[ i'm proud that the two of them are looking out for kim in his current state. somehow things just work out this well but kim will not suffocate on top of the shock he'll have from his injury. amazing what a little fire can do, but that feedback loop from the pain might be negging in the back of their minds as the thorn cloak will add an extra layer to pain to poor kim. why is kim being abused? he hasn't done anything to deserve this—
but they'll be able to make it through the growing crowds of people who show up in part due to the illusions that are left behind by diluc and but much of the heavy lifting will go to akira and his "shredding" of those who stand before him. did either of them want to be covered in blood? probably not but now they are. (are those people dead now? wobbly hands. outlook not so good.) diluc may receive some injuries from stray shots from the bullets that aim a bit too true. roll for that damage check! (higher more damage taken.) but as they book it to the edge of the section again.... stairs? elevator? or an even more radical option of whole ass just jumping down the hole?
regardless, they should think about what they want to do soon because for those who haven't been tricked or injured by the two of them, are coming back with those murder shoes to get their revenge. to make matters worse, the whirring noise that they had heard when they first arrived at this section is even louder than before and and just before the whole "tower" begins to shake. ]
[Kim's been in shock for the past few minutes. He's aware that a new cloak was draped over him, and he pulled it over his head and remaining arm at some point. Besides that, much of this has been a blur.]
Yes. [He taps Diluc, signaling that he would like to get down on his feet.
He reaches into his pocket (digging somewhere beneath two wholeass cloaks) to grab his coin, and activates a power.
In an instant, a storm of cherry blossoms surround them. Then, he activates his new wind power to attempt to direct a gust of wind at some of their pursuers, picking up those petals and whipping them at their faces. He's not sure how much power he can muster, but he'll try to blast the air at their eyes, noses, and ears, to disorient them. The activated ability seems to have another effect too, and hopefully that also works for him.]
[ it sure does work well for him! or, well, for all of them! i just love the mental image of kim being bundled up in various cloaks like a small child before he just blasts everyone away with the wind abilities... it isn't exactly a typhoon quality winds but it's no joke and they go flying back and hitting the glass walls. which, actually, leave some of the cloak users a bit stunned for a moment after he sets off the wind. weird!
it'll take them all a moment to gather their bearings and think about what the fuck just happened.
and this is enough time for them to really get their move on. especially now that there seems to be some sparking at the bottom of the hole that can somewhat see faint traces of. either it's a testament of how bright the light is or a testament of how close they are to the bottom... who knows. honestly, who knows how far they've gone. ]
[Kim puts his coin back and just reaches a hand to hold over the stump of an arm he now has. He's still standing, at least. It looks like he might make it through this without passing out.]
You're thinking of jumping down? Are you out of your mind?
Our pursuers were knocked back, so we should be safe to stay on here for a little longer. When it's clear we're closer, then let's think of jumping, best not to kill ourselves here.
[ diluc is looking over the edge at the sparks, trying to see any sign of the bottom of this tower. he will also have canoups shift into owl form and swoop down, not too far ofc, to take a look. ]
[ as canoups shifts into their owl form, they'll see quite far down given their owl eyes that differ from human eyes. which means they'll be able to see far down the "tower" despite the sparks and the vibrations that they'll be feeling. it doesn't seem violent without reason but it's hard to tell what it would be for.
fortunately, it will seem like there is another landing that they can possibly crash onto. a catwalk or a grate of some sort. in addition, just a bit further down from that grate seems to what looks like a control panel? perhaps? a there's a faint glow of something. it'll be hard to exactly tell because of the distance between canoups and diluc but... maybe won't be so bad.
There's a platform that doesn't seem to be too far down. [ he glances back up to see if those cloaks from earlier are coming...he's sure they will catch up soon. then looks back down at the pit...here goes nothing??

[ Akira will be nyooming for the elevator but he'll wait to make sure diluc and Kim are with him before committing. ]

Kim, can you hear me!? [ he's hopping on the elevator with akira and hitting the button to GO GO GO . ]

If you can get us down there, that's the fastest way out. [ He will absolutely jump but it'd help if he knew how yolo he was being. ]

OK let's do this and hope it does not go poorly, yolo. May his years of martial arts training be worth something. ]
