Who: You, perhaps
Where: Tokyo-F
When: Day 98, Late night

[ A noise splits through the night, waking many of those who were sleeping, alarming many of those that were not. If you go to the window or streets to see what made that racket, you will find there is not much to see at all-- darkness has stolen into the city, stolen away all the power from the street lights, dorm lights, even the glow from your smartphone screens. The air is oppressive with expectation. The noise, the lights out, surely this is the sign there is something more coming? That feeling hangs heavy, palpable.

. . .

. . . . . .

. . . . . . . .

And then, you hear it.

A splintering sound, the crack of door hammered in finally giving way. And then, light. A fracture in the air like lightning, vertical and spidering down to the ground that doesn't vanish-- hanging there, light streaming out into the darkness.

....

Approach? ]

[ The crack in the world that dumped you all here is starting, just as it did when it opened, to close. Fraction by fraction, it closes. The light it gives off dims.

That was how you got here. It's questionable if there's other ways back. ]

[backstory]

[ AH--- THAT. Does not look good. ]

I think we need to get back. Sooner rather than later.

[mycaringheart]

[since I'm with you]

Ah... Yes, it does look like it might be time...

[backstory]

Let's go quickly.

[Already descending the stairs...!]

Do you know where Anubis went off to?

[forgottenmercy]

[...oh dear. this is not good.]

[backstory]

Come on--!

[Grabbing his wrist and tugs him in an effort to spur him back down the stairs. They had taken forever to go up and he doesn't think they have a lot of time to get back down.]

We should hurry!

[forgottenmercy]

[his frilly nightgown is not the best to run in, especially when he's carrying his parasol in his other hand - though Levi grabbed the hand he's holding his bag in - but Persephone does his best.]

...do you, ah, know where the others are?

[liarliarliar]

Our field trip is winding down it seems.

[backstory]

We need to hurry. We don't know how long it will stay open.

[liarliarliar]

Mmm. Let's move quickly! And make sure everyone gets out!

[asonoficeandfire]

[um. that. that doesn't look good]

Ah... we should probably get back.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Still with Angel in tow, but good. It looks like Duality is ready to head back]

[asonoficeandfire]

[joining up with them as he heads back down from the battlements]

Did you see? The crack is closing.

[earthquaked]

[ -- UH

STARTS BOOKING IT OFF THE BATTLEMENTS AND BACK DOWN THE STAIRS. ]

-- Coyote! Silver!

[shutthefoxup]

Plover?

[earthquaked]

The-- thing! The thing is closing!

... where's the others?

[irregular]

... shit. Shit.

[Well--

[He's on the battlements, right? No better place to be.]

Hey! Everybody! We need to get out of here now!

[irregular]

[Good enough.

[Right. Along the battlements, down the steps, jump the last two, back toward the gate-- run, run, run.]

[mywife]

[floating to look through the window and turns his head to the Princess]

It seems they want us to leave.

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ Yeeaaahhh she sees that too. ]

It seems that way, yes.

[ and she is hastening toward the window they entered from. ]

Did any of your unitmates venture deeper?

[mapsio]

[ ... ]

Uh oh, looks like we need to head back.

[worldlyafflictions]

[If anyone needs a warning who can't see the gate closing, there's a peppep with super-speed willing to pass the word along.]

--Hey, how many of ya came in, it looks like the gate's closing!

[wonderlandgirl]

Pink!

[If Wednesday ever had doubts about the usefulness of super-speed (and she hasn't, really: it's super speed, how can that not be useful?) they would be well and truly gone now. She's back by the gates in a heartbeat, gazing in concern at the closing gap.]

Pink, Yugi's... had an accident. It's nothing major, but we have to make sure he gets out.

[malignstar]

[ Doing the speed warning to anyone he can reach ]

The gate's closing! Better move quick!

[inspiteful]

[ TIME TO GO. ]
