Dog Game - Group 5

[You're in a small, dark room with no doors. The walls and floor are made of something like cement, though the floor is spread out with brightly-colored towels to make it a little softer (it doesn't help much.) The only light comes from one small window — you can maybe stand on your tiptoes, to see that it shows nothing but a view of a chainlink fence outside. It does not open or break. Despite the uncomfortable surroundings, the atmosphere is peaceful, if a little claustrophobic.

In the center of the floor there's a wide drain. The grate over it has been broken open and there's room for you to fit both hands in, but you feel a crawling apprehension about touching it, which makes sense if you know anything about Aather at all: up to an inch from the floor level it's filled with liquid darkness.

There are bowls next to each of you filled with tiny animal skeletons (they're kind of mousy?) If you touch the bowl, you know instinctively that they contain some of your memories of Aather and which skeleton is which memory. ♥

The Dog's voice in your head is less uncertain than before:]

Hello, hello! We're supposed to — retrieve your memories back from the darkness, right? It was bad darkness to take them! But to get there we have to run and jump with all our other memories and thoughts! Help me get a scent, please—? If you let them loose in the darkness right, I'll be able to follow!

Yes. Throne occupies his room now and I've worked with him and Chariot to compile our collective notes on Aather.

So then this is the start of a third volume for this realm, I suppose.
oneknightstands: Except for a nice MLT, a mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe. (True love is the greatest thing.)

Of sorts, yes. I think it's important to keep those sort of records for future heroes and knights.

Let me know if any of you need help with that. I think it would be good to have a record of our history here, if nothing else so we may look it up should things happen in the future.
oneknightstands: I think everyone will be wearing them in the future. (They're terribly comfortable)

I can show you the draft of waht we have already if you'd like to contribute.

That would be fantastic.
