WEEK 1

[Awaken.

Fifteen strangers have been gathered to the Depths.

When the strangers awaken, they will feel nauseous in their stomachs. No doubt confused. Maybe a little sick, Perhaps, even terrified. And certainly, there is a good reason for it - they are not where they were before. If they had powers back where they came from, they seem to be all gone. And it appears that someone has left...guidelines for them. All of them addressed to a specific Title.

Their Title. Somehow, each person knows, upon seeing this, this is their Title, even if it seems to make no sense whatsoever. And its clear that whoever wrote these things knew it as well. Who was it?

Its uncertain. So far, there seems to be no one else save for them, and those who dare to venture out of their rooms - save, for some reason, the individuals in rooms 1, 8 and 7 - in this hot and stuffy place. No...'intercessor' to be seen yet, certainly. No outward signs that there's anyone else aside from the people with 'Titles'.


So, Titled: welcome.

There are fifteen strangers in this place.]

[ The smile is sharp ]

What happens when they die?

[ Maglor NO ]

[SNORTS]

They have that covered, the seal can kill anyone connected to it if the master dies. To discourage rescues...

[bythewaves]

Not all escapes end in life. [ It is a whisper so soft that it might not have been meant to hear at all, and for a moment there is a shadow in his eyes and on his face, a memory of long ago and far away, maybe, but then it passes and he focuses on her again ]

Then I would suggest looking at ways to cheat death, pitya. There are quite a few, if one is clever about it, less, if one is not keen on dabbling in the dark arts, but still... there are ways.

[kiddefender]

[The fuzzy ears wiggle and she just tilts her head. It might be at either of the things he's saying.]

I don't understand...Why would I do that?

[bythewaves]

Why would you not? [ He asks simply instead of answering ]

[kiddefender]

If I don't there will be no one to stop what happened to me from happening to other kids.

[bythewaves]

If you do and you kill them all, it won't be able to happen again.

[kiddefender]

That would be the cause of the last few wars... I don't think I'll be able to achieve that in one lifetime, what others have been trying for generations.

[bythewaves]

How do you know that, though? [ He points out ] It may take the lifetimes of many, to win a victory. But if everyone refuses to try it will never happen at all.
