AMALTHEA

[soulping]

This is a story of friendship and love and life and rebirth. A story about an unending cycle of despair and the poor souls who keep themselves trapped in it, in the hopes that everything will turn out okay in the end.

THE ROOM

[soulping]

You're in a dark, circular room. You can make out eleven doors around the edges, each the colour of one of the teams. ...Except for your own, which seems to be missing.

In the center is a door coloured Cat cream. It won't budge, no matter what you do, so don't bother.

Keep themselves... [ He repeats with a scowl.

And then he looks at those doors, tilting his head. ]

Re: THE ROOM

[forthemackerel]

[ nodding slowly at that, looking at the doors, as well ]

Are we supposed to open them...?

Re: THE ROOM

[unguilded]

Probably.

[ Thinking about something. ]

Maybe we can go clockwise by where every cottage is located? Starting with our own.

Re: THE ROOM

[forthemackerel]

That would mean... we'd look at Vanara's door first?

[ since there isn't an actual Amalthea door and all ]

Re: THE ROOM

[unguilded]

Yep!

[soulping]

Henwen's dorm has a rustic, vaguely dwarven aesthetic. The main room evokes the design of a tavern fashioned with dark wood and stone. Very large passageways branch off into the kitchen and the pantry, both expansive but as old-fashioned as the rest of the dorm. There are no electronic appliances to be found! Instead there's several fireplaces available, some already set up with pots, cauldrons and meat spits, and three wood-fired stone ovens are built into the walls. There's a door in the pantry that leads to a "cold" room for the storage of appropriate food and drink.

Farther down the torch-lit hallways of stone are the bedrooms styled after the main room in terms of color scheme. Also of note are the mirror room and bathrooms.

There is a large, white dragon sleeping in the middle of the main room. It is covered in blood.

The door shuts behind you, and vanishes.

[ IS THE DRAGON LIKE PALETTE-SWAPPED WALDEMAR? ]

[soulping]

[ NO ITS FUCKING SUNSTONE YOU NERD ]

[soulping]

Wait, that should've been in text adventure format.

No, it's fucking Sunstone, you nerd.

[unguilded]

[ OH I REMEMBER SUNSTONE so this should be ... okay...

In that case, he approaches slowly. ] Hey ... are you okay? What happened?

[forthemackerel]

[ doesn't really know Sunstone, but probably saw the dragon around... ]

[soulping]

The dragon cracks open an eye, letting out a mighty, almost defeaning roar. It stands up, plumes of smoke erupting from its mouth. How does it even fit in here?

You feel like you're about to die --

[soulping]

Before it opens its mouth and you hear a child.



W-woah! Is that...Amalthea?!

THE ROOM 2

[soulping]

The cat door is now open. You can hear a child crying on the other side.

Re: THE ROOM 2

[unguilded]

Ah ... should we still stick with Gulgallana for now? And maybe check that out next if we can...

Re: THE ROOM 2

[forthemackerel]

[ hesitating on that. ]

The person crying does sound young..

Re: THE ROOM 2

[unguilded]

Yeah...

Let's go into Cats first.

[ INTO CATS. ]

Re: THE ROOM 2

[soulping]

You open the door, and...

...nothing pours out.

Re: THE ROOM 2

[forthemackerel]

[ giving Rook a very confused look at this ]

THE FINAL BATTLE

[soulping]

You fight through the nothing and find...



Oh, hello, dear hearts.

Re: THE FINAL BATTLE

[unguilded]

[ WONDERFUL.

Immediately on edge, and looking around for anything else? Is there ... anything else but the nothingness and Nyssa? ]

Re: THE FINAL BATTLE

[soulping]

[ Well.

The room comes into focus, and she appears to be surrounded by the shadows of every cat...

...and on the ground, dead, are the Queen and Princess. ]

Re: THE FINAL BATTLE

[forthemackerel]

[ oh.

oh shit. this isn't good at all... ]

Rook... What should we do?

Re: THE FINAL BATTLE

[unguilded]

It's not real-- but we can't just leave them like this!
