closed to yugi and lena.

[puzzlers]

Who: Yugi puzzlers & Lena outofyourshadow.
When: Early April.
Where: ~*~somewhere suspicious, apparently!~*~
What: The Experiment Adventure.

...! [ ok, uhm, what the heck indeed. walking through walls is not normal, so yugi immediately exchanges a glance with lena before approaching the area. he's careful at first, because had that been some sort of an illusion? but as his hand grazes the wall he realizes it's not actually a wall. immediately he reels back, looking suspiciously from his hand to the wall, as if not quite believing his eyes. ] This is... [ a secret passage? he feels a bit of excitement bubble up, because they've totally stumbled upon something really cool, but why that student knew about this and why he was here is another story entirely. ] I think we should follow. [ because something about this doesn't seem kosher. ]

[Unfortunately, Yugi doesn't get very far before he runs into another student who was entering the hidden passage. Stunned at first, the student then calls out.]

Intruders! We have intruders!

[The chanting down below comes to a sudden stop, then it's followed by a clamor as the rest of them start racing up as the student seals the passage way to prevent them from escaping.]

[puzzlers]

[ yugi is positively stunned, his eyes widening when he nearly runs into the newcomer. well this isn’t good. if only he hadn’t spent so much time dilly dallying. he takes his wand out, but the student is clearly more practiced, so he immediately disarms him. by that time there are even more footsteps resounding in the right passageway and several students have joined their friend to surround them. ]

What have we got here? Some fresh meat? [ he cackles, the others doing the same as, all of a sudden, they’re conjuring chains to bind each and every one of them. ] This might not be so bad. The great beast is going to be hungry, you know. Bring them to the sundering circle!

W- What?

[outofyourshadow]

Oh no...

[The thought of being sacrificed brought images of a certain sorceress flash through her mind, and in a panic she whips out her wand, firing a spell at the person in front of Yugi before firing at some of the students coming up the stairs. It's mostly desperation, and she doesn't have as much control of the magic as she wishes she does.]

[puzzlers]

[ the students turn on lena and use the very same magic they used on yugi on her, disarming her if they can then conjuring chains to bind the two of them together. ]

You efforts are futile. Submit and stop wasting our time.

[outofyourshadow]

[She's disarmed pretty easily, and all too soon she's chained up with Yugi. Still she struggles, glaring at the other students.]

Are you all out of your minds?

[puzzlers]

[ yugi looks around, but doesn’t see his familiar anywhere, and he’s not exactly in a rush to get peregrin involved, because there’s a good chance he’ll be hurt again. he frowns, his mind racing with something they can do, but there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot. ]

You don’t need to do this. It’s not worth it! You’re going to hurt us and yourselves and... [ his head drops and he screws his eyes shut tightly, fists balled and shaking. ] Lena, I’m so sorry.

[outofyourshadow]

[She pauses in her struggling a bit to glance back at him.]

Hey, it's not your fault that these people are crazy.

[Said loudly with a glare at their captors.]

[puzzlers]

[ she's not really wrong, but he also doesn't think calling them out on it is going to get them out of this situation. he hands his head, closing his eyes. this is bad and he can't think of anything to say or do... and this is all his fault... ]

[outofyourshadow]

[Probably not, but it makes her feel a bit better, at least.

Though when she does feel him go a bit slack, she glances back at him.]

You better not be giving up on me.

[puzzlers]

I'm not, I... I just don't know what we should do. Maybe this spell of theirs won't work. They're just students. They can't seriously have a thorough understanding of this. [ so worst comes to worst they see colors or visions of home again, like the research... ]
