tile run - group 3

[soulping]

( circumstances have conspired to separate those who went into the maze, splitting them into three groups, with each group taking one fork in the road.

a wisp of light guides them forward, gleefully bobbing up and down, slowing down just enough so it doesn't lose those following it, then speeding off around the next corner as soon as they start to catch up. )

( going through the door, you find yourself in an office. on the desk there is a computer, a notebook and a torn-off piece of paper. there is a bookshelf filled with a multitude of volumes against the left wall. it would be pretty standard, if not for the giant safe floor-to-ceiling wall safe taking up the back wall. )

[I WANT TO READ ALL THE BOOKS. ALL OF THEM]

[soulping]

( checking out the bookshelf, you notice that one volume sticks out further than all the rest, revealing a bright red bookmark stuck between its pages. )

[hunting]

[Okay fine, I will stop my MASS READING to check out that book and open its page]

[soulping]

( the bookmark falls to the floor, but one of the pages - 235 - is also dog-eared to mark its place. )

[hunting]

[Will read?]

[cottoncandyface]

What's with the giant safe?

[soulping]

( candy. surely, it can only contain candy. )

[cottoncandyface]

[ She forgets about the safe as she walks up to the desk, eying the torn piece of paper.]

[soulping]

( checking out the looseleaf paper on the desk—it talks about an emergency stairwell inside the elevator shaft that was down the other way in the hallway. there’s a hand-written note as well about needing an excessive amount of firepower to get past the heavy-duty metal doors... )

Holding something.

[ladychapels]

[ being someone from Gunsmoke, one look at the safe is all she needs to start eyeing that dynamite of Maya's. while ushering everyone inside so they can shut and lock the door behind them. ]

C'mon, c'mon.

[soulping]

( DO YOU WANT TO DIE...? )

[ladychapels]

[ just because she can think like a Gunsmoke redneck doesn't mean she acts like one, geez!

loping over to the desk, since there's shit like scraps of paper and computers over there. ]

[soulping]

( on the computer screen is a vine-style video of a laughing man counting his fingers (but oddly not his thumbs?) and laughing. it’s on a loop, repeating itself over and over.

you also notice there is an UNTITLED.TXT on the start bar. )

[farkle]

[ ...goes to books again because books are always a good place to start. ]

[soulping]

( checking out the bookshelf, you notice that one volume sticks out further than all the rest, revealing a bright red bookmark stuck between its pages. )

[farkle]

[ goes to... open to that, then. ]

[soulping]

( the bookmark falls to the floor, but one of the pages - 235 - is also dog-eared to mark its place. )

[feytality]

[YES]

Told ya guys it'd come in handy!

[soulping]

( no. )

[feytality]

[Let her live]

[unguilded]

There really is a safe...

[feytality]

I know my stuff!

[Gonna start investigating though]

[soulping]

( looks like the rest of the party has already looked around.

ready to look at the safe? )
