Game 51 - Group #8

[dramatispersonae]

[ You're inside a dome :|b The walls are high and gently sloped -- the whole room must be twenty feet in diameter. In the middle of the room are a set of scales -- they are uneven. Three pebbles are on one side and nine on the other. There are three doors on the wall opposite you (past the scales). Each door is made of dark wood and has gold lettering.]

JEALOUSY RAGE FULFILLMENT

(ooc: Please move as quickly as possible through the first parts of the game; the quicker you get through them, the more time you'll have to complete objectives later. The group must all go through the same door. Please join #themehospital on IRC so I can ping you/be pinged if necessary ♥! Your gamerunner is AJ.)

CHOICE

[dramatispersonae]

[ You've entered a small room with padded walls. Yes, they are actually padded -- like a dark red velvet quilt! … on the wall. A single lightbulb hangs from a black cord illuminating the walls.

In front of you is a single picture -- framed with a gold frame -- with a plaque hanging beneath it. Next to the plaque is a small mesh square. An arrow points to the square and there is white lettering next to the arrow "speak your answer here". ]


Jealousy is for John who fell in love quite hard. He went around to all the girls he thought he loved and on their faces he rubbed a bit of lard.

And then he set them on fire so no one else could have them. What would you do with John?

THE SHUTTLE

[dramatispersonae]

[ The first thing you probably notice is the cold. You are standing in the foyer of what might have been a palace. A palace made of ice. Behind you the doors creeeaaak shut. In front of you is what could be a firepit -- if you replaced the fire with ice.

Around the firepit are four "statues". Three are of women -- one with sword, one with scale and one with scissors. The last is just an oblong mass that might have been a person at a point and time. They statues are facing away from the firepit.

Curving up towards the ceiling behind the firepit -- past the statues, etc -- are two stairways. They are each leading .... somewhere...

All around are fragments of what might have been part of statues. Or perhaps simply frozen people long ago broken apart and forgotten . . .? ]

[so, if I'm really smart and really stubborn, how long would it take me to get enough statue fragments to figure out what it was?]

THE SHUTTLE: feather down

[dramatispersonae]

[ a bedroom? white sheets, white walls, white furniture . . . there's a little girl's bed, a desk with several items, a trunk . . . and then a door covered in chains.

'don't go out' is written in pale pink on the door. ]

Re: THE SHUTTLE: feather down

[sharksong]

[Unsettling . . .

Goes to see if she can open the trunk first]

Re: THE SHUTTLE: feather down

[yourpeacock]

[goes check out the desk and any drawers it has]

Re: THE SHUTTLE: feather down

[lightmyfire]

[while everyone else does the poem thing I'm going to look at the chains, and maybe tug on them a bit]

THE SHUTTLE: through the rabbit hole

[dramatispersonae]

[ You must be in the basement of the palace. A prison. . .? There are skeletons chained to the walls. Scraps of hard bread on the floor. Mouse corpses are also there. You're behind bars \:D/

And something is . . . dripping? You can hear it, anyway.]

[lands in a heap, somehow managing to not impale himself on his sword]

Oof!

THE SHUTTLE: choice

[dramatispersonae]

[ Dooowwwnnn the hallway until you are in a room made out of pearl :o The walls are pearl and the floor is and gosh it is warm and weird in here. The air tingles. . .

In front of you is a statue of Three and three buttons:

RESTORE RESET KILL ]

Re: THE SHUTTLE: choice

[fairlyheroic]

[. . . what the]

Re: THE SHUTTLE: choice

[sharksong]

. . . We should hit restore, right?

Re: THE SHUTTLE: choice

[lightmyfire]

[this is surprisingly straightforward]

[looking at the kill button. Looking hard.]

Re: THE SHUTTLE: choice

[fallinflames]

[i can't believe that actually worked]

... what is this...

Re: THE SHUTTLE: choice

[springtime]

[ probably wet and with bloody shoes??? ]

I don't want to press "kill" in case it kills us. I don't want to reset, because that sounds like it would make this useless...

[ sits down on the floor and yawns ]
