"It's-"
[b]A huge tentacle erupts from the ground and rushes at you, but slows to a near stop. When you attempt to react, your movements are just as slow. You notice Providence had drawn his sword.[/b]
"I hope it's kicked in by now... Jack? You in there?"
[b]He is moving normal speed, and talking to you.[/b]
"So? Chop the tentacle off i guess."
[b]He chops through the tentacle, but it doesn't break, just leaves a frozen hologram in the chopping motion.[/b]
"Wait wait wait..."
[b]The hologram disappears and he motions shoving you aside, leaving a hologram doing that instead, then leaves a hologram to chop the tentacle.[/b]
"Okay... This should work."
[b]Time seems to jump as he jumps from point to point at lightening speed, performing the two actions shown by the holograms in order.[/b]
[b]You are shoved to the side and the tentacle is cut. Time returns to normal.[/b]

[b]He looks around, at the tentacle, province then himself.[/b] "What in the hell?"
-
"Did it work?"
-
"Yeah, I think so."
-
"Yeah my sword allows me to... How can I put it... Plan my actions. Takes a while to charge back up though. The injection will let you see me when I use it."
-
"Why did you want me to see it though?"
-
"Tactical advantage. Think about it, though you can't do anything during the time slow, I can tell you an elaborate plan in the blink of an eye. Much more useful against humans or in negotiations, but still useful down here."
-
"Ahh I see now. Makes sense."
-
"Anyway, I'd like to go before whatever that tentacle belonged to comes back."
-
[b]He starts walking.[/b] "I think i know where that damn thing came from."
-
[b]He follows.[/b] "Really? Enlighten me."
-
"The trials of water before I got here. I fought this really really big saw monster. I think it was kraken or something."

-
"I hope not. I burnt the beast but not really sure if I killers it or not."
-
"Well if that was anything like a kraken I'd rather not find out."
-
"Yeah, let's just keep moving. I don't feel like being anyone's food."

Edited by Murph Tha Smurf: 9/27/2015 9:08:59 PM[b]The path slants downward as the two walk.[/b] "Dammit... I hope there's a way out of here... From what I know there is only one real path to the core."
-
"Damn, maybe I can teleport."
-
"Perhaps you can. But don't do it. You'll need it later."
-
"Yeah, I'll use it when I need to."
-
"Be careful. The first few times, it'll work without a hitch, but soon... This place... It- it learns you. Counters you."
-
"Wait, what? This place studies us and uses it against us?"
-
"That's a good way to put it."
-
"What the hell.."
-
"I wish I could've told you all sooner. I didn't realize I'd forgotten about that... this damned amnesia..."
-
"I'm sure we can hold our own. Even through the darkest of times, we find the light of hope."
