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:

E--Eye.

[ chidi can barely talk anymore with the crushing weight on him and he can't really get up either. they're all going to diiiiiieeee ]

[unnames]

[They are totally all going to die.

Alice... sighs, slumping back into the water.

Eye. Okay. Focus, Alice.]

... Is that all it says?

[plasmastorm]

[THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY GOING TO DIE]

That's all that it says.

[. . .]

Well. If we need to take something, I know precisely what it is I want.

[anyway she's gonna, like. half limp, half shamble her way towards the knife to pick it up now]

[cantdecideonausername]

[ chidi grunts and tries to prop himself up on his arms (surprisingly jacked arms, chidi is ripped) and just in time to see sara taking the knife. ]

Sa--ra. Sara, be ca- careful.

[unnames]

[UHHHHHH.

Alice kind of rolls over a little, which is about the best he can do.]

What--what are you doing? Sara--

[plasmastorm]

[whirls around, stumbling through the water, splashing it everywhere. she is SOAKED from head to toe and there is still BLOOD all over her clothes and her memories are gone and she can barely move without getting winded, but]

[she is]

[brandishing the knife]

[at the eye]

I'M GONNA TAKE THAT GODDAMN EYE BECAUSE IT'S REALLY PISSING ME OFF!!

[and then she, like]

[throws the knife at the eye]







[it's the wimpiest throw]

[cantdecideonausername]

SARA!

[ AAAAAH ]

[unnames]

[.... Alice just sadly slumps back into the pooling water. And mumbles into it:]

Can we try to figure out the stupid riddle order thing now?

[plasmastorm]

[the knife bounces off the glass with a useless "chink" and falls back into a puddle of water]

[. . .]

[Sara shambles over to pick it up, and then slumps back into a sitting position again. her knife B(]

[cantdecideonausername]

[ chidi just. flounces back down, breathing out in pain and relief. they're all going to die, this is how it ends, whhhyyy. ]

We're -- going to die!

[unnames]

... 's a no then...

[He is so tired.

So so tired, and there's still so much he has to think about but--]

Look... we only have a few choices right? We can only take something from each other or from this shitty place, but what is there to take from this place?

[Sara already grabbed the knife. That didn't seem to help. Except that he really dreads the fact that he thinks the knife is supposed to be used.]

[plasmastorm]

[YES. SHE HAS THE KNIFE. she has the knife for a reason]

. . .

No. There's one other place from which we can take something. Isn't there?

[cantdecideonausername]

Is there?

[ chidi isn't super useful, sorry, but then he rethinks sara's words with a furrowed brow. he swallows and musters up his strength to respond- ]

Do you... mean the-- the other group?

[unnames]

[............ UHHHH

yeah pls explain sara]

[plasmastorm]

[to Chidi]

That's exactly what I mean.

[. . .]

[forcefully]

We aren't going to die here. Not if I can help it. I don't expect you boys to agree with this decision, but--

If it must be made, then I'll make it and take full responsibility for it later.

[cantdecideonausername]

But -- But how! How -- How do we-- [ he breathes in, straining hard from both the thought and the logistics- ] What's your plan?

[unnames]

[HE'S NOT SURE HE LIKES THIS AT ALL.]

Wait--

[not that he has any good arguments against but--]

That's not... [It doesn't feel right--not that he wants anything taken from Sara or Chidi either, but--]

[plasmastorm]

[a breathless laugh. she is definitely noticing the way Chidi and Alice hesitate, and she can't help but think. . . they're good people. much better than she will ever be, right. . .?]

Well. . .! I suppose technically I'll have to ask for permission.

[tilts her head back and yells]

Helloooooo! Mysterious game master!! I'd like to take the right hand of that suave and handsome butler on the red team, if you'd be so kind!

[WHY DOES SHE IMMEDIATELY GO FOR DISMEMBERMENT]

[aunter]

HI LOL
NO CAN DO 🤣😉🙃
FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS TBH
MOSTLY THAT IT'S ALREADY GONE LOL 🤭

[plasmastorm]

[. . . . . . . . . . . . . OH]

[WELL]

Wow! What a bummer. Someone beat me to it!

What about the right hand of Mr. Spidey? I believe Chidi said his name was Peter?

[aunter]

ALSO GONE 🤐

[plasmastorm]

[WOW WHAT THE FUCK]

[. . .]

Ooookay. I'm rethinking my plan.

[lifts knife]

[. . .]

[glances at Chidi and Alice]

If you're squeamish you might want to look away. . .!

[unnames]

No wait--don't!

[He has no arms to fling out but he's shaking his head fiercely.]

... Take it from me.

[plasmastorm]

[-- what]

Alice--?

[cantdecideonausername]

No! No, no. [ he makes a loud 'gah', not even using his energy for anything but trying to still talk. ] From me.

[ alice is paper and sara has suffered enough, it has to be him. ]
