[You enter a bedroom in a normal suburban house with another person (or people). There’s a door to the right that leads into the rest of the house. This room is neat, obsessively so – if you spent hours looking, you wouldn’t find a speck of dirt or an item out of place. It contains a bookshelf, a window, a desk with a lamp and a record player set on it, and a bed. Soothing classical music is playing softly from the record player, though it’s only one small section of a piece that’s being replayed every two minutes or so. Still, everything here seems very normal, giving off a calming feeling…
Until you notice a closet. The corner it’s located in is the only dark place in the room, and something about it seems ominous. It seems as though a draft is coming from that area.]
[ This is Aoko's fourth shadow dungeon in a row, but she's determined not to let the exhaustion drag her down just yet. With a deep breath to rally herself, she immediately edges over to examine the closet. ]
[You hear the next area before you can see it. Booming, upbeat dance music is leaking out of huge speakers at the front of the room. Unsurprisingly, the layout is that of a club; the lights are lowered and flicker on and off in a strobe fashion. The air is thick with – is that smoke, or is it coming from a fog machine? It’s impossible to tell, but it masks almost everything. As soon as you walk into this place, you feel… different somehow. More carefree, less worried and concerned - but that also means you’re slightly numb to everything.
As the lights keep flashing on and off, you can gradually make out a piano and a stage with a boy sitting on the edge. He smiles and waves at you at his spot right next to one of two very large speakers in the room. There’s a microphone behind him.
It’s too dark to make out anything other than that, however.]
[He's immediately holding his head as he enters - pounding music? Flashing lights? Not exactly something a medieval dude who's more comfortable in leather and plate is used to.]
[The first thing you notice about this room is that it’s on fire.
However, the flames don’t seem to grow or move; they simply stay in place, not fading or advancing. This room is so hot, uncomfortably hot. You don’t want to stay here - no, you need to escape. That thought is nearly overwhelming. Just when you think you’ll go mad with the desire to run away…
The walls begin to shrink around you, pushing you towards the flames. There are objects scattered around you, but that hardly seems as important as stopping yourself from burning, does it?]
[ Aoko flinches back, clutching the opal tightly in her hand. She needs, she needs—she's got to … ]
Opal! [ She has to help her friend. ] Hang in there! You're not alone, and none of it ... none of what happened was your fault! [ Despite the heat, despite the fear, she reaches out to grab the labcoat. ]
[You finally make it out of the shrinking room, and find yourself… in a dungeon? You’re sitting on the cold, hard floor, and one of your arms is firmly chained to the stone wall. You immediately realize that whatever powers were taken from you when you entered have now been returned.
Beyond the bars of your cell, you can see Opal sitting and watching you thoughtfully.]
