ALECTRYON

[soulping]

[You suddenly find yourselves standing at the beginning of a large hedge maze, one with walls that extend so far above your head you're not quite certain where they end. There is no entrance behind you, and the bushes are so thick and full of thorns that attempting to crawl through them will result in numerous scratches]

[There is no way to go but forward]

( with respect, they offer the goat horns to the sphinx. )

Is there anything we can eat here?

Re: DECISION

[The sphinx's mouth curls up into a grin, and it devours the snack you offer it in one large swallow. It licks its massive chops and stretches]

Mmm. . . I suppose I owe you one of these.

[And with a flick of its head, the creature tosses you a pouch filled with one ingredient: a few sprigs of aconite]

As for food. . . aaah, no, the only thing you have to eat is what is in the jars.

[and then the sphinx give a catlike grin]

Or the people who are with you.

Excuse me. Aren't there a number of other people in this maze as well?

Re: DECISION

[soulping]

[a lengthy pause, and the sphinx's tail curls around its body]

Are you telling me you wish to feast upon the bodies of the other teams?

Re: DECISION

[endsintheocean]

No. We do not.

( GONNA BE QUIET ON THIS ONE.

it's a possibility and he wants to know the answer. )

Re: DECISION

[murimurimuri]

It's more that I don't wish to feed upon the bodies of my own team.

Re: DECISION

[soulping]

[the sphinx laughs]

Fear not, young rooster. You have no need to feed now. And if you are still hungry when the game ends, you may have your chance then.

Re: DECISION

[murimurimuri]

Why does that not make me feel any better...

Re: DECISION

[secare]

( catching the pouch. the fuck is this. opening it to inspect it. )

Fuck. Okay. Thank you.

( guess that's the answer. kind of what he was expecting too. fuUUuuUuuck. )
