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: |

SUPER HAPPY ABOUT ALL THIS
FIRST PUZZLE IS ABOUT TO START
LMK IF YOU NEED ANYTHIIIIING 🤣
[ There will be a small table in the middle of the room with a 12 sided dice and an incredibly sharp hunting knife next to it.
Then a sheet of paper that says:

SARA: 1 & 12
CHIDI: 2 & 11
ALICE: 3 & 10
PETER: 4 & 9
SEBASTIAN: 5 & 8
JAMIE: 6 & 7 ]

Uh, ok, so... why is there a knife here?
no subject
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.
no subject
no subject
...Well.
There's a paper and a dice.
Looks like a game.
no subject
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!!! ]
no subject
...We're not talking about the knife.
[More importantly.
He picks up the paper.]
... Everyone's names are on this, not just ours.
no subject
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.
no subject
??????
... NOT IMPORTANT.]
... Rewards are good, right? I don't see any mention of punishments or anything.
no subject
no subject
Easy there. Don't wear yourself out in a place that likely has limited oxygen.
[HA HA. . . HA]
no subject
With a long stare.
A squawk.]
... Limited oxygen?
no subject
[rubs his back a li'l. IT'S OKAY, ALICE]
[IT'S OKAY]
[it's not okay]
no subject
It's...fine.
Everything is...fine... [FINE]
no subject
[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.
no subject
...Yeah.
Right.
Okay.
Puzzle. Sure. That's what I wanna-- [SHADOW BY THE BOX.
HE JUMPS.]
--w...wanna do. Right now. [FUCK this place.]
no subject
[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]
no subject
Her jumpiness does not help his jumpiness.]
... What do we do...?

Knife fishing!!
[sara they can't fish while they're trapped in a box]
no subject
[ THEY ARE IN A GLASS CASE OF EMOTION UNDER THE SEA ]
no subject
Ooooooh, trust me, I am.
You just wouldn't like my real answer to that question. So let's not dwell on it!
no subject
[ 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.
no subject
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]
no subject
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 ]
no subject
Thaaaaat'd be preferable. . .! Let's just. . . take it one step at a time, champ.
One step at a time!
