G R E E N > You enter the door and find yourself in a glass box, suspended in the deep, dark ocean. Darkness surrounds you on all sides and once in a while, the box shakes. It'll be clear enough after a while that that's because of the movement of the water. The deep, dark water that they're surrounded by. Once in a while, something moves in the darkness, unnaturally large and much too close for comfort. Then... the noises. The moans and hisses of things living out there, in the deep. Then the words appear:

I -- I don't know, but I died!

[ god and it was such a stupid death too, so so stupid. all because he was paralyzed with indecision over the most inconsequential choice. which is why he has to make a stand now... while lying down in a glass case with pooling water mixed with blood.

wow this is awful! ]

Sara. Sara -- don't do this. Please. Lets -- Lets all con-contribute.

[plasmastorm]

[this is awful and terrible, but. . .]

[Sara lowers the knife]

. . . soooo. How do we all contribute?

[unnames]

All we have to do is take "something".....

[MMMMM....]

I guess we just have to decide what sort of thing we wanna take.

[cantdecideonausername]

Preferably - not limbs.

[ he breathes in through his nose sharp and looks to the ceiling like it has the answers. ]

Ok. What can we 'take'. Maybe -- not literally.

[plasmastorm]

[. . . well. she looks over at Chidi now, obviously intrigued]

[unnames]

... Yeah. Can we take bad things from each other too?

[cantdecideonausername]

We...

[ breathes in, still in pain, still the crushing weight of the world and also the invisible force. ]

'Take something.' Could mean... taking on, taking off. Maybe... tear off 'something'? Tearing the paper?

[plasmastorm]

[. . . well]

I'm open to it.

[IT'S WAY BETTER THAN CUTTING OFF HER HAND, SHE GUESSES]

[unnames]

... Can't hurt to try, right? Let's try it.

[WHICH MEANS LIKE, SARA OR CHIDI because he is still lacking in most limbs.]

[cantdecideonausername]

Ok. I'll -- I'll do it. It's my idea, so.

[ so he will just. just try to stand by putting his hands on the ground and hmmmrrrghh!! ]

Nope. Can't -- stand. Sara... tear off "something".

[ therefore they 'take something' ]

[plasmastorm]

[god they are pathetic]

Alllll righty then! Come on body, we aren't done yet-- oof.

[it takes Sara GREAT EFFORT to. . . stand again, and she has to use the edges of their glass box to stumble her way towards the paper. that is probably a little soggy right about now]

[EITHER WAY, she's gonna pick it up, and attempt to tear it in two]

[. . .]

[it takes her, like. two tries. because she has no strength. but she manages. . . eventually!!]

[aunter]

SOOOOO
WHAT ARE YOU TAKING?
I'M CONFUSED LOL 😖

[plasmastorm]

[flaps the edge of the paper that says "something" into the air]

I'm taking "something!" From. . . the paper!!

[aunter]

.................... SERIOUSLY?????
THAT'S YOUR ANSWER???????????

[plasmastorm]

Yep!

[wat]

[Chidi had a good idea!!]

It said take "something" so I'm taking "something." Do I have to eat it to make it more clear??

[aunter]

NO
I'M JUST
SURPRISED??????? 🥴
OK I GUESS WE'LL GO WITH THAT LOL

[plasmastorm]

Oh thank Aidios. I didn't actually want to stuff this into my mouth.

[SLUMPING AGAIN]

[SHE'S SO TIRED]

[unnames]

[huffs vaguely and flops back into the water.]

Are we done yet...

[cantdecideonausername]

It was a -- a good idea!

[ he's already dead, just kill him again, he's done! ]
