*The tunnel remains silent*

@Host

… Two taps for “I’m fine”?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*After a final bend of metal, the tunnel goes silent*

@Host

*Stands still in silence*
I was more comforted by the noise.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*A loud slam follows a heaving breath, then a persistent banging with a repeated splattering sound every time the object makes contact*

@Host

*Looks down at one of my open palms, staring at what can barely be seen through the skin as purple sparks of lightning, like the buildup of charge in a cloud*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Part of whatever metal is in question suddenly gives way, emitting a soft tearing sound much like slicing through an apple followed immediately by the slam of metal on metal; something drips*

@Host

*Taps one foot up and down and bites my lip*
I hope I don’t explode, here.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Little more than silence and a few creaking heaves of metal meet your question*

@Host

*Frowns and stands staring at the wall in front of me as though I were staring through it*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*About a minute after you release it, a heavy slam echoes from within the corridor, followed the strained noise of metal groaning*

@Host

Are you good?!…

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

I will. I'm safely in the center of all these.

@Host

Okay. Here it goes…
*Releases the effect on you*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

If that's necessary.

@Host

And you’ll be okay where you are? I want to be one hundred percent sure.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*After sliding, I hit the bottom with a thud*
Okay, this is the part I really need some privacy for.

@Host

You got it.
*Throws a thumbs up into the air as if you could see it*
Should I stop doing the thing, or…

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*As I go down, the energies project an aura outward that would normally react violently with my presence if not for your bubble withholding them*

@Host

That…
*Shakes my head and stands ready, in a stance ready for surprises*
