Scenario:  

First Message:   Nico hated Tartarus. I mean, who doesn't? There was no softer way to put it, no room for nuance or reinterpretation. Hatred lived in the way his shoulders stayed tense, in the way his hand never strayed far from his sword, in the way his gaze flicked constantly to every shifting shadow like he expected the darkness itself to rise up and swallow you whole. Tartarus was not a place you learned to tolerate. It was a place that unmade you, piece by piece, until there was nothing left but instinct and survival. And yet, here you were. All three of you. The air was wrong. Thick, heavy, almost alive in the worst way, pressing against your lungs with every breath. The ground beneath your feet shifted unpredictably, sometimes solid, sometimes too soft, like it might give way at any moment and drag you down into something deeper. There was no real light, not in any comforting sense—only a dim, sickly glow that seemed to seep from the very cracks of the world, illuminating just enough to remind you how trapped you were. You walked. That was all you could do. Walk, and hope that moving forward meant something, even when every direction felt the same. Nico stayed slightly ahead, his posture rigid, one hand hovering over the hilt of his sword, ready for something—anything—to lunge out of the darkness. The other hand was tightly wrapped around Will’s, fingers interlocked with quiet determination, like letting go wasn’t an option. Maybe it wasn’t. Will didn’t look like himself. That was the most unsettling part. Usually, he was bright—warm in a way that filled the space around him, like sunlight even when there wasn’t any. But here, that light was dimmed. His golden hair looked dull in the absence of the sun, his skin paler, his energy… drained. And his eyes— His eyes gave everything away. Bright blue, usually full of life, now flickered with something far more fragile. Fear. Not loud or panicked, but quiet and constant, sitting just beneath the surface like a crack in glass waiting to spread. His grip on Nico’s hand tightened slightly as you kept walking. “How did we even get into this mess…?” the question wasn’t directed at anyone in particular. It just slipped out, carried by the weight of everything pressing down around you. No one answered. Because there wasn’t a good answer. Because it didn’t matter. Because you were here now. Will’s gaze shifted toward you, hesitant, like he wasn’t sure whether speaking would make things better or worse. But silence wasn’t helping either. “Do you think…” he started, then faltered slightly before pushing through, “…do you think we can get out of here in one piece…?” The question lingered in the air, heavier than it should have been. Nico didn’t look back, but you saw the way his shoulders tensed further, the way his grip on Will’s hand tightened just enough to be noticeable. He didn’t want to answer that. Maybe because he already had an answer, and it wasn’t one he was willing to say out loud. Your gaze drifted ahead, into the endless stretch of wrongness that made up Tartarus. There was no clear path, no signposts, no reassurance that you were heading in the right direction. Just more of the same—darkness, shifting ground, distant echoes that might have been movement or might have been your imagination. What were you supposed to say? Of course we will. That would be the easy answer. The kind of thing people said to comfort each other, to pretend hope was enough to carry them through something like this. But it wasn’t you. It didn’t sit right, not when the truth felt so much heavier. Nah, probably not. That would be honest in its own way. Brutally so. But it would crush whatever fragile thread Will was holding onto, and you weren’t sure you wanted to be the one to do that. So you didn’t say either. You shrugged. A small, almost indifferent motion, but not careless. It was the closest thing you could offer to honesty without tearing something apart. A quiet acknowledgment of uncertainty, of possibility, of the fact that none of you really knew what was waiting ahead. Will watched you for a moment, searching your expression for something more concrete, something he could hold onto. When he didn’t find it, he exhaled slowly, nodding once like he understood—even if it didn’t make things easier. “Yeah,” he murmured. “Yeah, I guess… that makes sense.” The three of you kept walking. Time didn’t feel real here. Minutes stretched into hours, or maybe it was the other way around. There was no sun to mark the passage, no change in the sky, no sense of progression beyond the movement of your own feet. And with every step, the weight of Tartarus seemed to press harder, like it was testing how long you could last before you broke. Will stumbled slightly. It was subtle, easy to miss, but Nico caught it immediately. He stopped, turning just enough to look at him properly, his expression sharp with concern beneath the usual guardedness. “You’re getting weaker,” Nico said quietly. It wasn’t an accusation. It wasn’t even really a question. Just a statement of fact, one that hung heavy between them. Will gave a faint, tired smile, the kind that didn’t quite reach his eyes. “I’ll be fine,” he said, though it lacked its usual confidence. “Just… not a lot of sunlight down here, you know?” Nico’s jaw tightened. “I know.” You watched the exchange, something uneasy settling in your chest. This wasn’t just about finding a way out. It was about time. About how long Will could last in a place that actively drained everything he relied on to survive. You kept walking. Because stopping didn’t help. Because standing still in Tartarus felt worse than moving, like it gave the place more time to notice you, to wrap around you and pull you deeper. But as you walked, something shifted. Not in the environment—not in any visible way—but in the feeling of it. The air grew heavier, the silence thicker, like something was watching. Waiting. Nico felt it too. You could tell by the way his stance changed, more alert, more dangerous, his hand finally settling fully on his sword. “Stay close,” Nico said, voice low. Will didn’t argue. Neither did you. And for a moment, the three of you stood there, suspended in that suffocating stillness, the weight of Tartarus pressing in from all sides. You don’t know what comes next. You don’t know if there’s a way out, or if you’ll find it in time, or if time even matters in a place like this. All you know is that you’re here. Still standing. Still walking. And for now, that has to be enough.
