IOLITE

You find yourself in an unassuming room. It's spacious, though it's fairly empty except for the furniture in the center. There, a collection of chairs are gathered around a large table. ...Or, at least, they're chair- and table-like things. The chairs are made all of one piece, of an unidentifiable plasticky substance, and they're fairly uncomfortable. The table is made of the same substance, and is just a round platform on a pedestal.

On the table, however, are pens and paper, and in the center of the table there's an opaque cloud, spinning slowly in swirls of mist.

Instructions come both as a voice and as words in the mist, and you instinctively know you can answer either by speaking back or by writing down your answer and throwing it into the cloud.

Not particularly. How about 1?

Eight is an auspicious number.

[yes pet me]

Eighty-eight could also be a lucky number.

What is it about eights?

It's the first one that came to mind. I like Obsidian's suggestion, though. A lucky number couldn't hurt.

A little luck wouldn't be amiss. Let's go for it.

It is a bit of a pun: the word for eight in Chinese sounds like a word for prosperity.

How is this related to numbers...? I'd like to "regain memories", myself.
