The next step Eemp took sank a little into the floor. As it struggled to get its foot free, Right and Rong couldn't help but notice that the hall seemed to be...melting.
As the walls sagged and Eemp sank a little more, Right quickly stretched out in an attempt to grab the melting door to the stairs. Eemp tried to trudge its way through while Right tried to pull it out, but the door was melting in his mouth and soon, he wasn't holding on to anything. Just choking on mental slime.
They sank through the floor and fell into a black void (which seemed to be a recurring theme going on here). Right wasn't quite sure if they ever stopped falling. There didn't seem to be a ground and he felt quite weightless. But then again, he could see the others nearby and they appeared to be on the same...uh...'level'? Which wouldn't have been possible if they all started on a lower level once everything melted, right?
"Oh great," Right muttered. "This must be the 'basement.' Although I can't see why we should continue using an office metaphor when there is no more office."
"Wha-" Vasily stuttered, pinwheeling his arms around to get himself right-side-up...if there was any 'up' here. "Wha' happened?"
"Some idiot killed Joe," Right snapped back. "Now we're stuck in No Minds Land." Rong groaned heavily.
"Don' lookit me," Vasily said defensively.
"I-I didn't..." Jordan stuttered. Alex, floating next to the coward, shook his head as well.
Everybody stared at the Manikin, who seemed to be very alarmed at finding itself with no stable ground to stand on.
"Well--" Alex was cut off by a bright blast of flame that just missed the Manikin. Rong started choking, finally spitting out office slime and some spiders.
"What are you--"
"The only way to get outta here is by killing someone and since that...that stupid thing," Rong snarled, gesturing towards the panicking Manikin. "Since it got us into this mess, it's only fair that it help us get out, hmmm? Or are any of you willing to die?!" And she let out another angry burst of flame.
The spiders, meanwhile, had pedaled themselves towards a greater magical source - Alex's sword. Alex glanced down, feeling his magical reserves randomly dropping for no reason.
