Jasper:

Kludd busted down the wall and to my surprise, not only was he intact, but it actually worked! I stood up from the book shelf and watched as Alex volunteered to walk in first. I fidgeted and looked into the hall. It was dark, and even with my night vision I couldn't see the end of it. I stayed behind everyone and waited for the others to go into the hall before me.

Londyn:

I carefully stepped in after Kludd had broken down the wall. I could've done it...oh, stop it, don't make this about you! My mind argued back and forth and I continued walking through. A dead end appeared.

"Hey guys, anyone have hairspray or something that'll light? Then I can make a bomb and bust us outta here." I turned around. Nobody looked very eager, and I doubted anyone would carry hairspray around, so I cracked my knuckles and punched the wall. Very hard. It burst open easily and I peered through it. "Seems endless. Maybe there's a different way?"

((I dont think the person who plays Ilyssa migrated over here yet, but in case she does still i'll leave that interaction in. This is what i tried to send 3 times on the SAMB + a little more since we've moved on))

Kludd-

Two of the other people quickly came over once the wall had been properly destoryed, and one, Ilyssa, started looking me over- probably to see if i'd hurt myself in busting down the wall. Honestly, I'm not even sure how I managed to walk away without anything but a slight ache in my arms and shoulder from ramming into the thing, but I did.
She was quick to mention being a werewolf, which its not like I'm hiding that very well anyway, but-
"Dang, its that easy to tell?" I shrugged, grinning slightly, before a shout rang out from the void. Ilyssa asked if we we're coming, and I waved her off, "Just a sec, go ahead, i'll catch up."

I didn't know quite what I expected the void to feel like, but it was nothingness. I nearly stumbled from the lack of solid ground under my feet, but managed not too. It was somewhat anxiety inducing, but I did my best to ignore it, crouching down close to where the yelling was coming from. There was no visible trapdoor or anything, but we'd already been through this once. I shoved both my arms down into the darkness, managing to grab hold of the person down there pretty easily before fishing them out of the darkness. I held onto him for a moment as I walked out of the void and back onto solid ground again, where I set him down gently.

"Don't do that again."
I warned in my classic 'upset dad voice', before moving on and walking back to the lovely section of wall i'd cleared and walking through it, having to duck a bit to really get through. It was dark, and that was making me pretty uneasy, so I just hoped it didn't show on my face (and even if it did, it was dark, so its not like anybody could see anyway). The hall was long, but didn't seem to be going much of anywhere. I kept my hands on each side of the wall, feeling for a door or a light switch or anything really. Oddly enough, nothing yet.
I couldn't help but to think "Who the hell build this place?"

Fillan:

I woke up. Or I thought I did. When I opened my eyes there was just pure blackness all around. At first I thought I was still asleep until I felt a slight draft of cold air pass me. Where am I? I flipped over and crawled forward a few inches on my hands and knees before slowly standing up. There was nothing, absolutely nothing, as far out as I could see. I could feel my fear bubbling up within me. My head hurt slightly and this blank canvas of a surrounding was starting to mess with my sense of balance. Hesistantly, I took a few steps forward.

I continued walking down...wherever I was going. I had no clue how long I'd even been walking for. Why am I even walking? I feel like I'm getting nowhere. I thought to myself, frustrated. This doesn't make any sense at all...what if I'm stuck here, forever? I shook the thought away, Now's not the time to be thinking like that. Still, the idea of being stuck in pitch darkness lingered in the back of my mind. It was terrifying.

What would Kludd do? He's always seems to know just what to do... Just then, there was a noise and a tremor raced through the ground. My heart beat loudly within my chest. Oh no! How am I supposed to defend myself!? I can't even see... Not knowing what else to do, I ducked down and covered my head with my hands. I doubted it would do very much, but since when have I been able to do much of anything? This would be an awful way to die. A thought whispered in my head.

There was a crash, and despite trying to commit myself to ducking, I leapt back in fear. Up ahead, light flooded in through a hole. I could hear voices. People! They might be able to help me! I quickly paced up towards the light, but refrained slightly because I was still in utter darkness. Then I heard the words,
"Don't do that again."
My eyes grew as big as saucers,
"Kludd!? Kludd is that you!?" I tried raising my voice, but I felt like I was straining it already. I forgot caution in that moment and raced over to the light.

Kludd-

"Kludd!? Kludd is that you!?"
A voice rang out from the darkness, probably at a normal volume for most people, but my ears were trained better than that. That was yelling if i've ever heard one
"Fillan!" I called out, rushing further forward into the dark, carefully reaching out a hand until it found a familiar form. You know when you come home and your dog looks so happy, like tail wagging and that cute dog smile? Thats about how I was feeling right then. With no hesitation at all I scooped him up in my arms, pulling him into a tight hug. Absolutely overjoyed to see Fillan again, I could feel a small surge of pain as my ears shifted up to the top of my head, and the usual wolf like tail grew from the bottom of my spine and instantly started wagging hard. Admittedly, sometimes im more dog than person, and honestly, thats fine.

"Fillan, oh my god, I can't believe you're in here too." I mumbled, resisting the strong urge to squeeze him even tighter. It wouldn't exactly be the best to crush your best friends ribs the moment you see him. But just him being there was an incredible relief, because who knows what he would have been doing otherwise. He wouldn't have known where I was, it would have just looked like I ran off without any explanation. And without me around, there'd be nobody to look after him and make sure he was taking care of himself. I didn't have to worry about it anymore though, so I just cleared the thoughts from my mind.

Ilyssa:
Kludd ended up going to save the kid who fell in the void, which I thought was a bit bothersome, but as long as the kid didn’t slow us more I’d leave him be. I moved forward into the area behind the wall. There was little to no light shining through from the outer room, so I had to rely on sound and feel to not die.
A shout came from the darkness, causing me to jump. Turning, I saw a scrawny boy hug Kludd, who grew both ears and a wagging tail. I let them have their tearful reunion before shouting to get their attention.
“You guys can canoodle all you want later, but I suggest we first find a safe spot. We’ve already had one person fall into an invisible trapdoor here before, who knows what else could be lurking.” I usually wouldn’t care, but right now, a guy with enhanced scent could be useful. Facing the others, I motioned to the darkness.
“Does anyone have any source of light?” Robo boy, I’m looking at you.

"Does anyone have any source of light?" Ilyssa looks directly at me when she says this.
Wow, rude. I'm hurt that people expect me to act as some sort of multitool. But admittedly I can be, so I must begrudgingly admit that's fair.
I sigh, "I see that look, and I suppose yes I do have a form of lighting, though it's not particularly helpful or efficient. So maybe we should look around for other sources of light. It's the 2000's this place probably has electricity, so if we could get that on we'd be golden. If you want I can use my method of lighting in the meantime. Most of our trouble came from people going out into the void, so I think it's in our best interest to avoid out there. Which would not be good if whatever we need to power this place is out there, so it should be a last resort. Though a place like this might have a basement or cellar which is also the next likely location to house the power generator."
I really hope someone else has something we can use as light source otherwise this is going to suck.

"Does anyone have fire? Or a source of energy or something? Just something that can spark? Because I found a Febreze here and I think I can blow us outta here. Anyone? No?" I asked around. Darnit, now I can't make a bomb. I thought.

"You don't have to light up, Isaac." I said, looking in my coat for the lighter I keep on me, for crafts and fires. I could see in the dark, it was everyone else having a problem. I took it out, it was one of those windproof lighters. I opened the lighter; it wasn't much light, but hey, it was something.

"Ooh, can I borrow that?" I said to Jasper, but taking it before he could respond. There was a piece of rope in my pocket from when we had been tying knots in Girl Scouts, so I stuck that in the Febreze and then lit the rope on fire. "TAKE COVER!" I yelled, throwing it to the wall as everyone hurried backwards. It blew up easily, blasting a hole in the wall. I looked in again. Finally, a room. A ROOM!

"Guys, I found another room!"

I was a little irked when Londyn just took my lighter, but I didn't say anything. "Can I have my lighter back?" I messed with the little spaces where I could feel metal and wires under my fingers out of habit.

Fillan:

I heard a shout and a tall form- who I assumed was Kludd, come plunging into the darkness. I could feel his hand reach my shoulder and instantly I was pulled into a tight hug. I moved my head up to get some air,
"It's um, nice to see you too. Do you know where we um, are?"
I thought I saw movement from the other side of the hole. Just as I was about to ask if anyone else was here I heard a voice,
“You guys can canoodle all you want later, but I suggest we first find a safe spot. We’ve already had one person fall into an invisible trapdoor here before, who knows what else could be lurking.”
I let go of Kludd and looked to see the girl who said that. I quietly nodded, feeling a little embarrassed she had to call us out like that, but she was also right. It's probably not safe to be standing here.

I walked forward to the other side of the hole and outside the void. As I glanced around, I noticed that there was a girl talking about lighting something up with febreeze. Actually, it sounded like everyone was talking about getting a light source. I was going to suggest that I could probably get the lights on when a person who's gender I couldn't immediately identify with a robotic arm pulled out a lighter. I think they were going to use the lighter as a light source when the girl suddenly snatched it from them and lit a peice of rope before throwing it at the wall, causing it to explode.

Honestly, I was a little shaken from that,
"Maybe we should um, be a little more careful next time...? I don't um, really know but I feel like if we um, start exploding too many walls the house might um, fall down...or um, something. I don't really know. As for um, light, if there are any in this um, house, I might be able to get them to come on." I mumbled.

The new person said he may be able to get the lights on. Sounded like he was just as nervous as I was about going all demolition on this place. "Well anything's better than busting down every wall we see, go for it." I replied, taking my lighter back from Londyn and using it as the light source I intended it to be.

Kludd-

"I dunno, someplace that sucks, that's for sure." I shrugged, It would certainly be nice to know where we were, or even better, how to get the hell out.
Ilyssa came up and told us it'd be better to find a safe spot, which, I guess she's right about. Reluctantly I set Fillan back down on the ground and turned back to the group. Ilyssa seemed alright, so even if she didn't seem to quite understand the importance of me and Fillan finding each other, I wasn't going to bite her head off about it.

Of course even now that we'd found a hallway things couldn't be simple, because it was basically pitch black aside from the light coming from the room. Dark rooms and halls really aren't my thing, like, really aren't, so I was also all for finding a solution. Issac was able to provide light apparently, but gave plenty of reasons why he shouldn't so I wasn't about to press that unless there really wasn't another option. Londyn seemed to want to just blow the place up, which was idiotic beyond my rational comprehension, but she didn't have any source of flame until-
Oh. Jasper has a lighter.
And now she's taken it.
And now.. there's a giant hole blown up in the wall.
Christ.

Nobody seemed very upset about it (aside from Fillan but he's not really very firm) so I guess i'll have to handle this.
"What the HELL was that. Are you trying to get us all killed?!" I growled, giving my best death glare, "Oh yes lets just light things on fire and blow things up when we DONT KNOW THE WAY OUT OF THIS PLACE. What an excellent idea! God, i've never seen anything so stupid, can you think about things before you do them please? New ground rule everyone, no more fire unless we absolutely need it, because I for one am not trying to die in a horrible fire anytime soon."
I sigh loudly after finishing speaking, dropping my head into my hand.

"Fillan if you could kindly ask the lights to turn on i'd appreciate it."

Isaac:
What. The. Fuck. Can I quit existence, now? One moment everything is all peaceful next stuff is getting blown up and everybody is yelling.
I grab my beanie of my head and put it to my face, "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa," just muffled yelling. Nothing to see here folks.
I overhear Kludd, ask this Fillan person to see if he could ask the lights to turn on. And I hope that the electricity is on because I have no clue where the generator would be stored for this place. And I rather we don't keep smashing walls and blowing stuff up just to find it.
Eventually, I stop yelling and put my beanie back on, "Also another rule, before we make any big decisions we should hold a vote. Ie, going back outside, breaking a wall; things like that we should vote on. Because I don't know about anyone else, but I know that I don't exactly have medical supplies here. So it would be in our best interest to avoid getting injured when possible. Sound good?"

I backed up a few steps and cleared my throat... Kludd scared me a little when he got angry. I closed the lighter, put it in my coat, and looked at the floor. "Yep. No more lighters... Got it." I whispered, putting my hands in my pockets.

I turned to Jasper, who'd backed up a bit and tucked their lighter away, and patted them on the shoulder gently. "Its alright, but yeah, just keep it put away for now."
I didn't want them to think I was upset with them, because I really wasn't. They weren't the one blowing up walls, after all, just an unwilling accomplice.

I threw my hands up as Kludd started yelling at me. "Well, I'm f**king sorry for trying to get us out of here! None of us know the way out and right now, doing nothing is just plain stupid! We have to keep moving." I screamed, and then breathed in a little. "What do you think will happen when they find out we're missing? They kidnapped us for a reason. Why would they just want us to escape? So yeah, I'm sorry that I just blew up a wall that lead to a possibly important room with a DIY Febreze bomb that could've killed us all, but I don't really think before I act, and I just want to get home! Don't say you're not racking your brain for every idea you can find, I know all of us are, but some of us just think first!!!" I snapped angrily. "And I'm getting really annoyed right now, we should all be at home safe and sound, so we have to think together now. I'm sorry for what I did. Now who wants to go in?!" I yelled a bit more until I felt better.

"Seriously, I'm sorry." I whispered. "I can't control my thoughts sometimes."

Fillan:

I was going to leave it at that, but Kludd made it clear. Maybe a little too clear based on everyone else's reactions.
"Um, yeah, sure."
I tried to concentrate and collect myself enough to ask my question. If I was too distracted or emotional, the machines wouldn't be able to "hear" me.
"Um, lights, could you please turn on? I know you're probably um, upset because we've been destroying the house and um, threatening your existence, but we're only trying to get out. I promise we um, won't be destroying anything else."
I waited a moment. For a second I thought the lights were too upset by the recent destruction going on to answer when there was a slight buzzing noise. The lights began to flicker before turning on,
"Thank you, we'll be leaving um, soon ."

I could hear someone screaming into their beanie. Actually, I was starting to feel frustrated and upset. These aren't my feelings, what's going on? I turned to look at the person, who had now composed themselves enough to speak. They were talking about new rules. I simply nodded but my mind was elsewhere. I was curious about this being. I don't think they're...human? Only one way to find out.

"Hello? Can you hear me?" I sent to them telepathically. If they were what I suspected, they should be able to hear me and respond as long as I keep communication open. I hadn't tried this in some time though, as using telepathy to communicate with technology often gave me headaches. I supposed it was because organic and inorganic minds were so different. I could hear the girl who exploded the wall start yelling, but it was difficult to follow her as my mental energy was centered elsewhere.
