Zadinya had turned away from the group and was attempting to decide on a door to choose by the time Alti spoke up, shouting at him in an offended manner. The demon chortled at the man's sudden vigor and waved hand to the side dismissively, not bothering to turn around as the amalgamate eyes were already locked on the source of the noise.
"I suppose I was, yes." He chimed, tapping a finger to his chin once more as he scanned the doors indecisively. "But for good reason. I was simply looking out for the more.... beaten up.. members of the group. But, Von Altheroff, if you'd like to help us out, I'm sure the little pop idol would be willing to give up her spot. Given how cowardly she is~!" He cooed as he glanced over his shoulder. "She can't even stand up for herself, much less for the greater good." He snickered as he turned his attention back to the doors.
"However, now isn't the time for bickering, pumpkin. Now is the time for taking action. I'll let you interpret that however you like."

Her bleary eyes opened to the rest of the crew getting out safely: a wash of relief overtaking her entire being. That was soon interrupted by an insurge of pain coursing through her legs, a quick glance downward revealing their mangled condition. Blood coursed throughout the appendages, leaking out every which way....oh well. It didn't matter when the sweet taste of victory was just on her tongue. She stood upright, her legs trembling every step of the way, and carried onward to wherever the rest of the group would go.
It seemed demon #3 took to commanding the rest of the team to his whim. While he did make a good point of using the most viable survivors to brace the doors: he forgot the factor of getting out if the situation gets grim.
"If I were to go into one of those death traps, I'd like someone to bail me out. Therefore someone should stand guard and pick the lock in case there's something ready to kill us," she stated, her commanding demeanor punctuated by trembles of pain. She wasn't in any real condition to fight: but by God, willpower would rule over any force of nature in her path.

He snickered as he turned his attention back to the doors. "However, now isn't the time for bickering, pumpkin. Now is the time for taking action. I'll let you interpret that however you like." Alti rolled his eyes with a scoff as the demon amalgamate dismissively spoke to him, his brows furrowing especially after the mention of his last name. Who the fuck even told you....? He shook the thought away. So what if another crossroad demon knew his name? Now wasn't the time to worry about it. "Like I need some slimy soul-stealer lookin' out for me...." he grumbled bitterly, loosening himself out of his partner's grip only to tremble on buckling knees once his boots hit the ground. As soon as he settled himself, he noticed the many swatches of blood smeared across his partner's naked back and frowned at the sight of it, his eyes darting to the remains of the other's shirt wrapped around his already healed wound with utter dismay. My bad. he thought, the man breaking from his little bout of self-pity once 'Amil' spoke up again. "Whatever." he spat coldly, gesturing his arms in the direction of the doors nearest to the sludge-covered asshole, "Please, after you." |

"Bitch, you talkin' shit right now?" he effortlessly seethed at the demon-driven husk of a man. "I suppose I was, yes." He chimed, tapping a finger to his chin once more as he scanned the doors indecisively. "But for good reason. I was simply looking out for the more.... beaten up.. members of the group. But, Von Altheroff, if you'd like to help us out, I'm sure the little pop idol would be willing to give up her spot. Given how cowardly she is~!" He cooed as he glanced over his shoulder.

She wasn't in any real condition to fight: but by God, willpower would rule over any force of nature in her path. Cyrus nearly jumped as Alti piped up all of a sudden, looking back at his incapacitated partner in surprise. "Oy don't push yourself--" he started to scold him, teetering forward once the other's weight left his back all of a sudden. As Alti stumbled and buckled like a newborn giraffe, the engineer tried to grab and steady him without tugging his injured arm. "Hey ya dummy what are you doing!? I said that I got you!" he hissed, brows drawing together with concern as what seemed to be a victim of major blood loss tried standing on his own two feet. But to his surprise, Alti was not only able to stand up on his own two feet but easily gestured with the arm that had previously been hanging on by a thread. Staring in silent shock and confusion for a few moments, he finally shook those feelings off and allowed relief to set in. Now certainly wasn't the time to question it. Turning back to Amil he raised an eyebrow. "Yeah I agree with her," he jabbed his thumb in Ortus's direction. "Hell if I want to enter another potential death trap by myself. Groups of 2 would make more sense. One person checks, one person stands by to bail them out if shit goes down." |

Zadinya smirked at Alti's bitter response before turning around and listening to the less psychotic scientist and ex model speak up about their concerns, to which he couldn't blame them. If Zadinya wanted to remain in this realm, he'd need Amil's body alive, and the likelihood of a trap being enough to kill the soulless man was enough to get the demon slightly antsy.
"A good point. I suppose I wasn't considering that to be an option, given most of these people could barely stand, much less perform more complex tasks like picking locks. Although, I'd say brute force would be a much easier way to go, were we to get stuck. And even THAT presents a problem. Hmmm...." Zadinya's smirk fell away as he scanned the contestants.
"Well, if you'd like to go off in pairs, then by all means. Pair yourselves off. I on the other hand...." The demon held his arm out and allowed the amalgamate glove to slosh to the floor. The man's bare arm immediately fell to his side, the appendage being riddled with enormous chunks of flesh missing, appearing to have been devoured by the black creature itself. "...I'll watch my own back. No offense, but I don't particularly trust any of you to bail me out if I were to get stuck."
A wry smirk spread across his face as he placed his working hand on his hip. "Any other concerns? Speak your mind now, because you might not get the chance once we open those doors~!"

"Any other concerns? Speak your mind now, because you might not get the chance once we open those doors~!" Alti exhaled heavily through his nose and looked at each of the mysterious doors as he listened to the others continue to fine-tune phase #2 of their escape plan. The exits all looked the same, none of them giving away any cues as to what could possibly be behind them, and given how close to death the contestants were back in the last room, there was no telling where the hell these doors even led to. They only knew what they hoped: that one of them would bring the group to the sadistic bitch herself, so all of it was very much a gamble. Lightly taking Cyrus' hand, Alti glanced back at the soulless one who was already at work using his own cheat to knock down one of their exit options. Figuratively, of course. "Nope, no concerns here. I'll check." he said flatly, displaying their linked hands to the group and his disgruntled partner with a light wag before walking over to one of the doorways. He placed a hand on the cold surface of the knob, turning to face his partner with a raised eyebrow. "You said you got me, right? Let's do this....." And so, he opened the door and led the two into the corridor on the other side. Strange. He honestly expected worse, but in a facility designed to kill people, he didn't stay comfortable for long. At the very end of the hallway was another door, eerily enough. Guess I have to open that too, he thought tersely to himself with a expression plagued with irritation. Hesitant in almost every step, Alti skittered over to the second door with the engineer in tow and immediately opened it.......  |

" Perfect~!" Zadinya boomed as he walked over towards his door choice. Whether this was because of the confirmation there weren't any concerns, albeit from only one person, or from the choice he'd made was unclear. The amalgamate blob trudged after its owner as he opened the door and peered inside. A long corridor with yet another doorway at the end merely caused more frustration for the demon. "I hate these types of games... Was never any good at them..." He grumbled to himself as he walked down the hallway, the black goo following closely behind. He placed his ear up to the door in hopes of catching any auditory clues of what could possibly be behind the door. Any mechanical clicks or air seeping out of a vent that could indicate some sort of trap, or if he were lucky, the breathing of an anxious scientist cowering beneath her desk, waiting to be slaughtered. Either way, there was nothing the demon could here, which only added to his frustration. Zadinya reached for the doorknob, hesitating right before grabbing it and smiling to himself. "What am I doing?" He mumbled, a strange, lighthearted tone in his voice. He turned to face the blob, wearing a much sterner expression. " YOU!" The blob seemed to jump at the sudden intensity in his voice. "Humanoid, now." The blob's eyes shut as it began stretching up towards the ceiling. Once it reached the same height as its master, it stopped and slowly begun shaping itself into a lanky human, albeit completely black and covered in bright yellow eyes. "Now, open the door and go inside. If there's a trap, you are to bang on the door. If you find Elenara, you are to screech as loud as you can and block any other exit in the room, understood?" He commanded, the figure nodding its head in understanding. Zadinya stepped away from the door, standing near the middle of the hallway as the beast slowly turned the knob and stepped inside....  |

As the group ran from the current position they were in after getting out of the gas valt, Maicy and Piami spotted fives doors, with one of them container Elenara Maicy felt her hand held tight from her partner as they began to shake. She held their hand tight as well. Maicy was about to say something to them, until.... . Amil?? said something Maicy's eyes widened at what he said. Why Piami of all people?! She looked over to the pop idol who is obviously scared by all of this. It gotten more complicated as Alti decided to bark at Amil for talking shit about those he did not mention for opening one of the doors. ]The struck a nerve for both Maicy and Piami Alti, Ortus, and Cyrus had their say on the matter. Piami walked over towards Maicy. "So... do you want me to check in the room, Piami?" Maicy asked the pop idol "I'll... go in" Piami spoken "Wait! You can't be serious, Pip!" Maicy cried "It's too risky! I should go in there.." "Maicy, you had to carry me, as well as Aberdeen, earlier. The least I can do is return..." Maicy sighed to that statement. "...Want to to help you escape in case it is a trap..?" "...Yes" Maicy glanced at Aberdeen for a moment before glancing back at Piami who seems to be going into one of the rooms. Piami opened the door and see....  |

A sardonic smile spread across her face as the pitiful creatures of the experiment crawled around at the doors, knowing exactly that she was just as pathetic as all of them. Now all she had to do to not look like a hypocrite was to follow through with her advice. She pointed to a smaller pink haired woman and signaled her over, not even bothering to learn her name along with any one else's. "I need help," She stated dryly, leading her over to her door of choice. The leaden steps she took were no matter, and the trail of blood would surely help the woman to find out where she was going.  All it took then was to hand her her sunglasses that Demon #3 rejected. "If anything goes wrong, pick the lock. I'm not dying tonight," |

Nace shivered at the realization that his partner had once more been taken over by the demon, but at this point, if it was more likely to get them out alive...then so be it. He could deal with Zadinya when this was all over, but not if Amil was dead. He turned to look at his ex, a sour expression on his face. "I'm going to kill you, don't think this changes anything. But if I die then there really is no point to it anyways." He turned back and started heading towards the last remaining door. "YOU COMING FUCKER?!" He called to the three other contestants.

Vale glanced over at Alraada, his body still heaving from the gas. He felt strange, not just from the chemicals but also as though he couldn't properly move. All of his motions were jerky and automatic, like he was on auto-pilot but with little direction. Perhaps whatever was effecting Alti was effecting him as well? "I'm glad you're alright," He whispered to his partner. He didn't make a move to touch her, however. Even after a near death experience, his comfort was something he was sure she was less than happy to receive. The problem of Nace was present, but is seemed the man had chosen a less aggressive approach for once. A shock on Vale's part. "Would you....like me to carry you?" He asked tentatively. After she confirmed it was alright, she carefully picked her up bridal stlye before looking ahead with a stern expression. "Let's get this over with," He muttered, preparing himself to follow after the person who'd ruined his life, ironically someone who might just save it in the present.  |

Galystris raised her hand after Ortus requested help.
"I'm right here." She spoke plainly, heading over to follow Ortus and help her with the objective.
Alraada however, her mind still in a jumble, stayed briefly fearful after vale picked her up, but relief flooded in quickly as soon as he had established he had no intention of starting a fight.
"Uh...t-thank you, vale..." She mumbled, trailing off, fighting her scattered brain to choke out more words.
Tuning out the quarrels of the ex-lovers, she noticed the doors being opened.
The door vale and Alraada stood at opened with ease.
Ortus and Galystris' door opened as well.
Zadinya's door opened.
So did maicy, piami, and Aberdeen's.
Alti's and Cyrus', however jiggled hopelessly
The door was locked.
Hearing an audible frustrated groan coming from the other end of the door where Alti and cryrus stood and the slamming of a button, the doors down the hallway of the other opened doors the others were standing in front of blew
open, and the same noxious yellow gas burst out into the hall.

A burst of yellow gas exploded into Zadinya's face, the demon immediately scowling and turning away. "Of course. Big surprise there. I hate guessing games." He muttered under his breath before covering his mouth and quickly exiting the hallway and slamming the door behind him. The black ooze helplessly sloshed out of the room, seeping through the crack beneath the door and whining from pain and delirium. Zadinya scowled at the creature and crossed his arms.
"Where is that bitch?" He called out. The demon slowly crawled up its master's leg and reattached to his arm.

As soon as toxic gas began to spew out, Piami yelped in fear and both her and Maicy ran out of the room as quickly as possible after they covered mouths upon see the obnoxious air. At of of frustration, Maicy kicked the door to slam it shut behind. You can say she is mad as hell.
"Of course..." Maicy growled. "OF FUCKING COURSE THAT BITCH WOULD USE THE DAMN TOXIC GAS ON US FOR THIS BULLSHIT!!!!"
Maicy almost began to punch a wall before stopping herself. She took a deep breath to calm herself. Calm down, you idiot.
"Maicy...." Piami wept
"I know...." Maicy responded. "We could've died in there...." She turned to the pop idol "We made it out, Pip.."
And with that, Maicy and Piami walked to the center of the room, where Aberdeen is at.
"Man, fuck Elenara...." Maicy spoken before sighing to herself.

He placed a hand on the cold surface of the knob, turning to face his partner with a raised eyebrow. "You said you got me, right? Let's do this....." "Yeah, don't worry. I've got you," he reassured, staying right beside him as the two cautiously made their way down the ominous hallway. Once his partner took hold of the door handle, he braced himself for whatever trap or certain doom awaited them on the other side... *Click*Cyrus widened his eyes as Alti tugged at the door handle, pressing his ear to the door as he heard what sounded like movement and a voice in the locked room. Jackpot. "That bitch is in here!" he shouted, alerting anyone that might be within the proximity to hear. With a few more sharp tugs at the door handle, he turned to Alti, pointing to the other man's scalp frantically. Their captor and presumably, their way out was just behind this door. "I need two of those.. black, stick-shaped pins you put in your hair..." He searched for the word for a few moments before snapping his fingers. Oh yeah-- "Booby pins. 2 of them." |

Zadinya's eyes lit up as it appeared Alti and Cyrus had been the lucky winners of this little game. The demon immediately rushed into their hallway, his smile fading into a look of confusion. "What are you doing? No dramatic entrance? Just bust the door down~!" He chortled as he approached the door, looking between the two men. "It'd be much faster, after all. And gives her less time to escape. But, whatever floats your boat I suppose." He leaned up against the wall and tapped his foot impatiently.
Aberdeen watched Maicy and Piami reemerge from their hallway, the yellow gas that trailed behind them clearly indicating that Elenara was not behind that door. "Are you two alright?" They asked, noticing 'Amil' run towards Cyrus and Alti's chosen path. "Uh... I think they found her.."
