[Once through the gate, you’re in a dark, dark hall. The only way to go is forward.
Continue?]
Continue?]
[The hall opens up into a large arena. The moon shines bright enough to light it, but there are lanterns around the edge. The arena is entirely filled with deep water, in which….plush sharks appear to be swimming.There are also wooden platforms floating in the arena, fairly far apart. There is one bridge across, but a Minotaur stands in the middle of it, blocking the way forward. He nods to the team, and gestures for them to come talk to him.]
[ side-eyeing the sharks so hard ]
Hullo...?
Hullo...?

[ actually can't help but laugh a little now ]
Pfft... Oh no, not sharks... I-I'm shaking in my boots...
[ Procyon you could stand to take this a little more seriously ]

Eeeeeh, I wouldn't take it so lightly if I were you...they could suddenly become real sharks and devour us whole. It would be in character for one of these Echoes.

[ shrugs as his laugh dies down to a snicker ]
After the last game, I wouldn't doubt it... But I doubt that Echo would make them look like stuffies though, innit?

Perhaps. But this way, we wouldn't even see it coming.

True.
So, we have to go through him to get across, I take it.

[ she regards the minotaur for a few moments ]
Do you suppose this will be a physical task, or a tricky one? [ riddles and the like ]

Could be both... [ mythology being what it is and all ]
He doesn't look like he's revving up to throttle us.

In that case, it might be beneficial to open dialogue with him.
[ annnnnd gonna approach the minotaur ]
...excuse me, sir.

Equivalent offer? [ turning to procyon ] This would be easier if it wasn't just the two of us, at the moment...

[ nods. turning to the minotaur again ]
what kind of things are equivalent, do you figure?
[ might as well get the conditions before they make any dumb decisions ]

Hmmm...will we be able to backtrack at all, sir? If one of us remains behind, may the other return back here to switch places? Or reclaim our rose?
[ eyeing the water. are the sharks really only stuffed animals. muttering to andromeda ]
What's keeping us from swimming across?
[ NO PROCYON BAD DOG ]

Are you quite sure?

[ EQUALLY FRUSTRATED ]
Would you rather I go?
