soulping | RATATOSKR & OMETOTCHTLI

[You exit the parlor through a doorway in your team's color and find yourself in some kind of entry hall. Aside from the one behind you, there are four doors - one on each of the side walls, and two opposite the entrance - each with an image carved into it. They're a bit hard to make out, however, since only one torch on the far wall is lit, lending the place a gloomy atmosphere. What you can see is that the room, once richly decorated, is now a mess; the walls are covered in peeling, royal purple wallpaper, and great swaths of the ceiling are coated with sticky cobwebs. The floor is covered with large marble tiles, inlaid with some kind of swirling design in glittering gold - but sadly, it too is out of shape. The tiles seem to shift a bit under your weight, and some of them are even missing altogether.

If you try the doors you'll find that all of them are locked, and no amount of manhandling can get them to budge.]

[OOC: This game is a treasure hunt/dungeon crawl! Your characters will be exploring the rooms they pass through and facing different challenges in each one. Some rooms will be exploratory, others will have specific rules! The goal is just to reach the end. Teams will be scored on things like teamwork, cleverness, creativity, etc.

Skills are ON, but there will be penalties if you mess up Knut's castle. He lives here, you know!]

[It's already on, after Zelos messed with it earlier. Looks like it's got a mostly full battery, too.

And for the record it's not a smartphone, but it's not ancient either. A decent model.]

[I'm from the future, this is totally old school.]

[Okay, but checking usual things. Contacts, messages, menu, etc. Looking for anything odd.]

[The contacts list only has a few standard numbers- "Doctor", "Mom", "Work", etc. Nothing unusual in the menus either, and no voicemails. There is only one recent text:

yo the groups meetin at 1, see u there. dont 4get to feed angel b4 u leave!!]

[Mom. '-']

[What time is it anyway? =O]

[....also gonna try calling the doctor because WHY NOT.]

[It is currently about 12:45.

Calling the doctor gets you a voicemail asking you to please leave a message with your appointment request and they'll call you back as soon as possible, have a nice day.]

[Hang up.]

[Let's try Work!]

[No dice, it just rings and rings- oh wait, someone picked up!!!]

What on earth are you doing.

[IT'S KNUT.]

Hey sweetie!

Looking for puzzle secrets, what else? Always gotta check everything out.

Well, you are certainly being quite thorough! I will take that into consideration when I give you your score. Are you having any trouble?

Nah, we're good. Ready for Angel, mister sneaky. Still exploring things. But guess I shouldn't bother mom, eh?

I...I do not think it would be very useful for you anyway.

But well, if you are truly satisfied that you do not need assistance...

If you say so. Though now I have your number, don't I~? What a lucky find for me!

We're good. After all, we're rats, wouldn't want to disappoint the lord.

[stammers a bit at the first part before SWIFTLY MOVING ON]

Ah, yes, yes. I know you will do me proud! You have a ways to go yet- good luck!

See you later, hun.

[Hanging up then.]

[Well! If she's up here, let's get to the top of the couch and survey the land from the top view.]

[You pretty much know the lay of the room by now- it's fairly sparse so there's no other furniture or anything that you can see. The only feature of note is an open doorway beyond the couch that leads into the kitchen.]

[Can I see what's on top of the furniture?]

[Reyson investigated the desk, but you can now see it as well. There's various things on top- a stack of papers, some pencils and paperclips, a vase, an ashtray, a ring of keys (which Reyson took...will take? TIMEY WIMEY). There's also a drawer underneath that he has already/will eventually open.

Nothing else of note.]

[Right then.]

[Okay, jumping down to the bottom cushion. Then gonna get behind a bottom cushion and PUSH until it's half on the couch and floor, no reason not to make an easier to climb incline to get back to the floor.]

[And make the good decision of heading towards the kitchen.]

[You do the thing and go to the place, heading into the kitchen. Away from the exit door. But sure, why not! Maybe there will be something useful in here. There's cupboards and counters to the right, appliances to the left.

Oh, yeah, and a tiny, fuzzy black kitten with a big pink bow, napping in front of the stove, since that's what you were really looking for isn't it.]

[Well, I wanted to case the joint for the cat, but.]

[But but but]

[It's a black.]

[Kitten.]

[With a pink bow.]

[The only thing that would be more tempting was if it was in a dapper suit or had four eyes.]

[.................]

[The others are doing a thing.]

..........

[I AM APPROACHING THE CAT]

[The kitty is sleeping and doesn't notice you as you approach- but look at that sweet widdle face and the tiny ickle paws! Can you really resist?]

You are shameless. Call me when you decide what you want to do.

[Flying down and putting these two wedge pieces together. Does it do anything or is he seriously going to have to lug a big one and a small one around?]

Maybe a lil.

[The wedges don't fit together at all, because one is tiny and the other is huge! They're definitely a match though, aside from the size difference.

The more you mess with the big one, the more you're determined to take it along. If nothing else, out of spite.]

[Goes to take his coat off to make a sling and then REMEMBERS HE'S WEARING A RAT COSTUME. Spite would be going to the kitchen and chucking it down the drain at this point. But that would be bad. Okay taking both of these and flying over to Reyson.]
