soulping | BARGHEST

[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!]

[anddd yanked right back out. for a spirit, it's pretty strong! it's a good thing, though, because as soon as Mira stepped in with both of his teammates it began to sink.]

Not so fast, cutie. This boat's a right piece of shit, see. It can only hold two people at a time.

[ excuse you, my teammates are asleep. ]

Whatever happened to weight limits? We're sittin in one spot, we ain't heavy.

Everyone weighs the same, far as the stupid boat cares. Them's the rules. [a wispy, sardonic grin like yes, I know how nonsensical that is.]

[ okay fine. he'll just drop lepus, then.

he's fine he can take care of himself. ]

[thumps awake.]

Ow...

[The spirit raises an eyebrow in amusement and...something else. Something hungry.]

You seriously gonna just leave him here? Man, you must not like him very much.

I'm gonna come back for 'em! No teammate gets left behind!

[ but he doesn't like that look no ]

Y'know what, I'll just take 'em both with me. What're you gonna do to stop me?

I ain't gonna stop you from doing anything. But you'll still sink if you try.

Then we'll sink as partners, an' not betrayers.

[oh god someone has to stop Mira being a shonen.]

Mira, seriously, shut up for a second. Why can't one of us stay here?

'cause I don't like 'em!

I wasn't asking you, Mr. Totally Unfashionable!

's not my fault our uniform doesn't even go well with my hair.

...Yeah, it kind of doesn't go with anything. I want a hoodie.

I wanna better jacket.

[ but anyway. ]

We're all goin'.

[watching this all with a great deal of amusement]

You're freakin' hilarious. Go ahead, be a jerk and sink our boat. At this point I'd almost prefer it to possessing you and eating your soul- this'll be much funner.

[WHOOP THERE IT IS]

[Listens to that, then immediately back to Dark.]

See, wasn't I all like, we should have burned this down? Like, all of it? Now we've gotta kill creepy soul eaters and I don't have my torch and I bet they don't even taste any good.

Just get on the boat! An' take Lupus with you!

Not gonna happen.

[Back to the creepy soul eater.]

This is another puzzle, isn't it? Do you know what we did to the last puzzle that got in our way? You want to join the door and the wall in the broken pile of shit we're about to beat, right?

[okay, the poltergeist fully cracks up at that.]

What the fuck're you gonna do, sweetheart? We're already dead, you can't touch us!

[while it's laughing it's ghostly head off, suddenly one of the other apparitions speaks up.]

Can't get you...if we're out...numbered. Or...even.

So I'll take one of 'em on the boat with me, you take one, and Lupus'll take one.

[I bet I could take it!]

That works... The boat'll come back, right?

[The other spirit sways a bit before answering.] Can't go...on its own. Not...magic.
