… Two taps for “I’m fine”?

@Audacious

*With a heavy breath*
You can all come down now.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

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

@Audacious

*The tunnel remains silent*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by 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*

@Audacious

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

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

@Audacious

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

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

@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*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

Are you good?!…

@Audacious

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

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

@Audacious

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

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

@Audacious

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

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

@Audacious

If that's necessary.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

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

@Audacious

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