The door burst open and weird turbulent air washed over him. It was full of petrol vapors, microscopic rotten wood dust, and weirder flavors. A machine in the room made all manner of weird noise, and generated enough heat to see by.
There was a chute in the ceiling and another in the floor, and between the two, a large, thick chain rapidly circulated, like a jigsaw or bike chain. Caught in the spokes was some kind of random bits of bone and feathers, and something that slapped wetly against the mouth of the chute on every pass. On the floor was a fireaxe embedded in what looked like an antique truck tire. Eli- "Holy shit... it's like when Michael finds the lead pipe at the beginning of Whisperers..." He slowly approached and tried to pull the fireaxe out.

The axe came out noisily. A feather popped free, twisted in the air, and drifted the floor. Looked like pigeon.
Eli let someone else take up the things he'd been previously holding, as he re-emerged into the hall. Then he looked to the next door. Fake. Then,
As he turned to go to the next one after that, he realized the hall ended ahead quicker than he thought. The tail end of it here was covered in ... old tar? Some kind of unpleasant dark substance. There was only one more door -
And it opened into a room with a single pale light bulb buzzing away, and three more doors leading out of it. If he kept on, he'd very far from the others that had checked out the opposite direction, out of sight to those who were in the hall behind him...(ORIGINALLY...) The machine responded with noisy indifference. A feather popped free, twisted in the air, and drifted the floor. Looked like pigeon.

((New thread! I'll assume August went with Eli, but will mostly be quiet as he hangs back to keep an eye on stragglers. Anyone else wanting to join the man on point, have ur guy tag along there.))

((Can't find a Trinny post yet, but Quinn will stick by Leo so I'll put him here for the moment.))
Quinn didn't feel particularly brave, but the pervasive 'big-brother' sensation he'd stumbled on earlier in the room still compelled him to stay and watch over Leo. He stayed firm to her side wherever she chose to go.

After a bit, when Leo seemed safe nuf with Courtney and Cameron around, Jason went off to see how Eli and August were doing.

As of the time Trevor and Sophie dragged Ru-less Babette back here, only Trileon, Cameron, Courtney, and Quinn were present. Jason, August, and Eli were elsewhere and Ru still unaccounted for. Well, it had only been a few minutes since you lost him.

This entire time, Leo had remained silent. There really wasn't much she could say. There was no way she was going to wander off and explore; the fear of getting lost in this place and never coming out convinced her to stay put. She wondered about Brent.. Where had their captors taken him? Was he even alive, or was he one of..them? She tried her best not to assume the worst. "...' Without a word she motioned for Quinn to follow her to the wall, where she slid down it and sat with her knees close to her chest. Luckily, the bloody hospital gown was long enough to cover about an three inches below her knees. She continued to be silent, lost in her own thoughts.

Quinn went as bidden and sunk down next to her quietly. He watched her and when he did speak it was soft enough to be ignored if she felt like it. "We made it this far...which is a great deal farther than we initially believed we could go..."

She acknowledged the statement with a sideways glance. She spoke in the same quiet tone as him, "Just.. What happens when we get out, man?" The question didn't sound like it was directed at him, nor did it sound like she wanted an answer. It just sort of.. hung there.

He was happy to hear her say 'when' instead of 'if'."When we make it out of here? Darling, after what we've been through, we'll do whatever we bloody well please."

She cracked a small smile, and her head met his shoulder. "Yeah. Okay."

Quinn- "That's my girl." He put his chin on top of her head, waiting for the explorers to either come back or send some word, sticking with his sister for the time being. He did, however, look up to the others, seeing what the general consensus was.

Sophie looked around at the others and cleared her through a little to get their attention."Uh, we don't know where Ru is. He fell down somewhere, presumably to another room. Anyone seen him?"

Cameron- "Somewhere?! What does that mean?"

Leo stared up at Sophie in disbelief. "Well he isn't here! Why didn't you jump in after him?! We gotta go get'im!"
