Amethyst - Game 198

[dramatispersonae]

You find yourself standing in a small, snowy clearing in a pine forest. It's nighttime and bitterly cold, moreso than Camelot; the stars go on forever, and there's a very bright full moon. You can see quite easily. There's a stone archway behind you, and through it you can see the Ring, still with the tables full of mead laid out. Scattered around the clearing are twenty-four free-standing wooden doors, carved and polished. They don't seem like they'd lead anywhere if you opened them, but well, #personae.

[sorry I'm going to see if I can get that man/body down from the tree]

Re: Room Selection

[dramatispersonae]

The rope is very firmly knotted around the branch, and as you jostle it--

--you feel a hand on your arm? The corpse is moving? The man is shaking his head and smiling?

--or maybe you're just hallucinating the longer you're touching the tree, that is a distinct possibility...

[I HATE DISORIENTING GAMES guess that's a sign to back off though]

Tch... What was that about potential?

Re: Room Selection

[everfixedmark]

[Staring at that]




[belatedly] It seems to show opposite options. Here. Either or... that's potential.

Re: Room Selection

[silverbulletkun]

Options?

[watching the man]

Dead or alive, the noose is a constant. There was only one 'option' taken here- someone attempted to kill this man.

Re: Room Selection

[everfixedmark]

Ah... if you think so...

Re: Room Selection

[silverbulletkun]

[sorry I can get kind of intense about MURDERS]

The most important thing here is the one thing that's missing- the truth behind what happened to him.

Re: Room Selection

[everfixedmark]

"The unknown", maybe?

Re: Room Selection

[silverbulletkun]

They're the same thing in this case. I doubt the Persona will allow the truth to be revealed to us here.

[paintbrush time; this time he's just... painting a big red '?' in the air, SINCE THAT IS A THING YOU CAN DO apparently]

Re: Room Selection

[aheroemerges]

[man that hanging guy is really distracting]

That... yeah, I guess I can get that. Like different possibilities, right?

Re: Room Selection

[everfixedmark]

That's what I'd thought.

Re: Room Selection

[silverbulletkun]

[as you probably heard I disagree with this view]
