus: (the furry it cometh))
Lavi lets Alma get down
Icarus: Maybe it wants to play, anyone got a stick?
Icarus is wishing it hadnt left his at the fire
-- -- howls loudly and lunges towards the closest person(s)
Deak waIT I STILL CANT FIGHT SO
Deak rUN A WAA AAAY
Icarus is furthest away of course....
Lavi BLASTS THE SHADOW WITH A HUGE FIRE BALL
Smolma judging on the sounds HAS SPIKES STAB UP AT THE MONSTER
Lavi bETTER NOT FUCKING ATTACK HIS BROTHERS
Allen takes deep breaths, ready to use his magic to push it away if worst came to worse. He didn't want to hurt anyone's ears. He's a bit in the back, by Icarus
-- -- howls and staggers a little but instead just turns and lunges towards Lavi now barely slowing
Junior was kind of following Deak but is also looking around for a weapon of some kind fuck fuck fuck
Lavi kind of facing the consequences of using his powers because his hands really hurt but he still shoots another fire ball while dodging
Icarus decides to make himself useful by rushng in to jump ontop of the furry to...idk...poke its eyes??
-- -- fireball just kind of staggers it and slashes at Lavi with a snarl
Smolma heres a new idea
Junior there's a... um... a... brick?
Smolma an ice spear appears in his hands
Deak thrOW IT
-- -- howls and shakes itself violently when Icarus leaps onto it
Smolma then HE THROWS IT AT THE MONSTER
Junior thROWS THE FUCKING BRICK
Allen sees the bricks flying and lets out a shout to make the brick go faster
-- -- gets hit with a brick and shakes ow did you really just throw a fucking brick bitch ur next
Lavi throws a mini fire ball grenade into the shadow's mouth
Allen hopefully it doesn't hit Icarus lol
Smolma did... did he miss?
Icarus is trying to poke the monster in the eyes..if it actually has them..at the least hes getting in the way of it seeing
Deak hey good job @ junior & brick
-- -- shakes off the fire and flips around to its back to attack Icarus with claws and fangs both
Lavi: You didn't miss, Alma, it just didn't really feel it
-- -- nah sorry its eyes are pretty much just like little fires or w/e
-- -- clamps down on a limb
Lavi doubles over, clutching his hands to his chest because that really burns
Junior oh look another brick
Lavi yells directions to Alma SO HE CAN IMPALE THAT WOLF
Junior motions to Allen to do the sound thing again when he throws it and then just fucking hurls it
Icarus tries nt to scream, winds up saying ouch really loud
Allen oh no, uh, he does the sound thing
Allen tries to shout louder this time to accelerate that bit-I mean brick faster
Smolma this could be dangerous but its needed
Smolma 'keep it distracted for a bit allen!'
-- -- staggers a little from that hit ow that hit fucking hard but nah just gonna kinda shake its head and try to take that limb off that limb belongs to it now you can't keep it
Lavi buRNS THE SHADOW'S FACE
Smolma then he begins to make ice lotuses starts to appear all around
-- -- scREECHES AND LET'S GO
-- -- okay, just gonna take one of YOUR limbs then
Junior ohshit
Lavi try and get it, bitch
Smolma once theres enough the petals breaks apart and fly towards the sound
-- -- leaps straight for Lavi
Allen picks up another brick himself and throws it with a shout-acceleration
Lavi FUCKING DODGES OUT OF THE WAY AS FAST AS HE CAN
Junior fuck throwing, just gonna pick up a brick and chase that bitch down tbh
Deak stays away bc he'd just be in the way
-- -- twists around and snags his leg
Deak is smart
Smolma sharp shards begin to stab said beast
-- -- just gonna YANK and pounce on top of him
Lavi shouts in pain as he falls
Lavi thinking 'I'm gonna regret this' as his hands begin to glow
Junior jumps on top of that fucking thing and just tries to cave its stupid black skull in with the brick
Allen runs back and forth trying to find an opening, carrying another brick.
-- -- keens as ice shards impale in its ribs and mc-Jerk-Face here rams a BRICK into its skull
Lavi shoots a fire blast from his hands at the monster.
Allen gonna be merciless and throws a yell-amplified brick at one of the side of the ribs
Smolma since the petals found the monster
Smolma they gonna keep slashing him
Junior keeps bashing that brick into its stupid skull
Icarus is glad to have his limb back but is going to try to keep jumping in the monsters face then leaping away using his wings, playing keep away and dodgeball all at once!
Icarus since, you know, he left his stick and only actual weapon apparantly
-- -- ow, ow, ow, fucke--
Icarus can kick it too though, and he does.
-- -- shakes the fire off and just twists around to snap onto Junior's arm
Icarus inthe face
-- -- your limb will suffice
Lavi: MOTHERFUCK--
Smolma all that ice stabs the monster at once
Junior oWWWWW
Lavi ANOTHER FIRE BLAST AT THE MONSTER
Lavi screams in both anger and pain
Junior just
Junior SLAMS THAT FUCKING BRICK INTO ITS JAW HINGE
-- -- jaw hinge fucking bREAKS EXCUSE U ASSHOLE
Allen runs to get more freggin bricks to throw at this thing and then keeps throwing them
Icarus kicks it in the same jaw that just broke
Junior rips his arm free and scrambles back
Smolma tries to find the monster with his hands out stretched to freeze him
-- -- jaw snaps off okay fuck you
Allen with a side dish a sound telepathy of course, hopefully it doesn't hit anyone as Allen is forced to git gud quick.
Lavi has to stop using his fires because the pain is too much right now.
-- -- ow, ow, ow, more
-- -- fucking
-- -- bricks
Smolma guide the smol lavi
Lavi tells the small one the shadow's location
Smolma runs to said monster and freezes part of him
-- -- okay now cannot move b/c there's ice wtf
Smolma ‘hit those parts with the bricks!’
-- -- is struggling and howling
Smolma finds its face tho and uses ice knife to stab em
-- -- keens and slashes at the smol
-- -- motherfuck--
-- -- you're all so VIOLENT
Allen gonna throw some SOUND PAIN TIME brICKS AT THE ICE THEN
Junior just fucking kicks one of its frozen legs and snaps it tbh
-- -- screams and the lights of its eyes go out
-- -- goes limp
Smolma barely manages to throw self out of way of slashes
Smolma no more getting his wounds burned shut pls
Lavi: .....Is it dead...
Smolma thnk
Smolma: G-good.....
-- -- it ded
Smolma feels round for lavi
Smolma his cold will help him!
Icarus: Sorry ol yeller~
Icarus not sorry at all
Allen throws a couple more bricks at it for good measure tbh
Lavi heavy pained breathing and he passed out.
Smolma trips over lavi
Smolma found em!
Junior just gonna collapse for a moment and regain his bre--
Junior oh shit Lavi
Smolma sits up
Smolma makes light frost cover lavis chest to cool him down
Lavi pained breathing eases up some
Junior crawls over to Lavi, kinda hard with one arm bleeding but w/e, standing back up hurts too
Smolma freezes some of lavis arms too
Allen coughs a bit and runs over to Smolma and Lavi.
Nea hey there junior how you doing pal
Junior: Lavi!
Junior ...w h a t
Nea is just gonna casually borrow this body of your's if you don't mind.
Lavi still out cold but his breathing is a lot less ragged
Junior I reiterate:
Nea what did you DO to this thing holy shit.
Junior what
Icarus is trying not to showhispain, it's still coming through as a grimace as he looks at his bloody arm
Smolma non the wiser smol working on cooling lavi down
Junior who--
Icarus: (the casual body snatcher)
Lavi: || Deak's totally not worried for his two older bros
Icarus: (this should be some sort of mini series of books tbh)
Lavi: || best body snatcher
Nea blinks in Junior's body before shaking his head and looking over at the dead creature
Junior: lolwut }
Nea: || he's just. casual.
Deak: ur rite hes not ]
Deak: he's casually just juggling his potato again ]
Lavi: || w o w
Allen waves weakly with his hands at Lavi like a fan thank goodness Alma was there
Junior: Junior: Let a guy use you as a pillow and this is what he does with it }
Lavi groans as he starts to come to
Smolma the groan makes him squeak
Deak: shrUGS ]
Nea: || something like thaT
Nea whistles impressed
Deak: is not a fighter ]
Smolma then hugs!
Nea: You guys reeallly did a number on that thing.
Smolma: You're okay!!
Junior: Junior: isn't either but still managed to find a brick smh }
Icarus: 'you guys?'
Lavi makes a quiet 'ow' and pats the small one's head
Icarus: ?
Smolma: .... Junior, you helped?
Lavi: Thanks...
Smolma junior has confused him while hugging lavi
Smolma: You're welcome
Icarus is distrcted from his pain by the odd sentence
Nea: You guys-- This guy, too
Junior they did do a number on it, didn't they?
Lavi looks Junior and immediately tenses
Junior they should be proud
Nea pats Junior's chest. his own chest. w/e
Smolma: .... you're talking funny
Deak ???????
Smolma: Junior...?
Junior also who the fuck let you in here
Lavi: Who are you and what the hell are you doing in my brother's body.
Nea: What kind of name is Junior?
Allen looks at Junior why was everyone looks at em strangely?
Nea I invited myself
Smolma noticed lavis tense
Nea don't be rude?
Icarus is warier than usual of most people, his feathers are all poofy like a scared cat
Junior clEARLY
Smolma: Whats going on?
Deak: D'ya kill 'im when you took 'im over?
Icarus: What brings you to the party?
Nea gets up on his feet
Junior have fun with that hurting tail bone lol
Junior also that arm
Icarus doesngt know the person, isnt sure whats going on, but its best to assume a ghost has posessed someone, cause whynot at this point
Lavi: Someone possessed my brother
Nea ooooh everything hurts
Smolma: Oh-
Lavi: And he better not be dead
Nea: He's not dead
Nea rolls his eyes
Nea err. eye?
Lavi: Good
Junior eyes
Nea: You guys are quick, though
Junior just can't see one of them
Smolma: ...... Who are you?
Nea eyes.
Lavi not that Nea would know with the eye patch on.
Smolma literally can't see
Allen lmao he has no idea what's going on
Junior oh woops no one's supposed to know that haha
Nea: Nea. And I wanted THAT body
Nea points at the beast
Nea: But you all had to rip it to shreds
Lavi: Nea, a girl's name.
Smolma: .... oh
Smolma: Whoops
Deak good job junior
Nea: So now I'm--
Nea: ........
Lavi: And you gripe about Junior.
Nea if my everything didn't hurt I would STEP on you, boy.
Smolma plops carefully on lavi
Icarus kinky
Lavi even if it's my brother's body, I'll slap you and apologize to him.
Deak irritated looking back elsewhere
Nea ew
Junior Junior is a perfectly valid name you hijacker
Nea: AS I WAS SAYING
Deak: 'Course y'take the only person I cared to talk with.
Junior excuse u Lavi do not ruin my perfect face
Deak: Fuckin' lame.
Nea: Now I'm stuck in... What is this, a pirate?
Lavi I wouldn't ruin it.
Smolma: Hes a pirate?
Lavi: Everyone always calls us pirates, We're not.
Smolma: Ohhh
Deak: Definitely pirates.
Nea I'm wearing a pirate
Smolma: Why do they call you pirates?
Junior that's really fucking creepy man
Lavi throws his hands up, whatever, guess we're pirates for today.
Junior get out
Smolma confused smol noises
Lavi: Alma, can you make a small cube of ice really quick for me?
Allen: mmh???
Nea I mean I can but I'll just jump in one of the others
Smolma: Mhm!
Nea are those your brothers???
Nea one of them could work
Smolma: Where?
Allen confused snowball noises
Junior good go jump inside the--
Lavi: In my hand.
Junior no not them
Junior go for the Chickenstub
Nea the what
Smolma nods before holding lavis hand
Icarus excuse you? dont touch me
Nea did you just sneeze?
Junior the Chickenstub
Junior the winged guy
Lavi if he wants to possess someone then he can go for me
Smolma then makes an ice cube in his hand
Junior the guy with the mangled wings
Icarus ....kinky
Lavi: Thanks, Alma
Lavi: Allen, here.
Smolma writes 'junior got possessed by a ghosty goo'
Icarus posess flambo instead, I bet he's begging for it by now
Lavi hands him the ice cube, 'eat that and hydrate a bit and it'll do your throat some good.'
Smolma 'the ghosty goo's named Nea'
Allen nods and takes the ice cube.
Allen: 'hank ooo.
Nea please, everyone, there's enough possession to go around
Allen put ice cube into his mouth
Icarus God no, there's more of you?
Nea: Is there anyone here that ISN'T in excruciating pain?
Junior haha that's funny
Junior ...............
Smolma him but he can't see at all
Deak: Nope, I think we're all extremely in pain.
Junior oh wait there is one isn't there
Junior not gonna say who tho
Nea don't you want me out of here??
Junior Like I said, try the Chickenstub
Nea fine
Nea HEY ICARUS, MAKE ROOM
Smolma lays on lavi chest
Smolma ultimate ice cubeeeee
Icarus you touch me and I swear to god
Icarus not having nnone of that shit right now
Nea I'm not a physical entity right now so I can't ACTUALLY touch you
Lavi stands up carefully with Allen in his arms, he's feeling a lot better now that his arms are cooled down again
Junior go for it, he'd probably secretly be into it anyway
Icarus I feel like you can touch my mind, nd that's as close to rape by a ghost as I don't want to be
Icarus you aint gotta kinkshame me like this
Smolma: alma not allen??))
Junior: Nah I bet they secretly eloped or something while everyone was distracted by Junior }
Junior: Imeanwhat }
Smolma just lets his lil body be superrrr cold
Lavi: || yeah my bad
Deak: Does it hurt to be possessed by you?
Nea: How should I know?
Nea: I've never been possessed by me.
Deak: Well, I would assume you understood how your own possessions worked.
Smolma ......
Lavi sighs
Nea: I'd say it hurts me more than any of you
Deak: That's terrible, I'm sorry.
Icarus: What do you want, anyway?
Allen crunchy crunchy ice at least he can feel the vibrations. It felt good on his ears.
Lavi adjusts his hold on Alma
Deak: Can you not permanently host with someone to avoid it?
Smolma nuzzles lavi
Smolma he warm
Deak: Or do they just kick you out after a while?
Junior either pay me rent or gtfo
Smolma then pokes possessed junior to make nea cold
Junior: Its funny tho b/c }
Junior: Junior was like "possess Icarus so I won't feel bad when I punch him in the fucking face for possessing me" xD }
Allen hums experimentally
Nea hey alma how you doing
Junior fINALLY
Junior ooooh... feelin' a little dizzy now that he's back haha
Lavi: You okay, Junior?
Nea I hope you can orient yourself fast enough that you dont fall down junior lmao
Lavi reaches out to grab Junior's arm and steady him
Junior um was sort of bleeding everywhere from his arm while he was possessed so--
Nea wait this kid can't fucking see holy shit
Junior: ....oh yeah, I feel just peachy...
Deak gOOD JOB LOL
Lavi I know all that, junior, just making sure you're alright after being possessed
Deak: Peachy is good.
Deak: We should figure out where to go next since you're all alright.
Nea keeps turning Alma's head as though that'll fix things???
Lavi: Alma?
Junior going down
Lavi: Shi--
Lavi grabs Junior's arm
Lavi the GOOD ARM
Deak casually walking around to look around
Junior: ...just gonna... si'down for a moment
Nea: What happened to this kid's EYES
Deak: Torture, probably?
Allen sits down. Are they talking? Okay he'll rest right now.
Lavi startles because, wow, that is not Alma's voice
Lavi: Some asshole humans carved symbols over his eyes
Lavi: They carved something on all of us
Junior: ...mhm...
Junior well didn't actually get anything carved into... more like something carved off haha
Junior RIP tail
Nea: Well I know that
Nea: I just didn't think they'd go straight for the eyes...
Nea prods his face
Junior sitting kinda hurts now that tails are mentioned so he's just gonna lay down instead
Lavi: Stop that
Lavi swats Alma/Nea's hand away from their face
Nea jumps a little
Smolma ...... starts freezing himself
Nea: Who did that?
Nea whoa whoa whoa
Deak rip nea
Nea: What are you doing, kid
Lavi: Get out of his body, you're scaring him.
Nea: This is the only one that isn't totally messed up!
Smolma keeps freezin
Smolma enjoy the cold neabitch
Lavi not feelin' the cold really.
Nea actually really hates the cold
Nea abort abort
Smolma cant breath but keeps goin
Nea jumps to Lavi because he's the closest and trying to find someone else while blind is Too Hard
Lavi !!!
Smolma suddenly unfreezes and falls on lavi
Nea oh this is nice and toasty.
Lavi you're lucky I can't burn myself since I want to protect my brothers and that requires me to live
Nea: Alright, now that THAT'S over with
Smolma takes deep breaths
Lavi oh god, this feels weird
Deak is disappointed but just gonna ignore u all instead
Smolma: St-stay... O-out.... mh body...
Smolma jump into deak

Nea maybe after I warm up a bit
Smolma hes not messed up
Deak fuck off alma
Lavi where the hell did you leave your body?
Deak fuckin brat
Smolma nah
Nea just sort of removes this frosty child from his new 'outfit'
Nea I don't really remember actually
Smolma nottt a good idea nea
Smolma lavi was covered in burns
Nea why n-- oh
Nea grabs the frosty child again
Smolma feels round for allen-
Lavi they've cooled down a lot thanks to Alma
Smolma op. hes been grabbed
Lavi hey, be nice to the kid
Nea: You guys might've shredded that thing, but it sure fucked you all up in return.
Smolma: So.... whys mister ghost possessing us?
Lavi well you could've done something instead of waitin' for so long.
Smolma: Are you a ghost with no body?
Nea like what buddy. jump in the big monster while you all tore it up. sounds fun.
Nea: I'm not a ghost.
Smolma: You aren't?
Deak walks up to the closed gate to observe it casually
Lavi you could've jumped into it and got the fuck out of there
Lavi or, I dunno, attempted speech?
Nea: No. I was brought here like the rest of you.
Nea gestures vaguely to the group
Smolma: oh-....
Nea Do you ever shut up?
Nea: How long have you all been here?
Smolma feels a bit bad for freezing nea now
Smolma: Donnu
Smolma pokes allen and writes 'How long have we been here?'
Junior: ...hard t' say but maybe half a day?
Junior: Maybe a day?
Smolma: Um, sorry for freezing you.... my ice kinda goes out a whack a bit when i'm scared
Junior: ....it was a bit dark in that dome to be watching the passage of time
Nea: Not that long, then...
Lavi hums a merry tune
Nea looks at Alma
Lavi loudly
Nea is that elevator music?? just for me?
Smolma scratches his cheek sheepishly
Junior: 'said you were brought here like us. How long have you been here?
Lavi I don't like you enough for elevator music
Smolma it just you
Lavi but I appreciate your humor.
Nea: Don't worry about it, kid. I've had worse reactions.
Nea turns back to junior
Smolma that gets a smile!
Nea: A while. It's kind of hard to keep track
Junior: Y'know the way outta here then?
Junior hopeful
Nea laugHS
Nea: If I did do you think I'd still be here?
Junior okay so that's a no
Smolma holdin onto Nea/Lavi
Junior: Hell if I know why you're still here. Maybe you like it here.
Nea annnd he's not laughing anymore
Junior is kind of salty his brother is being possessed tbh
Nea: Are you serious? I haven't stopped looking since I got here.
Junior: .......
Smolma: Well, do you have a body somewhere safe? Mister.....
Junior: He said his name was Nea
Smolma: Oh! Nea
Nea nods
Nea: Somewhere
Nea: It's easy to get turned around in this place
Smolma: Do you know where?
Junior: Maybe you're just not good at navigation
Deak snickers
Nea frowns
Nea I don't like your friends, dude
Junior is actually his identical brother not his friend and you get one you're stuck with all three kthnx
Nea: I lost track of it a couple days ago
Smolma only the one you’re possession has been my friend so far
Smolma and allen
Smolma: ......
Smolma: How does one do that?
Nea: It's easier just to hop around those creatures
Junior: He's probably bad at navigation
Smolma giggles
Deak: True.
Nea: Oh, shut up
Junior has been tying up his arm with his scarf while he talks
Junior its not perfect but better than nothing
Junior gonna need a new scarf tho
Smolma would offer to freeze the wound
Smolma but doesn't know if it'd help
Junior does not want his wounds frozen and/or burned thank
Deak: cauterize it.
Junior both suck
Junior: Nah
Smolma: ... Can i help in any way?
Junior: I'm fine
Deak: You're bleeding, don't be stupid.
Smolma just nods and rests on nea/lavi
Junior: Just a little~
Deak: Have Nea cauterize it.
Junior: HELL no
Nea blinks
Nea looks himself over
Nea I can cauterize, huh
Smolma you'll need ne afterwards nea
Junior: He probably couldn't even hit the broad side of a barn, I ain't trustin' him with it
Deak: He doesn't seem harmful.
Nea: Hey
Nea: I'm standing right here, you know
Smolma: Making him angry won't help
Lavi you talking to me?
Junior: That's not the point, and yes I know you're standing right there
Junior: Watch where you aim--
Junior wordless motioning
Smolma gets down so nea can aim
Junior: anything
Nea wow they're seriously gonna let me do this huh
Smolma just sits
Junior: In fact, just don't
Lavi and if you decide to use my powers, I suggest not using it since the symbols they carved on my arms make it so they feel like they're burning after I use my powers.
Deak: Or just switch bodies again and let Lavi do it, whatever's easier.
Nea pain sounds like the opposite of I want
Nea: That's a great idea
Deak: Regardless of whatever option, cauterize it.
Junior: I don't need anything cauterized
Nea hops to Deak
Nea you suggested it
Deak i dont really care, just dont hurt me and it's fine
Smolma sittin starts crawling to find allennnn
Deak cauterize it now since it's just lavi
Nea no worries there
Allen kind wandered off at this point. It's just a few feet but he's staring at the sky.
Nea why do all these redheads look the same
Smolma finds!!! allens foot!
Junior bc we're identical triplets duh
Deak we're triplets, of course
Smolma hugs his leg
Allen !!!!! COLD HANDS
Lavi give him a moment to orient himself
Deak junior already said that
Nea freaky
Smolma don't worry hes at a close to normal temprature rn
Smolma since hes calm
Allen oh, cool hands then.
Smolma yeye
Deak its a natural occurence, so i don't see how
Lavi but as soon as he's good to go, he good to go, Lavi moves to Junior to cauterize his arm.
Nea you still don't see it that often
Allen: 'ello Alm.
Smolma hugging allens leggggg
Deak fair point
Smolma writes 'hi!'
Junior backs off and holds his hands up
Junior: Nonononono no
Junior: I'm fine
Deak stop bein' a bitch junior
Deak goddamn
Nea: Just do it
Junior um excuse u Deak next time u can fight the shadow thing
Lavi: Just, bite your scarf...
Nea: It'll just slow everyone down later if you don't handle it now.
Deak i can't fight, so um no
Allen: wass goin on?
Nea foot tapping
Deak thank u nea for being more sensible than junior
Junior: We
Junior: are
Junior: not
Junior: cauterizing
Deak j u n i o r
Lavi grabs Junior's arm carefully and brings his fingers over where the wounds are to start sealing them shut. He really doesn't wanna do this.
Smolma 'lavi's going to burn close juniors injured arm'
Lavi doesn't wanna hurt his brother with his power that he's always used to /protect/ them.
Allen nods.
Deak u guys are stupid jfc hurry up
Deak its just cauterizing
Nea are they always like this
Junior just clenches his teeth to muffle a strangled cry of pain oW FUCK FUCK FUCK FUC--
Deak yes
Lavi Deak, i swear to fuck, you would be screaming if it were you
Allen: do you wan, t, to cooo ih down?
Lavi SO IF YOU DON'T WANT ME TO COME OVER THERE, SHUT UP.
Deak yes, but i would understand it was for a good cause and let it happen
Allen: the woun.
Nea it's just common knowledge I mean if he bleeds out he's gonna die and if he got an infection we'd have to take the whole arm--
Junior squirming like crazy h o l y s h I t
Deak thats true
Lavi trying to seal them as quickly as possible.
Smolma 'when it's done
Allen: okay.
Lavi annnnnd he's done
Lavi: Alma, can you come over here?
Smolma: Lavi? Can i help now?
Nea claps
Lavi: Yes
Smolma: Mhm!
Nea: Good job
Junior: Jesus Tapdancinfg fucKIng christ
Deak ..............
Smolma carefully stands and starts going over, blind
Lavi tells Alma the exact spot and height of where Deak's mouth is so he can put another ice band around his mouth to shut him up.
Smolma he does this
Nea exCUSE ME
Junior just waving his arm ow that fucking hurts ow fuck shit god damn son of a--
Smolma finds lavis hand
Nea WHAT IS THIS
Smolma: Where's juniors wound?
Lavi leads Alma to Junior and puts his hand on Junior's arm
Smolma it be ice
Junior: yoU'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE ALCOHOL FOR THIS FIRST YOU DICK
Deak you're a bitch lavi
Lavi: Right here
Allen just kinda sits on the dead beast nearby and watches
Smolma holds on before letting his hands get sups cold
Junior: I'M NOT DRUNKE NOUGH FOR THIS
Deak i fucking swear to every fucking god right now
Deak and you fucking too alma like lol fuck off m8
Smolma then makes the arm cold but not too cold
Lavi You were both being unhelpful with the peanut gallery commentary.
Deak a n d?
Deak you could have ignored us couldn't you? but nooooo you didnt
Deak assholes, ugh
Lavi Be glad Nea hasn't left your body or else you'd be crying right about now
Nea I don't like this group anymore, I should just take my superior knowledge elsewhere
Deak fuck you
Lavi love you too, baby brother.
Junior winces okay the ice kind of helps but that all still fucking hurts
Deak and maybe if your superior knowledge helped with finding your body then you'd be free from this group
Deak but it doesn't, so you aren’t
Smolma makes it a bit colder
Smolma trying to control it
Allen if they iced Deak's mouth he must have really been saying some terrible things
Lavi watches Junior with worry.
Nea I mean I can just hop in the next shadow thing and vacate
Smolma snaps his fingers and the ice on deaks mouth disappears
Nea I'll find my meatsuit sooner or later
Deak you could
Deak i dont care either way so
Deak you do you, man
Lavi: You picked the most dramatic brother to reside in, Nea
Nea muffled grumbling
Smolma: Is this too cold junior?
Nea rubs his face. so cold.
Deak you should try and figure out how to get out of here while they're busy coddling one another, just saying
Junior: ....its fine
Allen rests his chin on his hands and closes his eyes, he kinda wanted to take a nap, maybe?
Nea thanks, captain obvious.
Junior um excuse u who was coddling who just a few hours ago Deak
Junior remind me
Nea glances around the room.
Smolma: Um, should i leave frost on it so we can start moving>
Smolma: ?
Deak shut up, arent you busy anyways
Junior sighs
Lavi squints at Deak
Deak oh, so NOW everyone wants to fucking move
Junior: Yeah... I'd like to get out of here
Smolma: It'll be harder to move, but you can still kinda move it
Deak whatever, im done talking anyways
Allen nearly falls off the beast and remembers that they were trying to get out of here. Yeah. No time for napping. He jumped off the beast and walked back to everyone.
Lavi Clearly.
Smolma nods before leaving a thin layer of frost on juniors arm
Junior: So which way we goin'? Looks like we got three options. Either... the gate ahead, assuming it'll move, or the crypt things on either side.
Smolma steps back and stands there cause he doesn't want to risk falling over something
Lavi picks Alma up and moves so that he can go towards the crypts.
Nea are you always this snappy, redhead #3
Lavi: Me and Alma will check out one of the crypts
Smolma lays on lavi
Deak yes.
Junior he is
Deak i have a very bad temper.
Junior we love him anyway
Lavi #1 most dramatic brother
Nea I like your brothers' heads better
Deak you can leave mine, i dont really care, like i said
Lavi with the most unhelpful or irritating commentary, yet I still fucking love him.
Nea: Alright, who wants to give me a lift, all this apathy is actually painful.
Junior: Deak giving you trouble?
Junior grins
Deak see i dont think anyone does
Lavi: I'd let you hang with me, but you have to carry Alma.
Deak that's too bad isn't it
Junior good job little bro
Nea: I don't know how you put up with him
Junior: .........
Junior hums
Smolma: laviiii don't forget allen!
Nea jumps back to Lavi.
Allen rubs his own shoulders, especially around his neck.
Lavi: We grew up with him, plus I'm the one that mostly took care of them growing up. Don't know what the hell I did to---
Smolma dont leave his white haired friend
Nea: Oops
Lavi a little warning next time, yeah?
Smolma: Nea you need to hold allens hand
Nea Nah
Junior actually this might be good
Deak just kinda stands around for a second before continuing his walking to the crypt
Nea: What am I
Nea: A mom?
Smolma: He can't hear
Junior: Oi
Junior: Ghosty
Nea: I'm not a GHOST
Smolma: Yes
Smolma: a mom
Junior: Yea, yea, whatever
Junior: Listen up
Lavi Allen's deaf and he usually ends up sticking with me and Alma.
Nea So this one's bossy, the other one's dramatic. What does that make you.
Junior: Unless you really, really need to, like life and death need to, do not use any o' my brothers powers... and try not to let him use it unless absolutely necessary either
Lavi Hm...not sure.
Deak: Hurry up, we're splitting up right?
Junior: He's fire's got a recoil now, and it'll hurt him, so try not to use it
Deak: I'm going on ahead.
Nea gives a sarcastic two finger salute
Nea: You got it.
Junior squints
Lavi at least one of them cares about what the hell my powers do to me. [very flat tone]
Junior I'm-watching-you motion before he turns after Deak
Allen: Alm. Can I 'ave anoth'r ice hube? A small one.
Deak leave into the crypt bc yall are slow
Smolma nods before motioning him to come over
Deak leaves
Nea is so not thrilled about being a baby sitter
Smolma a lil ice cube grows in his palm
Allen walks over to Alma and holds out his hand.
Junior um excuse u u are not going off by yourself Deak
Junior is following right behind him
Smolma puts it in allens hand
Lavi Sorry.
Nea grabs Allen by the wrist because apparently he has to be a guide now.
-- -- the crypts on both sides as you enter them are very dark at first, but there's a light further down. As you go, it looks to be a wall-mounted torch bolted in, and the halls leading into the ground fork in separate directions
Allen pops ice cube into mouth.
Allen looks to Lavi, he seemed angry?
Junior mmmm maybe they should've brought Allen with them now that he thinks about it
Junior: ....so...
Junior: which way do you think we should go?
Junior: Left or right?
Nea drags his 'crew' along
Lavi Ease up there. You're guiding him, not drag Allen, Nea.
Allen why was Lavi holding him so hard? He walks closer so he's practically stepping on his shoes, and looks around alarmed.
Nea glances at Allen
Smolma writes in the air 'the ghost is possessing him allen'
Deak shrugs
Nea: So he can't hear anything? At all?
Lavi He's deaf.
Smolma 'the nea ghost'
Smolma: Nope
Deak: Right?
Deak: Or I'll go right you go left?
Allen blinks at Lavi. Was he trying to say something to someone behind him? He looked away in the direction and then looked back, confused
-- -- the halls of the crypt are just wide enough to walk single file
Allen wait, a ghost?
Junior: hmmm...
Allen: Who...?
Junior: I don't like the idea of splitting u--
Junior oh
Smolma 'Nea!"
Junior ponders
Nea who decided it'd be a good idea to let the man who lost track of his body lead people
Junior: We don't have to go different directions!
Lavi Well, I can guide you from in here.
Lavi if you want.
Junior: You can stick with me, and still check out the other pathway
Deak: ...What.
Nea Fine.
Deak did not follow
Junior drags a hand down his face
Allen: oh. 'Ello Nea...?
Junior: ...you can be in multiple places at once, 'member?
Nea raises an eyebrow at Allen while they walk
Deak o shit u rite
Nea sort of waves a little
Junior: So you stick with me and one of your copies checks out the other way
Lavi Hm... Go left.
Allen waves back.
Lavi Deak's ability would sure be handy about now.... -sighs-
Deak: Alright, sounds good!
Allen Nea weren't hostile, so that was okay.
Nea: Lavi says we should go left, so remember to blame him and not me if this goes poorly
Lavi Wow.
Lavi Says the guy who couldn't make up his mind.
Junior: So we'll go... right, and the copy will go left, I guess
Nea shut up.
Smolma 'lavi said to go left, #blamelavi if wrong'
Deak makes a duplicate self and sends the duplicate to the left bye bye self
Deak: Okay, let's go then.
Junior nods and follows Deak down the right pathway
Lavi: || I thought for a moment that Deak would go left and the duplicate would go with Junior
Lavi: || Since he wants to be on his own so much xD
Nea honestly feels like he's leading schoolchildren while taking them to the left
Deak: tBH HE WAS GOING TO SUGGEST IT ]
Junior: r u kidding Junior ain't letting the original be on his own in dangerous territory xD }
Allen gives Nea a dull look but ok
Deak rip u nea
Smolma its not their fault nea
Junior: He's gotta protect the baby bro B) }
-- -- the passageways of the crypt are narrow, just wide enough for single-file. They don't go straight for very long, turning, and turning again, and seeming to double back without much rhyme nor reason to their direction. Most of the place is dark but every so often you find torches on the wall
Junior: .........
Junior: The amount of turns in this place is ridiculous
Allen being dragged in a single file line hurrah
Nea nobody is happy about this situation
Deak: Well, it's the same in the other hallway too, so we'll just have t keep turning I suppose.
Lavi Hey, can you let me take control and still share head space with me?
Nea just keeps glancing around like he's expecting the worst
Junior: .........
Juniorsquints
Nea ...Probably. Why? You're not exactly missing much.
Junior: I feel like
Junior: we're running a rat maze
Junior: and there better be cheese at the end of it
Lavi Yeah, I know, but at least you won't be irritated with leading Allen around or carrying Alma.
Junior not like literal cheese he's speaking figuratively
Allen wants to hum and sing but his throat's still kinda sore...
Deak: I can make another of me to send backwards and see what happens. Maybe we'll run into one another eventually.
Smolma writes 'need more ice?'
Deak it would be funny
Junior: Maybe...
Lavi: || Isn't Deak gonna start feeling the backfire of his powers soon? o:
-- -- somewhere you all hear a dull CLICK and something heavy scraping
-- --: oh he will B) }
Deak: no never hes 2 go-- ]
Deak: wow rude ]
Nea Fi--
-- --: He hasn't used them much up to this point tho like Lavi has }
Lavi What was that.
Nea pauses
Allen: I would lihe' hat.
Smolma flinches at the sound
Nea: Shh.
-- -- actually make that a lot of heavy somethings scraping
Deak just keeps walking
Smolma: .....
Nea puts his hand over Allen's mouth
Lavi Switch with me. Switch with me right now.
Nea tries to figure out where that noise is coming from
Junior: ....you hearing that too or am I just crazy?
Nea Hold on
-- -- its coming from everywhere, technically
Deak: Hmm, no I heard it too.
-- -- not like all at once but interchangably
Deak: And twice.
Smolma hands allen another piece of ice so he can use his power better
Junior: ....and three times
Junior: I hear a lot of it
Nea grabs Allen's wrist again and starts walking faster
Deak
: There's no point in just standing around. Let's keep going.
Allen nods and takes the ice. He pops the ice into his mouth as they walk faster
Junior sighs and follows
Deak: As far as I'm concerned, the other me is still alright so it's fine at the moment.
Junior: Yeah you're right
Nea: Whatever that sound is, I don't like it.
-- -- and a wall starts sliding out right where Allen and Lavi/Nea's hands are joined to try and make another wall between them now
Lavi !!!
Lavi !!!!!!!!!!
Deak lavi use ur words
Nea YANKS ALLEN REALLY HARD. MOVE KID.
Nea OR I'M LEAVING YOU
Allen JUMPS ONTO NEA PRACTICALLY
Nea JESUS
-- -- nope sorry the wall is coming in too fast to squeeze through this is a narrow passage
Lavi Shit, ALLEN!
-- -- better move your arm before it gets caught
Nea yeah no okay sorry kid you're on your own
Smolma screeches
Nea lets go and side shuffles
Deak bye allen
Smolma: ALLEN?!
Allen well shit. Pulls his hand away quickly after slamming into wall
Smolma whats going on?!
-- --: lbh here, the real victims are everyone's arms in this lmfao }
Allen: ((rip arms, literally))
-- -- and the wall slides into place, separating Allen from the rest
Junior: like literally }
Smolma his heads whipping around and op his bodys getting colder naow
Nea shakes Alma a little
Nea: Don't start freaking out now, it's time to go
Deak dont shake a baby nea
Junior: ........
Deak smh
Junior: ...though I heard somethin' else
Nea don't boss me around
Smolma op that made him disoriented
Junior strains to hear but there's just lots of scraping
Deak: What?
Junior: ...dunno
Junior: An echo?
Smolma but he just nods still worried
Junior: ...better not be more damn shadow things
Allen well he's gonna press against the wall to try to budge it and then scream to try to move it back.
-- -- and the scraping stops
Deak: Well, it's probably still fine.
-- -- it quiet now
Lavi Quietly worrying inside his own head.
Deak: ...
Junior: ....it stopped
Nea is only really concerned about these noises
Lavi is worried about his brothers.
Junior: ...think the others are okay?
Junior is mostly thinking of Lavi tbh
Deak: ....
Deak: I'm sure they're fine.
Nea How important is this kid to your group
Allen since there was no response from the walls he walks back from where he came.
Deak: We haven't the time to just stop, so just keep walking.
Lavi He's important.
Nea frowns
Junior: ....I.... don't like it down here
Lavi His powers are helpful against the shadows and he helps me when my powers backfire.
Deak: Neither do I, but just don't focus on that and keep walking.
Nea grabs alma's wrist and starts walking again
Junior: I'm not saying to not go forward, but maybe we backtrack a bit
Deak stops and turns to look at junior
Deak: Why backtrack?
Junior: Or at least send a copy back, I dunno?
Deak: I can send a copy back, but I don't think backtracking is smart.
Junior: Fair enough
Smolma yelps before following after Nea
Junior mumbles just doesn't like splitting up with Lavi like this tbh they should have all stuck together
Deak sighs and makes another copy that goes back the way they came
Lavi Nea, don't drag him. I get that you're annoyed with the situation but scaring Alma with rough treatment isn't the way to go about this.
Smolma hes scared, but does his best to keep calm
Deak: Okay, let's keep goin' now? Or d'you need to rest?
Junior: No, I'm fine. I can rest when we get out of here.
Junior motions
Junior: After you
Nea I'm barely touching him.
Deak: Okay.
Nea Besides, we have to move
Smolma but hes more scared that nea will leave him
Deak turns around and continues walking
Nea: Stay as close as you can without tripping me
Lavi I know that but you could tell him, nicely, to walk faster.
-- -- if you backtrack, you'll find that the pathway is no longer the same one your original followed in. Shortly after, there's another CLICK and the scraping starts up again
Nea: I'm not getting an arm stuck in one of those walls.
Junior: ...there it is again
Lavi Maybe you should carrying him on our back. The passage doesn't seem that narrow.
Deak: Wait, it changed?
Junior: Huh?
Smolma: O-okay, I'll try
Nea makes an annoyed noise
Junior: What did?
Deak is confused
Lavi sighs.
Deak: The path, it changed?
Nea You know what? You handle it.
Junior: .....
Lavi Sure.
Nea shoves Lavi to the forefront of their head
Smolma Nea hates him...
Lavi: Woah
Allen sings softly to himself because he's in a small dark hallway that can crush him. He's hella nervous.
Lavi: At least I got a warning that time.
Allen: iiii beeen... working... on the ralroad... alll the yive-yong yayyy...~♪
Junior: Are you sure?
Lavi stops walking and turns to kneel down in front of Alma.
Lavi: Hey, Alma, Nea's taking a break
Smolma stops since nea? did.
Deak: Yeah, I memorized the path we took so it should have been the same but it's definitely not.
Smolma: ...o-oh
-- -- aaand a wall just behind Junior moves to cut them off from the path they came from
Junior: ........
Smolma yup nea hates him
Junior: Oh shi--
Junior: That's what that was
Lavi: Wanna get on my back?
Deak: ...................
Deak: I guess that means... no turning back?
Smolma: Sure....
Lavi: That way we won't get separated
Nea Don't stop moving. Who knows what's going to happen next.
Lavi turns around.
Junior: ....not the way we came in at least...
Lavi: Climb on, quick.
Deak: ...Even so, both of the other mes are still alright, so it should be... fine?
Smolma quickly climbs on
Deak: Let's just keep going.
Lavi I had to stop to let him on my back.
Lavi quickly starts walking in the direction they were going, taking long strides.
Deak just continues to walk forward
Junior: Right
Smolma rests chin on lavis shoulder
Junior follows close behind Deak
Lavi softly hums under his breath.
Nea is all sorts of restless
Allen stops singing after a basic song and crosses his arms, just keep walking, just keep walking, just keep walking walking walking walking
Smolma: Mh sorry, i didn't mean to go so slow
Lavi: Don't worry about it. Nea's just not good at this whole guiding thing.
Junior is determined not ot get separated or have anything bad happen
Nea Oh, shut up.
-- -- a wall comes up ahead and behind Lavi and them. One to their side opens up.
Lavi Stops walking for a moment
Allen feels so fckin lost and lonely right now lmao
Lavi: Okay then, guess it wants me to go this way...
Lavi goes down the newly opened path cautiously
Nea stay alert. Anything it wants you to do is probably a bad idea.
Lavi I'm well aware of that...
Smolma holds a hand out a bit
Lavi worried about his brothers and Allen.
Smolma ice knife grows in it just in case
Smolma but hes worried about allen too since hes alone
-- -- @Deak you start to notice a radiating sting in your hands that's starting to snake its way slowly up your arms. Its dull for now, but steadily pulsing a little bit worse as time goes on
Nea is mostly just worried about getting out of this hallway
Deak: rUDE ]
Lavi Were you alone when you woke in this place? Or was there someone else with you?
-- --: deAK HAS TO DEAL WITH HIS HANDICAPS TOO }
Deak ignores it and just keeps swimm-- i mean walking
Deak: i am fEELING ATTACKED RN ]
Deak: i jUST CAME OUT TO HAVE A GODMOD TIME ]
Nea There was a whole group with me
-- -- the scraping stops. for now.
Junior: lmfao }
Lavi Friends? ......Family?
Deak: That's really annoying.
Junior: ....I feel like we're going in circles...
Deak: What if we tried going backwards now?
Junior: I don't know, maybe?
Deak: Let's just attempt it.
Nea Doesn't matter, they're gone now.
Junior: I'm guessing your copies didn't find a way out yet...
Deak: Go and I'll be right behind you.
Lavi sighs and breathes fire a little bit
Junior: Alright
Deak: ...No, they didn't.
Junior takes the lead, grumbling under his breath
Junior: ...this was probably a bad idea
Deak follows right after
Deak: Everything here is a bad idea, to be fair.
Junior: I mean I'm used to running around tight tunnels but this is crazy, the ones I go through don't usually CHANGE
Allen claps his hands while he walks
Deak: Well, we just gotta deal.
Junior sighs
Junior: yeah
Lavi keeps walking at a fast pace.
Lavi: You okay, little guy?
-- -- the scraping begins again
Deak: ............
Junior: Oh, great...
Smolma: I'm.... I'm okay
Deak: That's really annoying when you hear it from three separate places.
Smolma: Let's keep going
Junior: ....it is
Deak sighs
-- -- also the moving walls might've just caught one of the copies woops shoulda moved faster
Deak: Wa--
Deak: .........................
Allen puts his hands against the wall, he could kinda feel it vibrating. Whoah. Weird. He returns to clapping his hands in different rythmns
Deak: Oh that's not good.
Junior: .............
Junior: What's not good?
Deak: Other me got crushed by a wall.
-- -- in other news, a wall opens up to reunite Allen with Lavi and company
Junior: ...............
Junior: Oh
Junior: Shit
Deak: Poor other me.............
Junior: So... we gotta be careful
Junior: Are you okay though?
Deak: I'm wounded dearly from the bottom of my heart.
Deak: He was a good soldier until his final moments.
Deak: Being crushed by a wall was no death he deserved.
Junior pets the bro
Deak wipes away a fake tear
Lavi perks up
Lavi: Allen!
Lavi 'Allen!'
Junior is a little bit anxious though that could've been the original Deak
Smolma perks!!
Smolma Allens okay?!
Allen Almost passes it, but a casual glance back makes him stop. He immediately runs over to the others with a relieved grin.
Deak im the original dont say that
Lavi grins back at Allen
Deak: Let's just... keep moving.
Junior: ....okay... so we have to try and get outta here fast as we can
Lavi 'You're not hurt, right?'
Junior starts moving
Junior: stay close
Allen shakes head.
Deak follows quickly
Smolma holds allens shoulder with none ice knife hand
Allen: Are you ok?
Lavi 'Good, let's keep moving. Oh, and Nea's taking a break right now so he's just....chilling in my head?'
Smolma nods
Lavi starts walking again before sending back a quick 'stay close, don't wanna get separated again.'
Allen squeezes Alma's hand with his and then follows Lavi.
Nea 'Chilling'
Lavi: This tunnel just really likes being a nuisances.
Deak ew being crushed was terrible and i just thought about it
Lavi Well, it was either that or sulking.
Junior just try not to think about it bro
Deak ewewew
Deak no its too late
Deak now im thinking about it
Nea I'm not sulking.
Lavi adjusts Alma on his back a bit.
Junior just breathe and focus on something else
Lavi Brooding then.
Nea I just don't like dealing with liabilities.
Deak no it was gross
Deak i didnt see you get crushed
Deak no it was me and it was terrible
Deak i feel sick oh god it was just
Smolma: ouch))
Lavi dead silence in his mind enough to chill.
Junior bro do you need a hug or
Deak nO DO NOT TOUCH Me
Deak im ok just keep walking
Deak as long as other me doesnt get crushed im fine
-- --: :3c }
Nea isn't taking that back
Deak: d O NOT ]
-- --: :3c }
Deak: s t op ]
Junior okay okay
Junior keeps moving
Lavi So I guess, if, say, one of your companions or a family member were trapped here with you and were blind. You wouldn't like dealing with them?
-- --: "stop" what? I haven't done anything }
Lavi So you'd just leave them?
Smolma least im trapped in someone elses body
Smolma not helping at all
Lavi What if that person were a sibling or a close friend? Still gonna ditch them because they're a liability?
Deak follows a little more lethargically
-- --: I'm thinking about things tho :3c }
Nea Would you shut up?
Deak: s quint s ]
-- --: I didn't say what kind of things exactly tho }
Deak: s quints ]
Deak: what kind of things exactly :3c ]
-- --: things }
Lavi Oh, am I annoying you? So sorry that you're not happy with this situation that we're /all/ in.
Allen when will this place end
-- --: things that I had planned and have been foiled and trying to figure out how to do anyway lAUGHS }
Deak: squints x4 ]
-- -- a wall comes out almost right about when Junior is about to get there
Junior really quickly backtracks
Nea All I'm doing is being REALISTIC. Someone gets hurt, or needs help-- Other's get hurt trying to protect them. And then it just /repeats/.
Junior: shIT that was close
Deak slaMS INTO JUNIOR bc not paying attention
Junior ooOOF
Junior aaand he had a meeting with the wall anyway
Deak: S-Sorry!
Deak rip junior i am so sorry
Junior kind of
Lavi And maybe we'll need their power to get the fuck out of here and then they're dead because we decided to leave them simply because they're a 'liability'.
Nea Did I fucking /say/ we're going to leave them for dead?
Junior: Its fine
Lavi I'm being realistic as well, Nea.
Junior sighs
Junior: Not going this way I guess
Lavi You /sound/ like you wanna leave them for dead.
Nea I said I don't LIKE it.
Lavi You rather not deal with them and just let them fed for themselves, which would end badly.
Nea And I don't
Deak: So turning around again?
Junior frustrated growliing
Junior: Doesn't look like we have much choice...
Deak: The other one of me is fine still, so we just have to try and follow whatever path as best as we can.
Junior: Yeah...
Deak turns around and begins to walk the other way agAIN
Deak: Just keep up.
Lavi Well put your big boy pants on, Nea. You're gonna have to deal with it.
-- -- aand a wall comes up just in front of Lavi
Deak rip lavi
Lavi stops and turns on his shoulders so he hits that instead.
Lavi: Rude, Wall.
Nea Ugh
Lavi: I was walkin'
Nea Put the kid down and turn us around.
Deak why did you capitalize wall
Junior b/c clearly he was addressing THAT wall specifically
Allen was daydreaming so he walks into Lavi
Junior: Not too hard t' keep up
Lavi exactly what Junior said.
Deak: Are you sayin' 'm slow?
Junior: ............
Junior squints
Junior: .....
Nea You can coddle him again once we're facing the right way
Junior: ...slower than usual...
Nea These halls are too damn tight.
Allen: 'orry.
Deak: This is my normal pace, bro.
Deak: Rude as heck.
Junior: No you're definitely going slower
Deak: I'm definitely not.
Allen turns around and walks in the other direction.
Junior: Definitely are.
Deak: Not.
Junior: Are.
Deak: Not.
Junior: Are.
Deak: NOT.
Junior: ARE.
Deak speeds up his walking then >:I
Deak: THERE.
Junior: I never thought I'd see the day they pulled this argument xD }
Junior: ......
Deak: s a me ]
Lavi He's /blind/, Nea, his powers react with his emotions from what I've seen so far. It'd be bad if it got out of control because he got scared.
Junior: Its a good day to be alive B) }
Deak returns back to his "normal" pace
Lavi: I'm gonna put you down really quick, Alma, the hall's too narrow for me to turn around with you on my back.
Nea wishes he had eyes to roll
Deak that walking was too much effort
Smolma just nods
Lavi I wonder if I could put you in a mental box.
Nea Don't even try it
Lavi crouches down to let Alma down before moving so he's on the side of him quick before crouching down again.
-- -- aaaand up goes a wall between Lavi and Alma woops
Smolma gets down
Lavi
: Shit!
Deak oh dang
-- --: :3c }
Deak mumbles not
-- --: Sorry what were we talking about, something about getting scared }
Allen: ((o shit))
Junior mumbles are
Nea Well that's /unfortunate/.
Deak n o t
Junior a.r.e.
Lavi mentally swearing in multiple languages while mentally throwing a bar at Nea
Lavi runs to go catch up with Allen
Deak: Am not.
Allen lmao this snowy boi didn't even notice
Lavi spots Allen and grabs is shoulder
Junior
: are too.
Allen stops and turns back to Lavi.
Smolma tenses wayyyy up
Allen: Where Alm...?
Deak: Wait, were we saying are or am........?
Lavi 'Alma's gone! The wall split us up'
Smolma: L-lavi.... Allen?
Deak: I forgot.
Smolma theres no reply
Junior: You were using "am" and I was using "are".
Lavi: || Guess this castle is gonna become a winter ice land now
Deak: Right I was right okay.
Smolma his side of the wall becomes much colder
Smolma: yup))
Junior: Yep~
Deak: I'm tired'a walkin' ugh.
Allen his eyes widen, he takes a deep breath in and out, he looks behind Lavi as if to hope he was walking down the hall
Smolma quickly starts pounding on the wall
Junior: Smolma's gonna become ElSmolma }
Deak: l eave ]
Smolma: yUP))
Smolma: SHIVASMOL))
Junior: n oPE }
Lavi: || The snow glows white in the castle tonight
Junior: NOT UNTIL I'M DONE TORTURING YOU A-- I mean... }
Nea Keep moving.
Smolma op nows theres frost slowly starts spreading across the walls
Allen: ... 'eep goin. e'll meet up.
Lavi Oh, you're still present.
Smolma keep moving, just. keep. moving
Lavi 'We have to keep moving, we'll run into him like we did you.' He hopes.
Nea Walk or I'll walk for you.
Allen hopefully he would. Nods and keeps walking forward.
Lavi Shut UP
Junior: ....y'know...
Smolma though hes scared, terrified really, he turns before quickly walking the other way, using the wall to guide him
Junior: that scraping is goin' on for an awfully long amount of time
Lavi walks as well, he's taking long strides so he's gonna end up passing Allen
Deak: Yeah?
Deak: It's kinda dull noise now, but I guess so.
-- -- you mean he's going to end up goosing Allen b/c these passages are narrow
Allen the wall's too narrow to pass, Allen ends up increasing his own pace to a semi-jog
Junior: Might just be getting used to it? Doesn't sound any more dull to me...
Lavi ‘Ah, hold on, let me squeeze through to get in front of you.’
Smolma just clutches his ice knife tighter, all while hes shaking
Deak
: No, I think I'm more focused on remembering my fake organs being crushed actually.
Junior
: ...............
Deak laug h s
Deak does not think its funny
Allen: op' over.
Junior: Deak, you doing okay?
Allen crouches
Deak: Yep!
Lavi hops the fuck over and starts walking hella fast again
Deak: Other than me not wanting to walk.
Deak: But that's normal.
Allen jogs behind Lavi
Junior: ....then.... I'll carry you, so we can get the hell out of here
Deak: There's no room.
-- -- mmmm woops and there went the other copy
Deak: ..........................................................
Junior: We can make it work, I think
Junior: ......you okay?
Deak is not okay™
Deak: Yeah! I'm! Totally cool!
Junior: .......
Deak walks faster gotta go fast
Junior: You don't sound totally cool
Junior follows after Deak wow someone lit a fire under his ass and it wasn't Lavi for once
Nea Walk faster. There has to be an exit somewhere.
Smolma ohhhh hes shaking
Lavi I'm walking as fast as I can, if I start jogging I'd leave Allen behind.
Deak hyperventilating in small spaces is bad so calm down
Deak: Okay, okay, so there's an exit somewhere right?
-- -- a wall springs up in front of Deak
Deak: We're not stuck yeah?
Deak sLAMS INTO IT
Smolma all while on the verge of tears
Junior: ...I--
Lavi RIP DEAK
Junior: You okay?
-- -- also a wall springs up just ahead of Alma
Deak just kinda l augh s
Deak staggers for a second ow
Lavi: || lAUGHING
Smolma slAMS INTO IT
Deak: U GO LAUghS ]
Smolma falls back with a yelp
Lavi: || EVERYONE JUST SLAMMING INTO WALLS
Smolma: HE IS BLIND))
-- -- to be fair its hella dark in most of the maze
Deak: I-It's okay, let's just go somewhere it's fine.
-- -- except those few places where there's torches
Deak: Your way, go your way-
Smolma whimpering, he carefully gets back up and goes the other way
Allen is gonna trip over Alma lol
Lavi lights a small flame in his hand to see better
Junior: Okay...
Smolma as he walks, those walls are getting frozen
Junior turns to go the other way
Deak follows after junior quickly again
-- -- another wall comes up in front of Junior after a few turns
Junior: fuCK
Deak: ......................
Allen yeah he's still following Lavi
Nea is just getting more and more restless
Deak: I'm going to scream.
Junior: Okay, there's gotta be another branching path from here...
Junior: Between where we were and are
Smolma ice shards are forming on the now frozen walls
Nea ...What's your name again?
Lavi Lavi.
Deak: Lavi Lavi ]
Lavi: || Lavi Love
Junior: So let's try to find another way
Nea And the other's? I never got a formal introduction
Lavi The first you possessed was my younger brother, Junior. The dramatic one was Deak, he's the baby brother.
Deak: Okay, what if I leave a copy here to see what happens when we walk back? The path keeps changing, right?
Junior: .......
Junior: I... don't think that's a good idea
Junior: I mean, if something happens to it.....
Lavi Allen is the deaf one, he has sound telekinesis. Alma is the blind one with Ice Illusions and manipulation.
Deak: It's fine. Plus, what if the path is changing when we walk back to where we don't see?
Junior: You see and kind of feel the same thing, right?
Lavi Icarus is the one with the messed up wings.
Deak: Don't worry, it's just one. It won't hurt anything.
Nea And you have fire.
Junior: If you say so...
Lavi Yes. Deak can multiply and Junior used to have a tail that was his talisman to be able to shift into an animal.
Deak makes another duplicate to just kinda sit and wait there before turning to walk back
Lavi But they chopped it off.
Deak: Okay, let's go back again~
Junior follows after Deak shit shit they should not have come down here
Nea Sounds painful.
-- -- @Lavi/Nea feel free to slip on the icy floors any time
Smolma now the floors getting frozen from his steps
Allen is gonna slip on the ice and grab the wall
Lavi almost slips as well and barely catches himself with the walls.
Lavi: Shit.
Smolma alma was there
-- -- @Deak there's a turn coming up somewhere on your left that wasn't there before
Deak
: A new path?
Lavi: Shot in the dark
Lavi: Alma?
Junior: Looks like
Junior runs a hand through his hair
Junior: Let's hope THIS one leads somewhere
Allen: *calls* 'LIMA! ALMA!
Lavi keeps walking, trying not to slip on ice.
Deak: Wait maybe I should just-
Lavi: || Lima
Junior: lima }
Nea: || lima
Smolma: alma is now lima))
Nea: | lima bean
Allen: ((lima bean yes))
Smolma: i mean he smol enough ))
Junior: "should just"?
Deak makes one more duplicate to stay put at the new turn
Junior oh that
Nea: || deaks just droppin duplicates like breadcrumbs
Junior: seems like lmao }
Deak: thumbs up at bread ]
Lavi: || he must be feeling the pain
Deak: oh shit ]
Deak: i forgot he had a potato ]
Junior: xD }
Junior: of all the things to think about }
Junior: You choose the potato }
Deak: does the potato also duplicate tho ]
Junior: uh??? I don't think so??? }
Deak: rEGARDLESS when youre crushed by walls three different times im p sure u kno ur in pain ]
Deak: and dang so its just w/ original that sucks ]
Junior: xD }
Deak: imagine six times the potato ]
Junior: maybe if he did something special to it idk }
Allen: ((get m a s h e d )))
-- -- op and there went another duplicate. The further away one.
Deak: wOW UNCOOL ]
Lavi: || rip to the duppy
Deak: so much for tHAT IDEA ]
-- -- also there seems to be a lot more scraping sounds than before
Junior: duppy }
Junior: ....uh...
Smolma its getting harder to keep moving
Junior: why are the scraping sounds getting more numerous?
Allen quickly learns how to skate without skates. Brrr, btw
Lavi: || got lazy
Deak just gonna not die through that pain and being crushed a fourth or fifth time he forgot
Lavi: || didn't wanna write it all so duppy
Deak: Let's go, just move.
Junior: ...I'd say...
Junior: Lets move fast
Deak turns the corner and just,,, moves fast
Smolma his entire body begins to tremble
Deak: That's... probably a smart idea.
Smolma small shards of ice begins to grow on his skin
-- -- btw that more numerous scraping sound is on Lavi's/Nea's/Allen's/Alma's side too
Junior follows behind fast
Junior: I have my moments
Deak snickers
Lavi is just ignoring the scraping sounds.
Nea What do you think's at the end of this?
Deak: At least now we know not to enter crypts?
Lavi is actually melting the ice with each step he takes so...
Lavi More fucked up shit.
Junior: ...this isn't a typical crypt
-- -- should find Alma near another wall-mounted torch fairly soon
Smolma lavi must be in pain cause the walls and floor are covered in ice
Allen decides to just use his arms to push himself forward, using his feet to just slide. This would be kind of fun under different circumstances. He ends up tripping on lavi's footprints though so he just hops into each once instead.
Deak: Hmm, true~
-- -- Deak and Junior should be passing up a torch about now too
Smolma just chokes out a sob
Nea Your brother told me not to let you use your powers
Lavi it doesn't take too much effort to give out more heat than to use his fire.
Lavi Yeah, well. Too bad.
Smolma tentitively forces himself to move again
-- -- aaaand a wall comes up just ahead of Deak and Junior
Deak: Are we able to take the torch or is it stuck?
Lavi: Alma?
-- -- the torch is stuck
Lavi calling out some more to see if he's nearby
Deak lame
Deak laME x2
Junior: damn it!
Deak: .....Another wall.
Junior: Its like the thing fucking knows where we're trying to go
Smolma covers his ears as he hears that voice scream in his head
Deak slides to the ground and just stays there
Deak: I'm done.
Deak: I'm going to die right here, I'm not moving.
Allen just keep joggin'.
-- -- and in the place where that wall came up, another one comes up again just a little closer. And then another one after that.
Junior: Um, no, we are not giving up!
Junior: I'm not letting you give up!
Lavi: || At least it's just moving walls and corridors changing and not trap doors B)
Deak already gave up
Junior: B) }
Lavi: || B)
Allen: (( 'o'))
Junior: Deak, y'can't just give up, we just go back, and try again until somethin' fucking works
Deak: I'll just be crushed like the rest of me, it's okay, I've felt it seven times anyways.
Junior: No it is certainly NOT okay
-- -- and a wall comes up from the other side they came from now
-- -- woops
Junior: ......
Junior: fu
Deak lauGHS
Junior: cking
Junior: shit
Deak: We're dead now.
Lavi is a little fed up and uses his flames to send a long tendril of flames ahead of him along the path. It stings a bit.
Deak just covers his face and laughs this is fine™
-- -- btw the other crypt maze should be experiencing something kind-of the same tbh
-- -- walls closing in and all that jazz
Smolma op that flame barely misses alma, making him scream
Junior is just looking back and forth fuck fuck there's no other passage
Lavi stops walking because of a fucking wall
Smolma ohhh hes trapped hes teapped
Smolma just slowly slides down the wall and starts crying
Smolma ice spikes growin all around him
Lavi
: I'm hating this place more and more
Junior just laughs a little and sinks down next to Deak
Nea is it possible to hyperventilate in someone's head becau se
Lavi rubs hands together because it's time to bring the heat.
Lavi Hopefully you won't feel this too much.
Allen backs off from Lavi oh boy walls closing in
Junior: ....this is not how I pictured dying
Nea Just do SOMETHING
Smolma by now the spikes are pillars
Deak: If it helps, it'll hurt a lot?
Junior: ....it doesn't help, but thanks for the warning anyway
Junior: .....d'you think that....?
Lavi FIRES A BLAST OF FLAMES AHEAD THAT'S HOT ENOUGH TO BE A LASER TBH, SO THIS IS REALLY GONNA FUCKING HURT HIM.
Junior: ..........
Junior: Nevermind
Nea FUCKING HELL BUDDY
Smolma: goood thing that ice was up))
Allen WHOAH LAVI
Smolma: its so cold it withstood that blast, or else it'd be kentucky fried smol))
Junior is just gonna snuggle up to Deak's side and wait for death haha
Junior: I love you, bro
Lavi and that's a really hot beam
Smolma why was there weight against his pillars?
Junior: Like one comes up, then another flush against it, et cetera }
Junior: I'm not good at explaining things I guess xD }
Lavi: || But shouldn't it come down like after a few of the walls are up in front of them? Giving a fighting chance if they have some strong power?
Lavi: || Like centipede-ish effect
-- --: MMMM NOPE }
Smolma: yeah having them all die by wall seems sudden))
-- --: There is absolutely a way out of this but that isn't it B) }
Lavi: || trap door >_>
-- --: Mmmmm close }
Deak: just accept ur fates and die like deak and junior ]
Lavi has to stop because it hurts too much and leans against the wall gasping while clutching his hands close.
Smolma bet you want alma there now nea you jerk
Nea has shoved himself as far back in lavi's head as he can
Nea yeS HE DOES ACTUALLY
Lavi: || You mean, accept their fate without fighting or even thinking of their beloved older brother in their final moments.
Junior: yea that }
Junior: xD }
Lavi: || You know, the brother who TOOK CARE OF YOU TWO AND NOW YOU'RE JUST IGNORING, DEAK?
Deak: yes exactly ]
Lavi: || wow, one of these days, he's gonna stop caring.
Smolma more and more of his ice begins to stab the walls and floor
Deak: wow ]
Smolma its becoming violent
Deak: i am hurt : ( ]
Lavi: || Lavi's hurt
Nea Come on, come ON! There has to be SOMETHING
Junior: Junior thought about it but he didn't bring it up b/c he didn't want to make things even more depressing lol }
Lavi: || mentally and phsyically B(
Deak: deak is also hurt ]
Deak: also mentally and physically ]
Deak: i didnt see lavi get crushed by walls seven times ]
Deak: s m h ]
Junior: That was his "...do you think....? ........nevermind..." xD }
Lavi: || You're the one who kept leaving so many behind
Junior: tru }
Deak: I DIDNT THINK THEYD ALL GET CR USHED ]
-- --: :3c }
Smolma as hes sobbing, the entire halls beginning to have spikes shoot up from the ground
Lavi: || Kit's merciless, you should've known
Deak: i should have ]
Deak: s m h @ self ]
Lavi slides down the wall and curls up a bit
-- --: You know what the definition of insanity is? Doing the same thing repeatedly expecting a different result }
Nea Get UP
Lavi in his possible final moments, he's hoping that Deak, Junior and Alma are okay. ( Mostly his brothers though. Sorry Alma. )
Smolma wow
Smolma thanks
Smolma always knew he was the one everyone would perfer died
Lavi ( At least he looks out for you and you actually appreciate him. )
Nea makes a frustrated noise
Deak stands up again and just looks around
Deak: There's gotta be somethin' we can do to not die...
Smolma that may lessen since hes the one alone and no one really cares about
Junior just leans on Deak. Least he'll get to spend his last moments with one of his brothers. Both would be nice. Or, y'know, not dying. Not dying would be ni--
Smolma out..... let me out
Nea shoves Lavi back because if you one move then he'll have to
Lavi You're gonna hurt a lot if you switch with me now.
Smolma those ice shards are stabbing harder
Nea I'd rather hurt then fucking /die/.
Smolma oh look, hes damaging the walls
Lavi Give me a moment to fucking recover from the crippling pain, ass hat, there's no way OUT THAT I CAN SEE I JUST MADE A HOLE IN THE WALL AND IT GOT COVERED BY ANOTHER WALL.
Deak: Junior, get up 'n do somethin'
Nea THEN LET ME LOOK
Lavi FINE
-- -- @Deak/Junior the walls close in from both sides aaand... stop at the edges where the light from the torch starts
Deak: ................What.
Lavi SHOVES NEA TO THE FOREFRONT OF HIS MIND
Smolma shakily stands
Nea retakes contro-- /hooooly shit/
Nea curls in on himself
Nea: FFFFUCK.
Lavi Enjoying yourself?
Deak was it
Junior: ............
Smolma holds his hands up against the wall right infront of him
Deak too hot
Lavi Get up and do something, Nea.
Deak: Hey, we're alive.
Smolma a hug pillar that dented that door way back when begins forming above his head
Smolma streeetchhing down the hall
Nea presses his back against the wall and struggles (really struggles) to his feet
Junior
: We are?
Deak
: Yeah, it stopped.
Lavi still hissing in pain himself, he still feels it, damn.
Smolma that halls temp near him is wayyy below zero
Deak: We weren't crushed by walls for an eighth time!
Deak: Er... well... first for you.
-- -- @Alma the walls are still coming up but they're getting partly jammed by the ice in the way
Nea clenches his jaw shut tight and starts look around for anything of use.
Deak: Regaaaaardless, let's figure out the way outta here.
Junior: ....why did it stop this time?
Smolma more ice forms to pust them down
Nea knows it's probably useless but he's not gonna just sit around
Smolma oh look, some frost touches the tips of nea/lavi's fingers thats on the wall
Deak: It looks like the light from the torch has something to do with it?
Deak: At least, that's where it stopped.
Junior glances up at the torch
Smolma sHOOT THAT HUGE ICE SHARD AT THE DOOR
Lavi too bad we don't feel the cold thanks to my powers....
-- -- its not really a door its a wall lo
Nea more like his forearm, since his hands are too wrecked to touch anything right now
Deak: Maybe we can... pull the torch or something?
Junior: Maybe?
Junior picks self off the floor and pulls on the torch
Smolma fine, ice forms on nea/lavi
Lavi I fucking hate this.
-- -- there's a Click and the torch moves off the wall just a little, then the wall where the torch is mounted starts sliding back to form a hall
Nea: I don't... I don't see anything.
Deak blinks
Lavi: || I don't think Nea/Lavi are near a torch xD
-- --: I did mention they'd find Alma near a torch X3 }
Deak: just conveniently put a torch there ]
Deak: ;' ) ]
Smolma accidentally places his hand on torch
Lavi: || But the wall thing happened and I thought they were separated again
Lavi: || like, blocked off
Smolma op it slips down
Lavi: || because of the damn walls
-- --: no the wall was ahead of where Alma was and behind where Lavi/Nea and Allen were XD }
-- --: CLEARLY I CANNOT BE TRUSTED TO COMMUNICATE }
Nea: || O
Nea: || that makes... more sense
Deak: LAUGHING ]
Lavi: || I'm usually good at keeping up but gd
-- --: its probably my fault lbh here xD }
Deak: Well, lets go!
Junior shrugs
Junior follows the hall what have they got to lose at this point?
Deak adventures forth
Nea somehow just now notices alma
-- -- the accidentally grabbed torch by Alma opens the pathway lol
Nea and that path. congrats kid you're redeemed in his eyes
Smolma flinches a bit at the noise. Did... it the path open again?
Lavi Grab him
Lavi But let him know it's you.
Smolma tho that halls still frozen
Nea laughs a little
Nea: You did it, twerp
Smolma like its covered in frost and ice shards
Lavi S i g h i n g
Smolma: ....
Nea slip slides his way over to Alma
Lavi At least call him by his name.
Nea he's just radiating relief. getting crushed sounded like a bad time.
Nea: I mean-- Alma.
Deak it is a bad time
Nea Happy now?
Lavi but at least Alma will know that it's them now.
Lavi Yes.
Deak its a very very bad time
-- -- the newly opened path is very long, but its a straight shot all the way through, until hitting a wider path in the center where the two torch walls come together. Lavi and Deak, you turn right, Lavi/Nea and Alma, left, upon reaching the wider hall.
Lavi since he'd never call Alma a twerp.
Smolma guess who locked himself up b/c of bein aloneeeeee
Smolma this smol
Lavi: || Lavi and Deak
Lavi: || U mean, Junior
Deak: lAugHin g ]
Nea: ...Kid?
Lavi: || Existential Crisis is gonna hit
Nea I think he's broken
Junior: I CLEARLY CANNOT BE TRUSTED TO COMMUNICARTE }
Lavi Let me out
Smolma just shaking and crying
Junior: communicate* }
Junior: fml }
Smolma u b rite nea
Deak: U TRIED ]
Nea shoves Lavi forward again
Lavi: Woah
Smolma now hes like the coldest hes ever been
Deak stops at the wider part of the path and just sits down
Deak: Wait, wait, I'm dead, slow down.
Lavi shakes himself off before crouching in front of Alma, radiating warmth because that boy looks way too cold
Junior is just gonna sit down and lean against Deak
Lavi: Alma, hey, buddy. It's just me....and the other guy. But right now it's me.
Junior: ...me too...
Smolma like his skins completely white by now
Lavi reaches out to rub Alma's arms, it cools his hands so him using more heat to warm Alma up doesn't hurt.
Nea Can't you just pick him up and go?
Lavi: C'mon, c'mon....
Junior: ....think Lavi's okay?
Junior kinda didn't want to think about it but welp haha
Junior here they are
Deak: He's tough, 'm sure he's fine.
Junior: Yea....
Junior is trying not to sound unsure but its not working haha
Smolma steam actually comes out under lavis fingers
Deak: Well, the sooner we move the sooner we can meet up with him again.
Deak: Let's go, if you're ready?
Lavi ice shards have been melted, he's gonna grab the small and start running his ass down the damn hallway of jackassery
Nea The path is RIGHT THERE.
Lavi and by grab, he means, carry him
Junior: "the hallway of jackassery" lmfao }
Lavi: || Well it is
Smolma yup now theres just steam where ever almas touching lavi
Junior heaves a sigh
Lavi: Shit. He's never really been that cold.
Junior: I guess?
Deak gets back up
Deak srry junior who was leaning on me
Deak returns to lethargically making his way to the right
Junior gets up with a wince. Really feeling that tail bone right about now tbh
Junior: ..........
Junior: I hear....
Junior: footsteps
Junior: and
Junior: hissing?
Deak: ...What?
Deak: I don't hear anything?
Junior has really sensitive ears
Deak only has sensitive ears for being crushed by walls atm
Junior kind of a side effect of being an animal sometimes
Nea Can't you move any faster?
Lavi Bossy.
Junior: No, I hear it. Its getting closer.
Nea I'm impatient.
Deak: ...?
Lavi Goes for a run to a goddamn sprint since this one just wants movement, you're lucky he wants to get out of here too or else he'd slow down to a walk.
Junior moves in front of Deak protectively but he's hoping that's Lavi coming
Deak i will throw this potato as a weapon
Lavi makes it to the place with the wider hall
Junior !!!!!!!!
Junior: Lavi!
Lavi !!!!!!
Lavi: Junior! Deak!
Lavi skids to a stop and jogs over to them, still holding on to Alma, who be steaming.
Junior: ....what the Hell are you carrying and why is it hissing
Deak flops to the ground again
Smolma yuuuppp be steaming
Junior op and down goes Deak
Lavi: It's Alma, we got separated and his powers went out of control
Junior: ...oh
Junior: Okay?
Lavi: Yeah.
Lavi: Also, I had to use my powers when the walls started closing in
Junior is just happy to see Lavi alive and well tb---
Junior squints
Nea Haha oops
Junior Nea what did we fucking talk about
Lavi: I'm fine now. Alma's helping, even though he's out of it right now.
Smolma oh look the walls are freezing over
Nea whistles innocently even though only Lavi can hear him right now
Junior #Betrayed
Junior: ....h o l y hell its getting cold in here...
Deak: He needs to calm down.
Lavi: Alma. Alma, c'mon.
Deak: If hes gonna freeze everythin' up, get him outta here.
Deak is too dead for this shit thanks
Junior rubs his arms holy shit
Smolma screw you deak peeps actually care bout you
Nea is very glad that he's wearing someone who doesn't get cold
Lavi adjusts his hold on Alma and rubs his back while quietly telling the small one that he's got him now, he's safe again.
Deak shut up, i wasnt talking to you
Smolma: wearing someone))
Junior that still sounds creepy Nea. Like some Most Dangerous Game kinda shit.
Deak control your goddamn ice, kid
Lavi slowly cranks up the heat to both warm Alma up and the room.
Nea: || skin suit.
Lavi: || Meat suit.
Deak just goes back to hanging his head
Junior: I'm just gonna stop you both right there }
Junior goes back to Deak and flops down next to him
Junior: R-run into a bit of trouble on your side, did you?
Smolma you try being alone, being the one who can die and not really have an impact with his death, and considered being a liability after getting his sight stolen
Smolma aka, fuck you deak
Deak fuck off brat
Deak do whatever the fuck you want, but do it away from me
Smolma no you fuck off
Deak fine
Junior also, flopping down when you had a tail cut off from the end of your spine... not recommended. That hurts.
Deak gets back up and walks away the way he came
Junior: ......
Smolma thanks to lavi his ice isn't spreading, but hes still silent
Junior: Deak!
Junior grabs him before he can run off
Lavi keeps trying to comfort Alma with quiet words.
Lavi: || look man, I'm terrible with words, so imagine that Lavi's talking to Alma like he's one of his brothers back when they were younger and scared about something. He sounds very motherly tbh. Like gdi, Lavi, why are you such a mom. But he's doing his utmost best to calm Alma.
Nea This group still has so many problems
Junior okay but did we survive longer than your group?
Smolma doesn't mean hes listening rn
Deak: What? It's cold here so I'm walking away. Let me go, jeez.
Smolma or that he believes anything thats being said
Deak scowls and pulls away to keep walking off
Nea not yet you haven't
Junior huffs and goes to follow dragging Deak with them
Lavi he's still gonna keep talking and kind of walking around.
Lavi: || oh god, he's doing a baby bounce type shit. JFC
Smolma though hes not crying anymore, so progress
Junior: wow Lavi xD }
Smolma: thats so cute tho-))
Lavi: || He's such a mom.
Junior: tb fair tho he is the eldest of two brothers even if they're technically the same age haha }
Nea is stuck in a mom and his only other host options are out of range
Lavi: || he usually gets along with other little kids younger than them so he just moms them.
Lavi: || Especially if they're orphans. He tries to make their day a little better somehow.
Nea See what I mean? One person ends up holding up the entire group.
Lavi I don't really see a place to move on from here. So can it.
Junior are you calling us incompetent
Lavi: || He's grown attached to little Alma. );
Lavi: || Gonna mom him.
Nea But you could be looking. Instead you're just being a mother hen.
Lavi glances around the room while 'motherhenning'
Lavi Oh look, didn't see anything.
Lavi Other than walls, and torches and a goddamn ceiling.
Nea :/
-- -- the wider hall, which is wide enough for six people or so to walk down it side-by-side, goes on for a ways. Its mostly dark, but likewise has some torches lining the path. At the far end of it, you come to a smallish chamber with a pedestal in the center. On top of it is a gleaming object.
Lavi: Junior
Junior: Hm?
Lavi: Do you smell anything around here? Wood, maybe? I'd feel better if you had a stick again.
Junior: ...what
Junior: Oh
Junior inhales
Lavi walking along the path, before Nea yells at him again, while continuing to quietly comfort and mom Alma.
Junior: ...mostly just old stone. Dust. You guys. Not a lot in the way of wood.
Lavi makes a frustrated sound at being told that.
Lavi: Maybe the next room we come across.
Lavi keeps walking down the path.
Smolma: hope they won’t need smol powers for a bit))
Junior shrugs
Junior: Nothing more specific planned for Alma yet lol }
Lavi spots the pedestal. !!!
Lavi: Junior!
Nea What's /that?/
Junior tilts his head
Lavi: Come look at this.
Junior: Yeah, I see it
Smolma: yet/))
-- -- on top of the pedestal looks like a large gemstone or other. Its got markings carved into it. They look vaguely familiar from somewhere.
Lavi: Correct me if I'm wrong but, I think this might be a talisman.
Junior: Is it?
Junior tilts head
Lavi looks at Junior.
Junior: Not the kind I typically use if so
Junior: I mean, its similar
Lavi: It could help
Junior shrugs
Nea Are you sure we should touch it
Junior: Maybe
Lavi: Hm... Nea's right.
Nea Of course I am
Lavi: Shut up.
Lavi: Not you, Junior.
Junior hums
Lavi Shut up.
Nea is laughing
Lavi: It could be a risk to touch it.
Deak yawns and closes his eye call me when u guys r done
Lavi hello mental box, ur old friend.
Junior bye Nea
Nea you know what?? screw this
Junior: It could be.
Nea jumps to Junior. he doesn't want control right now, he's just sick of Lavi's shit
Junior: It could not be.
Junior um excuse u who invited u in
Lavi He invited himself
Nea I'm just going to hang out back here for awhile.
Lavi: If he gets too annoying, put him in a mental box
Junior: Did I say you could jump into my fucking head?
Junior why can't I just evict him instead
Nea Don't do that.
Lavi: Our old man's mental training helped out great.
Nea I don't know where I'll go if you throw me out
Junior fucking watch me.
Lavi: Well, you could always just give him a mind smack
Nea JUMPS BACK TO LAVI
Lavi Welcome back.
Nea I don't like him.
Junior good.
Lavi chuckles and adjusts his hold on Alma, petting the small one's hair.
Junior: We could just... leave it here
Lavi frowns.
Lavi: Wait
Lavi: Did Deak ever eat his potato?
Junior: .............
Nea He has a potato?
Junior r we really doing this Indiana Jones shit
Lavi yes, we r
Lavi you got a better idea, then say it now
Junior that doesn't actually work Lavi
Lavi We found some potatoes earlier and had a small lunch.
Nea Damn.
Lavi: Okay, fine, you don't wanna try it then leave it there or just risk grabbing it.
Nea Get it, it might work.
Lavi Deak and I aren't on speaking terms and if I ask for the potato he might eat it to spite me.
Nea ....
Lavi I know
Junior he really just might
Junior whatever, he's just gonna grab it
Junior YOLO
Deak: deak never moved since hes sleeping ]
Deak: with his potato tyvm ]
Nea: || lazy butt
Deak: tRU ]
Lavi: || diva lazy butt
Deak: w/e ur still not getting his potato ]
Lavi: || but they can B)
Deak: he'll punch u stay away ]
-- -- after grabbing the gem thingy, nothing happens. There's a flight of stairs and a door just ahead.
Deak: that is HIS potato ]
Lavi: || He's close enough in Nea's range
Lavi: || Ah nvm, ur lucky stairs appeared
Junior: Don't steal Deak's potato he's the only one that never ate lol }
Junior: rude af }
Deak: ye tru he didnt eat dont take his potato ]

Nea: || dang it deak, eat

Nea If Deak's just gonna be lazy then... I mean......
Nea jumps to the Drama Triplet
Deak get--
Deak srsly
Lavi a bit whoozy
Junior: LOL }
Nea If you're not going to use this, I will
Deak i said i didnt mind so
Deak u do u im going back to sleep
Nea brushes himself off
Nea: There we go
Junior: .........
Lavi: You just gotta deal with his 'I don't cares' and 'whatevers'
Lavi: But let's move on
Junior: That.... works I guess?
Nea: It's a small price to pay
Lavi heads on up the steps
Deak also leave my potato alone
Deak thats my only request thank u
Nea You better stay awake, if I need to jump you're gonna just flop over
Lavi: Trust me, he can also evict you like Junior and I can.
Nea Can I eat the potato
Nea starts up the stairs
Deak no, please dont
Nea But I'm hungry.
Deak okay you can eat it
Junior follows Lavi
Deak im going to sleep dont wake me up or be stupid
Junior y'know its just gonna end up in your own stomach anyway Deak
Nea ...man you give up easily.
Nea Pulls out the potato and just straight up bites it
Deak its not giving up, i jut dont care honestly
Deak just
Lavi: Want me to heat it up for you?
Nea !
Nea: Yes, absolutely
Nea tosses him the tater
Deak dozes off dont let nea kill me pls
-- -- up the stairs and through the door, you come into a room loaded full of just... stuff. Lots and lots of stuffy. Most of it shiny stuff.
Lavi keeps his hold on Alma and catches the flying potato
Junior oooooooh treasure trove
Nea: ...That's a lot of loot.
Lavi heats up the potato
Lavi: Wow
Junior suddenly likes this castle a little bit more
Lavi: I don't recommend touching anything.
Nea: ...Yeah.
Junior or maybe like moderately more
Junior: Why not?
Nea wants all this shiny stuff, but...
Nea: Why would you touch ANYTHING in this castle?
Lavi hands the potato back to Ne
Lavi Nea*
Nea: || ne
Deak: ne ]
Lavi: || nene
Junior holds up the gemstone thingy
Nea munches on his baked potato
Junior: I touched this and nothing happened
Nea: And you think we're gonna get that lucky twice?
Junior: I touched a torch and a pathway opened up
Junior: I touched like four levers and it opened the big gates
Nea: .........
Lavi: Junior
Junior: Touching things is good
Nea: You know damn well what I meant
Nea: This place doesn't want us to have good things.
Nea: It wants us dead.
Junior: Inanimate objects have no concept of desires
Lavi sighs against Alma's hair. Yup, this castle definitely wants us dead.
Nea B|
Lavi: Whatever twisted asshole made this castle wants us dead.
Nea: You're a smartass, you know that right
Junior: I like that phrasing better
Lavi eye roll and continues on through the room, trying not to touch any of the nice shinies
Smolma oh look he leans a lil into lavi
Junior: but I still think you're both paranoid
Nea: It's not paranoia if you're right
Lavi rubs Alma's back while walking.
Junior goes and picks up a jeweled flagon and waves it around
Junior: Oh look I'm touching a thing
Nea looks around suspiciously
Lavi: ............
Junior: and nothing
Nea Deak your brother is a fucking maniac
Junior: is happening
Lavi: || delayed reaction, perhaps, give it a moment
Smolma his tiny fingers curl into lavis clothing
-- -- literally nothing happens.
Nea: ...
Junior: ....
Junior: mmm
Lavi: I'm still not touching anything in this room, it'd just weigh us down.
Junior: still waiting on that impending doom
Lavi: Junior.
Nea: It's not like any of this stuff matters in here
Junior: Hm?
Lavi: Enough.
Junior rolls eye
Junior: Y'really take me for some greedy gold hoarder or something?
Lavi honestly, he's paranoid about something bad happening because he doesn't want anything bad happening to his goddamn brothers (and Nea) or Alma and his brother gives him fucking flack.
Lavi is just gonna keep walking.
Junior is just gonna browse the room a bit lol bye then
Nea grumbles around a mouthful of potato
Lavi if Nea were in his head right now he'd hear some very dark thoughts.
Nea sorry man I gotta pilot your lazy bro
Lavi dark and negative af.
Nea: Let's just... Leave.
Nea all this shit is too tempting
Junior also he's keeping that jeweled flagon it nice
Lavi if there's another door or some stairs in this room then Lavi's gone fromthat room.
Smolma look who has some color in his flesh
Lavi sees that Alma's regaining color and sighs in relief. At least he's getting better.
-- -- there is another door. The room beyond also has some stuff, all very nice stuff but less shiny. Lots of wood and cases and odds and ends. There's some weapons too, mounted or sitting inside other stuff
Lavi stares at the weapons. Nope, he's not going to touch them.
Nea exits the room of temptation. except this one isn't any better
Lavi it's something that could actually be helpful but more of a risk that some stupid shit will happen.
Nea: ...Some of those could be useful
Lavi: I know.
Lavi keeps walking
Junior is just gonna keep browsing alone then I guess
Nea: ....
Nea is weeeak. look at those weapons,,,
Lavi: I wish I had my knife on me.
Nea realizes that nothing he takes will actually stay with him. B(
Smolma when hes in it again, he can make you guys weapons
Junior already added some coins and jewels to his pockets tbh... found some fancy dishware...
Nea really needs to get back to places he recognizes
Junior some rolled up papers that look costly
Smolma groans
-- -- the third room is much like the second room was, a little more rustic looking. Beyond that, the next door leads out into the street outside.
Lavi: || There's a street
-- --: yep }
Lavi: || A street?
Smolma the smols moving
-- --: Yep }
Lavi: || guess he's on the street then
-- --: Not a huge street, but a street }
Smolma but his eyes remain dulled tho
Lavi: Hey, Alma. You awake?
-- --: did u think I misspelled a word xD }
Junior found this cool dagger mounted on the wall--
Smolma shrugs a bit
Junior !!!!!!!
Lavi hugs the small.
Smolma just rests on lavi
Smolma the hug feels really really nice, even if he doesn't respond much to it
Junior polished stones!!!
Nea is just gonna follow Lavi outta here. bye junior.
Junior gathers them all up and explore the next room
Lavi glancing around the street
Lavi: || junior, you don't have a bag to carry all this shit omg xD
Nea looks around. everything looks the same.
Lavi: Didn't expect to see a street here.
Nea snorts
Junior: tbh he dropped p much all but the flagon and stones xD }
Nea: Really?
Lavi: || g o o d
Lavi: || even tho I feel like that flagon will haunt him later
Nea: This place is huge.
Lavi: True.
Lavi: Wait, how long have you been here?
Nea: Weeks, maybe?
Lavi: ........
Smolma: had to look up what a flagon was))
Lavi: Fuck.
Junior: Junior: um excuse u flagons carry stuff to drink in them and none of us have had a lick of water for like a day in a half at least }
Lavi uh-oh, he's looking concerned now.
Smolma they can make water
Smolma you know, fire n ice elementals are there
Lavi: || As long as it doesn't have poison on the metal
Nea: I honestly wasn't expecting to find anyone else here, but I guess they got sick of looking for me.
-- -- in the street are a few smaller buildings on all sides. The street gets a bit wider after going around them. To each side, the streets bend around until you can't see down them and they disappear. Ahead is a zigzagging path up some cliffs to what looks like a Keep above.
Lavi: Nea
Lavi: Recognize anything?
Nea: Huh?
Smolma: .... where....
Nea: Uh...
Lavi quietly tells Alma where they're currently at, describes it for him in detail.
Junior oh yes he hit the jackpot
Nea scratches his head and walks around while looking around
Junior fucking s c o r e
Junior comes scampering out after where Lavi and the others went
Smolma hes coming back to them
Nea: I haven't explored much out here...
Junior ....uhhh assuming he can find them RIP
Lavi: Hmmm
Nea: I've just been keeping up around the tower.
Junior did not think Lavi would really go that far ahead
Lavi pets Alma's head.
Nea: And half the time I wasn't really paying attention to where I went
Lavi: ..........
Lavi s i g h s
Nea didnt expect to have to remember this shit later
Junior: LA-VIII???
Lavi turns towards the doors.
Lavi: JUNIOR?
Lavi turns back around with an eye roll
Junior follows Lavi's voice with a grin on his face
Junior is skipping tbh
Junior like hardcore skipping
Smolma leans into that touch tho
Lavi is not seeing this skipping since he turned back around to look at Nea and is petting Alma's hair.
Junior um well too bad b/c he's going to skip an excited circle around you Lavi
Junior: Guess what?
Lavi: You found something.
Junior grins bigger
Junior: I found materials
Lavi: Daggers?
Lavi: Oh
Lavi: O h
Lavi: To make a talisman?
Junior: Mhm~
Lavi: Nice!
Junior: Not a GREAT one, but they'll do the job for now
Lavi: Whatever works
Junior: But yes I also got daggers
Lavi nods
Junior: And a small sword or two
Junior which are all tied to his belt and look ridiculous all together tbh
Nea snort s
Junior but hey he's only got so many hands
Junior: So I vote
Junior: We take a breather
Junior: so I can make some talismans and we can all get some rest
Lavi: I'm fine with that. But we also need to hurry up and find Nea's body
Lavi: He's been here for weeks
Nea: It'll survive without me
Nea maybe. probably.
Smolma: it'd be funny if it was in the treasure room))
Nea doesn't actually know
Nea: || because he's a gem
Nea: || ba dum tsh
Junior so like you really are terrible at navigation huh
Lavi: || HAHA, Just hidden under the coins
Nea: || haha jk he's a nasty lump of coal
Junior: lmao }
Lavi: The small buildings, perhaps?
Junior nods
Junior: Maybe we'll even find a bed...
Lavi starts walking towards the buildings
Junior follows but also fidgeting. Little bit excited tbh
Junior just a little
Nea follows after them
-- -- the inside of the buildings, after searching a few rooms, appear to have a lot of beds.
Lavi he's gonna set Alma down on one after warning him a little that he was setting him down on a nice bed.
Smolma he doesn't respond
Smolma there's not enough progress for that
Junior is just gonna find the biggest bed and drag both his brothers to it
Nea is in one of your brothers excuse me
Lavi is dragged, ends up dragging Alma too bc he doesn't wanna leave him alone.
Smolma: daww that was cute lavi))
Junior then go into some mental corner or something
Nea wow okay fine im not invited
Nea retreats to a 'mental corner' enjoy your unconscious brother
Junior I will thanks that's kinda the point of sleep anyway
Junior: RIP Nea }
Nea: || rip in rest
Nea: || shit tho that was rad af, thanks for lettin me swoop in uwu
Junior: ye I'm glad u liked it xD }
