[ The ground rumbles and shakes - and then opens up. The earth swallows you whole, leaving you in front of . . . blobs . . . Oh they're a little cute, aren't they?

But the world is a bit dark, isn't it? It's a little scary . . . isn't it? ]

[ he couldn't even see in the first place

but now he can't hear, and everything is completely dark, and the only thing he can feel is hands and tearing and hands and tearing and hands and ]

KHA-- [ he starts to scream. but the blob rushes into his mouth and ]

MONSTER REACTION

[hot_mess_express]

[ It grows more powerful, absorbing more and more of your blood and flesh and everything you have.

It's not . . . quite allergic to Randy's laughing, though it does become just weak enough that Itsuki doesn't have much problem grabbing everyone. Still, this is enough - it's already absorbed so much from you all. ]

MONSTER ACTION

[hot_mess_express]

[ It settles for the most part, trying to leech in through the parts of Itsuki's aura that he's not keeping up. Watch out for that - and watch out for the smell of smoke, remember, that's a thing that's starting to flood the area. There's already not enough air for any of you in here. ]

[I will cast my AOE heal spell on all of us while naked and bleeding and crying from half dissolved flesh.]

What weakened it before?

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[dragonblooming]

[ sorry about how i am painful and poisonous to be in close proximity to when i am using power ] Laughter. Laughter weakened it before.

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[crimeson]

Laughing?! Seriously?

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[malignstar]

L-Laughter... ? This is some... Harry Potter shit...

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[bowtiedbones]

Right. The fake Se— the werewolf one was losing its teeth when it was laughed at.

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[saddleclub]

Truly?

Whatever, if you can laugh, laugh at it. I'll continue healing for as long as my energy holds.

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[malignstar]

[ I WILL TRY TO REMEMBER HOW TO FEEL AGAIN HOLY FUCK WHAT JUST HAPPENED

Also my poor obliterated wings. ]

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[hissoff]

[ i can hear again but at what cost. it's cold... if he was more in his right mind he'd be more self conscious about not wearing anything, but right now all he feels like doing is clawing the skin and scales from his body so he'll just set about trying to do that ]

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[bowtiedbones]

[pats at his hands, not quite grabbing them, but stop that quit it]

Stop, stop— you'll make it worse.

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[hissoff]

[ startles-- ]

... Eliza?

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[saddleclub]

[ACCEPT MY HEALS.]

Ceylon.

[voreaciously]

[i am actually mostly okay with the pain and suffering? but being naked NO. Black fluids begins to seep where she is damaged, healing hover her injuries very foully.] Unbelievable.

[bowtiedbones]

[well at least i'm not the only naked girl]

If we die like this, I'm going to be sooooo pissed.

MONSTER REACTION & END

[hot_mess_express]

[ You laugh. Whether sincere or not, you do your best to laugh and laugh, and the blobs start to fade and whither - they start to disappear, waning, just a little bit - and then a little more, before a single exit path is left for you.

You can run - most of you can, anyway. Naan and Jusis, though - they're the holes in your laughter barricade, the chinks in your armor.

The blobs start to recede, looking to flee down further into the tunnels - down and away from the path that's opened up to you. In the process of fleeing, however, Jusis and Naan are taken - it's a lightning quick strike to grab their bodies and re-submerge them into the giant blob as it rushes to flee the scene, before it can melt any further.

You've won, but at a cost. ]
