15strangers | WEEK 3

WEEK 3

[Once everyone has gotten out of the elevator, those who go to look for Akira and Kurama will find that they have been put into one of their rooms, together, safely tucked into bed with a glass of milk for each of them. And - aside from the bruises of being suctioned into a death cylinder and tranquilized with some very strong drugs - they are alive and unharmed.

Naturally, this means that Akira and Kurama are the first to experience the dreams, but everyone will experience them, once they finally fall asleep, for good and ill.

Despite everything, too, the survivors will find many other new things facing them as they wake up. A new evolution for their powers, a new wing...and a new rule, updated after the execution. The profiles have also been updated, to reflect the Titled's ever-dwindling numbers.

This is going to be a long week, that's for sure.

There are ten strangers left in this place.

((OOC: Don't forget to do Activity Check along with memory regains, everyone!))

Maybe it's directions to the maze. That'd explain the "1 2" instead of "A B"...

[Do those arrows make any sense as directions if she re-enters the main room from this one? As in, following the steps forward and back won't get her horribly maimed.]

[They do.

And once Joey finishes the maze?

The door opens.]

Good job, Joey.

[ Probably best that the smallest of them gets through. ]

Wonder what's next...

[ First of all, any other rooms they can access, or will they be doubling back? ]

[There is a room with a HOOOOLY SHIT DRAGON. A gross-looking dragon with its mouth open, and something in it. ]

[Okay is it like a real dragon or some kind of taxidermied or otherwise immobile dragon-shaped object. Because the former is a problem but the latter is honestly a logical escalation of Joey's day-to-day life.]

[ ...So since Croix is the one with the luck stats, is she going to be able to get it without this monstrosity hurting her? ]

[It's totally just an animatronic. It jerks around every so often.

And should Croix be successful in taking whatever is in the dragon's mouth, she will find more cards.]

Another card...

[ What's it say? ]

[There is more than one card, actually, Croix.]

Wait, there's five here!

[ Holy shit. ]

[ Um wow this is a lot. Wait. ]

Another status alive card! Wait... two. Are these people still around?

...I don't know. But it'd be nice to find out.

[ She's going to look around. Anything else here? ]

[There is a really disgusting piece of bread on the floor, and the dragon's mouth is still open.

Maybe something needs to be put in there to progress...?]

[ ...Croix really wishes she had her cape. She'll groan, then go and toss said bread into the dragon's mouth. Ew. ]

[Yep, that did it. The dragon let's out a sad little whine, and retreats, revealing a door with a lock on it.

Something has to be around to unlock it, right?]

A mockery of animal life and a random picture of a blue lady. Maybe this door leads to my house.

[Joey resists the urge to scribble on Blue Diamond's profile card, thankfully.]

Is that door a key lock?

[It is!]

Looks like it...

[ So is there a key around here? ]

[There is a box that doesn’t seem to have a way to open it without bashing it open.]

I haven't seen a key yet.

[Looks at bat.]

[Looks at box.]

[Looks at bat.]

Well, it's in here for a reason.

[>BASH]

[BOOM! Here’s a lockpick!

And another card.]

Why would you hide a lockpick instead of a key...?

[Let's check the card first.]

[More of the same, it seems.]

...How many of these are there...?

...how is someone with "Spontaneous Life Generation" dead, anyway? Or...maybe he was killed and came back?

[She shakes her head.]

Never mind. Do either of you know how to pick a lock?
