Berry's Heart

[dramatispersonae]

[For once, you're not falling.

. . . No, this time you just feel like you're sinking, down down down into turbulent water. Just before you feel like you're about to run out of air, the whole world turns white, and—]

[He can do that, but another one brushes against him from behind.]

[And when they do, icy terror and helplessness lances through you. trapped, caught, can't get out—]

[tenses up immediately]

[no no no]

Re: [THROUGH THE TRAPDOOR]

[the chain slowly begins to wrap around him, squeezing tight]

[the fear deepens]

[UM!!

Pulls hard on Selenia's arm, trying to get him away from the chain]

Re: [THROUGH THE TRAPDOOR]

[dramatispersonae]

[It wrapped around him tightly enough to bruise, but as long as Selenia tries to pull away as well, he should be able to break free.

Re: [THROUGH THE TRAPDOOR]

[glorious]

[Forturnately, Bubbles tugging him is enough to snap him out of it and he pulls back as well, a bit shaky once he's free.]

[If I stop singing the light will go out that will be even worse I can't say anything but I can hug you '^']

Re: [THROUGH THE TRAPDOOR]

[glorious]

[hugs from Bubbles shall be accepted and returned]

Re: [THROUGH THE TRAPDOOR]

[tonewlengths]

[Yes good!! Pulling back after a moment, checking him over to see he's alright]

Re: [THROUGH THE TRAPDOOR]

[glorious]

[There are likely some bruises where the chains grabbed him, but nothing more serious than that.]

...I'm all right now.

Re: [THROUGH THE TRAPDOOR]

[tonewlengths]

[Well you know what while I am singing already those bruises are getting taken care of. Nods, gazing down the path again, unsure, then looking back to Selenia]

Re: [THROUGH THE TRAPDOOR]

[glorious]

[relaxing after his bruises are healed and looking down the path]

...I'll sing to keep a shield up. That should keep the chains at bay, and we can proceed.

[begins to sing as well, under his breath so not to disrupt Bubbles' concentration]

[MUSICAL MARCH THROUGH THE DARKNESS]

Re: [THROUGH THE TRAPDOOR]

[glorious]

[mind doesn't necessarily need me to KEEP singing once I have it up, but may be joining in Bubble's song anyway!]

Re: [THROUGH THE TRAPDOOR]

[tonewlengths]

[I hope you are learning valuable lessons from this Berryheart, look at the power of love and friendship and song through danger]

Re: [THROUGH THE TRAPDOOR]

[fishpanties]

[More ropes, more chains, but as long as your spirits don't waver, you can fight your way through one step at a time.

Rapunzel, I hope you don't mind feelings of terror and of being trapped]

Re: [THROUGH THE TRAPDOOR]

[tonewlengths]

[...well about that wavering...

tightens her grip on Selenia's arm :(]

Re: [THROUGH THE TRAPDOOR]

[glorious]

[glancing back down and squeezes her hand]

-- I'm here.

Re: [THROUGH THE TRAPDOOR]

[tonewlengths]

[Leaning against him as they walk. SOLIDARITY. I'm not alone Selenia is here and he won't let me be trapped so I can DO THIS.]

Re: [THROUGH THE TRAPDOOR]

[glorious]

[just holding her close (partly to help her stand and partly to help himself) and continuing to walk forward, confident that they'll be all right]

Re: [THROUGH THE TRAPDOOR]

[dramatispersonae]

[YOU GO GUYS]

[It's not the most pleasant of journeys, but eventually you do reach your destination.

. . . It's a ladder thoroughly embedded with jagged mirror shards, and it only leads one way: down.]

Re: [THROUGH THE TRAPDOOR]

[glorious]

[...um.]

Do we...still want to go down?

Re: [THROUGH THE TRAPDOOR]

[tonewlengths]

[Frowns, gathering up her hair and throwing it down, can I light up the way to see what's down there]

Re: [THROUGH THE TRAPDOOR]

[dramatispersonae]

[You think you can see something colorful . . .]

Re: [THROUGH THE TRAPDOOR]

[tonewlengths]

[Huh. Okay cool, is there anything, some kind of ledge or such, that I can secure my hair on?
