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....]
bestbrotherever: (feral grin)

[personal profile] bestbrotherever 2020-04-15 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
So. Two east, then wait for... the signal?
malignstar: https://www.plurk.com/kabukimono (we call them cool)

[personal profile] malignstar 2020-04-15 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Nah, three east. The fourth is the pedestal.
bestbrotherever: (smirk)

[personal profile] bestbrotherever 2020-04-15 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, I see. Tell me if I am in the wrong position so I may correct myself before you push any buttons.
bestbrotherever: (ouch)

[personal profile] bestbrotherever 2020-04-15 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't even get one square before stopping and screaming, though it soon turns to curses.]
malignstar: https://www.plurk.com/sakurapetal (standing outside the fire)

[personal profile] malignstar 2020-04-15 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Wait, what happened? Those squares are yellow!
bestbrotherever: (ready for battle)

[personal profile] bestbrotherever 2020-04-15 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Yellow... like the portal... which also hurt?

What color... were the other squares?
malignstar: http://atelier-aria.tumblr.com/ (have no options left again)

[personal profile] malignstar 2020-04-15 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
The ones you've been using this whole time are yellow. I don't understand...
bestbrotherever: (bored)

[personal profile] bestbrotherever 2020-04-15 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
[A long sigh.] Neither... do I...

[He closes his eyes.] You are certain... the only path is to the east?
malignstar: https://www.plurk.com/sakurapetal (so hellbent on living walking a wire)

[personal profile] malignstar 2020-04-15 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah... I can try to push my pedestal button again. Maybe that will help.

I didn't mean to get you shocked again. Was it worse than before?
bestbrotherever: (ouch)

[personal profile] bestbrotherever 2020-04-15 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
[He shakes his head.]

It was more like the transfer between rooms.

Which pedestal button will you press? The previous, or the one I will approach?
malignstar: https://www.plurk.com/sakurapetal (is it better just to burn than fade away)

[personal profile] malignstar 2020-04-15 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
The one you're aiming for. Maybe it can do something about the squares next to it. It's all I can come up with.
bestbrotherever: (sharp dressed)

[personal profile] bestbrotherever 2020-04-15 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
It seems the most likely.

[He stands up and sizes up the distance between edges in his current square to compare them to his stride.]

Press it, and I will endeavor to travel four east as quickly as possible.
malignstar: (are you still there)

[personal profile] malignstar 2020-04-15 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ Teeth probably sound like they're chattering ]

W-Well, I'm f-freezing. Maybe g-give it another g-go now.
bestbrotherever: (frown)

[personal profile] bestbrotherever 2020-04-15 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
I am at the pedestal square. [He hurried so Felix wouldn't be writhing in pain for too long. Though it turned out to be a different punishment.]

I feel no temperature change here. It is cold, but not overly so. You are still cold?
malignstar: (just a drop of rain)

[personal profile] malignstar 2020-04-15 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
K-Kinda. At least it worked. And b-better than s-shocking.
bestbrotherever: (sneer)

[personal profile] bestbrotherever 2020-04-15 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
Indeed.

How far is the next pedestal? I would recommend throwing the switch in advance, but how soon? One straight away, two?
malignstar: (are you still there)

[personal profile] malignstar 2020-04-15 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
It's a g-good ways away. Y-You're going to have to g-go far east and then n-north and then e-east again and t-then up again. About 10 s-squares.
bestbrotherever: (*sigh*)

[personal profile] bestbrotherever 2020-04-15 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
[He considers for a second, then nods decisively.]

Give me the directions for the first east and north segments.
malignstar: http://atelier-aria.tumblr.com/ (this is how it ends)

[personal profile] malignstar 2020-04-15 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
Five spaces east and one north.
bestbrotherever: (ouch)

[personal profile] bestbrotherever 2020-04-15 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
[This time he'll hear more like a grunt of pain than screams. And words from Loki much sooner.]

Four squares east. Fifth hurt.
malignstar: (voice I never heard)

[personal profile] malignstar 2020-04-15 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
W-What happened this t-time?
Edited 2020-04-15 03:49 (UTC)
bestbrotherever: (frown)

[personal profile] bestbrotherever 2020-04-15 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
Shock again. Not as strong. But strong enough.

How far away is the next pedestal?
malignstar: (darkness falls)

[personal profile] malignstar 2020-04-15 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
S-Still five away f-from that f-fifth square.
bestbrotherever: (sneer)

[personal profile] bestbrotherever 2020-04-15 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
Damn.

What are the directions? One more east, one north, then what?
malignstar: (and for that forsake it all)

[personal profile] malignstar 2020-04-15 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
Another e-east and... t-three north.

I c-can push the b-button again?
