Void Rift (rp) - Intermission

Three others also have spikes, but the fifth has a golden orb resting on the bottom.


You... still don't make progress.
"This is as nonsensical as it is a time waste."


Another tear, Ihra? returning to bring down her axe hard on Abigail, before leaving just before Sapphire shows up with a few puppets.
"Damnit!"


"Hey, you'll hurt yourself..."

________________________________

"Nope. A hallway."

A few minutes later, you see towering doors.
"Now, that's the library.

 

"So, this library. Is it populair."

 

Stephanie jumps down through the fifth.


I decide to start moonwalking down the hallway for the fun of it.


Abigail remains where she is, unconscious and bleeding.


Artemis angles the blade of her scythe downward before pushing it into the ground, trying to run over to Abigail before tripping over and crying, her knee grazed and bleeding slightly.

 

I'm completely lost at what's going on in Stephanie's story. Something with trapdoors, but that's it.

 

She's in a weird realm within an eldritch tome trying to get a relic, essentially. It's meant to be puzzling (for her).

 

Could I refer it to 'Shattered Minds' quest?

 

@Exvhius
I carefully place Aj and Stephanie down, flying upwards and checking if the battle is still raging.

 

I believe it's a reference to the game 'Deathstate'.

 

And what about your story? What's happening?

 

Well, I'm babysitting two unconscious people, Voidfiller's dealing with shit, and Crystal's... being Crystal, I guess.

 

Crystal I don't know.
Don't know the name of your character. But those people are Stephanie and...?

 

Stephanie and Aj
(And also the name of my character is Thirteen)

 

Thirteen and Voidfiller. Where do you get these name?

 

"Thousands of creatures go in every day. So... once you find it, yes."

The gold orb resonates with power next to her.


"Okay, idiot. Go get the ladder."


Sapphire panics, leaving almost immediately.


Rineth helps her up.
"Okay, you're going home."

Abigail's body vanishes, armor and all.

________________________________

The battle's over, but Abigail's dead - you catch her vanishing.

 

"Can't wait to meet them."
Bardock bursts of excitement.

 

Stephanie grabs the orb.


I go out and get the ladder, before going back to the hallway and putting it down, crawling along it on the floor.


Artemis reaches out to Rineth, crying.

 

"Well, open the door." Ragnyon chuckles.

It pulses with energy, and she wakes back in Maralune with it in hand.


"Press button with ladder."


Rineth hugs her, taking her home.

 

"What me?"
Bardock looks at the door.

 

Stephanie looks around, a little disoriented.


I push the button with the ladder.


Artemis seems to calm down, holding on to Rineth.

 

"Yeah. Go in."

She can see Rineth carry Artemis through a portal, and Aj still slumped over.


A trapdoor opens up beneath you, and you land in what seems to be a giant fishtank.

Someone's going after a silver orb - but it's power... it has to be what you're looking for.


He takes her through a portal, knocking on the house door.
