Starling: "Hey guys."

~waves~

"So, I'm pretty sure this is the skull we are looking for, but... I don't think we can just take it."

-Dash ends up having to force one of her arms down to avoid looting everything in sight-

-Six, on the other hand, doesn't even move - after all, SPARTANs are masters of will, and if she doesn't want any of this cursed, goady shit, then it's going to stay here-

Six: -to Starling- A trap, or...

-Blackjack has a will of iron, caused by facing the longest odds and worst pains in her lifetime, so the incredible compulsion is just a nagging in the back of her head that is easily ignored-

Blackjack: Huh, there's some neat stuff in here.

Starling: "See this sword here? It's brimming with holy energy, and I am pretty sure it's binding this creature's soul in place. If we take the head out of whatever the sword's effect radius is, we'll free the beast. Same if we pull the sword out of the remains."

Six: -thinks-

Then it's pretty simple. We do a bit of recon before taking either item, figure out an escape plan, ID potential traps, then snatch both.

But all this shit is cursed, too. There's a voice in my head that's not mine telling me to make it out with as much swag as I can carry. Who says that it won't wake up anyways as soon as we grab that sword, even with the skull nearby?

Starling: "That could work, but exactly because of those concerns you listed I had another idea we could try first if you don't mind."

Six: Lay it on me.

-takes a second to look behind everyone-

-Dash is still doing pretty well, but it's clear her composure is starting to break-

Starling: "There's a melody that removes curses and allows lingering souls of the dead to pass on into the afterlife. Problem is, that's some really powerful evil at work here, so I have no idea if my music will be strong enough to work."

Might even distract some of us.

Starling: "Alright."

"...might be better if you guys brace yourselves, I have no idea if this will work, or if this actually causes more problems."

~takes out her microphone and fiddles with the settings~

"Test. Test. Test. Alright, there we go. Ready?"

-Dash flashes a shaky thumbs-up-

Dash: -to Longram- No, not really... there's voices in my head, didn't fucking train for this...

-Dash's voice is audibly wavering-

~look Dash, it's all shiny and gold :o~

-Well, Dash doesn't really notice for two reasons-

-Once, you have your helmet on-

-Two, she's focusing on the microphone she is now holding so that Starling can sing-

~clears her throat, places her hands on the skull, then takes a deep breath and begins to sing a haunting melody~

~the Mircophone imbues and empowers her voice with divine energy, causing it to echo through the entire necropolis~

-As Starling sings-

-you can see the microphone slowly start to shake-

-Dash is visibly trying to fight off the urges, and Six slowly moves behind her-

Plot-Treasure room

-As the song echoes throughout the necropolis, the feeling of evil permeating the entire structure starts fading while the evil intensity of the skull increases, as though retreating back into the skull-

-Dash, the only person there who apparently has a soul besides Starling, will feel a bit less shaky as the song continues to echo, as the voice in her head trying to goad her into giving into her greed starts growing fainter and fainter-

-and she starts to get a firmer grip-
