[ The water begins to bubble, rising up and up in the bowl like a fountain, until it spills out of the bowl in waves, soaking into the dirt and around them. Still, though it overflows, the bowl seems no less empty than before - and the water climbs up and up and up, until the fountain becomes the gentle waterfall of a small stream no bigger than the circumference of the bowl. Through the waterfall, you can see -
Like a broken tail light, flickering and inconsistent in its brightness, a lump of faulty lighting takes center stage of the waterfall, by and large covered up by the tattered, human-like skinsuit you could recognize as Mehniel, though their outer layer is torn enough that you can see bits of feather and fur poking out, and on the floor around them are abandoned bits of feather and hair too, dim light now that they've been torn out. Behind them you can catch the vague shape of something, though you'll largely see the lights illuminating it from underneath a bevelled stone indent in the ground. Currently, the lights are a dull, constant red. If you squint you can see a glimpse of the wall behind; on it are hieroglyphs, unreadable to you. ]
PLOT TOPLEVELS IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER W/ CONTENT WARNINGS:
TALK WITH THE ANGEL - cw mild body horror in Yugi's thread
! IT'S THE FEDS
THURSDAY ACTIONS TURN-IN
THURSDAY: PRE-FIGHT - cw vein/artery mention in Requiem's thread
THURSDAY: FIGHT - cw dismemberment, decapitation via explosion, eye horror, body horror
THURSDAY: POST-FIGHT - cw body horror (yugi, nemesis) dismemberment, decapitation, general gruesomeness (king) implied suicide (hurricane)

Re: POST-FIGHT
". . . Just - y'know. We can't let you do that again. It's . . . it's safer for everyone if you're here. It's safer for you."
The silence that follows is only broken by precipice dropping from the cavern's ceiling, breaking the still surface of the puddle nearest to you; from the corner of your eye, you can see the waves warp your form further. You, with your many glowing eyes, your sprouting wings, your melting mouth, and your nice, nice suit. It's not so nice anymore, not with the many chains that bind you to the cavern's wall crumpling the buttons, but it's hard to see the dirt against how dark it is.
You open your mouth - Wait, no, what did I do? - but all that comes out is an animalistic noise, completely incomprehensible even to your own ears.
Hurricane winces with that, a protective hand reaching out to pull Nemesis back protectively. He opens his mouth, like he wants to say something more - and then, decides against it.
". . . We'll . . . we'll come back to see you. Promise."
But in the end, that's a lie. The sun rises and falls and rises and falls and you are here, trapped, abandoned.
Alone. ]
