TAKSHAKA

[soulping]

[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.]

If we use the hook and the rope, we won't fall.

[SHAKES HIS HEAD 8(]

It's—I don't... like the idea of going down tall things like that, though. Even with support.

Re: DISCUSSION

[takewing]

[takes his hand gently.]

It's all right. If you don't want to go, we won't force you.

Re: DISCUSSION

[pchaaair]

I would be holding you guys up, though.

Re: DISCUSSION

[takewing]

[shakes her head]

You're more important than a game. Though, if we went back down, we could perhaps find some other way to cross, if that would be all right?

Re: DISCUSSION

[pchaaair]

I ... guess ... if you want to.

Re: DISCUSSION

[takewing]

If you don't, say so.

Re: DISCUSSION

[pchaaair]

It's okay. I can do what you guys want to do, too.

Re: DISCUSSION

[takewing]

You're certain?

Re: DISCUSSION

[pchaaair]

...Kind of? Yes.

Re: DISCUSSION

[takewing]

[HANDSQUEEZE.]

Then let's give it a try.

Re: DISCUSSION

[pchaaair]

[nods '^']

Okay. We can definitely try.

Re: DISCUSSION

[takewing]

We could go back down to the base of the cliff and use our items instead of crossing up here.

Re: DISCUSSION

[pchaaair]

... If you are sure, I think... I would prefer that...

Re: DISCUSSION

[takewing]

I'm sure!

Re: DISCUSSION

[pchaaair]

Let's do that, then.

Re: DISCUSSION

[takewing]

[fluffs his hair lightly]

[AND BACK DOWN WE GO]

Re: DISCUSSION

[pchaaair]

[LET'S... LET'S DO THIS '^']

Re: DISCUSSION

[takewing]

[Once they're down . . . !]

Let's see . . . There are trees we could anchor the rope to, and we can use the rope to anchor ourselves. You could ride on somebody's shoulders, if you'd like.

[not going to mention she's a poor swimmer and an aquaphobe]

Re: DISCUSSION

[pchaaair]

[WE'RE TOTALLY WINNERS HERE AREN'T WE]

Um. Let's ... use the rope definitely, and anchor the rope to it. For safety. And—... I think the only one that could carry me is Swan, because my legs are heavy. So, if I am careful, I can ... probably do it.

Re: DISCUSSION

[takewing]

[TOTAL WINNERS.]

We'll be right there with you if you need help.

Re: DISCUSSION

[barrette]

[ leaning in because listening in on teammates talking- ]

I'm a solid swimmer, so I can carry anyone else.

Re: DISCUSSION

[takewing]

Oh, you are?

Re: DISCUSSION

[barrette]

Uh-huh! And Swan can at least float.

Re: DISCUSSION

[takewing]

I'm . . . something of a poor swimmer, but I do remember learning how to do it.
