THE EVENT HORIZON - DAY TWO

[inferis]

[Something during the night has activated the ship's gravity core. There seems to be no evidence as to what caused it. Everything within the ship remains stable, but the ship itself shakes violently, and deep in the bowels, a ominous rumbling sound can be heard]

[Ah ha. Haha. Nope. Not gonna happen. He doesn't step back but he doesn't step any closer, either. He simply stands his ground, watching the weird rippling water and trying to figure out how the hell any of this is possible.]

[inferis]

[That's fine, the Event Horizon has ways of making you do things her own way. The gravity is suddenly switched off, just for a second, floatig him into the air and bringing him steadily closer to the surface of the portal]

[last_rat_standing]

[Well shit. That's just not playing fair.

He stiffens for a moment as he lifts off the ground. He doesn't move right away, eyes casting around for something he could grab hold of to keep himself from touching that... thing.]

[inferis]

[Sorry, Mr. Bond. They've been expecting you.

The gravity pulls him ever closer, until his feet touch the surface, the liquid parting to make way for him.

...And then the gravity turns back on. Ouch, sorry buddy, that probably hurt]

[last_rat_standing]

Bloody h-

[The curse he'd started when his feet touched the liquid was abruptly cut off when the gravity kicked back in and he falls - that is the rest of him falls. How the hell are his feet stuck in WATER?!

His arms reach out, trying to grab hold of something - anything - to keep himself from hitting the floor... or from being absorbed into the blue glowing ball of whatever that is.]

[inferis]

[His arms do grab something, or perhaps...something grabs his arms. Regardless, his limbs are now in the 'water', and something unseen is gripping them. Tightly]

[last_rat_standing]

[... that is SO not what he was going for. Great. Just great. Not only was he trapped on another space ship with blood coating the walls but now his arms and legs are inexplicably stuck in a blue globe.

M was never going to believe this...

No matter how hopeless it might seem he still pulls against his unseen captor, trying to fight his way free.]

[inferis]

[Whatever it is that has hold of him is not letting him go. Its started to pull him closer, bringing him slowly into the portal]

[last_rat_standing]

[He sneers, fighting even harder to get free. If he could get to his knife he might be able to cut himself out... what the hell is he thinking? This is WATER how is he going to cut himself free from water? Of course, how is water pulling him in in the first place? None of this makes any lick of sense.

He grunts as he struggles against the pull - even know he instinctively knows that with quicksand the harder you fight the quicker you sink (even though quicksand wouldn't actually kill you). This was something unknown that he was completely unprepared for and unwilling to go into quietly.]

[inferis]

[And soon, it's too late for him to do anything at all, with one more violent TUG, he vanishing into the abyss]
