Re: ► CHAMBER TWO

[reimprovise]

[See Fuji, toting around his camera and tripod with all the enthusiasm of a person very dedicated to playing tourist. He's taking pictures of everything, seriously. The walls, the puzzles -- even you, but you probably wouldn't realize it until you see the flash go off from the corner of your eyes.

Ah, but he's now approaching you (yes, you) with... what appears to be an external camera flash unit.

Cheerfully--] Hey, might I borrow your hands for a sec?

[atobe]

[Pulling on limbs, he seems to mostly be able to extract them without more difficulty.] I sincerely hope this is not going to be recurring!

Though you probably should look into it, Oshitari. Have you found them?

[A little fumbling and feeling around. What's that? Bag?? Not bag...]

If I still had my cell phone I would. [He finds the flashlight he'd been holding and switches the switch with a few clicks.] My flashlight's broken.

[sfaccendato]

I'd hope it's not, as well. [success, flashlight found! clicks it on, and a rather bright beam of light cuts through the pitch-black. ow, eyes.] And I'd look a bit silly, wouldn't I? Would ruin the point entirely.

[scans the ground with the light, probably shining it in someone's eyes at least once, before eventually stopping on one spot] Aha, there we go.

[reimprovise]

You mean it wasn't the point? [Ow, bright light in eye. The light's fairly reassuring, though. He sits up, rubbing at his eye, before peering around in the darkness. Ah, a metal clasp catching the light -- his bag. He scuffles over to it, and rummages blindly.

Flashlight. A few clicks and a beam of light shows that it's operational. He pauses for a second, then snags a pokeball, too. A flash of red light, and there's a soft 'misdreaaaaa' that filters through the air.] I'll send Marseille to go take a look around. [A huff.] Go on.

[As the misdreavus obediently goes off scouting in the dark, he rummages in his back again for the first aid.] Is anyone injured? Though, really, the first-aid kit I brought isn't any good for anything other than general scrapes and sprains.

[atobe]

[Wincing, he reaches to bat the light away from his face.] He means he doesn't need them to see. Give me the light. [Climbing carefully to a crouch, he takes Oshitari's flashlight and points it down the dark tunnel.]

I'm fine I think. Yuushi's fine too, aren't you Yuushi? Is anyone bleeding? [Standing, the light bounces around the walls sending shadows flying.] Where are we?

[sfaccendato]

[picks glasses up off the ground; by MEGANE MAGIC they are not broken, excellent.] Whyever would I want to intentionally look silly? [...fine, Atobe, take the flashlight 8|]

[gosh, Keigo, you're so caring!] Other than my dignity, I think I'm just fine. [looks around a bit] Another chamber, maybe?

[reimprovise]

Oh, I don't know. It might've been an unconscious thing. [Ah, first-aid. A bit of a grimace as he sets it down, and chuckle. Mildly--]

They didn't mention Alice in Wonderland in their sight-seeing brochures. We might have to have a word or two with the company. [Pause, as he struggles with something in the darkness, putting his own flashlight down. Weakly--] ... ah, a little light, please?

[If the light is shone anywhere near his ankle, it appears that he's giving it a rather perplexed look. Which actually means that the pain should be kicking in right about now.]

[atobe]

I should say so. But then you get what you pay for, naa?

[Swinging the light around, he focuses it straight to Fuji's ankle with rather uncanny precision. Insight, activate!] That's a nasty sprain, you might have torn the ligament. I don't know why you didn't say so a second ago, is there laxity?

Yuushi, come hold this light.

[sfaccendato]

[was going to make another crack about that Alice in Wonderland thing, but stops after he hears the next part]

...Mmm, all right. [steps over there and takes the flashlight back.]

[reimprovise]

[You and your x-ray vision, Atobe. His face goes a startling blank, and he purses his lips, pensive.] The pain didn't start registering.

[a shrug] I'll get it wrapped, but doing it in the dark seems a little counterproductive. Mind holding the light up, a little?

[atobe]

[Crouching again, Atobe peered in the low light and frowned.] Less counterproductive than having to carry you out of here? I don't think Yuushi wants to do that.

[sfaccendato]

[obligingly shifts light up a bit]

[...sigh Atobe he is not the new Kabaji] No, I really don't. Can always rewrap it once we figure out how to get out of here.

[reimprovise]

Fair enough. There're some things in fairy tales that really shouldn't be reenacted. [He huffs, and starts pulling out a cold compress. Airy chuckle. Awkwardly coaxing the compress onto his ankle while doing some bandaging!]

[atobe]

[Well he's certainly not carrying anybody...] I agree it's more reasonable to do it now and fix it later.

[Having NO idea what Fuji's talking about, he ignores him and confiscates the bandage.] Move, you can't ice it and wrap it yourself at the same time. Stretch out your leg and let me do it, I can see better anyway.

[sfaccendato]

[is just going to leave you to it! meanwhile, walks over and picks up Fuji's flashlight from where he put it out, keeping the light his own flashlight fairly steady. clicks on Fuji's flashlight and shines it on the walls to examine the writing.]

[reimprovise]

[The humiliation practically burns across his face -- or would have, if he has that sort of skin. On Fuji, embarrassment is just another blank face. He'll be uncharacteristically quiet for a while now.

In the meantime, have a Misdreavus popping out of a wall in front of you, Oshitari. Marseille makes burbling noises, and settles in your hair. /o/ She's holding something that appears to be a moonstone in her airy grasp.

Assuming that the bandaging goes on smoothly, Fuji looks up a little, just a little relieved at the distraction.] Ah, Marseille.
