ALECTRYON

[When the game starts you find yourselves on a platform. At least this part is pretty relaxing as it's large enough to fit a table with six (or seven) chairs around and that may be the place you want to sit at for now. There's several pieces of parchment laying on the table and a box in the center.

Of course, if you were careful you might want to pay attention to what's before you. Because immediately after the platform is a slide that ends in a pit of water? That turns into a dark forest. In what looks like a mile across is another large platform, presumably the end. Though that's all you can see right now.]

ROUND SEVEN

[soulping]

Unfortunately, the book had to be left behind!

But now you're going through a tight tunnel. Sounds of dripping and rattling chains seem to be coming from no where and you can't even see a light ahead! Turning back gives the same thing.

To make matters worse as you progress you begin to LOSE CONFIDENCE in yourself. It's like the darker it gets the more you struggle. TALKING about things and BELIEVING in each other seems to be the remedy.

[....]

[He does not recognize this feeling.]

[At. All.]

[SO HE IS JUST GOING TO WALK FORWARD.]

[And get more twitchy and frustrated and wanting to BURN EVERYTHING because that is clearly the reasonable and rational reaction to when you're losing surety in yourself.]

[hungryman]

Hngh... it's not too different from outside our dorm.

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

Hn.

[Just marching forward, head swiveling to look where sounds are coming from, but he's not stopping.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[hungryman]

We got this far. Just keep an ear out for things coming towards us. Even if it turns out to be a tiny cat again.

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

That would be lovely.

[I could kill it this time.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[hungryman]

Lovely...? Compared to a regular beast, yeah.

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

He wouldn't already have claim on a new beast.

Re: DISCUSSION

[hungryman]

[He doesn't really know what you mean by that, but he also mostly doesn't care at the moment.]

[so he responds with a noncommittal grunt]

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

[We are the best communicators.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[hungryman]

[we really are]

[If getting back my memory wasn't so important this determination would probably falter from the effects going on here. H-hooray Otacon.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

[Go Otacon.]

[Meanwhile he just wants to burn everything at this point and I couldn't burn things BACK THERE, so forward it is.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[untilitsleeps]

[where did loli come from WHO CARES]

This could be frightening.

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

[Oh, you're here.]

If there's something dangerous, we'll just kill it.

[No one's taken the sword from him.]

[Which really was a mistake.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[untilitsleeps]

[well don't look at me, I don't know that I could lift that]

Let's hurry.

Re: DISCUSSION

[hungryman]

Yeah. Keep an ear out for anything coming at us. It's harder to see the deeper we go.

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

I'm aware. Nothing will get close.

[His defense and stamina are shit, but at least he's got a good offense.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[untilitsleeps]

[i'm just gonna keep close here]

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

[Surely you're in the safest place.]

SUBMIT

Re: SUBMIT

[hungryman]

And so our party, now strengthened by another, soldiers forward into the dark tunnel with burning determination (or determination to burn) despite the darkness. Cautious of what could leap at them in the dark, they take each step carefully but without hesitation.
