You hear the sound of a train steadily approaching.

ROOM ONE.

[soulping]

You're inside of a tree. You can hear the buzzing of your HIVEMATES outside, waiting for a human to pass. You were never really much for all the hard work that came with TRICKS. You just want to LAUGH.

For you, the relaxing DARKNESS is enough until then. Still, you can't help but feel like something horrible is about to happen...

...Maybe it has something to do with that SMOULDERING PILE in the corner? ...Yeah. Your HOME catching on FIRE definitely seems like a horrible thing. How did that even happen?

You can look around (not that there's much to see), but really, you only have one choice.

Do you snuff the SMOULDERING PILE out?

>YES
NO

Re: ROOM ONE.

[secretofthefox]

[...bad fire is bad but it's still fire :( And mute pyro is still a pyro.

Isn't there some way to isolate it instead? Like how you put rocks and stuff around a campfire to make sure it doesn't spread out of control and stuff.]

Re: ROOM ONE.

[crowing]

( i'm not bleeding??? you're bleeding!! stop looking at him. spitting blood onto the ground. )

I don't care! Let it burn!

Re: ROOM ONE.

[3g]

[ yes fire is not his friend. granted, he can't do much, but he's trying to put it out. ]

Re: ROOM ONE.

[dontcallmedarling]

[HE'S FINE, IT'S FINE, THERE'S ONLY A LITTLE BLOOD, MOST OF IT IS MINE IT'S NO BIG DEAL]

...Is the fire there for some reason? It has to be... right...?

[Taking deep breaths through his mouth cause somebody whose name rhymes with drown mucked up his nose.]

DECISION.

[soulping]

Re: DECISION.

[3g]

[ so uh

they're not putting it out entirely, but they are doing their best to contain it thanks to sol being a pyro and knight.

crown is peeing on it. and epsilon is uselessly cheering him on.

SO TECHNICALLY A NO BUT HEY IF THERE'S A THIRD OPTION. WE'RE DOING THE ATTEMPTED CONTAIN THING. ]

ROOM TWO.

[soulping]

HUMANS are so much fun! TRICKS are great and all, but they have such great games of their own. Besides, they're pretty good at TRICKING themselves.

It's pretty funny, really. Maybe leaving your HIVE was a good idea.

Last night, the HUMANS you're with started up a CAMPFIRE. Of course, they're never comfortable in the DARKNESS. That's just the sort of creature they are.

Huh...it seems like they left it burning, though. They're leaving now. They actually just left their tents and food and really basically everything else here. Weird.

You can look around, but really, you only have one choice.

This seems kind of dangerous, in the middle of a forest, doesn't it? Maybe you should put the CAMPFIRE out.

Re: ROOM TWO.

[3g]

[ humans ARE pretty fun to mess with. ]

What the hell?

Re: ROOM TWO.

[secretofthefox]

[NOPE he is sitting in that fire and adding his own and making sure that by his own power it doesn't spread anywhere

it's not like he'll be hurt by it

this is a pissed off pyro who is emotionally exhausted and tired of this crap, don't you go putting out fires around him that can be contained to not hurt anybody :/]

Re: ROOM TWO.

[dontcallmedarling]

What in blue blazes...?

[WHAT IS HAPPEN.]

...No, no, this isn't right - stay alert. Stand guard.

[REFUSING. NOPE. YOU CAN'T MAKE HIM.]

DECISION.

[soulping]

Re: DECISION.

[dontcallmedarling]

Rats are once again refusing to put out the flame.

Sol is keeping it well-tended, Knight and Eps are trying to stand guard over it, and Crown is eating the humans' food.

ROOM THREE.

[soulping]

The HUMANS led you to a HUMAN TOWN. It's so different from the HIVE! Everything is so much more exciting, and busy, and there's so many things to see...

It seems like some HUMANS aren't as happy as you, or your HIVEMATES. But maybe that's the price of being HUMAN. It's interesting, anyway. You think you'll stay here for awhile. There's a lot of nice shops with things to play with, and cute children, and even a neat tree you could maybe hollow out.

You can look around, but really, you only have one choice.

...There's a blacksmith, and their FORGE is...well, the light is attractive. You stay near it sometimes, at night. And you like to watch them work. But isn't all that FIRE really dangerous? Maybe you should put the FORGE out?

Re: ROOM THREE.

[secretofthefox]

[LOLNOPE

HE HAS BEEN WAY TOO TIRED FOR THIS SINCE THE DAY HE TOOK THAT SIGNEG

HE IS NOT DOING THIS

HE IS R E F U S I N G

HE IS SITTING ON THAT FORGE AND KEEPING IT LIT

TVAISTAR HELP HIM]

Re: ROOM THREE.

[3g]

[ This is starting to genuinely fuck with him.

Humans are already too confusing.

The forge is tempting, but... no. The kid looks pretty intent on it.

Should probably leave it to him.

With much groaning and rubbing at his head, though. What a pain in the ass. ]

Re: ROOM THREE.

[dontcallmedarling]

[No... no fuck, this doesn't feel right. Something's wrong. Who are these people? There's... no.

no no no no no what is this...]

...The forge is contained... it shouldn't be put out. It definitely shouldn't, right...?

Re: ROOM THREE.

[crowing]

( FUCK ALL THESE SCRUBS.

is that a tree??? yoooo. that's a tree. LET'S TRY TO HOLLOW THAT SHIT OUT. )

DECISION.

[soulping]

Re: DECISION.

[dontcallmedarling]

Even with no memories of each other...

Ratatoskr still refuses.

(Crown is hollowing out a new home.)

ROOM FOUR.

[soulping]

You've been here for awhile, living amongst them. It's been fun, but...the HUMANS have started to get a bit scary. It's starting to not be so fun, anymore. They mass produce their goods in buildings full of fire and screaming metal, and the ones who sell them don't seem to care about the ones who make them.

They don't like playing with you as much, anymore. You think some of them have even stopped trusting you. You don't understand why. You've learned to build like they do, to live like they do, to have fun like they do...

You want to go home.

But first, you have one choice. There's something you need to do. Downstairs, there's a man, maimed and wounded, and in so much pain. Pain. They taught you what that was. Humans don't like it. Maybe you snuff out the man's pain?

Re: ROOM FOUR.

[3g]

[ Did the humans take it? That sounds like something they'd do. They took him, tore him apart, put him back together again—somewhere in there, he forgot what he cared about.

He knows that the thing he cared about was torn apart just as much as he was.

Humans don't like pain? Sucks for them. This one might deserve it. ]

He'll get over it.

[ He does sound colder than usual, but still... angry. Cranky is his default anyway. ]

DECISION.

[soulping]

Read this one very carefully. c:

[dontcallmedarling]

Staring at the human, the group, unknowable to each other, with nothing left of their most precious thing...

Even still, Ratatoskr refuses.

ROOM FIVE.

[soulping]

Something went wrong.

Maybe you should snuff out the flame.

Re: ROOM FIVE.

[3g]

[ Just because something is wrong doesn't mean you get rid of it.

Actually, that's a very bad idea.

It will come back to bite you. ]

DECISION.

[soulping]

Re: DECISION.

[secretofthefox]

Sol refuses.
