Into The Womb

[3:39:51 AM | Edited 3:40:10 AM] Omniance: [Tuesday January 27th, 3:15 AM
Tartarus]
[3:47:55 AM | Edited 3:49:08 AM] Arbi: Yuri: His living weapon shoots an ethereal arrow at the red fly across the room, it cuts it in half but instead of dying it splits into two more flies. They continue flying towards Lucas and when his bow tries to shoot another arrow it actually misses the two flies, instead killing the massive dog sized spider that wouldn't stop jumping away from Lucas's fire. Hey, behind you!
[3:49:53 AM] Omniance: Lucas: A shadowy version of him with red eyes appears from his back, facing the opposite direction, and breaths a wave of flames out at the flies, incinerating them.
[3:52:19 AM | Edited 3:53:01 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He sighs in relief. Yeah, I know you can heal but... I know these shit heads still hurt too. This dark dungeon room has four doors. When Lucas's shadow kills the last two monsters all four doors open. Every side of this room is identical and during the fight both brothers have lost their sense of direction.
[3:53:52 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He looks around, trying to think of what position the spider and other enemies were in when they entered. Why don't any items drop in here? There could at least be a shop where we could buy a map...
[3:56:02 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He looks around at each door. I haven't seen any keys or bombs drop but...I haven't seen any hearts either. Not sure I want to...
[3:57:40 AM] Omniance: Lucas: We'll just have to take a guess then. He looks at each of the doors one by one, turning around to look at the last one. It's not as if it matters since we have no idea where we're going anyway...
[4:02:07 AM | Edited 4:02:37 AM] Arbi: Yuri: Yeah... He chooses a door randomly, walking through the doorway. It leads into a room without any monsters and has two closed doorways. The majority of the room is inaccesible as there's massive pits, forcing them to take a path. The pathway to each door is riddled with little holes.
[4:04:35 AM] Omniance: Lucas: As he slowly walks the pathway to the center of the room he tries to look down into the darkness to see if there's another floor beneath them. You can' even fall in Binding of Isaac, wonder what happens if we fall into one of these.
[4:05:43 AM] Arbi: A grey face looks up at Lucas from the depths of the pit. It's mouth is open and it doesn't seem to have a body.
[4:06:28 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He takes a step back. They're some of those bouncing shop-keep heads in the pits...
[4:07:06 AM] Arbi: The face gets closer and Lucas notices it's not a man's head but a child's. It turns invisible suddenly.
[4:07:12 AM] Arbi: Yuri: Where is it? He looks down into the pit.
[4:07:42 AM] Omniance: Lucas: I don't know. It was just there, not it's gone! He turns and looks around.
[4:09:20 AM] Arbi: Lil' Haunt: He appears moving infront of Lucas and reaches out with it's tiny hands to grab him.
[4:11:08 AM] Omniance: Lucas: What the-\*He stumbles backwards, trying to make sure he doesn't fall into one of the pits. His Darksider expertly steps around him and breaths out a stream of black-grey flames at the child-like ghost.\*
[4:12:41 AM | Edited 4:13:30 AM] Arbi: Lil' Haunt: It's erratic movements allows it to move out of the way before the Darksider can even breathe in to shoot fire. It flies around him and grabs the Darksider, pushing him into the depths below.
[4:14:15 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He watches as the shadowy version of him falls with a strange, almost empty, expression. He immediately turns and breaths a larger stream of shrieking flames at the little ghost, and trying to swing the stream in an arc to hid a wider area.
[4:15:28 AM] Arbi: Lil' Haunt: He gets hit for a second but his scared expression doesn't seem to show any pain. It flies closely around Lucas, not catching on fire because it's a ghost. It appears to want to try to get behind him too to throw him off.
[4:17:15 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He holds back from summoning another Living Weapon, not wanting to accidently hit his brother and knock him off. Fuck it's fast...
[4:18:48 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He takes a gamble runs forwards, sliding under the ghost as it moves to push him. He turns and breaths another stream of fire at the small creature, hoping he can catch it off guard.
[4:21:31 AM] Arbi: Lil' Haunt: It screeches as it tries to get behind Lucas and isn't able to grab him, dying in the fire just before then.
[4:22:09 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He takes a deep breath. Hopefully two more don't show up. Because then we'll be in really big trouble...
[4:22:37 AM] Arbi: The three doorways open, the one they first came in through and the two unexplored ones ahead of them.
[4:23:17 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He stands up and dusts himself off lightly. Let's take the one on the left. He points to it.
[4:24:31 AM | Edited 4:25:50 AM] Arbi: Yuri: Watch out for the spikes... He points to the little holes in the ground near both doors. After a moment large spikes shoot up, sticking out of every hole.
[4:25:43 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He sighs. We're really getting into the more annoying levels now... He carefully walks the path towards the left door, waiting for the spikes to pop out first before trying to go through.
[4:27:22 AM | Edited 4:27:59 AM] Arbi: Yuri: This is nothing compared to The Chest. He crosses with his brother at the same time, reaching the left door with him.
[4:28:17 AM | Edited 4:31:12 AM] Omniance: Lucas: We're never going that far down. A boss fight in every room? We'd need some serious powers to get through that... He walks through the door into the next room.
[4:33:06 AM] Arbi: The next room is filled with large rocks and another two doorways. Both of them are open, meaning for sure there isn't any monsters here. The one on the right is a normal doorway but the one straight ahead is different from any other they've seen before. It has spikes on the frame of the door pointing inward. There's also visible blood on the door itself.
[4:34:19 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He looks at the door for a moment. That's a Cursed Room isn't it?
[4:35:50 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He walks passed the rocks and up to the strange door. Yeah... There's usually a chest on the other side. The only problem is the spikes, it'll hurt just walking inside.
[4:36:22 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He sighs, knowing where this will probably lead. Do we want to know what's inside?
[4:37:29 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He just looks at the spikes. I don't think it's worth it...
[4:38:47 AM] Omniance: Lucas: I could walk through... It'd just be... Painful... I don't really know what would be in the chest. We haven't seen any room with items in it, other than the... "Devil" room.
[4:41:32 AM] Arbi: Yuri: We could both walk through it without losing health.
[4:42:08 AM] Omniance: Lucas: ...Huh? How? He looks away from the door and turns to look at his brother.
[4:42:40 AM] Arbi: Yuri: Ceremonial robes. He looks back at his brother.
[4:43:21 AM] Omniance: Lucas: So I'd still take agonizing pain...
[4:44:12 AM] Arbi: A sound comes from the Cursed doorway, it sounds like electricity and doesn't echo. The sound goes silent after a second.
[4:44:40 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He looks at the door. You hear that?
[4:45:56 AM] Arbi: The noise is heard again but this time the door shakes with it. The door almost seems to shift a few inches to the left and then the right before appearing in place again normally. The spikes are gone.
[4:46:25 AM] Omniance: Lucas: What the hell is happening?
[4:48:13 AM | Edited 4:50:46 AM] Arbi: Yuri: I don't know... I've never seen this before in the game. He looks at where the spikes were on the door but something else catches his eyes. The darkness inside the doorway seems to slowly vanish, revealing the other side of the room. Something that never happens without help from certain items from the game.
[4:48:27 AM] Arbi: It's an almost empty room with a red chest in the middle.
[4:48:49 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He crosses his arms over his chest. This seems like a trap.
[4:49:31 AM | Edited 4:49:42 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He nods. What do you think we should do?
[4:50:51 AM] Omniance: Lucas: Red chests are always just full of those damn spiders anyway...
[4:51:42 AM] Arbi: Yuri: At least it's not the big spiders... Those things never stop jumping around.
[4:52:14 AM | Edited 4:53:23 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He sighs. Well do we want to risk it for a chest that might not have anything inside?
[4:53:06 AM] Arbi: Yuri: It's the first one we've seen. If we find anymore and don't check what's inside... We might be missing out.
[4:53:49 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He shakes his head. Yeah...
[4:55:02 AM | Edited 4:55:14 AM] Arbi: Yuri: You go in first... If the spikes are actually invisible I don't want to get hurt.
[4:55:42 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He grumbles. Like I want to get hurt... He starts walking towards the door hesitantly.
[4:57:13 AM] Arbi: Lucas walks through the doorway but nothing hurts him as he passes it into the next room.
[4:57:37 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He looks around, then back through the door to Yuri. Seems to be fine.
[4:58:13 AM | Edited 4:58:48 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He follows him into the room, a little hesistant at first but just like his brother he isn't hurt either. What the hell happened to the spikes? He looks back at the door.
[4:59:17 AM] Omniance: Lucas: I'm actually more worried that there's no spikes... He walks forwards into the room, looking around. We don't exactly get things handed to us for free here...
[5:02:55 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He looks down at the red chest in the middle of the room. I can't use any weapons without any monsters around... maybe I should open it and you just stay back, ready to breathe fire just incase there are monsters inside.
[5:04:12 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He takes a deep breath, standing ready as a silent reply.
[5:04:47 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He sees his brother is ready and he walks toward up to the chest.
[5:05:17 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He reaches out and grabs the chest, opening it.
[5:05:47 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He watches in silent anticipation, holding his breath.
[5:13:17 AM] Arbi: The loud sound from before is heard coming from the chest. Both brothers are suddenly teleported out of the room. Everything goes dark until they find themselves somewhere else. This place is nothing like they've seen before. This isn't a normal room. A dark vast expanse has replaced the dungeon walls, leaving just a hovering platform in a dark abyss. The few rocks on the floor appear to be vanishing and appearing somewhere else only to appear back where they were before like a broken game. There's a closed trapdoor in the middle of the room with nothing else.
[5:14:15 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He lets out his breath with a puff of smoke. What the hell is this place?!
[5:19:04 AM | Edited 5:19:33 AM] Arbi: Yuri: It looks like the Dark Room but... the floor isn't made of dark stone. There's also supposed to be dark purple clouds around the room, not darkness. He closes his hands into a fists. Do you see any monsters?
[5:20:19 AM] Omniance: Lucas: This place looks more like when that Turbo Time racing game got corrupted. It's like we're standing in a video game error.
[5:24:02 AM] Arbi: The brothers suddenly hear faint breathing coming from behind the trapdoor. There's a man sitting there suddenly. He lets out of a long sigh that doesn't synch up together, making two sighs.
[5:25:39 AM] Omniance: Lucas: His gaze immediately snaps to the man. The hell?
[5:26:57 AM] Arbi: The man has black hair with a beard and isn't moving. He looks like he's dead but is somehow stuck with an expression of sadness with an open wide mouth. His skin is dead and he has no eyes. He talks loudly, his mouth not moving at all. I AM ERROR.
[5:27:27 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He takes a few steps back. ...I don't like this.
[5:30:02 AM] Arbi: The man keeps breathing even though he doesn't move.

Yuri: He looks like the shopkeepers... but he's wearing clothes and has hair.
[5:31:42 AM] Arbi: The man talks loudly again, his voice sounds distant even though he's only across the room. I AM ERROR.
[5:32:58 AM] Omniance: Lucas: Should we... Kill him? He looks like he's in a lot of... Pain... maybe? I don't trust him... It.
[5:34:09 AM] Arbi: Yuri: Let me check... He keeps his eyes on the dead man as he walks up to the trapdoor. It's unlocked, allowing him to open it.
[5:37:41 AM] Arbi: The dead man doesn't move even when Yuri opens the trapdoor but they never hear him stop saying the same phrase. "I AM ERROR"
[5:38:15 AM] Omniance: Lucas: Think it leads to the next level down? He looks over at the man while walking up next to his brother to look down into the trapdoor.
[5:38:53 AM] Arbi: Yuri: I can't see what's down there... He looks around the room one more time, not seeing any doors. I don't think we have a choice.
[5:39:25 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He looks around and sighs, then just jumps through without further warning.
[5:40:08 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He jumps down after his brother. The trapdoor closes on its own, the voice of the dead man going silent.
[5:41:50 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He lands down on hard yet squishy floor. He looks down, seeing that the floor is made out what looks like skinless meat. This... is not good.
[5:43:14 AM | Edited 5:44:38 AM] Omniance: Lucas: We better not be where I think we are. He lifts one of his feet and looks at the bottom, blood goo covering it. ...I hope we aren't where I think we are. He looks to his broher.
[5:46:11 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He looks around, it isn't just the floor that is made out of meat but the walls as well. Everything is bloody, there isn't a single spot that has no red on it. He feels a little sick to his stomach, even though he's seen this place plenty of times at the arcade there's something extremely disturbing about seeing it in person.
[5:47:49 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He sighs. How the hell did we get down this far? Was the last level an XL floor too? His face looks a bit pale-green as he looks around, but the bright red of the room hides it for the most part.
[5:49:20 AM] Arbi: This room has four doorways in four different directions.
[5:50:30 AM | Edited 5:52:19 AM] Arbi: Yuri: It doesn't matter how we got down here. I'm fucked. You can heal... If I get hurt I'll wake up with the injury.
[5:52:55 AM] Omniance: Lucas: Because everything from the Womb-onwards does double damage. How am I supposed to heal from an enemy that's strong enough to just rip off my head or something? He takes a deep breath, and breaths out a long stream of smoke. Plus this place is disgusting. If I had any food in my stomach I think I'd be vomiting.
[5:54:27 AM] Arbi: Yuri: Let's try one room... If it's too hard for us we'll just wake up. Simple as that.
[5:55:22 AM] Omniance: Lucas: Alright. Then we're tearing through this place. I want to get the hell out of here as fast as we can... His Darksider appears beside him. Pick a door I guess.
[5:55:45 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He walks towards the door on the right.
[5:56:32 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He turns and follows after him, the Darksider following him. This place smells bad too...
[5:58:29 AM] Arbi: Both brothers walk through into the next room. As they quickly look around to find any monsters in this dangerous area they're met with nothing but chunks of meat, bones and blood in the room. The two doorways are already open as well.
[5:59:48 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He walks up to the chunks of bloody meat on the floor. What? Everything's dead already...
[6:01:23 AM] Omniance: Lucas: Maybe there's someone else down here? ...Or something else...
[6:02:10 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He crosses his arms, unsure of what to make of the situation. You pick a door this time... Don't drop your guard either, it might just be this room...
[6:03:40 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He just starts walking towards the door he was already facing. Are there any enemies that kill other enemies? Something that uses bombs maybe? His Darksider seems to wait between them, looking back at Yuri with a blank expression.
[6:05:10 AM] Arbi: Yuri: Yeah but they don't kill each other on purpose, they would try to explode to kill one of us.
[6:06:10 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He turns and looks through the door. Maybe we're just not supposed to be down this far yet... He continues through the door. His Darksider turning and running after him.
[6:07:09 AM] Arbi: For the next eight rooms the Twins walk through cleared room. They never find any monsters, only their remains.
[6:09:13 AM] Omniance: Lucas: I don't get it. He motions around the room. Ten rooms in a row, nothing but bloodied chunks. He's gotten a bit more used to the disgusting surroundings. Now he seems more freaked out by the lack of enemies than the grossness of their surroundings.
[6:11:46 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He's gotten used to just running through the rooms now and is determined to find out what happened. He enters another room, there are broken bones all over the floor. One of the bone hands is holding a bone club. The Boss room is directly ahead of him now. What the fuck...
[6:14:34 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He follows his brother in after a moment. His Darksider trailing after him slowly. He looks around and then sees the boos room. ...Think the boss is dead too?
[6:15:30 AM] Arbi: Yuri: It's closed. He turns to look back at his brother.
[6:16:08 AM] Omniance: Lucas: So there's something in here? He looks one way and his Darksider looks another.
[6:16:37 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He shakes his head, the doorway they came from still open.
[6:17:14 AM] Omniance: Lucas: So we're trapped? This was just a waste of time... Well since we're sleeping I guess it wasn't, but... You know what I mean.
[6:18:55 AM | Edited 6:19:26 AM] Arbi: The room shakes slightly, the sound of liquid splattering and hitting the other side of the wall can be heard.
[6:19:31 AM | Edited 6:19:53 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He turns to look at the wall it came from. Looks like it's in the next room over... Or sounds I guess.
[6:22:01 AM | Edited 6:22:40 AM] Arbi: Yuri: It's coming from the boss room. That means whatever's killing these monsters is inside the boss room now. He walks up to the boss room door, staring at it.
[6:23:20 AM] Omniance: Lucas: ...Any way we could pry the door open or something? If we wait too long whatever it is might escape down to the next floor...
[6:24:19 AM] Arbi: Yuri: Bombs can open normal doors but this is a boss door. It's probably indestructible... We'd need to teleport inside.
[6:25:10 AM] Omniance: Lucas: The Emperor. A card? But there's no items anywhere... So there's no way in. We'll have to rush through as soon as it opens.
[6:26:29 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He nods and gets ready to run in when it opens. There are still sounds of fighting going on the other side.
[6:28:19 AM] Omniance: Lucas: I have a weird feeling about this entire situation...
[6:28:39 AM] Arbi: The door suddenly opens.
[6:29:18 AM] Arbi: Yuri: Go! He runs into the boss room, ready to fight whatever he finds inside.
[6:30:12 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He runs in after his brother, fast enough that he almost steps on the backs of Yuri's shoes. The Darksider runs in after them.
[6:33:11 AM] Arbi: The twins are met with the sight of the biggest monster they've ever seen in this dungeon. It's a monster so big that her head alone takes up 1/4 of the room. Her face looks like it's in terrible pain before she explodes in blood, guts and pieces of bone. All of it falls down onto the already bloody dungeon floor.
[6:35:25 AM] Omniance: Lucas: Fuck that's disgusting! He jumps backwards to make sure he doesn't get splattered with gore. The Darksider runs ahead of the two of them, not caring.
[6:46:36 AM] Arbi: As the waves of guts settle on the right side of the room the twins see someone else. To their surprise it's not a monster or demon but a guy. The guy looks to be about their age, has red hair and is wearing a red and white jacket. It's too far away to read but the twins are able to see that it's a highschool jacket of some kind. He doesn't seem to notice them as a loud holy sounds fills the room and a heavenly door opens. The guy enters through the white doorway, the twins lose sight of him as a bright light makes it impossible to see past the doorway.
[6:47:45 AM] Omniance: Lucas: Angel room! He runs after the guy without much hesitation, not even giving his brother a chance to say anything.
[6:48:46 AM] Arbi: Yuri: ...Who was that? He sees his brother run ahead of him. He quickly runs after him trying to catch up.
[6:49:46 AM] Omniance: Lucas: I don't know! We have to catch him! The Darksider seems to follow after them slowly, like he doesn't want to go into the room.
[6:54:08 AM] Arbi: A massive hole in the meaty ground suddenly opens up infront of Lucas. Unfortunately It doesn't matter what he tries to do now, by the time he sees it he's already too close to it. He falls inside.

He lands in the next floor of The Womb.
[6:55:46 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He lands on the floor with a wet thud, and then looks up at the ceiling above. Fuck! He slams his foot on the ground. I should've know that was going to happen... Fuck fuck... Damn it!
[6:59:02 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He watches the Darksider jumps down after Lucas. Lucas! He looks away from the hole toward the angel room, still wanting to see who's inside but the gapping hole catches his eyes. It begins to close. Are you fucking serious?! He jumps down before he's seperated from his brother.
[6:59:51 AM | Edited 7:00:13 AM] Arbi: Yuri lands beside Lucas and the Darksider.
[7:00:26 AM] Omniance: As Yuri lands he notices that one of the walls is completely on fire.

Lucas: I can't believe I just did that.
[7:01:21 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He looks at the wall covered in flames, a disturbing cooked smell coming from it. Jesus...
[7:02:17 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He sighs loudly. ...Well now what?
[7:03:55 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He shakes his head slowly. I'm not fighting Mom's heart... We haven't even fought Mom yet.
[7:04:37 AM] Omniance: Lucas: Well what happens now? We wake up, every time we come back here we'll be in Womb II right?
[7:05:23 AM] Arbi: Yuri: That's what happened before. Let's get out of here...
[7:06:43 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He sighs. So we're stuck about four levels beyond where we're supposed to be. We missed the damn Angel Room, which I REALLY wanted to see, AND we don't know who cleaned out our dungeon... He crosses his arms over his chest. What school has red and white colors?
[7:08:45 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He opens his eyes, waking up before he responds. His voice sounds a little tired as he just woke up. ...I've never been to a football game. I wouldn't know.
[7:10:07 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He's already sitting on the edge of his bed, rubbing his forehead. We'll have to ask someone at school. Leo should know, he plays Baseball, and he played football the first half of the school year.
[7:11:53 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He looks at the clock seeing it's 7am. We might be able to ask him on the way to school.
[7:16:06 AM] Omniance: Lucas: We'll offer to give him a ride to school! He jumps off his bed and runs into the bathroom, the sound of the shower turning on. After a moment he runs back out wearing only his boxers, having forgotten to get his clothes. Rodin watches Lucas run to the closet, pull a bunch of clothing off of the hangers and then run back into the bathroom. The dog lets out a slight groan and just looks at Yuri.
[7:18:32 AM | Edited 7:19:21 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He pats Rodin on the head. I know, right? I haven't seen him this excited since Mandy called that one time. He stretches his arms out, taking his time to walk up to his closet to get changed without taking a shower.
