GULGALLANA

[soulping]

You step into a small airy room made entirely of porcelain and frosted glass. Squishy armchairs — the old fashioned type; pretty velvet affairs with patterns of roses in your team’s color and legs of dark wood — line the walls.

Pride of place in the center of the room is a table, upon which rests: a list of instructions; a spread of cards; and a box made out of mirrored glass with eleven slits in the top. Each slit is outlined in a team color.

Beyond the table is a huge, floor to ceiling hourglass. A certain number of blood red crystals reside at the bottom ...

...Nine points. That's how much we were worth, huh?

[Now she's just... trying to work out the rest of the points...]

[ Ren has a definite look of 'FML' on her face as she looks at their new hand, then... the bank. They could definitely try to shoot to get the shield, but... ]

Ugh.

[beathach]

[welp. He's leaning close to the table to read the cards, since his glasses are MIA thanks to their guest.

And he's . . . making a face]

This isn't good.

[ Ren breathes out a shaky sigh of relief. They made it, but... Fade... and Hank... and Pixel, and even the still-recovering Cross... Heck, she'll even put Diz's busted confidence on that list, because she sure knows that feeling. Oh, and her own hand, of course, which she'd normally be fidgeting with right now.

Then... THE LIST. ]

"Save a Cat?"

Re: END

[beathach]

[oh god it's finally over can we just go home

He's just . . . going to sit down, head in his hands. His eye's bandaged, at least - Panther was kind enough to provide bandages - but he does not look all that great, from . . . everything.

In a mumble:]

If we save a Cat, I have a suggestion.

Re: END

[debate_avenger]

...Save a Cat, huh?

[There's a sigh, and...]

...Of course she would.

Re: END

[hardertheyfall]

Don't worry about regenerating anything on me. And don't worry about saving Armin, Epona will probably do that.

[so i'm at work but consider this a placeholder comment for all your discussing things with tiny fairy queen needs]

[ And boy she hopes someone is in here when she busts (HA) back in, or else she's going to look mighty silly. ]
