[JUST WATCHES URUHA GET STABBED I GUESS but he'll also translate for the bunny:]
They say thank you-- Are you alright?! I can fetch the bandages--
[FROM THEIR KIT but also he is concerned about this squeaking that's getting closer so he'll stand by the board for now, though he's ready to run over and help Uruha if he seems to need it.]
I apologize - I must have placed the tiles wrong the first time. [TO THE TWO ON THE OTHER SIDE.] Let's see...
[He'll move the tile he believes Neverah described and look to Uruha.]
The other one on the bottom again...?
[Which he'll leave to Uruha unless he disagrees or place himself if needed if he agrees. Also after the fucking SPIKES he's going to go pick Yves up again GOD. He will take the rabbit as well if Uruha cannot carry it anymore but also do what he can to treat Uruha's NEW STAB with whatever's left in their medkit if needed. HELLO!!!!!]
[uruha just lets out a strangled noise because THIS AMPLIFIED PAIN THING IS REALLY FUCKING HIM OVER. he's just going to lie on the ground for a moment on his back, holding this rabbit. owowowow.
but once the girls start giving instructions again, he stiffly gets up to head back to the symbols and take a look.]
Maomao's should be the left one in the middle row.
[unwilling to risk the possibility of another trap that will try to kill them all, he is now carrying the rabbit with his non-impaled arm that is probably now bleeding out. so yeah please place the symbol for him lucas and then medkit time unless we're wrong and punishment time interrupts this instead.]
That means you can take your time with healing while the third symbol flashes for the girls. The bunny cuddles with Uruha who is now his new second favorite person (sorry lucas stays first because he can talk)
Ominous squeaking continues to get closer, but there's also the sound of something dragging itself through some vents for the girls. Hmmm. ]
[listening to them talking about bandages and a little bit more firmly:]
Are you both alright? What about Taair?
[taair who everyone definitely knows and acknowledges is in the room with the other boys ANYWAYS,]
In the top middle of the box, there's what looks like a screw. To each side at the very top edge of that screw, there's a little dot, and towards the bottom of the screw, there's a slanted line moving outwards from the screw. Right below those slanted lines is a circle on each side, and between the circle is a straight line.
I'm alright, but Uruha has been hit. I'm tending to his injuries.
[Just to let them know what's going on as he works. HE'LL HELP WITH THAT and then go to move the tiles again. URUHA IS TRULY GOING THROUGH IT THIS IS SO FUCKING FUNNY.]
[vaguely wondering why the hell EVERYONE KEEPS SEEING AND HEARING DIFFERENT THINGS THEY'RE ALL LOSING THEIR GRIP ON THEIR REALITY but everything hurts so he can't think too deeply on it.
ANYWAY AS THEY ARE CORRECT NEW THINGS ARE FLASHING BLABLABLA
the important thing here is taair, who is definitely here, except no one can see him because the only taair visible is yves right now. and/or koharu's legs. and zhongli's legs.
you know what she can unpack that later it's time for more shapes]
Three objects in a similar arrangement to what Maomao said were rice balls, but it isn't the same symbol. All three are nearly circular except for an indent towards the top of each, and the indent leads into a line that bisects each of the three. Towards the top left of the box there are two dots, and towards the top right there's a dash above a dot.
If needed, we can help tend to Uruha once this is over.
[FUCKING HELP. THEY'RE ALL JUST LIKE WELP DON'T HAVE TIME TO UNPACK ANY OF THAT. Valid.]
Thank you, Neverah. [And then, to Maomao:] The squeaking? [Just assumes they're both hearing the same thing CAN HE EVEN HEAR THE VENT RATTLING THROUGH A WALKIE TALKIE.
But he will go ahead and move both of these tiles, too.]
[HE'S FINE HE'S JUST IN PAIN AND SEMI-PARALYZED BUT HE'S GOT THIS unfortunately the paranoia is making him more inclined to be irrationally independent... (as lucas does all the work)]
[ YOU GUYS ARE DOING SO WELL IT'S ACTUALLY SAD STOP SUCCEEDING
anyway new flashing. nothing else happens. the squeaking and rattling are both not loud enough to be heard over the walkie-talkie, because walkie-talkies are Shite for that, but they are getting louder and closer. SLOWLY!!! ]
The next shape I see is... There's a small rectangle towards the top of the box, and it's connected to a larger shape that balloons out towards the bottom. Inside the larger shape is a circle, and a line right above that circle. Towards the upper right and left of the box outside of the shape I just described, there are two dashes on each side.
[ it's nothing guys don't worry about the rats you just got another tile correct! wow they are starting to flash faster though. the girls can see two in a row now.
anyway it can't be rats because rats don't sound like this and THAT'S the closest sound to them so???? ignore the way the bunny is perked up ears straight as it looks towards the trees in concern.
as for the girls this echoing in the vents immediately also isn't a rat noise so it's CLEARLY fine. ]
[she is glad for presumably no rats and less glad for literally anything else happening here so that's cool]
Prepare yourselves for a fight just in case, but ideally we'll be able to make it through before they get to you. And before whatever that is gets to us.
[a brief pause of surprise, before:]
I see two different symbols this time. The first is very clearly a person - different rectangles for their head and torso, and lines for their legs, feet, arms and hands. The second one looks like a person as well, but it's not as clear as the first. The head is a solid square, the torso is more round, and there are two straight lines for legs without any lines indicating feet. On all four corners on the inside of the box, there's a small dot. Inside the torso is a horizontal straight line.
[ she really doesn't like whatever that sound is. making sure she has the plasma gun out ]
I see two of them as well. The first one is a repeat. It's the one that looks like it has three rice balls. The second one looks phallic- ah. I think Neverah described it before as well. The rectangle at the top of the box that is connected to a larger shape that balloons out.
[HELLO. He's also getting his knife back out even though he has a whole Yves on his back, but he's looking toward Uruha and the rabbit who is looking toward the trees so he's also looking toward the trees like UH OH SISTERS.]
Alright, let's see...
[He goes to move the tiles... No one is distracting Lucas but i'll be the change i want to see in the world and say that as he's going to place the last tile, Yves kind of slips a bit and in his reflexive attempt to stop him from falling off his back and hitting the ground with his severely injured body, he drops the tile in the top row instead of the bottom.]
[i support you aki while uruha watches this in alarm and thinks about how he really shouldn't have left lucas to do this and should've just moved these tiles with his stabbed arm hand instead]
[ WHAT TIMING FOR AKI TO VOTE FOR CHAOS BECAUSE I, ALSO, HAD PUT IN A TIMER FOR CHAOS FOR THIS EXACT ROUND
So, first of all, X WRONG THE GROUND IS SHAKING EVEN MORE NOW imagine i made them start all over again. no only the wrong tiles are moving back in place. The girls' growing abandonment now is starting to feel like betrayal. They can join Uruha in his hell.
This time, it's not spikes coming out of the ground for the boys. It's rocks. Rocks are falling from the top of the mountain like an avalanche, raining down on them. Multiple large boulders the size of small boulders or however that went. roll to dodge but at least you're already carrying the bunny and body so I don't have to
For the girls, well, nature isn't what you have to worry about. Because instead there are now saw blades coming out of the walls and being shot at them because the arrows were simply not cool enough. roll to dodge !!!
ANYWAY ON TOP OF ALL OF THAT BECAUSE LIKE I SAID I PUT IN A TIMER. A WHILE BACK.
The definitely rats are here, crawling out of the mountain. Maybe they came from the mines. Maybe they came from the trees. I've lost track of what this mountain path looks like. The point is, they are going to be trying to eat you now.
MEANWHILE, the girls might be wishing the saw blades came out on the next turn, because right after they have to dodge those there's a flesh monster falling down from the vents. i'd link a pic but i've since lost mine you guys get it. it's fleshy. it has eyes. it has a tongue it is coming at you with. etc. ]
[normally she would not sound as upset about this but for some reason it distinctly feels like lucas (and also uruha because she cannot actually see that uruha did nothing wrong) messed up as a form of betrayal? much to consider.
either way she's trying to dodge the saw blades and rolls an eight so she's absolutely not dodging the saw blades gooby. it would be nice if she had five seconds to deal with whatever saw wound zia will decree but instead there's a flESH MONSTER SURE]
no subject
[ or oiling? what? anyways... ]
It looks like a face of some kind. There's two eyes, a dash as a nose, and a sideways 'd' for a mouth that isn't happy.
no subject

Correct!
No one is being punished. Yaaay.

Was Taair with them?
[ anyways... ]
This one is a repeat. Neverah described it as one with a checkerboard on top of the shape.
no subject
[ALSO BAFFLED.]
I'm alright, but Uruha has been hit. I'm tending to his injuries.
