Reforge

You see the bug's about to jump again and take a step back on instinct.


But rather than finding the floor your foot just sort of goes... down?


And you’re drifting off, untethered, from somewhere to somewhere else, and something, maybe the fact it feels like your brain is making an earnest effort to physically run away, tells you that this is not a somewhere where the trip’ll be survivable, and


suddenly you’re back inside, in gravity, falling backwards, and you throw out your other foot, get spun around, slam against the pipe.

You look around, breathing heavily, and find yourself just a ways off from where you just were when whatever the fuck that was happened again.

You should, uh, probably try and process that later when there’s no scary wildlife.


Then you spot that ladder to your right- you remember that was one of the two ways forward you were considering, the less sure one. You suppose that's still an option and you could just sort of go down? But in doing so, you’d abandon your stalwart companion, your one anchor in the turbulent seas of life! Won’t you stand and fight rather than run like a coward!?

On the other hand, y'know. This is getting weird and you have a headache and you mean its a nice wrench and all but you don’t really want to deal with this.

Alright so I've decided to sort of try going forward with the grating for now! Let me know how it looks, it's no trouble to change it back!
