[ Things are a little strange after the spell is casts. It's dark and quiet and Harleen is sure where exactly she's going, but eventually she finds the door in the basement and passes through. Where she expects to find stairs leading up and out she finds herself in the landing above the foyer. ]
Wow! Easy and weird! [ She muses aloud only to find her voice kind of dies the moment it hits the air. Strange, but she thinks little of it as she makes her way toward the exit. She can only assume from the silence that the others have already made their way back outside.
Only when she opens the door and passes through she finds herself in what appears to be a large dining room instead of the front porch. She pauses, looks around then turns back to the door she passed through only to find a wall behind her.
Stranger still.
She doesn't stop, however. She heads for another door and passes through. This time she finds herself in a hallway. Seeing no doors immediately to either side of her she begins walking.
And walking.
And walking...
The walls feel as if they're closing in and as she walks she swears she hears whispers. She pauses, looking behind her. Darkness behind and darkness ahead. And the whispers seem to come from all around. ]
H-hello? [ She calls out again only for her voice to be swallowed up by darkness. Was that someone moving ahead of her? It could just be a trick, the dark getting to her.
And then she remembers she can make light, sort of. She tries to produce some sparks only for them to die immediately. If anything, it leaves her blinded.
It's about now she remembers that whole thing about if you're lost you should stay put until found. Maybe she can backtrack a little?
She turns and heads back toward the door she came through only to finally reach the wall and find no door.
She's been fine up until this point. Wandering, lost, but not afraid. But now, now it's another story. The hall gets smaller one way and then there's no door the other so how is she to leave? How is she to be found?
She begins banging on the wall. And then punching as if she can punch a hole through. By all rights, she should with her enhanced strength, but the wall is seems to be much stronger than anything else she's punched before now.
Before long she's left exhausted, knuckled bruised and bloody. She collapses against the wall next to where the door should be and pulls her knees up under her chin. ] I just want out...
[ Maybe the magic was a mistake? ]
❖ RECOVERY
[ She's uncharacteristically quiet once she's finally freed from the confines of the spell. She's tired, hungry, and thirsty. More so than she can ever remember being.
Once she's given something to eat and drink she absolutely devours and goes looking for more. Her movements are nothing but a shuffle due to exhaustion but she needs to fill her belly (and probably make herself sick in the process). ]
