TAKSHAKA

[The room you step into looks like it could be a miniature ballroom, complete with stained glass windows and vast, ornate mirrors.

Your team's column is set into one wall, easily accessible but as impregnable as ever. One of the mirrors may prove almost as interesting, if you can tear your eyes away from your trapped teammate. Through it, you are somehow able to see every other team's column and what is inside, though nothing beyond that.

The floor beneath your feet polished, patterned wood, inlaid with the pattern of a grand sundial in your team's colors. In the center of the pattern stands a pedestal, upon which sits a collection of colorful glass ornaments. It looks like there's room for other items, but there's nothing else to be found just yet . . . ]

[Within the column, cold water slowly begins to rise . . .]

—We can't let this happen!

We won't, Finch. Definitely not.

[OH WOW THAT'S COLD.]

Everyone! Please, be careful! Don't do anything rash!

[heading for the ornaments without consulting the others first]

[well, she was already heading for them too—the 25% ones.]

Stop it. This is probably dangerous, so I'll do it.

I don't mind doing it if it's to help her, Swan. I will not allow you to do all of the tasks, either.

I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in arguing.

[he proceeds to pick her up, sling her over his shoulder, and head on over to the ornaments]

[WAS TOTALLY HERE THE WHOLE TIME REALLY also not looking especially health today but shh]

—This is ridiculous.

We need to get her out!

[ WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FUN GAMES? ]

Yes, but not the way she wants us to.

Do you think the glass will break?

((Comment here, ICly, with what your team is choosing to do! Make sure to indicate which ornament, if any, they're breaking, and whether or not they'd like Nyssa's help.))

[SMASHES THE BLACK SWORD ORNAMENT. Because it's a sword, and therefore it can only ever mean good things.]

There's no way I'll need your help.

[The ornament shatters, releasing a fine mist. When it clears, you find a very nice, very sharp sword resting on the pedestal. And also a blowtorch.

Nyssa speaks up:] Your task is to remove an appendage. Arms, legs, hands, or feet, please.

Are you serious.

Completely.

[picks Finch up off his shoulder, sets her down on the floor; he doesn't want any flailing he might do to hurt her.

then before she can stop him he quickly strides over to the sword and the blowtorch]
