Event: Passage in the Abyss

[letsplayamod]

[Well, even down in this squalid prison, you have gained some amount of levity. Just a day prior, an impromptu attempt to channel one of you to the land of the living put you into contact with not only the rest of your friends, but Athena herself.

That all comes to a sudden halt, but you're free to continue with perhaps a renewed strength. For once in a long while, it seems like things are getting interesting.

A day later, that's when the rumbling comes.]

That is it! I cannot wait a moment longer... My strength must return, and so my hunger must be sated.

[It's Typhon, he sounds mad.]

A mess of mortals, trapped in my personal cage. Perfect for feeding on!

[He sounds like he's on his way.]

[The ground, what little there is in the void, rumbles beneath your feet. Typhon is on his way, that much is clear. And there's very little here to run away to...]

Hey! Can any of you hear me!

[Then, a voice, not recognizable. It reaches across the void, much as Typhon's did. Except this voice is directed right at you.]

You need to run, now!

[More quaking, only this feels different, like a strict pattern. Distant rumblings and clankings of metal draw closer, as a new addition to your little island rises up from the depths on a massive podium. Interlocking gears and wheels crank slowly as it connects with the edge of your prison; a small enclosed area, like the one Sayo has commandeered. Only this one opens up to reveal a rift hanging within.

It shimmers a shinny, glossy metallic hue. Like gold.]

In! Through here, quickly!

[rockymountaindie]

[ There's, like, little they can do? Little choice they have? But still, Alex yells back— ]

Who the hell're you?!

[letsplayamod]

I'm trying to save you! Phospho, go. Go! You have to guide them-

[A piercing cry fills the air. Swooping in from above you, and coming to hover just in front of the portal, is a bird coated in fiery flames. It caws at you, imploringly. Then, it flies straight through the rift.

Typhon's voice roars.]

What is that smell...? So familiar-- An intruder! You will be first!

[atu709]

... How familiar it is to be intruding on someone else's story like this.

[ but like. the fuck is she going to do in an empty void, lmao. rift time apparently! ]

[tailoredfate]

[Ah.]

If Typhon is angered at this presence, then that means they might as well be an ally to us.

[She doesn't entirely trust it, but...]

[cannotunravel]

Since the other option is to sit around to be consumed, we don't really have a choice now.

[Misane doesn't hesitate. She runs towards the rift and jumps through!]

[rockymountaindie]

Ahhh, damn it- fine!

[ INTO THE RIFT, YEET ]

[necromants]

[Should he be the last one in the rift...?? Ehhhh whatever, in he goes!! Yeet!!]
