[looking for his own door :T!!]

Re: Start Point

[dramatispersonae]

YOUR DOOR HAS BEEN FOUND. There's a couple of comfortable chairs and a desk, pushed off to the side, but most of the room seems to be taken over by a scattering of various weaponry of ninja origin, along with a whip and a couple of pistols too.

There's also a mural on the wall, a boldly painted stallion identical to the tattoo on Chariot's arm.

[AND THEN SILVER RIDES IN ON A FLAMING HORSE.]

--Sasuke?

Re: Start Point

[fraternaldevotion]

[inside of the room by the moment Silver arrives, and turns to look at him. Doesn't look surprised at the flaming horse]

You're also here, huh.

Re: Start Point

[exchanged]

[that's okay, horses are supposed to be on fire.]

Yeah. You haven't found a key anywhere, have you?

Re: Start Point

[fraternaldevotion]

I found a ring.

[moving towards the mural to inspect it more closely]

Re: Start Point

[exchanged]

... is it shaped like a flame or a rose?

Re: Start Point

[fraternaldevotion]

A red rose.

Why?

Re: Start Point

[exchanged]

There's a gate with locks in those shapes.

Re: Start Point

[fraternaldevotion]

I might need to find something here first.

Re: Start Point

[exchanged]

... I can wait.

Re: Start Point

[fraternaldevotion]

Did you get the other one?

Re: Start Point

[exchanged]

No, but the horse can probably take us to it.

Re: Start Point

[fraternaldevotion]

. . . A younger version of Chariot told me how to get to the real one. It's supposed to be through here, and he only mentioned a ring.

[and he unlocked a staircase now]

[... to the horse:]

Is his true heart down there?

Re: Start Point

[dramatispersonae]

The horse sniffs at the doorway before tossing its head, then bending down again, offering its back to Sasuke to ride too.

Re: Start Point

[exchanged]

[holding on.]

We can come back here if the horse is wrong. But it hasn't been yet.

Re: Start Point

[fraternaldevotion]

[. . . fine.

let's ride a flaming horse with Silver. Why not.]

All right.

Re: Start Point

[dramatispersonae]

This is totally a normal day in Chariot's heart.

Back to the dome and I guess running into a few other guys on the way as well.

Re: Start Point

[dramatispersonae]

Upon inspection, you can see that the mural is actually more like an etching, with the wall of the main body of the horse protruding from the rest of the stone.

Re: Start Point

[fraternaldevotion]

[. . . is there anything in or on it? moving to touch it :/a]

Re: Start Point

[dramatispersonae]

With the application of pressure, the etching begins to sink into the stone, slowly.

Re: Start Point

[fraternaldevotion]

[doing that, carefully]

Re: Start Point

[dramatispersonae]

The mural continues to indent until there's finally a click; at the same time a portion of the wall opens up, revealing a dark staircase that leads down.

Re: Start Point

[fraternaldevotion]

[. . . OKAY APPARENTLY THIS STAIRCASE WILL HAVE TO WAIT1!!

riding a flaming horse with Silver.]
