[Raiden is no stranger to any of these feelings. Like the walls are closing in, like he's choking on his own breath. Like he needs to escape. He knows it, but he's never really learned to manage it.]

[There's nobody nearby, not that he can tell, but Raiden can't shake the feeling he's being watched. Being seen. It only fuels his need to get out of here.]

[It's what has him at the escape hatch, looking for some kind of... A weak point or something.Maybe he should've paid more attention when people were explaining stuff to him about the ship-- he has no idea how to open this thing.]

[Now this is something Raiden knows how to deal with.]

[Just fight it.]

[Or, well. Kinda scoot 'em along by smacking them with your sword. They don't seem overly hostile, and kinda scurry away when they've been spooked. He has to use his NV filter, which makes them obscenely bright, but at least he can see his way around? That's pretty great.]

[He tries too shoo this latest one along before it absorbs all the light in the area, giving it a little smack with the flat of his sword to give it a spook and send it on its way. The thing responds by turning and biting his sword in response, obviously pretty mad about it. Which is understandable, really.]

Uh... [Raiden holds up his sword, little light creature firmly latched on the end of it.] I don't know what to do about this.

[He wiggles his sword. It does not let go.]
