[--She was so distracted by the hand that she didn't even notice that until now. Oh no, which way is out? It's too hard to tell with the sliding walls and curtains.]
[ And he totally doesn't cling to hers as he spins around to the source of the scream. That was just a joke, right? No-one else is actually there and screaming... ]
[And there totally wasn't a smaller scream from Rita as she spins with him.
Of course, there's nothing there, but as if the darkness didn't make it hard enough to see, the fog is getting thicker.] Th-that was just another trick--it had to be from a...a speaker, or something!
Yeah... That's what I thought the point of this place was. It just startled me.
[ He's not scared at all!! Just a little shaken up... Through the smoke, a pair of red lights appear looking out at them, and the track they're on stops, like it was just delivering them to this point. ]
I really doubt it... [ There's a low rumbling, but Tyr doesn't move. And he looks over to Rita to avoid looking at the lights (though they shine through the smoke in waves and reflect on her skin). ] We probably need to move forward on our own now.
[Not at all...Even if Rita's mouth presses in a thin line. She does get a bit incensed when Tyr says that, though, and looks up at him to vent.] So--what, that was just so we couldn't leave?!
[ He actually ends up looking a little annoyed when he looks back at her. Always better to look annoyed than afraid. ] Not through the entrance at any rate. We'll probably be brought back to this point if we try to go back.
[ And the rumble is now more obviously a low growl. A deep one with no obvious source. ]
[ He wraps an arm around her to keep her steady, and for a few seconds, he can, but it really is moving too much. Can they just jump off? Are they supposed to? He has no idea.
[Since she can't regain her balance in time either, they end up in a bit of a heap--but Rita doesn't even wait before she's trying to scramble off and tug him back up.]
[ It's hard to regain balance when it's still tossing around, but thankfully it's only a small part of the floor that moved in the first place. Shifting around awkwardly, he tries to push himself to his feet while holding her hand still. ]
[/totally not a lie. She jumps with him, and they end up on what seems to be a solid floor, though it's hard to tell with all the fog--which has been given an eerie frost-blue cast. Probably from dye or lights nearby...]
[She glares at the lights--just a trick, she's not going to be afraid of something that stupid--and looks back up at Tyr as she relaxes her grip on his hand. Not a lot, just going from "painful tight" to firm.]
Right. Something like that better not happen again.
[And she has no desire to let go right now. It's not just that holding hands is a bit of a comfort (not that she needs it), but there's no risk of them separated, right?]
...Ugh, which way? I can't see a thing!
[In spite of that, staying where they are is worse, so she starts tugging Tyr in a completely random direction that she thinks is the right way.]

I-I know it's all just fake...
action; ♥!
Yeah, so... It's pretty boring. [ Right? Not that Tyr is sounding worried now. Not at all. ]
action; ♥!
--And then there's an abrupt scream from behind them.]
action; ♥!
Is anyone there?
action; ♥!
Of course, there's nothing there, but as if the darkness didn't make it hard enough to see, the fog is getting thicker.] Th-that was just another trick--it had to be from a...a speaker, or something!
action; ♥!
[ He doesn't know if he wants to go back to the entrance or hope there's a way out further along. It hasn't been too bad so far, shocks aside. ]
action; ♥!
[It's all just stupid tricks, right? It's not like any of it can be real, so they won't be afraid of it...]
action; ♥!
[ He's not scared at all!! Just a little shaken up... Through the smoke, a pair of red lights appear looking out at them, and the track they're on stops, like it was just delivering them to this point. ]
action; ♥!
[Red lights aren't scary at all!! Even if they look almost like eyes...they're still nothing more than that! But they've stopped...]
W-why is it stopping here? This isn't the exit, is it?
action; ♥!
I really doubt it... [ There's a low rumbling, but Tyr doesn't move. And he looks over to Rita to avoid looking at the lights (though they shine through the smoke in waves and reflect on her skin). ] We probably need to move forward on our own now.

They can vent and totally not worry about that noise--it's just a noise-!] D-do they seriously think we're gonna get scared just by that?
action; ♥!
They're idiots if they think we are. I've had worse th—
[ Without any warning, the ground below them shakes, as if trying to toss them off. Apparently it does more than just go side to side. ]
action; ♥! And heading off to sleep now. Good night~! :3
[She wasn't expecting that--Tyr better have good footing because she'll be grabbing onto him as the nearest thing to catch her balance.]
action; ♥! Good night! ♥
Soon enough, he ends up toppling to his knees. ]
action; ♥!Thanks~ And good morning! :3
Let's get off of this thing, already! Come on!
action; ♥!
I'm trying to! It's just...
action; ♥!
[She's going to tug him whether he's on his feet or not-!]
action; ♥!
I am! Relax!
action; ♥!
[/totally not a lie. She jumps with him, and they end up on what seems to be a solid floor, though it's hard to tell with all the fog--which has been given an eerie frost-blue cast. Probably from dye or lights nearby...]
action; ♥!
He won't push on if she's relaxed or not. He just straightens out and brushes himself off. ]
Right... Let's just walk carefully now.
action; ♥!
Right. Something like that better not happen again.
action; ♥!
It's probably just one of several traps... We just need to be careful while we get out.
[ When everything is darkness and smoke, though, which way is out? ]
action; ♥!
...Ugh, which way? I can't see a thing!
[In spite of that, staying where they are is worse, so she starts tugging Tyr in a completely random direction that she thinks is the right way.]
