"Maybe . . ." he muttered.

After a moment of debating, he clambered through the tree to the lower branches and held out his hands for the jar.

 

I'm fine idk

*hug*

She handed it to him.

But what if it's not? 

"Yes. Bad. I know."

She eyed the corpse.

. . . Good point.

She handed it to him.

*hug*

He snatched it and quickly hopped up to the infected branch. He spread some of the goop on it, then closed the jar.

"There. I hope this works . . ."

*squeezes*

. . . Good point.

"Ah... yeah." 

[Through The Living Glass She/They]

Just now, Halcyon The Only said:

"Ah... yeah." 

She nodded and headed back towards the exit-

But there was only a smooth stone wall.

Uh-

She looked around some more.

The bones were gone, too.

What in the world?

A chill ran down his spine. "Tam. Tam! We gotta go!"

Wait, no, look!

Her flashlight was pointed at the exit- but it was in a different place than it'd been before. The bone pile was right next to it.

When she took her flashlight off, it disappeared again and reappeared in a different spot.

They're just . . . moving. That's really cool! she said excitedly.

Whoa, Bat, relax, it's fine! Nothing's gonna kill us. Here, if it makes you feel better-

She looked around for the giant corpse, which had disappeared again.

It was in the same position when her light found it, and it disintegrated to ash.

There. Better?

She gave him a hug.

It's fine . . .

It's fine . . .

He hugged her tightly. I... I dunno. I don't want you to get hurt.

He narrowed his eyes at the darkness.

She squeezed him tightly.

It's okay, Bat. Neither of us are going to get hurt.

She let go and looked for the entrance again.

Let's just go explore a little.

It seemed pretty okay. It was a big building, covered in pipes and other random cool looking gray things. It looked very dead. 

The scientist jumped off the vehicle and moved to the front doors, punching the code into the keypad. 

Rebus stepped off his vehicle, running a scan of the area so he could find the power line. “So how do you generate power, down here?”

"Mostly fossil fuels and the like." She pointed to a large thing with buttons on the side. "That's one of our units. The green button turns it on, once the key's in it."

He followed quickly.

[Through The Living Glass She/They]

Just now, Halcyon The Only said:

He followed quickly.

The tunnel led to a completely different cavern. This one was filled with ominous white-and-red glowling crystals.

Oo.

She inspected and walked among the crystals.

Pretty.

Bat thought it was ominous. But he kept his mouth closed so she could enjoy it.
