Ariel: So, we're all alone. What shall we do now? [act]leers angelically[/act]
Elspeth: [act]shudders[/act]
Ariel: [act]advances[/act]
Elspeth: [act]feels draught. Widens eye and gropes backward.[/act] Look! A tunnel! I'm saved.
Ariel: [act]pouts[/act]
Elspeth: [act]scrabbles wildly towards tunnel, hits head on overhanging rock and curses [/act]
Ariel: Wifey! Let me kiss it better...
[act]piercing squeal and shriek erupts into corridor. Ariel and Elspeth pause. [/act]
Ariel: [act]Shrieks in a girlish voice and pushes Elspeth out of way, racing into tunnel away from her.[/act]
Elspeth: [act]Rolls eyes[/act] Husbands! You just can't get good ones these days. [act]Follows Ariel grumpily up tunnel, but then shrieks and runs faster when squeal behind her seems closer[/act]
[act]Meanwhile...[/act]
Rushton: No _I_ have more dust in my throat. Look [act]hawk[/act]
Matthew: No way, brother! Check this out [act]HAWK[/act]
Dames: Pfft. [act]Hawks. Spits twice as far as other two. Phlegm lands on Matthew who squeals.[/act]
Dames: Oops, sorry. Did I hit someone?
[act]Matthew's squeals drowned out by larger squeals in corridor[/act]
Dames: Geez, Matty, it's only a bit of spit. What's with you?
[act]Ariel and Elspeth emerge dustily from tunnel.[/act]
Dames & Matty: [act]Ignore Ariel, who is still quietly shrieking. Sniff the air. Smell Elspeth's scent. React.[/act] Elspeth! Honey! Are you OK?
Elspeth: [act]Glares at Matthew, recognising his voice. He doesn't see because it's dark.[/act] What, you too?? What about Dragon?
Matthew: [act]Puts hands behind back and looks around innocently. Elspeth doesn't see that either. Duh![/act]
[act]Another loud squeal in distance. All shriek except Dameon[/act]
Dameon: Elspeth? Was that you? [act]Starts groping around in the dark. Realises he's blind and doesn't need to grope. Walks confidently up to Elspeth. Is intercepted by Ariel, who is using his twisted Empath powers to detect Dames' feelings for Elspeth. The two face each other and start moving from side to side like the scene from Pitch Black (which is also what the squeals are coming from, and if you haven't seen this movie, all I can say is, SIGH).[/act]
[act]Dames removes the pair of goggles he's acquired from somewhere (Pitch black style:
http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/17muo3jsiln41jpg/original.jpg). His eyes blaze in the dark.[/act] I can see!
[act]Flexes his biceps triumphantly at Elspeth. She doesn't notice. It's dark, and she can't see.[/act]
Dames: [act]pouts[/act]
sENTINAl:
Help! I've fallen and I can't get up! [act]cough[/act]
