CARNELIAN

You're standing together on what seems to be the main street of a small village, paved with cobblestones, with low buildings standing silent on either side. If you look in any of them, you'll find them dark and empty.

In contrast to the Ring, it's rather chilly. The sky is slate-grey, and it seems like there's snow falling, blanketing you and the village in pure white. On closer inspection, the snow turns out to be ash – but the bleaching is literal. Even when you brush it off, your skin, your hair, your clothes, and your keys remain ash-coloured.

A single, feeble light flickers further down the street.

We could probably go back and do the other two doors from the first set, too.

[ nods . . . ]

Maybe we should just divvy them up and do that . . .

There was "hands" and "mind" back there. You and I can go back for those now or later.

Let's do them now . . . Do you have a preference?

I'll do hands. If it involves fire, I probably have better tolerance for it.

All right.

[I GUESS WE DO THAT IN ROUND 1'S PART THEN IDK]

[ that wasn't fun at all ]

. . . so . . . what door now . . .

[eh w/e it's just a flesh wound]

We could still do all three this round, so ... maybe hands, since that guy's throwing a fuss.

Sounds . . . good.

You gonna be okay?

[ . . . wobble . . . ]

Fine!

... uh huh.

Well I don't want to do hands if I'm doing it. ...I'll just keep doing heart!!

You don't have to do it -- we should see what the task is, first.

[huff!!!!]

Fine.

If you don't want to, I don't mind doing them, either.

You seem good at them.

I'm used to taking some hits.

So there you go!

... do you want me to take your part, then?

Because they're less hard? I think we all have to go in though.

[ shrug ]

If we do them all then we'll get more points and your effort will really mean something.

...Well okay! [APPEASED]
