A raised eyebrow and a glance at the palm of her hand. Great, this is what was waiting for her up there she figured, something new, something different. A smirk finally played across her face and a shiver ran down her spine. The more she did it, the more she wasn't opposed to it. Not that she was opposed to it in the beginning, but some people seemed to shy away from it once they had done it the first time. She didn't have those qualms. More, more, the more she could, the more she wanted to, and she always wanted more of it. Her eyes played across the green, a sicklier green than with earth, but it was fine she thought. There was a lot to take in at the bottom of the steps to the altar, but she wasn't worried about it, the reliefs on the walls surrounding the whole area were gruesome, but welcoming in a way. 1/5

Her legs moved on their own, hungering for what was to come. Another chill, the feeling of something dragging against her spine, and she glanced to the side for half a second before giving an imperceptible shake of her head. It didn't matter, nothing was wrong she thought, but she could be wrong she thought. Jack finally glanced up as she walked up the stairs, feeling as though she was getting heavier with each step she climbed. Eyes glittering, she wondered if this was going to be enough, of course it wouldn't, but she knew things were going to be fine no matter what she did. Ah this was going to be fine, the artwork on the edges of the stairs were starting to leer at her, and she chuckled, pleased with how things were going so far. Of course all she was doing was climbing the stairs, but still, it was going well.
2/5

Hmm, halfway to the top, the stairs were the worst part, stairs always took forever and got to be very annoying after awhile. Jack sighed as she plodded along, slowing down a little as she went. This sucked, she hated stairs, she really did, but she tried to keep an eye on the motifs toward her sides. Everything was going to be fine she figured with a little grin as she kept on going, reaching a hand out and trailing it across the closer parts of the walls she could reach. It was interesting, most people seemed to be afraid or intimidated by all of this, but she found it oddly comforting. Maybe she was going crazy, it would explain a lot of things, like the little itch between her shoulder blades. She rolled her shoulders a little and frowned, she didn't know what was going on with that, but who knew, maybe it would be alright.
3/5

Aha, finally reached the top. The itch on her spine was forgotten for a little while as she reached the top and stretched her arms up over her head. It was nice she thought with a little smile, and the woman glanced at the robed figures before giving a small sigh and shake of her head. It was annoying being watched, but she would do it either way, she needed it. Her eyes lit up and she put the crystals on the altar, lining them up as best as she could. It was fine to at least look presentable right? Jack chuckled and glanced at the sky a little, giving it a smile. Things were going to go well, she would get her node and then off she would go again until, hopefully, next year. Hmm, that depended on if she could get more berries she figured though, with a little sigh. What was she going to do anyway if she couldn't?
4/5

Jack twirled the weird knife around her fingers and then frowned a little. Ah well, if she got some infection, she was sure it would work out, she had plenty of ways to get rid of it if she did. With her other hand, she popped the berry cluster into her mouth and crunched down, ready to get to the main event as the juice popped out of the skin. Giving a little grin, she lined up the knife next to the other scars on her arm and pulled it across quickly. Not even a flinch was given as she put the knife on the altar and let a few drops of blood coat all of the crystals. One oval mind crystal, seven chaos crystals, and two prismatic crystals were slick with her blood and she smiled as she leaned forward against the altar and waited for her soul to rip apart. It almost felt good anymore.
5/5
