G R E E N > You enter the door and find yourself in a glass box, suspended in the deep, dark ocean. Darkness surrounds you on all sides and once in a while, the box shakes. It'll be clear enough after a while that that's because of the movement of the water. The deep, dark water that they're surrounded by. Once in a while, something moves in the darkness, unnaturally large and much too close for comfort. Then... the noises. The moans and hisses of things living out there, in the deep. Then the words appear:

Comments

[Alice? is also like. Tentatively recovering. "Recovering". He's stirring a little from his catatonic state. He can't...just casually die here with what he knows now, right? He has to...

He has to still find a place to belong.

So slowly... he lifts his head a little, damp hair plastered to his face.]

... The hell are we even s'posed to do here... [UGHHH.]

You guys...alive?

[plasmastorm]

[Sara weakly lifts a hand, her arm flopping over at her side almost immediately afterwards]

Stilllll kicking.

[HOW CAN SHE SOUND SO NONCHALANT, STILL]

Somehow. . .

[cantdecideonausername]

I feel like... there's a rock on top of me... and I'm being crushed alive. [ he breathes in and smiles in pain. ] So about normal!

[ he's a lot better than sara and alice anyway ]

[unnames]

[Only mildly though, really.

Alice just groans and lets his head flop back.]

... Weirdly, I still kinda feel like we're gonna be okay. Kinda freaking hate that though.

Anyway... what now?

[plasmastorm]

[she can't help it. she laughs despite herself at Chidi's comment, though it's. super wry]

Pleeeeeeease don't tell me we have to spin that wheel again.

[cantdecideonausername]

We... might... have to.

[ the crushing is only getting worse and he isn't sure what else can be done. ]

[unnames]

[............... HUFFS A SIGH.]

...Sara, you good to move?

[plasmastorm]

. . . do I look like I'm good to move?

[SHE'S BEING PETULANT]

[but she is trying to sit up]

B-- bring it over here, and I'll give it a whirl.

[cantdecideonausername]

Ok. Just give me... a moment.

[ alice isn't in any condition to do, well, anything, so chidi has to use all his strength to peel himself off the ground. he grabs the wheel off the wall and lets it drop to the ground, along with himself right after, and shoves it toward sara. ]

[plasmastorm]

Ooooh, perfect!!!

[she's sitting up now, her shoulder pressed against the glass. she also gropes for the wheel, totally missing it a few times, before she FINALLY manages to give it a weak spin]

[perhaps it's because the spin sucks, but this is what happens]

[. . . . . . . . . . . .]

Oh, shoot.

[cantdecideonausername]

[ he looks at the spin, eyes bulging, and then ]

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaah... great.

[ and just lets his face gently fall into the small puddle. great. ]

[plasmastorm]

[W E L P]

S-- so! Is there aaaaanything you'd like for me to wish for you, Chidi?

[asking him seems safer]

["safer"]

[PRESUMING HE CAN ACTUALLY DECIDE. but then again, he's been doing well, so!!]

[cantdecideonausername]

Urgh... I'm... being crushed. Make it -- stop.

[ all said while his face is still pressed to the glass floor, puddle of water rising around it. someone has to be useful around him, may as well be him right? ]

[unnames]

[from the distance, uselessly:]

Good choice.

[THANKS ALICE FOR CONTRIBUTING]

[plasmastorm]

[GOOD CHOICE, HE SAYS, WHEN SARA TOLD HIM TO FIX HIS PAPER LIMBS]

Okay! Good as any.

I hereby gift Chidi by taking away whatever force it is that's crushing him!

[there it is. there's the wish]
