Partners In Peril: Felix and Loki

[hot_mess_express]

[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....]

[He frowns.]

How far is it to the exit? If it is not far, as long as the pain is not debilitating, I will likely be able to struggle through.

[malignstar]

Including the two pedestals, 14 spaces.

[bestbrotherever]

[He pauses.]

Very well. Do it, and let us hope it does not prevent me from moving.

[malignstar]

All right.

[ Though there is some surprise in his tone this time ]

[bestbrotherever]

Did you press it? Which is the next step?

[malignstar]

... I did. It disappeared for me.

The pedestal is a step to the left.

[bestbrotherever]

[Loki's teeth are chattering now.]

C-cold. Ice.

Which way after the-the pedestal?

[malignstar]

... I see you found the cold effect. We need to finish this quickly, while we are both still conscious.

One step left from the pedestal and one step up.

[bestbrotherever]

Y-yes. The cold- it is not going away. I- I am freezing. [Is there a hint of panic in his voice?]

Where next?

[malignstar]

Still?

[ Is that concern? ]

Two left and two up.

[bestbrotherever]

I-I have made it. Please hurry. The c-c-old, it is following me.

[malignstar]

[ Wincing a lot ]

... three right, one down.

[bestbrotherever]

Y-you pressed the button already? Th-thank you.

[bestbrotherever]

N-no new t-trouble. N-next?

[malignstar]

[ Mrrrrrgh. Don't give him more feelings... ]

You're beside the pedestal now. You should be able to take the next three steps right.

[bestbrotherever]

I-I can see! G-going up s-stairs.

[malignstar]

Good. You should the exit.

[ Maybe sounds relieved. Maybe. ]

[bestbrotherever]

[Loki will appear shortly, looking very frostbitten. He heads straight to the door, and while he doesn't say anything, he does give Fatalis a brief grateful look before flinging it open as hard as he can and stepping through.]

[malignstar]

[ He also wastes no time to sprint through the door, still holding one arm and trying to huddle as much as he can for warmth. ]
