Explicit watches as the wardrobe stretches and she can't believe her eyes. She quickly jumps into it, knowing that it's a gift. She presses herself tightly against the back of the wardrobe, remaining as calm as she can. She feels something dangling beside her and she turns to see a dilapidated coat hanging down. She shakes her head and makes a horrible comment in her head. 'Welcome to Narnia.' she thinks. She remains quiet, awaiting the passing of the horrid creature she'd heard only moments ago.

Explicit looks up, feeling something malicious coming down the hallway. She can feel its eyes searching, constantly watching for something. She turns to Tezaku, putting her hooves on the pony and then looking at the wardrobe. "This is going to sound really strange, but we need to get into that wardrobe." she says, extremely concerned about the being she feels down the hall. She moves towards the wardrobe, getting into it and then realizing there's only really enough room for one. "Oh... You get in, I'll make due." Explicit says, hoping that the other pony gets in.
Escy looks around for something she might be able to throw as a distraction.

Explicit moves her hoof left and right, her face lost in extreme thought. She tries to figure out which way to push the lever, and finally comes to a conclusion. "Left." she says knowingly and confidently. "Pushing it the right way would be too obvious. I was able to wander through dreams with Farsight for a while, and I know he has some power here, though it may be very little. I hold onto my faith in that." she says, knocking her hoof to the left and pushing the lever. She would rather get it wrong and it all be her fault than place the blame on another.
In all reality, after all, there was no way to know which direction would do the trick.

Explicit puts her hoof on Tezaku's back, rubbing it slowly. "Together." she says with a simple nod, taking point. She moves through the corridors, finding her way to the location of the lever. Upon arriving at the location, she waits for Tezaku to catch up, not wanting to leave the pony behind or leave herself alone. She waits, looking around a bit to see if she can find out where the lever may be.

Explicit catches up to the group, stopping at Physics and looking to see if he's alright as well. She notices the burn marks and grimaces a bit. It's just like her dream, what happens in the dream will probably carry over into reality. They needed to be far more careful now than ever, especially since anything can happen. She quickly rises, not giving any time to worry about what has happened and simply hurrying to find a way to undo it. She checks the floor near the filigrees, then the ceiling, attempting to discover any potential weakness. Perhaps she could harness what's left of her dream energy? No, she'll need that later.
She begins to run her hooves on the walls, feeling for any pressure plates or switches. Even some sort of magical key would be satisfying right now. She's not even sure if she's searching for the right thing, since Xin could have set the grate to unlock from any sort of device.

Explicit, having been following the group since their decision to go left and avoid the sound of water, was finding herself being spread thin between the walls of the narrowing hall. If claustrophobia were one of her fears, she'd be freaking out right now. Fortunately, she actually has a liking for tight spaces and the comfort they bring.

(Sorry guys. I've started to play around on Iwaku a lot. So much, actually, that I somehow managed to get the Member of the Month award and several others after only a week and a half of being a member. Anyways, Farsight is insistent that I continue the pony version of The Dreamer. So, for Farsight's desire, and other things I can't comment on because of the forum rules, I will continue 
)
Explicit nods and points her hoof forward. "You find them and I'll destroy them, Zappy. We have to hurry, I'm worried about Prid!" she says with utmost concern, feeling as though too much time has been wasted already. She moves forward a bit and then pauses, waiting for Zappy to take the lead once more.

Explicit pushes her hooves against her ears. The screaming noise, despite being dulled by her dream senses, is actually more painful to her than it likely was to the others. She shakes herself, getting the feeling to fall away. She may not be able to do anything in direct effect with this dream, but at least she knows it's just a dream. That's going to get her through the majority of this "adventure".
Just remember this, Xin, Explicit thinks to herself, knowing that he can hear, I know what you're capable of, and I'm not afraid.
(Perhaps I can introduce an interesting thing for Explicit to discover? The difference between two separate types of dreams. One is a Malevolence, a dream created by evil, where far more can be done in the way of darkness. The other is an Innocence, one made out of a passive nature, often unintentionally while asleep or near death. She thinks an Innocence is the same thing as a Malevolence right now.)

Explicit is both thrilled and horrified by the voice in her mind. She focuses on Farsight as he once was, not as his possessor has made him. She mentally builds a direct connection between herself and Farsight, praying that Xin won't immediately notice it. As subtly as she can, she sends him a message.
"I was invited, sent my brother instead. Came to find him, felt something wrong. Swapped places with him. Where are you? I know he must have you chained inside the dream, or you couldn't talk to me." Explicit spoke through her mental connection, not paying any mind to the ponies around her. She'd get to them in a moment.

Risque has remained in his cell this entire time. Something about the place he's trapped in seems to have him going insane. He's quickly losing his grip on reality, which he's already been severed from via this terrible place. He can feel himself dipping into a dark state of chaos, can hear the voices of one named Xin. Dark, silent whispers. Always speaking. Always whispering. Always echoing through his thoughts, his mind, the very cell he's holed himself in.
His lips spread in a small grin as he presses his hoof against the wall of the cell. His hoof seems to be writing out words on the cell wall, as if he's speaking back to the voice. His eyes have shrunk. His grin has spread creepily across his face, almost wider than physically possible. He can see his reflection in the wall. No skin, organs beating beneath layers of bones. He starts to let out a soft bout of laughter, which inevitably strengthens in pitch. Eventually he trails off into a horrid series of hacking and dark laughter.
His sanity has left him.
Explicit can feel her twin brother within Farsight's home. She shuffles through the home, looking everywhere she can think to find Risque. He's here, but he isn't. Where could he possibly be? And then she feels it, something very familiar. Something she felt during her battle with her sickness. Something she felt within Farsight then, and something that must have taken hold of him now. She presses her cheek against a wall, feeling useless.
The whole time she was coming to this mansion, she could only think about what she'd done. Her brother always seemed so cut off, she wanted to trick him into being social for once. She lied about her sickness. Risque had been away exploring, so he didn't know her illness was gone. She used it to convince him into joining Farsight in her stead. All that was happening was her fault.
Risque's eyes regained some of their size. His laughter stopped. The wall changed away from a writing board and a mirror, a disgusting reflection of himself, and into a window. On the other end of the wall was his twin sister. Explicit was right there. He has to reach out to her, to let her know he's trapped. He can see Explicit raise her head away from the wall and turn to it. Apparently she can see him, too, though not physically.
"Explicit, help!" Risque yells, slowly falling back into his insanity.
Explicit looks around, having heard Risque just barely. She then focuses her attention on the wall. She clears her mind and lets out a deep breath. She opens her eyes to see the inside of the cell that Risque was just in, and to see him on the outside, wide eyed. Just as she went to speak to him, to tell him to run, the window closed itself. Risque had unknowingly delivered his sister, The Dreamer, into the hands of Xin.
And on top of that, she's all alone. She quickly moves out of the cell and the small lockup room, into the hall. She can feel other presences within the dream, and she heads towards them. She can feel Xin slowly cutting off her connection to the dream, slowly preventing her from having any power, but she does have a little while before that can happen.

"That I'm going to have to figure out. Alternatively, you could disable the traps. Or you could just explain the trap to me and we can guess." Explicit says, not being very sure about the last bit.

"Farsight, you and I should go in with Zappy first. The rest can follow suit. Or better yet, maybe we could disable the traps? But how to do that. . ." Explicit thinks for a moment with her hoof to her chin. "Maybe I'll think of something when I see the trap."

"That would explain how they managed to get all the way back here." Explicit says, giving the thunder wolf one final look. She shivers slightly. "Zappy, do you think you can help us avoid the triggers?"

(I'll let you decide what the trap is. My creative box is broken at the moment.)
Explicit points into the pool of water, where the remains of the thunder wolf can be made out. She then looks ahead. "Can you go ahead and tell what it is? Throw a rock or something?"

As Explicit move past the puddle of water as well, she notices a glint. She stops and looks closer, examining the puddle. As it turns out, it's actually pretty deep. And the glint is the final bit of magic in the eyes of a thunder wolf. She looks up. "Zappy, watch out! Something up ahead is what caught those thunder wolves!" she says loudly enough that Zappy can hear and with an urgency, but still as low as possible.

Risque looks up and watches the figure through his cell door. He then begins looking for the key, wanting to rid himself of the crowd. He wasn't interested in finding his way up, he wanted to go down and out. Explicit had told him something like this would happen. How would she have known, though? And why, oh might Celestia, wouldn't he listen?
He checks under his mattress, in the nooks of the metal framing holding the bed up, every inch of the flooring, several small cracks in the walls. Finally, unsatisfied by his lack of findings, he attempts to use his magic for something, feeling that it has failed. He growls low so that nobody can hear. And then he carefully pulls at the seems of his mattress, finally succeeding in ripping it far enough to reach his hoof inside and feel around for a possible key.

"Zappy, since you can see in the dark, do you want to lead? It's a big job, but I think you can handle it for us!" Explicit asks, her eyes barely adjusting to the darkness of the passage. She goes to use her shards to buffer her own eyesight, but then remember that she left them all with Mahogany. She awaits Zappy's answer."

The cavern is dark. The party can barely see ahead of them, and the sounds of the thunder wolves can be heard. They seem to have found their way into a trap, and are yelping from pain. There's no telling where they are, though. The party is now in a cave dungeon.

(This entire fight scene is roll based. This is a 1 for 1 system based on rolls. 1-3 is Timber victory, 4-6 is Thunder victory. Now, that doesn't seem like it'd be important, but wait until you see the results.)
The first two wolves enter combat, striking at each other. The Timber wolves are the first to take a casualty, the thunder wolf bringing its heavy claw don't strong against the skull of the other. The energy gathered within the strike shatters the magic holding the timber wolf together, and it ceases to exist.
The next skirmish happens very close by. The thunder wolf quickly strikes at the timber wolf, but misses. The timber wolf attempts to bite the thunder wolf, failing and having the thunder wolf counter with its own bite. The bite causes the timber wolf to fall apart. The thunder wolf howls, bringing down another bolt of lightning, destroying the magic holding the timber wolf together just as its brother had before.
Several more fights played out this way, up until the final of the ten skirmishes. The timber wolf valiantly strikes with its wooden paw, causing the thunder wolf to go into a rolling fit, crushing itself against the cave walls as it falls into the darkness.
--- Second Fight Set (And this is where I was like 'wat.') ---
One after another, the timber wolf defeats the thunder wolves. At one point, two begin to attack him at a time, (The final two rolls.), but still both wolves weren't capable of defeating him. The remaining two thunder wolves flee into the cavern, quickly jumping its way down to the cavern floor.
(That's where I gave up rolling and decided that this timber wolf should be super batshoot crazy powerful. So instead, I made it a good guy.)
The timber wolf turns its sights to Explicit. Giving her a nod. "Explicit, go into the cavern. You must reach Pride before the thunder wolves do." he says in a grainy voice.
"Who are you?" she asked, extremely confused as to why the timber wolf would help her.
The timber wolf gets itself into a defensive stance, another set of thunder wolves pushing from the forest to attack. He shouts before entering combat with them. "Mahogany, brother of Willow!" and then he disappears into the larger group of thunder wolves.
Explicit blinks and then nods. "We have to move quickly." she says, running to the cave entrance and slinging her shards into the timber wolf as a last act, buffering its power. She carefully hops between the small platforms leading down into the underground cavern.
