[kit's quest]

[dramatispersonae]

[you are suddenly at the bottom of a pile of heavy, square-cornered objects. it is rather hard to breathe and they're jabbing you in uncomfortable places. you may want to move.]

Comments

[dramatispersonae]

[you get a decent swing going! do you jump leftward or rightward?]

[blackjacked]

[to the left!]

[dramatispersonae]

[YOU LAND ON TOP OF A BIG HANGING CAGE . . . that has a slippery sloped roof, watch out]

[blackjacked]

[urk-- definitely slipping some. grabbing at the edges of the cage to keep from falling completely]

[dramatispersonae]

[you catch yourself at the edge! whew

when you've regained some sort of bearing, there are two tiny cages with the other wing and the bird's head within your reach]

[blackjacked]

[taking a minute or two to regain those bearings, the heat of the fire and the exertion of so much athletic ability getting to him for a bit. but once he's done catching his breath, he shifts a bit and reaches for the wing cage first

s-so cloooose]

[dramatispersonae]

[you can get the wing out of this one without problems]

[blackjacked]

[into his pocket that goes! now to try to retrieve the bird's head. . . :|a]

[dramatispersonae]

[the chain holding this one breaks when you tug at it, threatening to fall into the fire]

[blackjacked]

Oi--

[grasping at the chain to catch it before it falls D:]

[dramatispersonae]

[NICE CATCH]

[blackjacked]

[relieved siiiiiigh. slowly pulls the cage back up to fetch the bird's head next]

[dramatispersonae]

[it looks like you might have all the parts now...]

[blackjacked]

[lets the cage drop below once the last piece is secured]

. . . now, if I were a bird, where would I live?

[pushing himself up to see if there's a feasible way for him to make it over to the platform again]

[dramatispersonae]

[you're going to have to swing and leap or just take a long leap . . .if you miss you are going straight into the fire.]

[blackjacked]

[. . . dying after coming this far would suck :(a Long leaps are out of the question with the slippery slope of the cage roof, so swinging and leaping it is!

takes a hold of the cage that held the wing earlier and tugs on it to make sure it can hold his weight]

[dramatispersonae]

[it holds!]

[blackjacked]

[grabs it firmly, and pushes for a swing and a leap]

[dramatispersonae]

[YOU ARE TARZAN! IT IS YOU]

[blackjacked]

[I BELIEVE I CAN FLYYYY]

[dramatispersonae]

[you land on the platform

man it's hot down here.]

[blackjacked]

[SAFE-- and man it sure is, let's work quickly. pulls out those gears and bird pieces and starts putting them together]

[dramatispersonae]

[it looks like the cogs and springs go inside the casing and the wings and head and feet peg on

both eyeholes in the head are empty]

[blackjacked]

[blinks at the eyeholes, before fishing out that red stone from earlier. does it fit?]

[dramatispersonae]

[it fits in one of them and locks into place!

. . . unfortunately you do not have another one]
