Session 5 Hope (Seraphina's Version)

Okay, wow. I'm just trying to pull soap up, and I'm shouting, Thor! Wait! You can't leave us! And I attempt to pull soap up onto this dry spot that I am standing on. Hell yeah. I'm the strongest character in this campaign, obviously. Sure, sure. Okay, so that's going to be a 9 plus 1, 10. And my second roll is a 5 plus 1, 6. Yikes. Yeah? I'm pretty sure, actually, all of my friends went down the hole with the finger, and it's just you, Spore, whoever that guy is, and Hope, I don't know, and I. So, yeah, they're actually all gone. Yeah, I'm actually still holding a hand, yeah, right now. Okay. I turn to Hope. Are you okay? Still holding their hand, I give it a tight, two-second-long squeeze, something Seraphine has done to Hope many a time before. Okay. Does soap squeeze back, or... So, a long two-second squeeze back was an I'm okay, and a rapid two-squeeze would mean not okay, and that was kind of like their secret communication when their father was around and they had to check in on each other throughout their childhood. Okay. I'm hoping that some form of, if this is Hope's muscle memory, kicks in. Okay. So, sleight of hand. That's a plus 3, so that's a 19 plus 3. That's a 22. I immediately drop the hand, and I take a step back. Oh. Metaphorically, a minute ago, I said, I immediately drop the hand, and I take a step back. Oh. Metaphorically, emotionally, I take a step back. I'm taking it back. I'm taking it back. You're not really Hope, are you? I really thought you could have been my sister. You have her horns and everything. But if you were, that squeeze, it was like our secret handshake of some sort. It would have worked. You're not her. Fuck. Whoa. Okay. All right. Hope, are you ready? You might not be my sister, but I'm not going to let anything happen to you, okay? We're getting out of this. Jump! I think I would probably take Tor's hand, yeah. Probably still, or no, no, I let go of it. I let go of it. I think Hope is jumping by themselves. Oh, big team. Yeah, that other unnamed person. Go, go, let's go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go.
