L: For the first time in who knows how long, light shone on the inside of the pyramid, a Blaziken and Cyndaquil exploring its halls and lighting up torches as they went. "This is so cool... We might be the first to see this place in centuries!"

N: Cyndaquil: Wonder what awaits us here

L: After a little while, the two come to a large room with murals painted on the walls. "Oh, neat! These might tell us all sorts of stuff about the people that built all this!"

N: Cyndaquil: I wonder what it says

L: As Blaziken continues to inspect the murals, part of the floor he steps on sinks down slightly. Immediately, there's a rumbling sound and the room's exits close off! "O-oh crap!" The rumbling continues as the room's floor begins to open up, though what might be below isn't yet visible.

N: Cyndaquil: Was that a trap?!

L: "Sure seems like it!" As the floor opens more, enough light gets into the hole that the bottom is visible, with what appears to be a thick layer of sand. "I think whatever's supposed to be down there isn't there any more, there's just sand. We might actually be fine!"

N: Cyndaquil: Might be some kind of sand chamber, possibly be quicksand nearby

L: "W-well I hope that's not quicksand down there!" The floor is almost completely gone at this point, and Blaziken nervously presses himself against a wall to keep from falling for a little longer.

N: Cyndaquil: Nothing but sand down here

L: Finally, there isn't enough for Blaziken to stand on any more, and he falls into the pit. "AAH!" He manages to land upright, but immediately sinks up to his knees in the sand with a splatting sound. "O-oh no... Th-this really is quicksand!"

N: ( Cyndaquil falls and landed on the soft sand as he instantly sinks to his knees ) Cyndaquil: So it was quicksand

L: Blaziken looks up, then all around. "...I don't think there's a way out... This might be it for us."

N: Cyndaquil: Seems like it, at least the sand here feels warm and comfy

L: Blaziken looks at Cyndaquil and gives a nervous smile. "...I guess we may as well try to enjoy ourselves while we can, huh?"

N: Cyndaquil: Yeah, might as well make the best of it

L: As he sinks up to his belly, Blaziken's smile becomes more genuine. "This does feel good. Sucks that we're only gonna get to enjoy it once..."

N: ( Cyndaquil sinks to his belly ) Cyndaquil: At least it was a peaceful way to go out

L: "Haha! I just realized, we haven't called for help a single time! Even if someone else was around, I doubt there'd be anything they could do, but that's still funny."

N: Cyndaquil: Yeah, we were too busy with this pleasure trap ( Cyndaquil rest his arm on the sandy surface as he sinks to his chest ) 

L: "Whoever made this would be pretty confused to see us actually enjoying their trap!" Blaziken is up to his chest as well, and he pats the quicksand's surface a few times.

N: Cyndaquil: We should sink under with style

L: "Well, however we do it, it's gonna be soon!"

N: Cyndaquil: Maybe struggle playfully as we willing drown in the sand

L: "Ah, I think I get it!" Blaziken smacks the quicksand as he gets up to his neck, pretending he wasn't actually willing to go under.

N: ( Cyndaquil starts swaying his arms as he splash some sand while sinking to his neck ) Cyndaquil: We’re slowly drowning in soft and comfy quicksand

L: "And, soon enough, it's gonna be filling our lungs... Probably gonna hurt at first, but I'm sure even that'll feel good eventually!" Blaziken starts tilting his head back to keep his beak above the surface.

N: ( Cyndaquil tilts his head back as sand reach his chin ) Cyndaquil: A lungful of warm soft sand

L: "A-alright, here we go..." After taking a deep breath, Blaziken puffs his cheeks as his head finally sinks below the surface, his arms still above it for the moment, flailing as if he wanted to be rescued.

N: ( Cyndaquil toke his deep breath as his head slowly sinks under leaving only his nostril remains as he wiggles )

L: Soon enough, Blaziken's arms fully sink under as well, and he happily tries to speak, but is entirely incomprehensible as he bubbles out into the quicksand.

N: ( Cyndaquil nostril sinks under as he completely sunken while holding his breath )

L: Blaziken relaxes for a while, calmly holding his breath and running his hands through the thick quicksand all around him.

N: ( Cyndaquil enjoying his slow descent into the bottomless abyss )

L: After about a minute, Blaziken starts having trouble holding his breath. He blows some bubbles and squirms in discomfort, but makes no attempt to reach the surface.

N: ( Cyndaquil starting to lose air as he struggling in the soft sand )

L: Blaziken clenches his fists as he struggles harder, but then decides to just... Not hold his breath. He willingly opens his beak and exhales, all his air bubbling away. Leaving his beak open, he pauses for a couple seconds, then purposely inhales the sand, immediately grabbing his neck as he starts drowning.

N: ( Cyndaquil start inhaling sand as he feel his lung being filled with sand )

L: Shivering and choking, Blaziken frantically kicks around in the quicksand, coughing up the very last bubbles in his flooded lungs as his face turns purple.

N: ( Cyndaquil slowly losing consciousness as he happily drowns under the sand )

L: The lack of oxygen finally starts slowing Blaziken's struggles, and he eventually stops fighting drowning, breathing sand with a drowsy smile on his face, occasionally seeming to hiccup as his body tries to force out the sand.
