The island is covered by a familiar mist that rolls across the ground. Fortunately for you, it's not going to bring nightmares to life this time, but it definitely lends to the general feeling of unease that fills the place. That isn't helped by the fact that though the population here was never very large, it certainly must be even smaller now.

It's the dead, lifeless husks along the beach that make that much obvious.

There's no sign of battle, and all the bodies appear unmarked. It's as though they suddenly dropped right where they were standing, as if something completely and abruptly drained them of energy.

Watch your step as you make your way inland. Wouldn't it be a shame if the same thing happened to you?

We'll be fine.

[Seriously, fuck pitfalls, Sanji could just jump 'em. BUT he'll follow Lorelai's lead, of course. She's so sexy when she takes charge like this~~!!!

He falls in line with the rest of them, hands tucked into his pockets and ready to kick anything in the face -- especially any spiders -- that comes at him.]

[yourotherleft]

[falls in last in line, tagging after the cook. He shouldn't get lost this way, right? One can only hope.]

So what're we looking for? Anybody got any idea about this Meep guy?

[chasing_waterfalls]

[Lyrik shakes his head. He tries to keep mindful of the places Lorelai suggests they avoid stepping on, just in case there might be any traps he might have missed with his water surveying.]

I don't think I heard any specifics aside from that he was here...

[serving_love]

Nah, the whole thing was really damn vague. Guess we just keep moving forward and hope we find a door that leads to him or something.

[Dodging fire, spikes, arrows, and shitty spiders along the way, of course.

Eventually the path they took leads to an open room with really high walls, though. A room where the gravity suddenly decides to work in reverse and sends them flying up toward the ceiling -- floor?? -- at alarming speed.

It's pretty similar to this room, actually.

...Okay, so it is that room. At least the Hazmats already opened the door for them?

But first, that gravity thing. Sanji's whole stomach lurches as he tries to flip around and right himself, and this time he does manage to reach an arm out and loop it around Lorelai's waist, his other hand grabbing the back of Lyrik's shirt so that they don't crash into the ground.]

Jesus, what the shit?!

[TIME FOR SKY WALK AGAIN. ...Though he might Sky Walk them into one of the walls accidentally. Look, it's hard to do that while you're upside down and in the middle of flipping around and everything else, okay??]

[judgementscythe]

[She reacts in shock when she's grabbed by the cook and sent spinning around with him]

YOU RUNE BLASTED IDIOT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!

[serving_love]

[HE ONLY SKY WALKS THEM INTO A WALL A LITTLE BIT AND HE'LL MAKE SURE IT'S HIS OWN SHOULDER THAT TAKES THE BRUNT OF THE IMPACT OKAY GOSH.

The important thing is he is being a KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR and getting them to the floor -- ceiling -- whatever -- safely! ...Mostly! He slows their decent, anyway.

This was a totally necessary heroic move.]

[WHAT IS HAPPENING WHY ARE THEY GOING THROUGH THE....CEILING?!]

Gah!

[Lyrik jerks about, but finds himself anchored by Sanji's grasp at least. Unfortunately it isn't the most smooth of transitions. Ugh, he's not even sure which way is the right way anymore.]

[serving_love]

[Sanji isn't either, he's got a bit of vertigo from the sudden gravity shift, but he finally gets himself sorted and gradually lets them drop towards the ground (ceiling -- seriously, it's confusing). Once his feet are firmly in place, he lets go of Lyrik and...well, okay, he doesn't let go of Lorelai right away, but he does turn to apologize profusely to her!]

Sorry, sorry! My apologies, Lorelai-chan, you're not hurt, right?? I just didn't want you to fall!

[Then he (belatedly) looks around to figure out what happened to Zoro.]

Ah...marimo, you good?
