heart and soul

[soldieronwards]

The ground falls out beneath you. You're in midair, you're surrounded by swirling clouds, and there's nowhere stable to put your feet. The space between your body and the turbulence around you feels poorly defined as well; where do you end and your surroundings begin? Is there a stable you in the first place?

But eventually--

It all seems to be safe. Nothing leaps out at you. Actually, nothing happens at all.

In one corner, though, the floor sags a bit beneath you.

That had better be Robin or Mead. I'm guessing Robin.

Come towards my voice, I found a bit where the floor feels different.

Huh.

The floor crinkles and crackles beneath you; it feels papery to the touch.

In most of the room, there seems to be something solid beneath it, but here in this corner, it doesn't seem like that's so...

I'm going down.

Re: IN THE DARKNESS

The floor rips away beneath your grasp like it's paper--perhaps because it is. Dim red light starts to filter into the room from below. There's a wire mesh supporting the paper floor, but in this corner it opens up into a person-sized hole. Within that hole, a ladder leads down.

Down you go.
