Not sure if they were scared or just really REALLY stupid, but Claiborne just watched as no one ran to him to drink from the vile that might SAVE THEIR GODDAMN LIVES. Claiborne shouted, "Do you guys want to die? I think that the volcano can arrange that for you. But if you don't like to be touched by magma that will burn your everything into nothing, then I suggest you HURRY THE FUCK UP AND DRINK THIS." After speaking he decided that yelling at the group was not as productive as doing something so he runs to the group and hands the vile to the first person he sees, Nile. "Well, I suggest you drink this. Unless you like death, in which case I'll move on to someone else. Up to you."

Spoiler for OT:

I need written out. Chances are I will be unable to return in the near future.

Spoiler for OT:

Nae, should I wake up with Mivlya nowhere to be found? Allows you to decide what happened/will happen without a strict write-out.

Aurora backpedaled at the rumbling, going further out of the way...and watched up as the battle unfolded in the air, tails swishing softly, more curious than afraid.  Yet even as she thought to perhaps try to do something to help, even from this distance, the fight appeared to end almost as swiftly as it had begun.  The kitsune glanced to the others - apparently they panicked and started drinking something - then returned her view skyward. After a moment, she checked her watch and radioed Joey. "You okay?"


  No Man's Land en route to Kingdom of Light

A curious thing happened as the Mivlya slept. She began glowing softly, with her chosen tints of orange and white...then the world tore. A gaping rip joined across the air, the earth...a tear through reality which, through its invisible force, drew her in alone. Perhaps a natural phenomena of the world, perhaps a repercussion of the dimensional meddling which had brought her there. Once it had taken her, it promptly vanished, neither drawing nor accepting anything else.

-----------------

Out in the world from which she'd come, an anthropomorphic skunk was returned to her law office. What exactly she'd do going forward was a matter for another story. For the time being, though...she'd come through chaos and her life was her own again.

Spoiler for OOC:

Farewell, Nae. May we soon reach the day when you write with us again.

Magma Mountains

Joey heard Aurora's staticky voice from his wrist, concerned with his well being.  He turned to look roughly where he thought the rest of the group would be, and though it was difficult to see through the smoke and ash, he could almost make out where they were.  "We're fine up here.  I'd worry more about yourselves down there.  We had to deal with the explosion.  Now it's on you guys to survive the aftermath.  We're going to continue with the plan of the three of us going to the summit and meeting the rest of you at the Basin.  Please don't die."

Magma Mountain

Jane didn't know exactly what was going on. She casted a short glance on where the crimson dragon had fallen, and glided down to investigate. Had Joey killed the thing?

Coming down to get a closer look, the sight was terrifying. It's body lay, burnt to a crisp as smoke rose up to smother her face. The smell of burnt scales and flesh made her shudder. She looked up at Joey and Chip, feeling helpless. This was a dragon, and she couldn't help but feel terrible for the poor thing. But yes, it was dead...

Magma Mountains - Gravity Basin

Nile stared back at Claiborne. This was his only chance to drink it, as of Claiborne would definitely not let him drink it after refusing the first time.

He ponder this for a moment, then suddenly noticed something out of the corner of his eye. He dived to one side and saw a bright red Ash Eater crash land directly where he was standing just moments before. This was dangerous.

He had a higher chance of survival by drinking whatever Claiborne had. Nile swiftly grabbed the vial and licked a drop of the potion.

Bitter.

Light. Wind. Pain. A high pitched noise piercing through everything-- "He's waking up! Quick, grab--" His head drops back onto a surface, and everything goes quiet. Aetius knows oblivion once more.

Spoiler for OT:

Sorry I've been missing, heh. Been busy with other stuff. I do plan on re-entering at some point, but for now, we can leave my character in limbo. As for where he is? Can be retconned at a later date.

Claiborne watched as Nile took a sip of the bitter liquid. "At least someone here is worried about their life..." Knowing that the others are probably just frozen in fear and unable to move in shock, he was faced with a decision: he could A) Stay and attempt to snap the rest of them back into reality and risk the liquid's effect wearing off thus killing him or B) Leave them and convince Nile to leave them and save their own skins. This was a moral dilemma, save his life and continue the quest to leave or risk his life to save people that might not even be able to be saved. Not used to these situations Claiborne starts pacing back and forth running his hands through his dreadlocks. Claiborne has been known to have mild panic attacks when faced with major decisions. "What do we do, what do we do, what do we do? Nile... What do we do?" Trying to keep his cool Claiborne hands Nile the vile [lol that rhymes] and tells him the two options. "I'm not good with this sort of thing, I think you can make the right choice. I'm giving this to you, I will go with you no matter what choice you make. I know I'm showing some major weakness but this is just something I can't handle on my own. Sorry, but it's up to you and I will support what ever decision you make."
