ZEX ascended the stairs slowly, trying hard not to trip. His human legs did not respond very quickly at times, and he'd already fallen a few times and scraped up his palms, which was annoying. Careful, careful, and ignore how much he was shaking... human adrenaline was worthless, what good was it to have a bodily reaction that only made it more difficult to function?

ZEX ran his flashlight over his surroundings at the top of the stairs, looking around carefully. His double vision made it difficult to make out individual objects, and the darkness didn't help matters much... he squinted one eye shut and tried to take stock. Empty, and quiet. Unnerving... ZEX hoped that his luck would hold, and no creatures would find him.

ZEX rested one hand against the wall, and he slowly made his way along the hallway, further down into the darkness.
