Wow... I knew he liked collecting information, but I didn't think he looked this close at things!

[puts it back, note to self: tacklehug swift after this is done. let's head for that gate now. '^']

Coming to the end of the path, you see a tall iron gate, with a basket of blank scrolls hanging from it. The gate's closed, with no latch or lock, but there's a small circular recess jutting out at about the height where one would normally be. You could put something in it, maybe.

[checking out the basket of scrolls!]

Re: aatherside: the hall of names

[dramatispersonae]

They're all blank . . . there's some pens in there, too, and a matchbox.

[hmm... picks up a scroll and a pen and DRAWS HERSELF DRAPING ON SWIFT.

... and then puts it in the recess??]

Re: aatherside: the hall of names

[dramatispersonae]

It doesn't fit at all! It's too large and shallow for the scroll to balance upright, and too small for you to put it in lengthwise.

[f-f-failure.

checks the matchbox out, then. IS THERE ANYTHING IN THERE aside from possibly matches?]

Re: aatherside: the hall of names

[dramatispersonae]

They're just matches.

. . . the depression might be the same size as one of those lanterns, come to think of it . . . .

Re: aatherside: the hall of names

[oceansflower]

[hmm...

goes to get the heliodor lantern, then, and puts it in? since it's already lit and all.]

Re: aatherside: the hall of names

[dramatispersonae]

It fits!

There's a sudden spark--the lantern flares before your eyes, brightly enough that you might have to look away--you hear a soft click.

When you look back at the gate, you'll find it's swung open.

[after she's done looking away for a second, she does a fistpump of VICTORY and heads in.]

As soon as you step through the gate, the scenery warps around you . . . you find yourself somewhere else entirely . . . .
