THE ROOM OF LANTERNS

[dramatispersonae]

[ shockingly this room is full of lanterns. Some placed on the floor, some hanging from a rather low ceiling. Some just floating. Somehow.

Some are oil lanterns some are just candles in glass boxes.

They are all unlit. ]

We're guessing they might be connected to something else. The connections aren't all complete.

[Also, trying to open lantern front.]

[dramatispersonae]

[ you can open it fine! ]

[stigmateyes]

[Cool. Removing candle and blowing across the wick? :|a]

[dramatispersonae]

[ and then it lights \:D/ ]

[oceansoftime]

Ah!

[stigmateyes]

Hah! It worked!

[oceansoftime]

. . . So it's backwards, basically . . . ?

[stigmateyes]

Looks like it. We should try to see if we can get a few going at the same time.

[madasahero]

Oh, that was quite smart.

[Blowing his own wick!]

[oceansoftime]

*Nods! And goes to light up one of the floating candles this way*

[stigmateyes]

This part wasn't so bad, huh?

[unionoftheheart]

[sudden fire is eye-catching]

...whoa, awesome, what'd you do?

[stigmateyes]

Using Shion's idea and what happened when I picked up this lantern, I figured we might be dealing with some kind of opposite thing. Which means the way to light the candles is to blow them out.

[unionoftheheart]

Wow, that's really clever...

[finding a candle lantern to blow out, and if that works, he'll be going around with that candle carefully lighting lanterns]

[madasahero]

[SUPER HAPPILY LIGHTING ALLLLLL CANDLES. Watch me pretend I didn't scorch my tongue.]

[stigmateyes]

[You're lucky I didn't catch you fellatiating the wick, man. <<]

[unionoftheheart]

[let there be liiiiight!]

[stigmateyes]

[Will be alternating between blowing method and lighting method.]

[unionoftheheart]

[lighting until he's at risk of getting wax on his fingers, then putting that candle back and blowing another one]

[stigmateyes]

Wonder what it's supposed to do. I guess it makes sense for it to be the opposite of darkness.

[unionoftheheart]

All the wicks on them were black, like they'd been lit before...rekindling the light where it once was, before the darkness came. That's what I think, anyway...

[stigmateyes]

It's not a bad thought.

[unionoftheheart]

I think...we could all use some light now.

[madasahero]

[Lalalah, you never saw anything. We are lighting all the things, yeah]
