The pathways of the dungeon had changed overnight. Anyone who had stayed in a room beyond their welcome had found themselves booted out back onto the hallways that belonged to their camp and feeling pressed down by the sudden increase in gravity. The doors of yesterday had closed. Other doors had now opened.
And other routes.
[ pathways | gremlins | space battles | room of the past | flooded room | free space | strange vault | ooc NOTE: room doors not belonging to your camp will lock when you enter. so please designate whether you're from camp 1 or the joint camp 2/ camp 3 ]

Or at least try to.
Stupid room.

Date: 2013-04-12 05:10 pm (UTC)"I wanted to see how you were dealing with Ash's death," a familiar voice said behind him. He paused and glanced over his shoulder. There his younger self was again, healthier now, but looking tense.
Kaidan was starting to realize why people had always told him to loosen up back then.
"Dealing, sir." Younger Kaidan paused, then added, awkwardly, "Sorry for anything I said back there. Adrenaline."
"I understand," Shepard said quietly. "I don't like losing people either."
"I've served for years," other Kaidan added, "But never lost a soldier under my command. Not to hostile action, anyway. If you don't mind me asking-- how did you deal with the losses on Elysium?"
Current Kaidan's mouth formed the tiniest little smile as he watched. "I think we're almost done here."
Maybe this was the room's way of apologizing. Giving him just a few moments with an old friend.

Date: 2013-04-12 05:30 pm (UTC)"It was my job to get everyone out safe," Shepard said. "I failed. I vowed not to let that happen again. Same here. I'll remember her, and I'll do better for her."
And the Kaidan of over a year ago swallowed. "Yeah," he said. "I guess that's all we can do. ...Thanks for the advice, sir."
Shepard looked like he came close to smiling, but didn't. "That aside," he said, "I'd like your input on the last mission."
"Input?" Younger Kaidan had a disbelieving hint of laughter in his tone. "I don't know. We're fighting giant machines from outside of the galaxy. Should I be afraid of them? Or in awe of them? Anything so old, so... intelligent--"
Shepard chuckled. "Yeah, they've been around for a while," he said. "So have the turians. And we gave them a boot in the ass."
"Heh," younger Kaidan said, as the environment finally started to fade around them. "I think we're going to need a bigger boot."

"Dammit! I hate this place!"
