Partners In Peril: Felix and Loki

[Whether willing or just, there comes a magical shove to force you and someone else through the door leading down into the earth.]

[The passageway is cold, but at least it's well lit. Albeit with flames of blue fire.]

[It goes down, down, down, until you reach the first part....]

[As Loki steps off the start and the first square, he will hear a musical note.]

[Then a second as he steps on the next square.]

[Then a third.]

[Because Solar Flare is running this, there was gonna be music somewhere.]

[Are the tones important? He will try to remember them, or note any pattern in them, but he's not a trained musician and probably can't tell more than "this is higher/lower than the others" and judge the length.]

[They do seem to be making some kind of cohesive tune, though whether that's important or simply aesthetic is up for Loki to decide.]

[He'll hope it's aesthetic.]

[And turning to the west. He probes the square with his foot, making sure the edge is straight and he can find both corners before stepping over three squares.]

[Bee biii boo]

[Goes the tunes.]

[Nothing dire happened yet.]

[Turning to the south, again making sure he's stepping across a straight edge and counting two edges.]

[Doo dee]

[No death yet]

[Not dying is one of his best skills!]

[Turning west, counting out four edges to cross.]

[His survival streak continues!]

[With a ditty.]

[And no frantic shouts from above!]

[North. One square.]

[Indeed, no shouts.]

[Boop]

[A grin. He's past the trickiest.]

[West, counting two edges. Maybe a little more confidently than before.]

[Dee doo]

[Still not dead]

[And turning north, holding his arms out a bit as he crosses the second edge.]

[Bee boo]

[And he doesn't feel anything. Only the slight chill and crackle that's been in the air since he entered the place.]

[He's just going to do as thorough a sweep as possible while waiting for an answer from Fatalis, though being very careful to always lead with a foot, stop his probing as soon as he hits an edge, and not let his arms go farther out than his foot.]

[Sadly, there's no real indication of what's around the corner specifically while being in the square.]

[And like he told Fatalis, he's gonna go one square to the east.]

[Loki steps forward.]

[No musical note this time.]

[Instead its pain as electricity courses through him, far more intense than it was at the door. It won't kill him, but the shock is lasting longer, and it's more intense-]

[And when it subsides, Loki is going to feel his knees give out.]

[No time for instructions, which way does Loki fall?]

[Screaming. A lot of it.]

[He is going to lean the way he came, to the west, hoping to fall into the safe square.]

[Perhaps the safest choice he could have made.]

[There will be a lingering effects of shock. Not as strong as that one, it's going to be a problem for sure.]

[As Felix pushes the button]

[There's a sliding and clicking sound.]

[Once he gets Felix's okay, he scoots over to the east, still sitting, but moving as fast as he can. Racing the ticking sound.]

[The clicking was just once.]

[Perhaps the new, non-painful square that was in the electric shock's place.]

[He will get up into a crouching position, once again feeling for the edges, this time with his hands. Once he's certain he's oriented to the east, he'll move four squares.]
