[Kaito's Heart]

[soulping]

[A gust of wind rushes past you, so strong that you nearly stumble backwards from the force. You hear whispers in your ear, an unfamiliar voice saying, no, not here, not now, go back, before your senses shut off entirely]

[You wake up again to find yourself in a room]

... Hi guys! We got into a fight.

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[carptricks]

[DRAGON STILL RAMPAGING]

[. . . but in his anger, he knocked over a few puppets. Ivy can see the glint of something across the floor, an iron key sticking out of one of the puppet's stomachs]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[clocksandroses]

[oh god oh god it's attacking them]

[. . . SHOOTS CARDGUN AT DRAGON'S BUTT!!!?]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[carptricks]

[OKAY SO. . . it makes sense that cards can't cut through dragon scales, right? since they're cards. and dragon scales are tough]

[but for some reason, those cards she shoots manage to embed themselves right into the dragon's rear end]

[the dragon roars again, crashing into the wall, but hilariously not breaking through it, and. . . starts to calm down]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[clocksandroses]

[ . . . well then]

Are you done throwing a fit, you silly dragon?

[MARCHING OVER TO IT, super cautious for any flailing and cardgun still at the ready.]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[carptricks]

[despite calming down, the dragon still seems a bit agitated. it flicks his tail and snarls a bit, but doesn't lash out at her]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[clocksandroses]

I'll shoot you somewhere more sensitive if you don't mind your manners!

[Approaches just a little further . . . But she'll stop if it looks like it might lash out.]

Can you understand me?

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[carptricks]

[. . . the dragon bobs its head forward, still growling. yes, it can]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[clocksandroses]

Are you hurting anywhere?

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[carptricks]

[the dragon curls its lips back, then lifts up a claw hand to gesture towards its heart]

[hurting here]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[clocksandroses]

. . . Can you help us help you? We need more keys.

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[carptricks]

[this time, the noise the dragon makes isn't a snarl as much as a. . . low rumbling noise]

[it coughs]

[the coughs again]

[. . . and then coughs up the seventh and final key]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[debate_avenger]

[...Well then. I suppose I should take this opportunity to examine that vault door that the dragon was guarding.]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[carptricks]

[The dragon is still blocking half of it, but Diz can see that it's secured with a vault lock and seven chains + padlock combinations]

[there's smoke leaking out from underneath it]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[debate_avenger]

I thought so...

Well then, if that's where the smoke is coming from, that's probably our destination, but we still need one more...

I'm heading into the portal everyone, I'll leave the puppet with anyone that wants to fix it up, though.

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[fuhrinkaed]

...I'll give it a shot.

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[debate_avenger]

[Then, I'll be passing the puppet off to you and head inside the portal.]

Good luck, I'll see if I can find the last key.

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[carptricks]

[You pass through the portal and enter a small, cramped room with glass walls. Those who attended Nyssa's game would easily recognize this as one of the glass cylinders that imprisoned Kaito and others while everyone else voted. Thankfully, the portal you entered through remains behind you. Unlike those cylinders, this one has an exit.]

[There is a puppet hanging from the ceiling of this room as well. It's a small marionette of Kaito, though there is a theatrical comedy mask glued to his face. On the ground, you'll find scattered, bloodied bandages]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[debate_avenger]

[I've been in one before, yes. Let's see, then... First, let's clean up these bandages.]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[hyanaimne]

[after she's done convincing Diamond that the dragon is supposed to be here, Clover is going to go through the portal to see if she can't help find anything.

And stops short when she sees what's on the other side]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[fuhrinkaed]

[IM TRYING TO REASSEMBLE THE QUEEN PUPPET.]

[By using a needle and thread if one is available. OR if not, just. Making it. As close to presentable and in one piece as I can. :'D]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[carptricks]

[. . . sure, there's a needle and thread located in the hollow inside of the marionette puppet]

[he can use that to repair the queen! Though she's not the only puppet hurt, several others have been knocked down during the dragon fight]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[debate_avenger]

[Of course, I got the wrong puppet. Figures.]

Well, that's one more, at least.

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[secretbooty]

[REACHING OUT TO GRAB IT, you are mine shiny object]

Re: CASTLE DUNGEONS

[carptricks]

[IT IS ALL YOURS]

[that makes six keys and one still rampaging dragon]
