[ 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 💖 ✨]
[ it is absolutely a mess and cloud and Yuri absolutely end up in a pile of embarrassment at the end of it. the torture chamber looks like .. A torture chamber. I will let you decide if there's an extra random soul for them to torture or not ]
hang on yuri’s got to untangle himself from this pile of twink limbs. he’s working on it. coin flip says there is a random soul in here, but jury’s out on if it’s going to be tortured or torture them. wowee. ]
Or it'll crisp us up to death. [ well, he says that but then he takes a step and goes ahead to sprint through it!! bye yuri cloud has decided to go die first ]

[ 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.
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 💖 ✨]

I want off this hell ride. [ badumtshhh ]
no subject

Ugh.
[ ugh. ]
Did the fire stop chasing us at least?
no subject
he actually looks behind them to check. the fire is not chasing them! but it is blocking the way back. like they can just climb a hellslide anyway. ]
We're good on that front, but... [ hello why does this room look like a bdsm nightmare. why's there some guy here. ] We've got company.
no subject
hm. well. blocking is better than actively chasing. ]
Hm? Oh.
[ ... ]
Hello?
[ the poor soul flickers slightly. it does not respond. ]
no subject
cloud stares at it ]
Nope.
[ he is going to walk AROUND the torture devices thank you ]
no subject
hate that.
so does yuri. ]
Mm. Well, sorry if you were looking for a good time but-- I'm not into that.
[ he waves.
the fire bursts up in front of the way out. ]
no subject
life sucks, then you take a step back and you are still in the torture chamber. ]
Seriously? What exactly are we supposed to do here?
no subject
Torturing that thing’s one option.
[ he pulls a face at the thought. ]
… Or we could walk through the fire.
no subject
[ he has BEEN in a murdergame before!!! he has also never been tempted to walk into fire before so he is looking at it reluctantly. ]
no subject
[ … ]
The fire’s the only thing stopping us from leaving. If the goal is to make us do something we don’t want, walking through it might count.
