[ WEEK THREE – ??? (SEI) ]

[sheriffexe]

[ The skeletons drag Sei down for a while, through a thick layer of them -- scratching and tearing and even biting as they go. Any sounds she makes will be muffled and the small amount of light from the pit will eventually fade after a while.

She'll even lose her hat. Shame.

But eventually the skeletons will let up, fading into more of a dirt tunnel than anything else. She'll slide down that for a while until eventually being spit out and landing on a concrete floor.

When she looks up, she'll find herself in what appears to be access tunnels, light bulbs hanging from the ceilings to provide dim light and pipes going along the walls going every which way direction. The room is square and plain and on every side of it has four different tunnels to lead her whichever way she chooses.

She could go forwards, backwards, left, or right. Which way will she go? ]

[feminitis]

Ow...!

[Well, that was... thoroughly unpleasant. The scratches and bites are definitely going to need to be disinfected if she gets out of here- no, when, she corrects herself.

Natalie is nowhere in sight. That's a problem.]

...Miss Goodman?

[...

That would have been too easy.

Grumbling a little under her breath, she gets to her feet and takes stock of her surroundings and her belongings. Her helmet is gone, but her haori full of weapons seems to have survived the trip, and she resecures it to her back by tying the sleeves around her shoulders before she heads straight ahead.

The fastest way somewhere is always supposed to be a straight line, after all.]

[sheriffexe]

[ Fast, you say. That's hilarious.

Especially because Sei will have to walk and keep walking. The tunnel goes lower and lower and grows darker as she goes, lights dimming and shadows forming. Water drips somewhere nearby and soft scuttling can be heard in the dark.

After three hours, she will find herself at another intersection.

Which way now? ]

[feminitis]

[Sei would just like to go on record saying this is creepy as shit.

But she keeps walking, because it's not like just sitting down and waiting for someone to come find her is going to do anything.

When she arrives at the intersection, she paused, glances between the three options that aren't turning around the way she came, and then finally starts walking down the tunnel to the right.]

[sheriffexe]

[ See, Sei, unlike Natalie, remembered the right hand rule for mazes. Good job, Sei. Point in your favor already.

Except god damn, this is a long walk. After a while, the concrete will start to emit a blue glow and fade out and out and out until --

Wait, are you in an aquarium? Really, the floor, ceiling, and walls have all turned translucent now and on every side of it, Sei will see water and fishes of all kinds. Some of them not even quite earth like. Some of them extinct. Like, really.

In fact, that one dinosaur seems to linger, eyes tracking Sei with hunger as it follows her footsteps. Oh boy. ]

[feminitis]

[nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnOPE

NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE

as soon as Sei sees that thing she turns on her heel and heads back the way she came. She likes sushi as much as the next person, but just. Nope.

If this works out and she's allowed to double back, she'll turn right when she reaches the intersection - as if she'd chosen to go straight ahead the first time. Of course, if that's against the rules, she probably won't even make it there, huh.]

[sheriffexe]

[ It's not against the rules, per se.

But.

Well.

The path is kind of closed back up by the team Sei gets there. Whoops.

Best go back now, kiddo. ]

[feminitis]

[Sei curses loudly (probably not loudly enough to be heard by whatever might be above her, but boy howdy is she trying), then turns around again and just.

Books it as fast as she possibly can through that room. She's not stopping for anything, she's not looking at the giant murderfish, she's just running. With her sword drawn, just in case.]

[sheriffexe]

[ Thankfully, the dinomurderfishthing gets distracted after about an hour, but Sei's still stuck in the water tunnel. She can probably see it swim off in order to murder the fuck out of a whale. Yikes.

But! She's left alone for now. Some spooky fish swimming around but nothing following. Real spooky though, like at one point a giant squid seems to just be content in wrapping itself around the tunnel whole and chilling like that.

2spooky, even. ]

[feminitis]

[Well, that's... unpleasant. But it's nature, and Sei would much rather have it murder some random whale than murder her. Being the paragon of maturity that she is, she sticks her tongue at it when it swims away.

...also when the giant squid wraps itself around the tunnel, she pauses, then brandishes her sword at it.]

Don't even think about breaking the glass!

[nOT THAT IT CAN UNDERSTAND HER. She'll be on her merry way after threatening the poor defenseless squid, though.]

[sheriffexe]

[ Off you go, Sei! At least nothing seems to be able to break the glass, even if there are some fish... or monsters, in here, that definitely want to kill her.

It'll be towards the end of the five hour walk that a huge jellyfish attaches itself to the corridor and starts. Zapping. Everything. The electricity bleeds in through the glass in small bursts and it's pretty damn painful!

Might want to run now, Sei. ]

[feminitis]

[Damn.

Actually, no - ]

Damn!

[WHY IS THIS HAPPENING. WHAT DID SHE EVER DO TO OFFEND ALL THESE SEA CREATURES.

Speed is her strong point, so she runs as fast as her feet will carry her - which, unfortunately, is not quite fast enough to avoid being shocked a couple of times. It hurts, but she knows it'll hurt more if she allows herself to fall down and continue getting shocked, so she grits her teeth and keeps running.

It's been more than nine hours and she's getting tired, but she's definitely not tired enough to give up just yet.]
