Andrew thought to himself, shaking his head. You should never fumble for the curtain, no matter what the consequence. Even in this place, you'd learn your way around... sheesh. He maintained a death grip on Michael's hand as the navigated through the area. He knew, somehow, that Michael's violent action against Mr. Washoe would be hard on him if they made it out. Something told him, oddly, that the big angry goth was just a pussycat with a spiked collar... like Ivy had said. Well, maybe like some exotic panther. The rough patches seemed to bring him back into the loving embrace of mortal terror. He didn't like the confined spaces, and the dino-lithic monstrosities were not very comforting either. His breath was held tight as each one passed and he knew his hand was hurting from clutching Michael's so tightly. He eased up, his thumb rubbing against the back of Michael's hand like he would do to his stone. After this, I doubt I'll have to worry about stage fright... I doubt I'll have to worry about scary movies, either."Jennifer... please stop sounding like some cultist when you make references. It is soo not helping your, like case." Andrew winced as the cloth brushed his lips. His vice grip on Michael's hand returned.

Beef, for once, has nothing to say, he looks at the figures warily, and wonders what the other side of this world is like. Perhaps, it was..truly disturbing and strange to see, perhaps it was normal. he didn't want to know, or anger the creatures.

Jennifer- "I-I always thought this world... people shouldn't be here! This isn't a place for humans..."
The ground felt soft under their feet, and moss had begun climbing the rough hewn walls. They leaned their weight on that side, tender hands scraping over the craggy surfaces. The other side, silken and yielding, was the real danger though, and just beyond it was unknown and terrifying. The air smelt boggy and earthen, and just a little fetid of decay. Ian- "This better be the right way..."
Jennifer came to a sharp turn in the wall, and stopped, running her tiny hands along the cloth, until she found a split in the cloth, and disappeared behind it. The room beyond the cloth looked like any ordinary, if slightly out-dated den. Wooden panels, stuffed deer head, roaring fireplace. The only unusual thing besides the wall of red curtains on one side, was that there was no ceiling. The walls went straight up into blackness. Ian- "So that's it? Can we get out of here now?"
Jennifer- "Well not yet. These rooms are safe from monsters because they're built by the shamans, but you'll have to you know..." (she mimed sticking a finger in her mouth) "Throw up the sacrament."
Michael- "Andy here barfed and it didn't work. We didn't even take the "sacrament"."
Jennifer- "Oh... Um.. Maybe you'll just have to hold on to someone who did."
Lucy- "Jennifer, will you be able to get out of this cult? Is it possible?"
Jennifer- "I don't know... I was really upset, they put my name on the list, I didn't know anything about it! I thought it was real all day, and they just told me it wasn't last night."
Lucy looked weirded out, and shook her head. Lucy- "Jennifer, your name... it was on a placard. I changed it for you, look--"
Lucy handed her a placard that read "GYENEHFUR KEZZLUR" Jennifer looked confused. Jennifer- "What do you mean? You changed the list? I-I was really on the list?"

Andrew nodded at Michael's words, shaking his head slowly. "No, there has to be another way out. Luka- I mean, Gabriel... I pulled him in and I puked out. And he, uh, he totally didn't eat the choco- I mean, sacrament or whatever. But, he got out! He got out, but I don't know how." Taking his time, he moved as close to Michael as possible. "And... and you didn't eat it either. There has to-" Andrew clipped his lip shut, remembering Michael's words. He blushed as he chastised the other man, leaning forward with a harsh whisper. "You said I talk to much? Well, between the two of us, somebody has to! I mean, seriously, you hardly say anything at all... Do you really think I'm cute?" Michael- "Yeah."
Andrew blushed and lilted his head to the side, resting on Michael's shoulder. He squirmed underneath Michael's arm after a moment, wrapping himself up in the taller man. His lips stayed curled in a smile, and he was silently content.

"I can puke here... but how can we stop them from following us after this? Are we done now? What if they just fix it?" He looks behind him. "This place is weird."

Leon limped along in relative silence. The slowed pace made it easier for him and Albert, and they caught up with the group again to find them following Jennifer. He didn't trust the girl - she was one of Jen's cronies, after all. Her and her boyfriend. Wait, her boyfriend...? "Hey, where's that fuckin' psychopath? Kevin? Man, he never lets her leave his sight." Jennifer- "Kevin? It's over with him! He's-- after what he did to Tanya? He laughed! He LAUGHED! I can't..."
Leon shifted his grip on Albert, trying not to lean so heavy since they'd stopped. "This is a trap, that fucker's probably just waiting to brain us on the other side."

"No way, she isn't a traitor... if you don't want to...well, I don't know how to get out, let's just do our thing and get out of here!"

Jennifer shook her head, disbelieving. "They-- they must've just added it. I can't think of any-- They-they really did that to me? No... How did you change the list?"
Lucy explained what they'd done, using the machine. "You really did that for me? Even after.... Oh Lucy." She couldn't manage more tears, but squeezed up her face for a moment, until she calmed herself. "I can't believe you did that on your own... I hate those kind of ceremonies. I never used that machine, but there are other ones like it. I hate the part about "baring your souls" and holding hands. It's really embarrassing." Lucy got a disturbed look on her face. Lucy- "Uh, do what?"
Jennifer- "You know, it's how you bind the magic. Everyone who's there has to hold hands and then it's really--" Her eyes got big."You didn't--"
A pale shape dropped from the darkness above. It landed in the center of the room without a sound -- a white goat that stood up on two spindly insect-like legs. In a jerky movement it raised a hooved leg and jabbed it at Jennifer's chest, just barely touching her sweater with the tip of a hoof. She opened her mouth, and a torrent of blood spilled out soundlessly. She gagged up a large fleshy object, and like a dentist doing an extraction, the goat impaled it on to a blade that was tied to the other hoof with a red silk cord. Everyone was stunned silent. Jennifer slumped to the ground, and the goat stared at the bloody organ on the knife like it was a particularly tasty apple. "IT IS SEALED"The voice was genderless and airless, and the goat leaped into the darkness again in a single, flea-like jump. Then it was quiet.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" He screams, and flails his bat at the thing. "FUCK YOU FUCK YOU YOU SHIT FUCK." He's shouting pretty loudly now. "We have to destroy that machine, even with all the stupid cultists..They have no powers... they're just old people. I have a bat, we have knives." He paces, and looks at the pictures. "They can add all our names... They can kill us all. Let's just get them first. Stop all this madness." Michael- "A-as much as I wanna wreck shit up after that, I dunno if that would work! I think it just makes the placards and somethin' else is what makes 'em work!"

Andrew squinted his eyes at the beast, and the barrage of slurping and slithering sound was almost as bad as visualizing it. He heard the thud as Jennifer fell onto the ground. He was scared now. Beef's yelling didn't help much, either. "JESUS! GRAB HANDS GRAB HANDS!" Andrew shouted, trembling and trying to keep the sight of Jennifer Kessler out of his peripheral vision. He didn't want to look upwards, either, but watching out for the goat-flea seemed a less terrifying option at present. "OH GOD! GRAB MY HAND!"

He seems to calm down, and breathes deeply, dropping his weight. He closes his eyes, and holds hands with them. "I don't know, we heard them asking for souls bared, but I didn't see it. Being naked is kind of embarrassing."

Andrew coughed and lowered his head. "Absolution... like... oh jesus... again?" Andrew squeezed Lucy's and Michael's hands for support. "I... I really don't know about this, but it is all I can think of. I steal from all the charity booths I participate in... My... My mom isn't... my mom isn't a hot shot lawyer. She... she's a drunk lawyer... and... and I love Disney movies... and I'm gay.... like, super gay-gay. I... I asked Lucy to the dance to make I- er... to make Ian jealous because I had a crush on him... NO not any more, sorry, Ian." He looked over at Michael, hoping for some support in the last statement. Michael- "Yup, we totally had gay makeouts. It's good."
Ian- "...! Wow, I-I didn't know..."
In the following silence he added, "And I SWEAR if anyone says anything about that... I'm just going to die... which I guess if this doesn't work, it is as good as I'll get..." Lucy- "Of course we won't tell! God, I just don't want anyone to die! Thank you Andrew..."

"Oh what the fuck?!" Leon staggered away from Jennifer and the thing, dragging Albert with him. Given how tight he was clutching Albert's shirt, he likely put a few new tears in it. Leon eyed the rest of the group dubiously as they formed a hand-holding circle. How would that keep the Beast away? What, were they gonna gratify it? Eventually he sighed and relented. "C'mon Al, we gotta join the circle." He took up a spot, with Beef on one side and Albert on the other, standing somewhat awkwardly on his own. "Fuck me, maybe we gotta confess all our sins or someshit. Like in church." Albert- Well, damn, this is weird... How do you know what baring your soul is? How do you know what the thing you have to say is? Like if you got more than one thing, will just one work, or does it gotta be everything?

"Uh, I... I lied to my mom and I scared her last night, um... I stole the candy from someone's locker last year, and I... I took the dollar off the counter last night so that I could pay for my new album, I was a little short." He stutters, and shifts around as he tries to think.
