❧ Coral (Game 23)

[dramatispersonae]

You find yourselves in an ornate garden maze, hedges towering high above your head. If you continue to look up, you’ll see a dark sky, glittering with bright stars in unrecognizable constellations. The moon is full and bright. The leaves of the hedges are dense and dark green, riddled with bunches of tiny white flowers and the occasional cluster of red berries.

There are four exits around in the hedge around you, and a gazebo hung heavily with blossoming vines in the center of the small clearing. The air is hushed and quiet; your voices are clear, but other sounds are muffled, as if unwilling to break the silence.

[You follow the path along, gravel crunching softly beneath your feet. The air is quiet, but warm, and sweet-smelling. The flowers here are blue and bright.]

[You come across the first fork in the road.]

[The path seems to be sloping downwards slightly, getting narrower. You'll have to walk single file, or get really really comfortable.]

[You begin to hear a whispering sound. It's quiet at first—a hushed rustling. Whispers, the brush of fabric on fabric, the rolling of waves—?]

Water up ahead.

Re: ❧ WEST

[scalesfromeyes]

It's a little ominous, don't you think?

Re: ❧ WEST

[hello_hunnies]

Well I can kind of swim.

Re: ❧ WEST

[scalesfromeyes]

It sounds almost like people whispering.

Re: ❧ WEST

[neversaydie]

Uhhh...

Re: ❧ WEST

[scalesfromeyes]

Haha, just a bit!

Re: ❧ WEST

[hello_hunnies]

Maybe it's the tons of hot hunnies in the tower waiting for us.

Re: ❧ WEST

[scalesfromeyes]

Oh, I'm not sure I'd like that.

Re: ❧ WEST

Re: ❧ WEST

[myeyeonyou]
