Experiment Thread: Tonks and Elliott
Who: Tonks and Elliot
What: Being good guinea pigs
Where: Undisclosed location
When: 8AM, day 15
Rating: PG-14

Day 15 finds Elliott and Tonks dropped into is much larger than the space they are actually confined to. Both characters wake up in a 5x5 plexiglass cube that cannot be broken. There are vents in the walls that are clearly shown to connect to pumps. Outside of the cube the quite dead form of Sid Jenkins is visible. He appears to have suffocated.

Additional information for this experiment to be provided as the thread progresses.

Elliot looked up as Tonks fell, studying the other woman's face as she talked. "Okay," she said, nodding quickly even if she wasn't sure she believed it. She wanted to.

She stilled at the sound of a beep, spanning around in the glass cage to see where it was coming from. "Did you hear that?" She asked, looking over at Tonks. It sounded again and again and Elliot swallowed, her throat feeling raw. "What is that?"

She squinted out past the glass trying to make out if there was anything out there past the 5x5 cube.

"Okay." Repeated softly, half for her own sake as well. There was a brief moment of reprieve then, head tilting back on the plexi-glass even as her hand moved along the bottom. Still searching.

No. No reprieve. She stood up quickly, looking around. "I heard it." What -was- it though? Dark eyes were wide, trying to find the source. "It's gettin' quicker." Just like her heart. Tonks banged on the glass then, shouting for help. But in between her shouts she heard that beep go so fast that it nearly became one long noise. And heard the pumps kick in after that.

She looked to Elliot then, mouth in a thin line. "Remind me to hex them into the next life." She was so scared and angry that the witch might just be able to hex someone without a wand. "We need to hit the button again, hey?" Quick-like, Tonks was trying to maneuver back to where the button was. But the cloudy gas was rolling in at a rate that was faster than Tonks could move.

It sounded like a heart monitor, though it was building too much speed to be a human's heart. Elliot couldn't find the source and she started to feel herself panicking. They were trying to scare them, to freak them out, to play games with them. She had to stay calm. She couldn't let her emotions get the better of her. She had to...

She sucked in a deep breath as the pumps started moving, a moment later smoky gas making it's way down from the air pumps. She put her hand over her mouth and nose. Not again. Not again.

She looked over at Tonks, swallowed down her fear and bent down in order to lift Tonks so that she could hit the button. The gas seemed to be pouring into the room much faster than before and she blinked burning eyes to see clearly. "Hurry!" she called out, ushering Tonks over with a frantic wave of the hand as he throat started to burn with each breath she took.

Not again. No, not again! The gas was filling up even while she was trying to hop up onto Elliot's shoulders again. But she was coughing and her eyes were watering and it hurt. It hurt to breathe.

Even still, Tonks was trying to do what she needed to do. Even moving that much was burning her lungs as she tried to get a good and proper breath. It wasn't coming. It was like drowning without being under water. A gasp of air and she was shaking her head to try and clear it, but that just made it worse. "I feel.." Like she was going to pass out. Like she was suffocating.

Elliot had brought her hands back to her shirt and was holding it over her nose and mouth. She'd lost her jacket somewhere on the floor and could no longer see it. Her throat was starting to seize up and her lungs struggle for air. She was going to die here.

She could barely make out Tonks just a foot away and she reached out for the other woman. "To--" she started to yell but was cut off by a violent bout of coughing that doubled her over. She sucked in a breath but it felt like her lungs had frozen and all she could smell was the gas in the air. Her heart was beating so fast she thought it might explode in her chest as she struggled to get a breath in.

The lightheaded feeling that had been building intensified as she stepped towards the place where Tonks had been standing a moment ago, but was now a solid wall of gas. The world tilted and Elliot went down hard. She had a second to wonder why - Why Sid? Why her? Why Tonks? - before the world went black.

"Elli--!" Tonks couldn't finish the other woman's name because another fit of coughing had shaken her to the bone. She tried to help when she saw the vague outline of Elliot go down, but by that time the gas was so thick that she couldn't have reached out and actually find her even though she tried.

Her heart was pounding, attempting to make up for the oxygen lost, but really it did no good. She slumped over in the box, crumpling as she passed out.
