"This isn't real!" shouts Ellis. "He doesn't have any power over us! Boys, concentrate! Free yourselves!"
Ellis tries to imagine his bonds falling away.

“I see through your lies, Covington” Ellis tells him. “You took me by surprise, but you’re weak.”
Ellis tries to imagine himself holding a weapon.

Re: Part 1 - Ice and Time
Nothing appears in response to that effort, though the geometric tracery around you all flares slightly, drawing your eye to follow it. As you do so, you realise this is what the equations were trying to model.
Searching your face, Covington takes a sharp breath. "You know it, don't you. The answer I've been searching for. Give it to me, and I need spill no blood. Give it to me and I'll spare you and your woman."

Jacqueline tries to concentrate on breaking free from this illusion with all of her will.

Re: Part 1 - Ice and Time
The parlour vanishes from around you, replaced with a vista of darkness stretching endlessly in every direction - though you are lying on a surface that's solid enough, if invisible - and in your own clothes, instead of the maid uniform. Alexander and James are lying nearby, though Ellis is on his feet, facing Covington who's standing between you. Around all of you are threads of light arranged in odd geometric patterns that ping some kind of recognition at the back of your mind - there are other such traceries in the distance.
Covington is focussed on Ellis, and appears not to have noticed your breaking free.
Re: Part 1 - Ice and Time
“Spare us?” Ellis sneers. “You talk like you’re the one in control. Stop deceiving yourself. Your time is over.”
Re: Part 1 - Ice and Time
Jacqueline prays for protection from Covington and checks to see if she still has her purse in this setting. If she does, she tries to retrieve her revolver from it.

Re: Part 1 - Ice and Time
Jacqueline doesn't hesitate to shoot Covington in the back after what he did to her. The bullet causes massive damage.

Re: Part 1 - Ice and Time
Covingon screams as the bullet tears into him. Jacqueline sees no blood coming from the wound, but he staggers and collapses anyway. He tries to push himself back upright, but his arms don't have the strength.
"Without me, you're trapped here," he gasps.
Alexander and James both stir, looking around each other in surprise - it seems the illusion of the plantation has collapsed for them too.

"Wrong" says Ellis, looking down at him without expression. "I know how to return."

"Then... take me with you. I will leave you in peace, all of you. None of you need ever hear from me again."
"Won't that be true anyway?" Alexander says.
"I will... still... have a way into your minds," Covington says. "Help me to live, or I shall haunt your dreams. Help me and you shall be free."

"No" says Ellis. "You're finished, Covington. You underestimated us. How does it feel?"
