The creature didn't take too kindly to getting set on fire, an unholy shriek emanating from within the well. It writhed and desperately tried to pull back from Noriaki to no avail, the flames burning through the darkness. At some point, it began to decay, its stringy tendrils pulling and yanking until it broke off, the hand pinned by Noriaki reduced to ashes.

Mira swung her sword as a hand made a bold attempt, though she heard both Genki and Yori's comments. [color=lightblue]"You're doing fine so far, though, aren't you?"[/color] She cheerfully pointed out. 

As Khepri pulled on the hand, it resisted greatly and used the other hands to prevent itself from getting dragged out. The action did at least cause it to stop attacking the others as it used the rest of its arms to cling to the well. Despite its numerous appendages, however, it was clearly struggling to stay inside. Khepri's efforts would pay off as a massive black blob was pulled out, though it made every effort possible to get back into the well.

[color=lightblue]"Like pulling a hermit crab from its shell,"[/color] Mira mused, twirling her sword. [color=lightblue]"Alright, then! Here I go!"[/color]

Dashing forward, Mira chose to dive right in, leaping forward and into the well. After a few seconds, however, she met something solid. It was a lot more shallow than she thought, the exit just above her. Changing her grip, she knelt down as she held her sword with both hands, plunging it into the darkness below her. No sound was made, though she noticed that her sword was slowly starting to sink in.

[color=lightblue]"Uh oh,"[/color] She gasped, letting go of her weapon as the creature shook. She let out a yell as it surged upwards, stretching itself up and out of the well entirely. Its form was nothing solid and resembled a soft putty, oozing on the ground like toothpaste out of a tube. Falling to her knees from the movement, Mira realized she needed to get away, only to find herself stuck. 

[color=lightblue]"Ah...hm, this isn't good,"[/color] She muttered, though she raised her voice as she continued. [color=lightblue]"Well, it's out now, but don't let it get you or you'll get stuck!"[/color] She called as it sprouted more hands. She was surprised to see Khepri unaffected by it, although she wasn't sure why that was the case.
