Umm, okay. A week to finish up this this chapter. LET'S DO IT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY EVERYONE WOOTAGE!
And that's a shame Tae, I would have liked to see more focus on Selan and Lisette. And Kapi XD. But it's a tough gig, and if you can't do it, fair enough.
I call next post!

Second Floor - Mirror Hall
Dylan dismissed his construct, the promising idea turning out to be completely useless. For a brief second it looked like he and Amy where making progress, but then the shifting mirrors and reforming glass ruined that dream. “Nice try!” Dylan’s reflection called, “but you’re not nearly as smart as you think you are.”
The other members of the group continue to smash about - even Syed had tried something electrical, sending sparks running up Dylan’s spine - until the strange black ooze started... and another Lisette appeared. “Oh Aislin!” He backed away from it, not wanting to know what this shadow monster would do, when he say the mirrors changing their reflections.
Instead of reflecting the room around them, an optical illusion of endless mirrors, they saw their friends. Estelle, Don, Trixie, Selan and... “Marcus!” he cried out, stepping forward to see clearer. They were trapped, choking, and running out of time. “No!” he cried, shooting a silent prayer to Aislin above. His friends couldn’t die like this, not now, not right when he discovered they were alive.
Then, as if in answer to his prayers, Marcus’ eyes began to glow. Dylan stared, slackjawed, as the magic radiated from his friend, tearing the entire room apart. The sight was so riveting that he didn’t even notice that Tower itself was starting to tremor, the ceiling above them cracking, and shattering outwards.
Dylan fell to the ground as the stone fell, shattering mirrors and walls as the floor above them crashed through. Gas leaked through, though it diffused enough to not really affect them, but the suits of armor, the weapons, the chunks of the ground itself, all crashed around the Pride.
I call next post!
EDIT: And post is up!
All this stuff has been wonderful. The soundtracks, the whole forth post in the OOC, the arts, the blogs. You all are so creative and awesome! :D
Happy Sunday all.

Group C: Dylan, Amy, Lucien, Xandra, Lute
Dylan let out a sigh of relief. Everyone seemed to be alright - excepting Moira’s hand, but surely Amy could handle that - and now they just had to find the others. And this Doctor Dream fellow. And get out of this nightmare land where everything seemed to exist purely to torture them. It shouldn’t be too hard.
While Lute and Aria reconnected, Dylan spotted another door. He hesitated for only a moment, surely this place had enough originality to not sic another lion on them. With a gentle push the door creaked open, revealing a large hall of mirrors. “Oh, great,” he muttered as he followed Atlas in, the door vanishing behind them. “It looks like there’s no going back.”
"Pssst! Oiiii, you! Yeah you! I bet you idiots will never find the way out. Heh, you'll be stuck here with us, forever and always."
Dylan stared at the reflection, acting completely out of sync with the magician. Oh Aislin, if it wasn’t bad enough that they had been tormented by their worst nightmares now their reflections were joining in! And in front of the others no less.
He reached into his pocket and withdrew his slate and chalk.
“Hey, what are you doing?” He reflection called out, shifting closer and closers as the mirrors and paths moved. “Drawing up a picture of home? Might as well, you’re never going to see it again. Not your school, your friends, your sister.”
Dylan ignored the taunts, instead willing his construct to life. It was a large hammer. “Enough of that!” he cried out as his reflection came right up in his face, and he swung the hammer against the mirror, shattering it.
OMG Tae - I can't tell you how fucking jazzed I am about the TvTropes thing! That site rules my life (and ruined my vocabulary, since I really can't talk about fiction anymore without defaulting to tropes XD). I will totally think up some more to add - though I don't know how to actually edit the site lol.
I'll be posting way later than I normal do on a weekend. The BF is dragging me to see Days of Future Past - SAVE ME AHHHHH!

That is some fantastic art, Kathi! I am super impressed - we have such talented people in this RP that it's inspiring and overwhelming sometimes. :D
AND IT'S THE WEEKEND! WOO HOO! HERE AT LAST!
I hope everyone's doing well!

Groups C and B
Dylan hung back as the others entered the room, Lute apparently doing something to “check” for traps while Lucy seemed more comfortable just opening doors. Even when it revealed a raging lion. “Yeah,” he said as the summoner taunted it, “I don’t think that’s the best idea.” Luckily, Xan stepped forward and slammed the door shut before the cat could claw it’s way through the barrier. “Good idea.”
Unfortunately, that somehow made things worse, as the lion managed to break through not only the mystical barrier but the door itself. “You shouldn’t have taunted it!” Dylan said as they hurried out of the room through yet another doorway...and then fell.
It was the most surreal tumble down, as the fell past strange clocks and rabbits - the colors swirling about in a hazy mist that made Dylan’s stomach heave. Finally, though, he landed hard on his side, groaning as he sprawled onto the cold floor. He wanted nothing more than to rest - this day was just too much for him - and he considered just letting himself lie on the floor no matter what until he heard the voices.
Opening his eyes, he glanced up in surprise. “Lisette! Syed! Moira! KAPI!” he scrambled up, running to his friends. “Oh thank Aislin! Are you okay? Did the dreams come to you too? Have any of you found Marcus?”
Wonderful posts everyone! I'm so jazzed and it really helped my writing!

Dylan glanced up at Lucien, who was reaching down to help him. For a moment he hesitated, but then accepted the hand. “Thanks,” he said softly, slowly getting to this feet and glancing around. The room was far larger than he would have expected from the outside, and the walls were smeared with red. Coupled with the red checkered floor and the eerie neon-glow, Dylan couldn’t help but find his surroundings menacing.
"Is everyone capable of moving forward? We can't head outside...the only option is up." Xan said.
Dylan nodded at the comment, his eyes drawn to the staircase. Did the other’s make it to the Tower? Was there any way to search the ground floor?
"Soooo, we're just gonna keep climbing, yeah?"
“I suppose so,” he said, reaching into his jacket to pull out his slate and chalk. Holding them in his hands, he followed Xan up the stairs to the equal solemn second floor. There was a set of double doors in front of them, and Dylan nudged the door to find it unlocked. The slight weight of his shoulder had sent the door creaking open, revealing a large, circular room. It was mostly empty, though the walls where line with more double door-ways, spaced evenly throughout. Where did they all lead?
He stood in the doorway, too nervous to enter the room. It didn’t look trapped, hell, it was just what looked like a reception room of some sort. But there was still something eerie about this place, even without the mysterious nightmare monsters that roamed the city outside.
“Well, guys, up or through?”
Sorry if I seems like I'm coming off as a bit hardass here, but it's just that for the last few weeks everyone's posting has been down. And it's not you Rex, but an overall malaise that comes with less constant posting. My inspiration has been start and stop for a while now because of it, and if it's just me being a strange bitch just say so. I just thought it should be brought up.
