CAT GROUP 2

[tormado]

...this stuff is really specific.

[appleofhiseye]

We can probably narrow it down by searching places where we would be likely to find them all though, right?

[infiniteregress]

[Suddenly, the scenery distorts. You feel disoriented - as if someone is picking you up and shaking you. The scenery goes white in a flurry, and you hear something craaaack---]

[And then you're in front of the castle, again. Only... everything looks different. Huger. Twisted, dark. It's difficult to see further than twenty feet in front of you.]

[And you hear a very familiar voice resounding through the entire area (and yet, it's hard to tell where it's coming from. And you feel a chill through your bones). Those with particularly good night vision might see what looks like thin fractures... across the sky? Wha?]

Well, well, my doves. It seems we're playing a secret game today, are we?

[Did you really think you could keep this a secret, Princess]

But no game is complete without a few surprises.

[No breaking up into groups anymore! If you wander away... well... let's just say things will get increasingly unpleasant]

[tormado]

[ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME.]

What're you doing to this place -- stop it!

[unlimitedcoffee]

[ ...that sure was unsettling. He'll take a gnome fight over this bitch any day. ]

I could handle a game or two without your kind of surprises.

[appleofhiseye]

How uncalled for.

[ladychapels]

[ looks like someone didn't appreciate not being invited. ]

[nobilityreceives]

[After Nyssa decides to try to make this Nyssa's wild ride, Princess' voice can be heard clear as day to any of the Cats playing, along with a sense of warmth despite the new chill that's settled over the area:]

Be careful. If you choose to continue playing, I will do my best to stop her from harming you but I cannot guarantee total safety. Please be careful. You are mine, and I am going to make sure she knows this—!

[unlimitedcoffee]

[ That warmth sure is nice after that bitter chill from an unwelcome guest. ]

I'll be keeping on. [ Even if it's just to spite Nyssa because Good Life Choices. ]

[ladychapels]

[ being designated as anyone's doesn't sit comfortably; Wolfwood's expression doesn't cheer. ]

What, you figure we're just going to stop?

[appleofhiseye]

[sets her jaw, clearly annoyed at "mine", but she refrains from commenting on it]

We'll be fine.

[infiniteregress]

Young girls really shouldn't be playing games past their bedtime.

[oh my does that sound ominous]

[tormado]

[Possibly the only one in the group who doesn't seem to mind being called "mine", btw.]

[appleofhiseye]

Alright, who'd like to keep going? We can vote on it if we're supposed to stay together.

[tormado]

The Princess said we should and this just got a lot more dangerous. We should stay together as much as possible.

[Lets out a sigh. He's still pissed. But he holds up the extra pendant around his neck.]

We already found this in the old dorm. So we can cross that off at least.

[unlimitedcoffee]

Our little Princess seems to think we should stay as a group. It's probably safer in larger numbers. If anything dangerous crops up, we can do what's needed to keep safe.

Then again, bigger numbers means a bigger target and I'm not sure if I like walking around as a giant walking target.

[ SO. He'll go with either side. ]

But I do plan on keeping on.

THRONE ROOM

[ladychapels]

[ how much of a royal headache is THIS going to be ]

Re: THRONE ROOM

[soulping]

[The air is getting colder....... you feel the back of your neck prickling]

[Are you sure you want to go in?]

TRIAL 1

[soulping]

[The door clicks shut behind you guys and LOCKS]

[and suddenly.... there's that dizzying feeling, like you're being shaken. And--]

[Suddenly, none of your powers - pendants or otherwise - are working. Suddenly, every single one of you but Holly are feeling very, very, ill. And weak.]

[And most curiously, there are various medicinal plants scattered across the room.... except that no matter how hard Holly tries, she can't identify any of them]

SOUL PODS

[tormado]

[Just fyi, if anybody is still in these things, I am gonna be freaked the fuck out.]

Re: SOUL PODS

[soulping]

[As you enter this room, you don't feel the same cold and prickling sensation as you did entering the throne room.]

[But, uh, it looks like there are people inside....?]

[It's all of you]

Re: SOUL PODS

[nobilityreceives]

WAKE UP, DON'T GO TO SLEEP!!!

DUNGEON

[ladychapels]

[ this is the worst scavenger hunt ever. ]

This is turning into a real wild-goose chase.

Re: DUNGEON

[unlimitedcoffee]

[ Let's hope we aren't walking into a German Dungeon Porn scene. ]

I'd hope we'd have an easier time with that than this hunt.

TRIAL 3

[soulping]

[You're suddenly all separated, in a labyrinth]

[uh oh]

Re: TRIAL 3

[tormado]

[Oh good, my leg is all bette - ah, shit.]

Guys?!

[Tama spins around.]

Shit...guys?! Can you hear me?!
