( a ) - escaping the elements ( no, one doesn't exactly plan to get thrust into a whole other world where the world itself seems hell-bent on trying to batter your spirits into submission. but if Vin could have planned this, she would have brought more vials. currently, she clutches a vial in her hands as she tries to outrun the storm that hounds at her. what had been bearable rain now turns into ice that pelts against her skin. her cloak wasn't made for protection against the elements. it does nothing to lessen the pain of each droplet turned to ice shard that pricks her skin. then the winds pick up. it takes everything in Vin not to down the vial she holds in her hand. pewter would help her bear this. pewter would make the cold not so biting and the shards less piercing. but somehow, Vin suspects these sorts of dangers won't be the last. she grits her teeth and darts towards a door. any door at this point. there's only one in sight. she slips and slides against the ground. she wishes that was intentional, but without pewter to aid her balance the elements win in bringing her down. she uses her natural grace to at least use the slipping to get her the rest of the way to the door. then she thuds against it as she tries to open it. ) Of course. ( she snarls as she tries the handle and rattles it. something thick is pushed up against the other side. ) If anyone is in there, some help would be appreciated! ( she yells over the winds as she slams her shoulder into the only nearby door to try to pry it open. ) ( b ) - into the labyrinth ( Vin hasn't really stopped moving in awhile. she's getting tired, but there's nowhere to rest. even the inside of this place seems to want to kill her. the waters rise up past her knees, teeth chattering in the silence as she sloshes onward. she climbs out of the water on a desk or a cabinet any chance she gets. but sometimes she has to brave the water to move on. she just needs the labyrinth to slope up. something to get her further out of the climbing depths. instead it seems to go down, plunging deeper and deeper. she's almost certain she's hit a dead end, destined to drown in a damn hallway. after everything, this is where it ends?! then the waters recede. they seem to flow backwards and Vin lifts her head in shocked silence. she tries to look around for any sign of what's happening outside. instead she finds a mirror in front of her. then she hears the breathing. ) Who's there? ( she calls out, though she doesn't yet look away from the mirror. maybe she can see the person breathing in the reflection. ) ( c ) - escaping reality ( crawling through the mirror wasn't the most brilliant ideas, but Vin is ever the person to find out more by going in deeper. and the hole did perfectly fit her. now this room, though... a. it's large and there's very little light. she's not even certain she's left the mirror-hole until she finally sees a glow. by that point, it's too late to turn back. the room has opened up too wide for her to find where the mirror-hole entrance had been. she doesn't search that long for it anyway. after all, there's a light to follow. underneath a table she shoves away she finds a mirror. she kneels on the floor, hovering over the mirror as she peers into another room filled with light compared to hers. eventually, she sees another soul wander into the room. ) Hello? ( she tries, not certain if the other person can hear or see her at all. b. she's lost track of the rooms. one room she broke out of. then she fell into another room. then she crawled through the cracks in another. she's not even certain of the order she's done each room in. they're starting to blend together. at least this room is decently lit. with a heavy sigh, she finds the next mirror and sits down, leaning her back against it. she waits patiently, hoping someone eventually shows up. that's about the only thing she's figured out so far in all the rooms. there's always another person, and she can never find even a crack without someone else there. ) ( d ) - wildcard ( open for any and all other prompts. message me at magickal on plurk or vaineglorie#1372 on discord if you have any questions. )
