> 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:

[ he is panicking about all of this but first of all- ]

Uh, ok, so... why is there a knife here?

[...... he hates this.

Immediately.

And skitters away from the edge he was standing by towards the middle.

Aaaaaaaaah.]


What, knife--

[OH THERE SURE IS.

He skitters away from the knife as well. YIKES.]


... I hate this.

It's too late to go back and try the other door, right? [ BREATHES ] Ok. We're doing this. Whatever... this is supposed to be.
unnames: (A Newspaper-Cutting)

[personal profile] unnames 2019-10-19 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ALSO BREATHES.]

...Well.

There's a paper and a dice.

Looks like a game.

[personal profile] cantdecideonausername 2019-10-19 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ "and a knife"

ok no, don't mention the knife-
]

Also a knife. [ sorry, he can't help himself ] Well the numbers must correspond to the dice. Still don't know about that knife though!

[ knife!!! ]

[AGH.]

...We're not talking about the knife.

[More importantly.

He picks up the paper.]


... Everyone's names are on this, not just ours.

[ or will we?? no, focus chidi- ]

Looks like it. ...Spider-Man is named Peter on this I presume because he's Spider-Man. [ sigh. ] So there's a reward associated to a number roll, but no indication of what the reward is.

[personal profile] unnames 2019-10-19 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[how the fuck do you know that.

??????

... NOT IMPORTANT.]


... Rewards are good, right? I don't see any mention of punishments or anything.
cantdecideonausername: (pic#13525363)

[personal profile] cantdecideonausername 2019-10-19 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, yes, but also no. "Reward" in this context may just be the equivalency of "consequence." It's neutral. We can't say for sure if the reward is good or bad without knowing what it's going to be.

[reaches for him to snag his shoulder]

Easy there. Don't wear yourself out in a place that likely has limited oxygen.

[HA HA. . . HA]

[He stares at her.

With a long stare.

A squawk.]


... Limited oxygen?

[personal profile] plasmastorm 2019-10-19 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
. . . don't start hyperventilating! That won't help!

[rubs his back a li'l. IT'S OKAY, ALICE]

[IT'S OKAY]






[it's not okay]

[personal profile] unnames 2019-10-19 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[... Wheeze.]

It's...fine.

Everything is...fine... [FINE]
plasmastorm: (pic#13525495)

[personal profile] plasmastorm 2019-10-19 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Eeeeeeverything is fine.

[if they both say it, it may become true??]

Let's tackle these puzzles one by one, all right? A cool head is just what all three of us need to get through this predicament.
unnames: (The Pool of Tears)

[personal profile] unnames 2019-10-19 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[wheezes more.]

...Yeah.

Right.

Okay.

Puzzle. Sure. That's what I wanna-- [SHADOW BY THE BOX.

HE JUMPS.]


--w...wanna do. Right now. [FUCK this place.]

[personal profile] plasmastorm 2019-10-19 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[. . . honestly she can't help it. she jumps too, though it's less of a started jump and more of a TRAINED ASSASSIN GETTING READY TO FIGHT jump]

[take your own advice Sara!!]

[her features twist as she settles down again, arms folded over her chest]


. . . of course. It's exactly what we all want to do right now.

[A LITTLE DRY]

[WHEEZE.

Her jumpiness does not help his jumpiness.]

Knife fishing!!

No! Stop, be serious, please!

[ THEY ARE IN A GLASS CASE OF EMOTION UNDER THE SEA ]

[personal profile] plasmastorm 2019-10-19 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[THE GLASS CASE OF EMOTION IS EXACTLY WHY SHE'S FRONTING HARD!!!]

Ooooooh, trust me, I am.

You just wouldn't like my real answer to that question. So let's not dwell on it!
cantdecideonausername: (pic#13525362)

[personal profile] cantdecideonausername 2019-10-19 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, let's... let's not.

[ he swallows and shuts his eyes, trying to pretend like he isn't... here. ]

Ok. What are we doing? We should figure that out first.
plasmastorm: (pic#13525497)

[personal profile] plasmastorm 2019-10-19 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[. . . rubs his back, too. these poor delicate boys]

Whoever left those messages told us we have puzzles to solve. So. . . I suppose we'll just have to wait until the first one begins.

[please don't let the whole, being stuck in a box with a KNIFE be a puzzle in and of itself]

[please]

[personal profile] cantdecideonausername 2019-10-19 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ save them sara, you're the real adult of the group ]

Yeah. And hopefully being in a glass box under the sea is completely unrelated to anything going on right now, and then we get to just... leave.

[ please ]

[HOW DID THIS HAPPEN, SHE JUST WANTS TO GET DRUNK AND LIE DOWN AND STARE AT THE CEILING AND REGRET HER LIFE CHOICES]

Thaaaaat'd be preferable. . .! Let's just. . . take it one step at a time, champ.

One step at a time!
