[ oh it is immediately sweltering and he hates it. he's from a northern village please spare him. ]
... Feels like we're in an active volcano. [ speaking of volcanoes, a bit of fire bursts out in front of both of them to force them to walk a longer, windier path. ] ... A volcano with feelings.
Doesn't it look like a weird fictional hellscape? This is straight up the kind of thing I'd expect to see in the Valley of Torment, not through a little door in a hotel hallway.
[ ah.
purposely, yuri tries to take a different, narrower route than the one the fire is guiding them too and nearly takes a blast of flame to the face for his troubles. ]
[ honestly i think it would hilarious if they tried climbing and got yote into the torture centre for their troubles. ]
I'll be fine if we have to, sure.
[ but for the sake of us, becks and zia, the fire is now licking angrily down the pathway from where they came, moving towards them at a not insignificant speed. ]
You mean you don’t frequent locations with health spas and fire and brimstone settings?
[ well fuck there they go.
i hope this is like flat out comedy in this nightmare situation. stumbling, sliding and bumping into each other as they slip into a probably inelegant, maybe elegant landing on the floor of the ✨ 💖 torture chamber 💖 ✨]

Yes, but now I just feel badly prepared.
[ he nods. at the sword. ]
no subject
Better safe than sorry. [ he tilts his head in thought ] Guessing most people didn't get a weapon as their item, though.
no subject
[ besides, his fire emblem sword would just break midgame. canon. ]
no subject
[ it's a little fancy. he just does not know. amnesia is funny. ]
no subject
[ his fancy little sword. ]
So. Any of these potentially terrible doors take your fancy?
no subject
[ so there? anyway, he looks at the doors and picks #11! ]
This one, I guess.
[ he opens it!
IT'S JUST LITERALLY HELL ]
no subject
[ anyway indeed.
yuri just peers over cloud’s shoulder and—
wow.
that’s literally just hell. ]
…
Don’t go picking your own doors from now on, mmkay?
no subject
[ dry. but unfortunately both have them have looked into hell and are thus compelled to go in... and See ]
... Guess we should check it out anyway.
no subject
Seems like we’re not being given that luxury of choice here either. C’mon, let’s get this over with.
no subject
[ :/
but onto hell they go and first, the second they step in! boy is it sweltering! boy is the door closed! boy does it seem like a bad idea now. ]
... Better hope there's another door somewhere.
no subject
[ sir, they’re in hell. ]
Call me pessimistic, but I’m not seeing any other ways out of here. If it was as easy as finding another door, we’d be out by now.
no subject
[ the souls of the damned are screaming. cloud has regrets. ]
... Your turn to pick the way. [ cloud lost privileges :( ]
no subject
… Head east for now. It’s as a good a direction as any when everything looks the same.
[ the screams of the damned might be quieter here, but it definitely just amped up the uncomfortable heat by about 15 notches. yikes. ]

...
Touchy feelings.
no subject
[ like, he can guess, but he's hoping to skip the whole thing because he already feels tormented enough. down the shitty path they go ]
Watch your step. Looks like we might get up and personal with whatever this place wants if we're not careful.
[ it gets EVEN HOTTER. They are going to be SO SWEATY. ]
no subject
[ NO... no one wants to be sweaty. and yuri's wearing a hotel sweater, this is terrible. ]
If we don't melt into a puddle before then. What do they want us to do here? Sweat out our pores? Indulge in a little heatstroke?
[ send them a sign, literal!hell!! ]
no subject
cloud looks at him ]
I think heatstroke would've been better.
no subject
Mm, yeah. They can take that back, I'm not into torture.
no subject
[ he tries to see if they can turn back! there is now fire behind them. at least that explais the temperature. hm. he looks up at the cliffside. ]
... You any good at climbing?
[ fam just go to the torture room ]
no subject
I'll be fine if we have to, sure.
[ but for the sake of us, becks and zia, the fire is now licking angrily down the pathway from where they came, moving towards them at a not insignificant speed. ]
no subject
Looks like that option's being taken out of the running too. C'mon, run.
[ he says it very calmly before going, mostly because. god. it's so warm. he does not want to run. but he wants to die less, so SURE, FINE.
this whole fire thing is hell on his ptsd also ]
no subject
but hey. he doesn’t need to be told twice. ]
Oh good. Torture chamber it is then.
no subject
[ the fire thinks they are running too slow and it is catching up. cloud wonders if he can flip off the fire.
hell decides to be helpful and the road turns into a slide all of a sudden. ]
Shit!
[ that's the only warning yuri gets before they slide deeper to reach the torture chamber <3 ]
no subject
[ well fuck there they go.
