tale
They were descending in silence. The more they advanced, the more the slope became vertical. For now, however, they could still progress without too much difficulty. So they did. They advanced, slowly dreading the moment when the slope would be too harsh to walk on. They were trying not to think of what just happened.
Except for Feaser, who broke the silence. "What was that, by the way ?"
No one answered. The only sound was the hum of neons. "I mean, this probably isn't the weirdest thing we've seen but, you know, i didn't understand wh-
-'Not the weirdest thing'. Sure !" Esgol was starting to explode. "Not the weirdest thing. Yeah ! I usually see pan-dimensional entities that casually tell me to go to the center of the earth ! Just a normal thing !
-Esgol, please-"
-Please what ! I'm just... I'm tired of all this ! None of this makes sense ! Your non-euclidian space, the station, this hallway, Aria, and now this ? I'm just ! I'm so goddamn tired !"
A blip. They all checked their devices.
>>SBT: cmon esgol don't be so mad. at least you can move around !
>>CHM: HOW CAN YOU HEAR US
>>CHM: DOES NOTHING MAKE SENSE ANYMORE
>>CHM: IS THIS A NIGHTMARE
>>CHM: CAN I WAKE UP ALREADY
>>FLG: Esgol, we're all in this together. we shouldn't be getting so angry at each other
>>CHM: STOP
>>SBT: esgol
>>CHM: STOP ALL OF YOU
>>SBT: esgol please
Esgol ran ahead. The group followed. As they rushed ahead, they could feel the curvature of the hallway. And soon, they could no longer advance. The slope was very harsh, around 45 degrees. They had to jump from piece of furniture to piece of furniture, as it seems they were not affected by gravity, as if screwed in place.
Then, Feaser looked back. He couldn't see Devan. It was just him and Yedor.
