[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 . . . ]

[The ornament shatters, releasing a fine mist. When it clears, you find a small stoppered bottle resting on the pedestal.

Nyssa speaks up:] Your task is to drink. Have heart, my darling! This poison won’t kill you immediately.

[gandere]

[ Screaming, but thankfully it's drowned out quickly by the water that fills her mouth. Schooler didn't even realize how weak her knees were until they gave out and she frantically moves back up for air.

Just why. WHY GIRLS. ]

[moderndaywhitemage]

[I DID IT FOR YOU and for Maya because she's suffered too much to watch you die

though I guess watching me die will also be bad???

[gandere]

[ This isn't a battlefield.

[gandere]

[ LIKE YOU'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO LIVE WITH YOURSELF NOW??? ]

[moderndaywhitemage]

[no

[infiniteregress]

[It burns like fire on the way down, and you immediately feel a rising fever and nausea. It's not so bad that you can't stand for now, but as time goes on, it will steadily become worse and worse.]

[moderndaywhitemage]

[oh this will end well]

[gandere]

[ OH MY GOD WHY DOES NO ONE LISTEN TO HER. ]
