"Is anyone else getting colder?" Sakuri asked as the group wandered down the dark hall between areas and into a squishy pink looking, and feeling, room. "And a little lighter?"
"Could be an illusion, but I definitely can't feel my clothes." Devin said before coming to a realization. "Because it feels like I was stripped naked."
"You are naked. Why are you two naked?" Chris asked, averting his gaze soon after to spare them all some embarrassment.
"What?" Devin replied, reality finally setting in. "Oh come on dude."
"You're naked. Why?" Chris asked once more, confused about the situation himself.
"I could be asking you the same!" Sakuri cried out, as she covered herself with her hands. "How can you be so nonchalant about this!"
The two shrugged before merely stating that Hell's done worse. While true, it did not change how they felt about the situation.
"Perhaps Hell was trying to strip everything. Clothes, hair, skin. Everything, but we got through quickly enough to only lose our garments. Regardless, I'd like to stop feeling like the floor is licking me." Chris said, hearing Lucifer stomping behind them. "And to get away from that guy!"
Running off into the open room to the left they grabbed the red medicine at the end of it and a vent nearby that they used to escape. On the other side were two rooms on each end.
"Great, now I'm cold." Chris complained, shivering. Gritting his teeth and moving into the left-most room as fast as he could move and taking an immediate right, ignoring the narrow slit in the floor at the very end, to find a vial of blue medicine and a shadow creature looking at him. "See something you like?"
Returning to the group, they headed down the right path to find two large Corpus in their way. Once down the room at the end of the hall they had two options, continue straight or take a quick look into the room on the left. The room ahead of them brought in a familiar stink so they took their chances with the room off to the side and found a new, small, golden vial and another shadow creature looking at them. Sakuri picked it up and inspected it. 'Elixir.'
"That. Is some potent medicine." Devin stated as Chris gripped onto the blue vial he gathered. "That's probably good and bad news for us."
"Let's hope there's more of these lying around then. I think we all should carry a vial of some sort." Chris said before gazing towards Sakuri, keeping his eyes level with hers. "You hang on to that one Sakuri."
"R...right!" She stammered, flushing red.
"Great so." Devin said before the smell hit again. "I hope we don't have to trudge through that naked."
Moving back to the hall and entering the room that emitted the foul smell, a vent awaiting them on the other side. Between the two platforms was a pit of the foul liquid from the sewers. Chris and Devin gave a nod before Chris cupped his hands for Devin to boost off from, allowing him to clear the pit.
"I know we're not exactly looking modest here, but I need you to swallow that embarrassment long enough to allow me to toss you across." Chris said with a stoic expression.
With a defeated sigh she ran full sprint before kicking off his hands and landing into Devin's arms, before quickly separating. Chris vaulting over soon after.
"Enter the vent and look at the ground?" Devin asked as the three regained their bearings.
"Only way to go." Sakuri chuckled nervously. "I. I'll go first."
The two men turned away until Sakuri gave them the okay to start coming through, Devin nudging Chris forward. "You first."
"Sissy." Chris teased before staring down at the ground as he crawled through the vent. "C'mon, we don't have long before Lucifer finds us again."
